Night Sweats

by Karen Lynch

Chemical menopause and natural menopause have more than one thing in common: hot flashes, vaginal dryness (a topic for another day for sure) and ugh, icky, sticky night sweats.

My husband (yes, he’s very much ‘in the know’ about everything related to breast cancer, God bless him, just because of me) read about this air conditioned bed designed to keep you cool at night on one of his favorite sites, Treehugger.

Far fetched? Of course. But here’s something more reasonable to help you through the sweats:

I recommend Night Sweatz ‘cool, hip, dry sleepwear’ for the times it gets really bad. My mom gave me a Night Sweatz gown when I was kicked into menopause; it really did feel cool against my skin and I didn’t feel like I was swimming in my clothes when I woke up. (Thought I might have preferred a cute two piece set like this one here).

Are there other products you know about to help women get through ‘the change’ as my grandmother used to say? I’d love to hear about them!

    I realize this post is not current but since you asked for information about what women have found to help control night sweats I wanted to tell what I found.
    I started taking this product to improve my nutrition and was surprised when my night sweats went away in about a week.
    It’s not a drug, that’s really important to me. I tried many herbal remedies but never found much if any relief.
    Anyway this product worked for me.
