Thanks to our Male Allies for wearing the vest at our inaugural What The Fog Menopause Event.

This outerwear garment delivers intense hot flushes (as well as triggering brain fog, palpitations, headaches, anxiety and a loss of confidence) and is designed to be worn whilst performing typical work duties.

In just a few minutes, wearers can appreciate the impact symptoms can have for some, and the need to better support those colleagues transitioning through menopause.

Why Focus on Hot Flushes?

We use MenoVest™ to highlight awareness of all the associated signs of menopause.

75% of women experience hot flushes, even if on HRT

Hot flushes are the most challenging aspect of menopause, after disrupted sleep.

Hot flushes trigger other symptoms such as anxiety, brain fog and loss of confidence.

  • What Our Clients Have to Say

    "For those who haven't experienced the feeling of a hot flush, it is easy to underestimate its intensity and to appreciate just what an impact it has on daily life. By simulating the sudden creep of heat, MenoVest™ will help wearers better understand the effect hot flushes can have."

  • What Our Clients Have to Say

    It made me think that men have to be a lot more tolerant of women who are going through enormous changes. The banter ‘You know, it’s just menopause’ has got to stop.
