"I have awful menstrual pain, and if I don't do anything about it, I lie in bed all day, vomiting and writhing in pain. Advil Liqui-Gels are the only medication that totally relieve my pain, and it does so within minutes! Without Advil Liqui-Gels, I wouldn't be able to function and would need to take time off work. Thank you, Advil Liqui-Gels, you are my savior!"

"I've had extremely painful menstrual cramps since I started my period. After having it checked and prescribed many different pain relievers by doctors, I finally tried Advil Liqui-Gel capsules and it's definitely the only one that's worked. Mind you, the cramps were so bad I couldn't move from the bed for the first 2 days, vomiting, couldn't get sleep, and back pain. This has become a lot less now for the past 3 months since I've been taking Liqui-Gels."

"As much as I don’t like taking medications (I just feel like it’s not good for your kidneys and it’s not natural), I suffer from very painful period cramps every month. I tried using other remedies, but TBH none of them work (even for weed). I normally feel very weak on my first day of my period, and I almost can’t feel any blood in my limbs. Painkillers like Advil work well, and I felt like I was normal again. Would recommend it."

"I have PCOS, endometriosis, and cysts in my ovaries, and have extremely painful periods to the point where I can't even get off my bed. The cramping literally feels like labor pains! My back and muscles ache, and I get really strong migraines. I tried multiple medications and even have prescription ibuprofen, but it doesn't even help like the Advil Liqui-Gels."

"I suffer with endometriosis. Due to this, the pain is brutal. I have tried most everything under the sun for relief. I highly recommend Advil Liqui-Gels for fast relief with little stomach upset."

"The pain was in my back for some odd reason instead of my stomach, and it was gone about 20-30 minutes after I took the Advil. I could feel nothing for about two hours."

"I suffer from PCOS and endometriosis. Advil Liqui-Gels is the only medication that can make my pain bearable. I have tried multiple medications, but nothing like Advil for my period!"

"Didn't work. I took 2 as the first dose because I have intense menstrual pain, but nothing happened. I waited for an hour before taking another one, hoping it would kick in, yet still nothing happened. I guess I can't say I'm surprised; nothing has ever helped my cramps. At this point, I just need to see a doctor ASAP."
