Cool Links Neck Wrap: A New Way to Beat the Hot Flashes
Popsicles, frozen peas, wet towels, fans full blast; she tried everything. The hot flashes and night sweats were becoming more regular. She just turned 49 years old and didn't want to enter her 50s in discomfort. The reality of menopause was sinking in. Sometimes it was subtle or sometimes it was extreme, but either way she just wanted some relief.
My mom tried everything to beat the heat. When I was a kid, she always did everything to make sure I was taken care of and comfortable. So it was difficult to see her going through this transitional period in her life without that comfort she was so good at providing.
Those years always stuck with me. It would be winter and she would run to the freezer, seemingly sweating, just to find some short term relief. Sure, as a 20 something year old man-child, I would sometimes giggle and tease, but I knew I wanted to do something to help.
The idea started with ice in a sock, and after many years of tinkering we did it; we created the Cool Links neck wrap.
Every detail was carefully thought of to keep mom comfortable just like she did for me all those years (and still does). We hope you enjoy it too! Pick one up at: https://thecoollinks.com/collections/products.
This sounds interesting if you need to keep cool. Hot flashes were never one of the things I needed to endure during menopause. Before you call me lucky though...I suffered through cold flashes. I'm sure everyone would say they'd rather have cold flashes, but first picture yourself shivering under a fleece blanket in 90 degree heat with 90% humidity while you are soaking wet. (Because it's 90 degrees with 90% humidity and before the cold flash happened, you were sweating in the heat.) It's not a pretty picture. Especially when people keep asking if you are sick. Fun.
ReplyDeleteWow! I never thought of what it must be like to have the reverse problem!
DeleteOh, man, I've got to get me one of these! I'm into my 21st years of flashing.

Ha-ha!! That's hilarious!!
DeleteWhat a great invention! How sweet that you made this for your mom. I'm a hot flash sufferer so I'll def click over to your sales site. Your timing is great too, since summer is around the corner. Mind you, I can get the night sweats all year. Thanks for sharing Alex's product here, Marcia :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great? I need a bunch of these!
DeleteThanks Diane & Lisa. We just released the product last year and have gotten amazing responses from customers. It really works amazing for those days when it's just too hot. Having extra cubes in the freezer really helps keep you cool all day or when you're out and about. Here's a little discount code for you to get $5 off: HW5OFF
