Question 1

Can I buy now and pay later?

Accepted Answer

Yes — at checkout choose to split your purchase into interest-free instalments.

Availability varies by region, and eligibility criteria applies.

If you don't see a pay-later option that works for you, please [contact our support team](/contact) and we'll do our best to help.

Question 2

How quickly will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Some users start to feel benefits within the first few sessions. For the most reliable read, we recommend using your Samphire Headband consistently for at least **three full menstrual cycles** (or three months if you don't currently cycle). Everyone's body and brain respond differently, so the trajectory varies — the Samphire App will help you track changes in mood, sleep, and pain over time so you can see what's shifting.

Question 3

Does the Samphire Headband work with my medications or HRT?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Neurostimulation can be safely used alongside most medications, including antidepressants, hormonal contraception, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Many people use the Samphire Headband alongside HRT to support mood, focus, and pain symptoms that HRT alone may not fully address.

It should **not** be used at the same time as another active neurostimulation device. Before using the Samphire Headband, review the user manual carefully and, if you have any doubt, consult your healthcare professional.

Question 4

What does it feel like?

Accepted Answer

Some users describe a mild tingling sensation where the device rests — that's a normal effect of the gentle electrical current and usually fades within a few minutes. The sensation also declines with continued use.

Whether you feel it or not does not affect how well it works.

Question 5

Who is the Samphire Headband for?

Accepted Answer

The Samphire Headband is designed to support people across the full hormonal lifespan — not only those who currently menstruate. CycleSync™ adapts the protocol to where you are.

We currently support people managing:

- **Menstrual conditions:** PMDD, PMS, endometriosis, adenomyosis, dysmenorrhea (period pain)
- **Hormonal–metabolic:** PCOS (also known as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome / PMOS)
- **Pelvic pain:** chronic pelvic pain, vulvodynia, pelvic floor dysfunction
- **Life-stage transitions:** perimenopause, postmenopause, postpartum
- **Cycle-suppressed states:** on hormonal contraception, post-hysterectomy
- **Trying to conceive (TTC):** the Samphire Headband is non-pharmacological and has no known fertility interaction

If your situation isn't on this list, write to us at [support@samphireneuro.com](mailto:support@samphireneuro.com) — we'll help you figure out whether the Samphire Headband fits.

Question 6

Is it safe to use the Samphire Headband every day?

Accepted Answer

Yes — daily 20-minute sessions are safe for most users. The Samphire App and CycleSync™ algorithm will tell you how often to use your Samphire Headband based on your symptoms and life stage. Some people use it daily; others use it on 5–6 days per cycle.

You should not use neurostimulation if you are under 18, pregnant, have epilepsy or a history of seizures, have neurological implants, have active suicidal thoughts or severe psychiatric illness, or have cranial lesions, tumours, or other defects in the skull. See our [contraindications guide](/support/running-a-session/important-contraindications) for full details.

Question 7

What if my cycle is irregular, or I don't have a period?

Accepted Answer

The Samphire Headband and CycleSync™ are designed to handle this. The algorithm doesn't depend on a regular 28-day cycle to know when to schedule sessions.

If your cycle is irregular — whether because of perimenopause, PCOS / PMOS, postpartum recovery, hormonal contraception, post-hysterectomy, or any other reason — CycleSync™ adjusts. Instead of anchoring sessions to specific cycle phases, it builds a schedule around the symptoms you log in the Samphire App.

The same applies if you don't currently have periods at all. The algorithm uses symptom patterns, life stage, and the goals you set as the inputs — not cycle data alone.
