Menopause Relief Gifts

If you or your loved one could benefit from everyday naturally-derived products, we’re here for you.

Of course, we’re putting our own products at the top of the list for menopause relief gifts. But don’t worry, we’re not scared to recommend other amazing companies too! 

At Last Naturals

Our Wild Yam Cream and Gel and Vaginal Replenishment Gel work to relieve the most stubborn menopause discomforts. These products help to replenish the body’s moisture, balance hormones, and cool you off! Check out our Relief Sets for combined defense against imbalanced hormones and dryness.

P.S. These products are also helpful for women going through PMS!

Pause Well-Aging

Pause Well-Aging’s Founder Rochelle Weitzner says, “As women, we’ve been bombarded with beauty messages our whole lives, but [...] it’s like we turn 45 and suddenly we’re invisible. [...] What’s up with that?”

We’ve been asking ourselves the same thing.

We also love that Pause doesn’t buy into the anti-aging movement, rather they focus on “well-aging” because beauty doesn’t vanish when you age, it evolves.

We couldn’t agree more!

Pause offers an awesome Hot Flash Cooling Mist that works to cool and calm the skin, reduce redness, and evaporate sweat — creating the sensation that your body’s surface temperature is actually lowering. This product is perfect for everyday defense against menopause hot flashes!

Chilled Lady

Chilled Lady is the definition of a small business — founded by a mother-daughter duo.

The company was born after Mom opened up about the troubles of her menopause experience.  She mentioned that although the physical symptoms were tough, one of the hardest parts of her experience was feeling so alone. She searched the internet and found comfort knowing that other women felt the same way... and also had some awesome menopause-related product ideas!

As a result, Chilled Lady was formed to spread the message about how even the simplest products (and a good support system) can greatly improve your menopause experience.

Give the gift of cool with their Chill Socks and Chill Pillows, designed to provide relief from menopause hot flashes and night sweats.

Menopause Relief Fashion and Jewelry

Become

Become is a female-powered startup company that creates clothes designed to reduce the impacts of menopause night sweats and hot flashes. They use a complex mix of yarns and Anti-Flush Technology™ to create clothing that’s comfortable, breathable, and cool to the touch.

Not only do their clothes work to absorb heat from hot flashes, but they’re also designed to release that heat back onto the body to soothe the chill that sometimes follows hot flashes.

They offer everyday essentials like briefs, shapewear, nightdresses, camisoles, t-shirts, leggings, and face masks. Their clothing makes a perfect gift for the hottest menopausal women.

Menopause Books

Books are an awesome go-to gift for women going through their menopause journey. They allow women (plus, we have a good rec for husbands too!) to hear about other people’s experiences, understand they’re not alone, and enjoy a good laugh.

After all, laughter is the best medicine!

Check out these reading recs:

• The Funny Side of Menopause by Kathleen Morris tells funny menopause stories and reminds us that it’s okay (healthy even) to laugh at ourselves.
• What Would Susie Say?: Bullsh*t Wisdom About Love, Life and Comedy by Susie Essman allows us to explore menopause (plus marriage, stepparenthood, and more) from the hilarious, blunt perspective of a stand-up comedian.
• The Happy Menopause: Smart Nutrition to Help You Flourish by Jackie Lynch gives easy and practical nutrition and lifestyle advice for perimenopausal and menopausal women — of course, considering no two menopause experiences are the same.

It presents facts and explores the physical and psychological aspects of menopause to help men better understand what their wives might be going through.
