If you've ever had to peel off the covers in the middle of the night, fan yourself wildly at a café, or change your top for the third time in a day, you’re not alone. Hot flashes and night sweats are a hallmark of perimenopause and menopause, and they’re not just “a bit of a glow.” They can be disruptive, uncomfortable and downright exhausting.
So, why does your body feel like it’s overheating?
During perimenopause and menopause, estrogen levels start to drop, and this affects more than just your reproductive cycle. It also messes with your body’s internal thermostat. The hypothalamus, the part of the brain that regulates your body temperature, becomes extra sensitive. Even a tiny change in temperature can trigger it to sound the alarm bells and kick off a full-body cooling response.
Suddenly, your blood vessels dilate (causing that flushed, red face), your heart rate spikes and sweat pours out to help cool you down, even if you weren’t hot to begin with.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, about 75% of women going through menopause will experience hot flashes. They can last for a few seconds or stretch out for several minutes, and they may strike at any time, day or night.
It’s not just annoying - it’s exhausting. Especially when it disrupts your sleep or leaves you feeling self-conscious during the day.
There are ways to stay comfortable and confident
While you can’t always predict when the next hot flash will hit, you can make your space and clothing work with you, not against you.
At Conni, we know that sweat isn’t just about working out or hot summer days. It’s also about hormones. That’s why many of our products designed for incontinence can also lend a hand when it comes to managing excessive perspiration.
