This is the most important thing to understand about Hunter Intimacy Melts, and the reason it works differently from any topical intimacy oil.
There are many cannabinoid receptors in the pelvic tissues. Inserting CBD vaginally or anally allows for more targeted relief than what topical or oral ingestion of these ingredients can provide.
When you apply an oil externally, CBD absorbs through the skin and works on surface tissue. When you use a suppository, CBD is delivered directly to the deeper pelvic muscles, vaginal walls, cervix, and surrounding tissue — the structures where tension, pain, and dryness originate.
CBD introduced to the body via the vagina has high bioavailability. The absorption rate is much higher than CBD taken orally, which must make its way through the digestive system first.
Hunter melts at body temperature. As it dissolves, the full-spectrum CBD and organic cocoa butter disperse into the surrounding tissue, working from the inside out to:

Two ingredients, nothing else. That's it. No alcohol. No petroleum-based ingredients. No phthalates, glycerin, parabens, or dyes. Never tested on animals.
Fair-Trade and Certified-Organic Cocoa Butter
The base of Hunter Intimacy Melts with CBD. Cocoa butter melts at body temperature and that's what makes the suppository format work. As it dissolves, it releases the CBD evenly through the surrounding tissue and coats the vaginal walls with deep, lasting moisture. Cocoa butter is also one of the few intimate-use bases that is completely nut and coconut allergy safe, making Hunter accessible to anyone who can't use products containing coconut oil.
Full-Spectrum Hemp Extract (THC ≤ 0.3%)
Whole-plant CBD from sustainably grown hemp, preserving the full range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and plant compounds that work together through the entourage effect. The anti-inflammatory and muscle-relaxing properties of CBD are well-documented; studies suggest that CBD can help reduce inflammation in the pelvic area, making it an attractive option for those with conditions like endometriosis or dysmenorrhea.
Hunter was formulated for a wide range of bodies and needs. You may find it helpful if you:
Pelvic pain is one of the most under-treated issues in women's health.
It's estimated that nearly 75% of all people with vulvas will experience pain during penetrative sex at some point in their life. Whether from menopause, endometriosis, pelvic floor tension, postpartum recovery, or conditions like vaginismus and vulvodynia; the pain is real, it's common, and it's rarely talked about openly enough.
Most solutions are either pharmaceutical, invasive, or not designed for intimate use at all.
Hunter is different. It's a plant-based suppository made with two clean ingredients. No chemicals. No hormones. Hunter Intimacy Melts with CBD deliver full-spectrum CBD directly to the tissue where you need relief. Not through your digestive system. Not through your bloodstream. Right there.
What is a CBD suppository and how does it work?
A CBD suppository is a small, solid capsule — in Hunter's case, made from organic cocoa butter and full-spectrum hemp — that is inserted vaginally or anally, where it melts at body temperature and delivers CBD directly to the surrounding pelvic tissue. This is different from topical oils or oral CBD products; instead of absorbing through skin or traveling through the digestive system, the CBD is delivered immediately to the deep pelvic muscles, vaginal walls, and surrounding tissue where pain, tension, and dryness originate. The result is faster, more targeted relief.
Can CBD suppositories help with menopause-related pain and dryness?
Yes, and this is one of Hunter's primary use cases. During menopause, declining estrogen causes vaginal tissue to thin and dry, and the body's natural cannabinoid production also decreases which can worsen pelvic tension and pain. Hunter's full-spectrum CBD works to increase blood flow to vaginal tissue, reduce inflammation, and relax pelvic floor muscles, while the organic cocoa butter base provides deep, lasting moisture to the vaginal walls. Many customers use Hunter daily as a vaginal moisturizer in addition to using it before intimacy.
Can CBD suppositories help with endometriosis or chronic pelvic pain?
Emerging research is promising. CBD has well-documented anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, and suppositories deliver it directly to the pelvic tissue where endometriosis-related inflammation occurs. A 2024 study from Harvard Medical School published in npj Women's Health found that participants who used high-CBD suppositories for menstrual-related pain showed significantly greater improvement in symptoms compared to those who did not. Hunter is not a medical treatment for endometriosis, but many customers with pelvic pain conditions including endometriosis, vaginismus, and pelvic floor dysfunction use it as part of their daily wellness routine.
Is Hunter safe for people with coconut or tree nut allergies?
Yes. This is one of Hunter's most important differentiators. Hunter's base is certified fair-trade organic cocoa butter, not coconut oil. It is safe for people with coconut and tree nut allergies. This makes Hunter the only Upstate Mary product accessible to customers with these sensitivities. (Note: Hunter does contain cocoa-derived ingredients. Avoid if you have a known allergy to cocoa or chocolate.)
Will I feel high from using Hunter Intimacy Melts with CBD?
No. Hunter contains full-spectrum hemp extract with THC at or below the legal threshold of 0.3%. When used vaginally or rectally as a suppository, CBD does not enter the bloodstream in significant psychoactive amounts. The effect is localized and can provide muscle relaxation, reduced inflammation, and increased comfort in the pelvic tissue — not a systemic high.
Can I use Hunter if I'm post-cancer treatment?
Hunter is completely hormone-free and contains no synthetic chemicals, making it a popular option for people who have had cancer treatment and are managing pelvic symptoms without hormone therapy. As with any wellness product, we recommend consulting with your oncologist or healthcare provider before use if you have specific medical concerns.
How often can I use Hunter Intimacy Melts?
Hunter is safe for daily use. Many customers use it regularly and not just around intimacy — as a vaginal moisturizer and pelvic tension aid. For daily use, insert one melt at a comfortable time of day (many people prefer evening). For intimacy use, insert 5–10 minutes before sexual activity.
How is Hunter different from Friday Arousal Oil or Slide Intimacy Oil?
Friday and Slide are topical oils applied externally to the vulva and skin. Hunter is an internal suppository that works from inside the vagina. They address different layers of the same goal: comfort and pleasure. Friday increases external arousal and sensation; Slide provides external glide and moisture; Hunter relaxes and moisturizes from the inside. Many customers use a combination of products for a complete intimacy system.
Is Hunter compatible with condoms or sex toys?
Hunter is oil-based (cocoa butter), which degrades latex and polyisoprene. It is not compatible with latex condoms, polyisoprene condoms, diaphragms, or silicone toys. If a barrier method is needed, use polyurethane or nitrile condoms which are oil-safe.
Where is Hunter made?
Hunter is made in small batches in New York using sustainably grown, independently lab-tested hemp. Certificates of Analysis (COAs) for every batch are available, confirming CBD potency and the absence of pesticides, heavy metals, and contaminants.
CBD and Sex--How does it work?
Here's the short version: CBD--a cannabinoid derived from the cannabis plant interacts directly with your nervous system. Within the nervous system is a complex network of neurotransmitters and receptors called the endocannabinoid system that regulate hormone production, physical sensation and emotional processing.
When you add CBD to your sex life, cannabinoids can interact with this system to heighten libido, relax your body and enhance your experience.
Can men use CBD-infused Intimacy Oil too?
All of the formulas for our intimacy product line were created with vulva-owners in mind.
Now, when it comes to the guys, it's worth mentioning that the skin on the penis behaves a bit differently. It's not as absorbent, especially if you're uncircumcised. So, when you use our products, the primary benefit you'll feel is that they'll keep things nice and moisturized down there, reducing any discomfort from friction.
While some guys have told us they've had an extra exciting time on their own using our products, most folks find that the real magic happens when they share the experience with their partner. It's all about enhancing the pleasure together.
Are your products free of toxins and chemicals?
Absolutely! We test every ingredient and every batch of our products for purity, potency and the presence of harmful substances. Certificates of Analysis (COAs) for all products and batches are available here.
When do your products expire?
We set a best-by date of 18 months from the date of manufacture for our products. This date can usually be found on the packaging or bottles.
If you cannot find a best-by date on your product(s), please contact us at: hello@upstatemary.com and we will be happy to assist you!
Are your intimacy products safe for oral sex?
The answer is simple, YES!
All of our Intimacy products are made with organic, all-natural and food-grade ingredients. While our products were not created specifically for oral consumption, they can be an excellent addition to oral sex.
