NO MORE CURSING
It’s not fair. Finally, the decades of pelvic pain and bloating are ending. But just then, the body’s cooling system goes wonky, ushering in hellish hot flashes and severe night sweats.

The Menopod is a durable, palm-sized, electronic gadget that provides nearly instant relief. Unlike ice, which goes from too cold to messy and melted, with only a brief sweet spot in between, the Menopod gets to the ideal, cooling temperature—41 degrees Fahrenheit—and stays there. Just press a button and hold it to the back of your neck for one minute. No scary hormones, no annoying mess, just sleek, technology-enabled, relief.

For working women, especially, the Menopod could be a godsend (it even purposely resembles a computer mouse, so it blends into a work setting). The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists reports that an average of 27 million women—20% of the American workforce—experience menopause each year. 80% of them are symptomatic, and none of them want to be interrupted, much less sidelined, by hot flashes and uncomfortable sweating. Its battery can be charged from either a USB or standard outlet. Designed in Canada. Made in China.
