Menopause and Wicking Sleepwear: Say Goodbye to Night Sweats

Menopause is a natural part of aging that will eventually happen to all women. However, the hormonal changes that occur during menopause can cause a range of uncomfortable symptoms, including hot flashes and night sweats. These symptoms can make it difficult to get a good night’s sleep, which can lead to a variety of health problems. One solution to help with night sweats is wicking sleepwear.

What are Night Sweats?

Night sweats, also known as sleep hyperhidrosis, are episodes of sweating that occur during sleep. They are a common symptom of menopause and can leave you feeling uncomfortable and unable to get a good night’s rest. Night sweats can also be a symptom of other medical conditions, so it’s important to talk to your doctor if you’re experiencing them. 

There is no need to be changing your sheets 1 (or more...) times a night! We have the solution with our wicking sleepwear.

How Can Wicking Sleepwear Help?

Wicking sleepwear is made from fabric that draws moisture away from your skin and to the surface of the fabric where it can evaporate. This helps to keep you cool and dry throughout the night. Wicking sleepwear is typically made from natural fibers such as bamboo or modal.  It can also be made synthetically as well with polyester.

Benefits of Wicking Sleepwear

1. Temperature Regulation: Wicking sleepwear helps to regulate your body temperature, which is especially important during menopause. It prevents overheating and drenching the bed with sweat.
2. Comfort: Wicking sleepwear absorbs moisture from your body and disperses it to the fabric. This reduces the clammy, sticky feeling caused by sweating while you sleep.
3. Improved Sleep: Wicking sleepwear can help you sleep more comfortably and prevent interruptions from night sweats. Better sleep means less fatigue during the day.
4. Hygiene: Wicking sleepwear can prevent bacterial growth, which can lead to skin infections due to sweat buildup.

Tips for Choosing Wicking Sleepwear

1. Look for natural fibers like bamboo.
2. Avoid fabrics that retain water, like silk or nylon.
3. Choose loose-fitting garments that allow air to flow.
4. Keep in mind WHERE on your body you sweat, you want the fabric covering that area to wick the sweat away.
5. Consider stocking up for when one is in the wash, I often get told how thankful someone is that they get two sets, or I tend to see them back within another week when they go to wash theirs!
