CBD Suppositories

Maybe you massage CBD into your muscles, or let a droplet of oil dribble into your mouth.

But have you ever gotten your CBD by inserting it anally or vaginally? For a number of reasons, ranging from decreased pain to increased pleasure, more and more people — especially vagina owners — are. Here’s the lowdown on inserting CBD down there.

What are CBD suppositories, exactly?

Suppositories are small round or cone-shaped medications designed to be inserted into the vagina, anus, or urethra. Once inside, the medication melts or dissolves and is absorbed by the body.

It’s estimated that nearly 75 percent of all people with vulvas will experience pain during penetrative sex at some point in their life.

Heather Jeffcoat, a doctor of physical therapy specializing in sexual dysfunction and author of “Sex Without Pain: A Self-Treatment Guide to the Sex Life You Deserve,” says she’s had patients with dyspareunia report reduced pain during intercourse when using suppositories.

      My last appointment with Heather was over 6 years ago but I still think of her every day. I don’t take for granted that I can easily get out of bed, care for my two active and busy young boys, run, play tennis, clean my house, or sit at a desk for several hours at a time. None of these tasks were easy for me before meeting Heather. Eight years ago my car was struck from behind by a tractor trailer that was estimated to have been speeding.
