Keeping Cool in Hawaii

Aloha from Hawaii!

Maybe I shouldn't be admitting this to the world but I'm experiencing hot flashes more than any other woman I know! This horrible symptom of menopause has been going on for over two years for me! When will it end?

If you haven't had a hot flash let me explain how it feels. It's different that just feeling hot from warm weather. It's more like an internal heat. It radiates outward and from what I understand it feels different to different women. For me, my back and the back of my neck are the worst. I think a cold person could stand next to me during one of my hot flashes and I would radiate enough heat to warm them up! Luckily they only last a minute or two.

After trying many things (aside from hormones, which I refuse to do), I still have no relief. When I heard that Poise had a line of products to help women like me I decided to sign up to try it and blog about it.

I got the product right before my vacation to Hawaii so I packed it away in my suitcase!

Hot flashes in 80 degree humid weather are not fun. I just pulled out one of these Poise Body Cooling Towlettes for hot flash comfort and it really did provide a cooling sensation! I can see carrying these in my purse and keeping it on my nightstand. It doesn't feel like a normal baby wipe type of towelette--it has a lingering cooling feeling after you use it. I like the towelettes because they seem very discreet. Nobody would even realize what you were doing. 

Body Cooling Towelettes offer help with cooling and refreshment. Gently wipe the towelette on wrists, chest or neck to feel cool and comfortable. Featuring a portable, re-sealable package, these towelettes are easy to use anywhere you go

Even though hot flashes aren't fun I feel really fortunate that that is the only change I seem to be experiencing but Poise has a whole line of products to help women stay fresh and comfortable.

- Fifty million women across North America are approaching or experiencing menopause and most have an average of five menopausal symptoms. But no two experiences are exactly alike.
