Product Description
Combining Sex and the City sensibilities with sound medical advice from renowned physicians, this book offers women and men a lighthearted romp through the premenstrual minefield. For women, the book is full of take-charge, illustrated strategies covering diet, exercise, hormones, healing approaches, and relationship guidance. The book's approach to managing and ultimately breaking free from PMS is for real women who have jobs, kids, late-night food benders, bathtubs with rings and a genuine desire to put PMS behind them. The men's side provides some much-needed advice about how to live with and love premenstrual women. Secondhand PMS can put a stranglehold on relationships with mothers, sisters, wives, girlfriends and coworkers. The Prince and the PMS gives men the tools they need to walk an estrogen-slick tightrope once a month, without losing their minds, tempers or sense of humor. This two-in-one book is a must-read for any woman (or man) between 18 and 50. An ideal bachelor party present and a perfect gift for any woman who's found herself at the mercy of the hormonal hurricane. It s practical, motivational, laugh-out-loud funny and chock full of practical advice.

A humorous read June 9, 2008
The Princess and the PMS provides a funny, light read on a day you don't want to do much other than lay on the couch with your feet elevated. Although most of the information was not new to me, it is presented in a light hearted way that may take our minds off of our cramps and ease our latest moodswing a bit. I also enjoyed the flipside of the book (which I thought was a great idea), The Prince and the PMS. It is presented so that even a guy can understand it. Maybe they'll get it now! If you're looking to add a little humor to your cycle, or at least want reassurance that you in fact are not alone, this book will do it.
 Entertaining, amusing but heavy on cliches May 29, 2008
Princess and the PMS tries to keep light the serious subject of PMS. Perhaps it tries too hard to be funny. But the book has some good tips and I've tried many of them, like diet changes, and it does work. It is an easy and quick read and is a good book I would recommend for women who haven't done much research on their own. The Prince side (the flip side) is amusing, and while I wish all men would read it, I really can't see guys sitting down to read it.
A Good Toilet Read May 29, 2008
The book was an easy read and enjoyable but not really something I jumped into or couldn't put down. It's a good book to keep by the toilet when you have a few extra minutes. I agree that it relied heavily on cliches about PMS, but there was some good advice as far as diet and daily routines. I think men would also enjoy the second half of the book, as I'm sure they can relate to those stereotypes of women and PMS. A cute book to give to a girl friend when it's that time of the month.
Not a lot of new information... May 28, 2008
This book is at times amusing, but I find it relies too heavily on cliched man/woman stereotypes and witticisms. If you are fairly well versed in proper body care and nutrition, there isn't a lot that this book can teach you. I did like the idea of charting PMS symptoms, and the chart included in the book for this purpose. Cute book.
PMS for Couples January 27, 2008
The Princess and the PMS: The PMS Owner's Manual/ The Prince and the PMS: The Survival Manual is a combination book about PMS for both men and women. The Owner's (women's) side takes you through recognizing symptoms that are related to PMS vs those that are just stress related to treating your worst symptoms. The book offers a chart of vitamins and supplements and which symptoms they help to relieve which I found to be a nice "at your fingertips" type of guide. While the cartoons and conversational tone lent to an easy read, I didn't feel that there was much groundbreaking information that a mature woman wouldn't already know about her PMS.
