Did you know? Nearly 8 out of 10 women report experiencing hot flashes during menopause. This symptom, which is as common as it is uncomfortable, can disrupt daily life. Fortunately, there are natural solutions to help you cope. Choosing the right clothing is one of them: breathable, lightweight—even cooling—fabrics can really help soothe feelings of heat, both during the day and at bedtime.
Why clothing matters during menopause
Hot flashes and night sweats are linked to hormonal changes that affect the body's temperature regulation. Clothing plays an important role in helping the body manage these episodes. Choosing appropriate clothing designed to allow air to circulate or promote heat dissipation can significantly improve your everyday comfort, whether at work, during physical activity, or while you sleep.
Adapt your clothing to the time of day
Some times of day are more sensitive than others: the end of the day, nighttime, physical exertion, etc. Wearing cotton, linen, or cooling fabrics can help limit heat spikes. These materials adapt to the body's temperature changes without suffocating it, while promoting natural temperature regulation.
Natural solutions to complement your routine
At the same time, hydration plays a key role. Drinking regularly—especially lemon water, coconut water, or cold herbal teas—helps support metabolism during menopause. Certain plants such as sage, hops, or black cohosh can also be incorporated, under medical supervision, to support hormone regulation. These are simple steps that, when combined with well-chosen clothing, can improve overall comfort.
Soothe hot flashes and improve sleep quality
The right fabric for nighttime
Night sweats can disrupt sleep and cause fatigue. Choosing lightweight, breathable nightwear or clothing designed with cooling fabric technologies can greatly improve the quality of your rest. The same principle applies to bedding: cotton or linen sheets allow air to circulate better.
Continue physical activity without discomfort
Physical activity remains beneficial during menopause, provided you stay comfortable. To do this, choose technical clothing made from breathable materials, and don't hesitate to add bandanas or cooling sleeves from G-Heat. These accessories help limit overheating during exercise and maintain your thermal comfort.
Everyday tips

During this time, paying attention to your environment can also make a difference. Plan appropriate outfits, drink water regularly, and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. If necessary, use UV-protective clothing. These are simple habits, but they can make a big difference in how you feel during hot spells.
