Cooling Off

Super radiant heat flowing through my body can be immensely inconvenient.

 The heat feels like I am being infused with a hot hot liquid. It occurs at the worst of times, like when I am speaking to a stranger, or our pastor, or shopping with my husband. Then I get wiggly and irritated from the heat. I am convinced I appear quite odd. Or…odder than usual. Menopause is the cause. Not for me being odd but for my extraordinary flashes of heat. The withdrawal of that important hormone estrogen from a women's body causes the cessation of periods, the inability to reproduce, and the onset of menopause and what is commonly known as hot flashes.

There is help for my super radiant heat now. I gently place Poise Cooling Towelettes on my pulse points, at my wrists and neck, and the towelettes instantly provide a cooling sensation. The Poise Cooling Towelettes are easily kept in my purse. I have had these samples for about a week now and I can whip out my Poise Cooling Towelettes at the first inkling of a hot flash. I keep a second pack of towelettes, that I purchased, on my bedside table because night sweats are always a possibility too. 

If you are not aware of it by now, I am a Registered Nurse and drift into medical speak at times (it's my default language when I talk about sex). Vaginal dryness can make intimacy difficult and even painful. Fess up, you know we all want to have great sex. Poise provides a Personal Lubricant that gives long lasting lubrication that can result in increased intimacy (yes, I've tried it). Poise Personal Lubricant is made without fragrance, glycerin, or parabens. Proper lubrication can be a game changer. Let's enter into intimacy, with our partners, with confidence.

Fifty million women across North America are approaching or are in menopause. They may experience some or all of the symptoms of menopause. These symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, painful intercourse, increased anxiety or irritability, and increased need to urinate with possible bladder leakage. The 2013 Product of the Year award winning Poise feminine wellness line was created to help women stay fresh and comfortable.

Other products in the Poise line include Roll On Cooling Gel that provides cooling and refreshment. The effects last for up to ten minutes. Panty Fresheners have a fresh and clean scent that lasts up to four hours. These are hypoallergenic and stick to your undergarment. Feminine Wash is a gentle wash that helps you feel clean and fresh. It is pH-balanced, glycerin, and paraben free.
