I Am So Hot! Giveaway Post
Thursday January 12, 2012
Oh, yes, I am a hot mama!!!! OK, my long time readers know what I am talking about! I am talking night sweats, hot flashes & more!!!
Yes, I have written more posts on this perimenopause into menopause crap than I care to admit BUT it is inevitable for those that have not got there yet!!! For those that are there - I FEEL YOUR PAIN - well I feel your hotness! 
I have been going thru this change for 8 years or so now - I lost track cause it is a pain in the arse & many other places too! I have had every symptom multiple times over. They come & go & come & go all thru the years so just because say the night sweats disappear, that does not mean they are gone forever. AND, if your period/monthly stops for a few months, don't get all comfy & throw out "the necessities". It will come back - I guaranty you! I was almost at a year when I had some visits!!!
There is so much to write about on this subject but today I just want to share some info about some clothes you can wear to help with the night sweats & hot flashes.
I have posted before about Dry Babe - Absorbent Sleepwear for Hot Mamas. I wrote about them HERE & HERE. I had been given their Classic Absorbent Chemise. They also donate 10% of all sales to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Well, they have added new items to their line & I was lucky enough to get their Sweet Dreams Tank Top and Sweet Dreams Boy Short. I so love the feel & wear of these items! Colors are pretty too!!!! They have a whole line of items that you can check out HERE. They have also added Missy & Plus sizes for you full figured ladies!!! Wash & wear & oh so comfy & soft!!! I wear then even in times when I don't have night sweats!!!
SIZING: Me, my upper back is WIDE so I got the size medium even though I am smaller. It fits pretty loose in the lower half but for me fits fine in the upper back. I do wear a size small in the bottoms & they were a tad big for me but fine to wear around home! The top in my humble opinion is pretty enough to wear out & I DID!!!!! Heck, even the bottoms might be worn out or over, say a bathing suit or workout wear... just a thought!
Hey, I was even part of their newsletter HERE!!!
Here is some info right from their website:
The original Dry Babe chemise sleepwear is made of 100% soft, plush, cotton fabric. The "Sweet Dreams" collection is made out of woven cotton velour which is 80% cotton and 20% polyester for stretch and comfort. Other night sweat sleepwear companies tend not to use natural fabrics, using mainly 100% polyester or high polyester content blends. Science has demonstrated that polyester fabrics tend to trap heat next to the skin, making wearers feel much warmer. Cotton fabrics have been shown to aid in cooling the body.
Now clothes are not the total solution for hard core night sweats but they help!!! I have had times & weeks on end waking up to my sheets totally drenched - NO, NOT FUN to say the least! Hot flashes too - when you are out & about & get these -well, just start thinking about your explanations now because it will happen!
Don't forget that you can get tons of info over at the Shmirshky Menopause website! They have a doctors directory, tons of resources & more!!! Check it out!

No sweats for me (so far). I actually sleep in base layers about half the time.

Via a suggestion from my (female) physician who was discussing HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), which I'm totally against due to my belief that it is related to breast cancer, I have found that Solaray Phytoestrogen tablets are very helpful for symptoms, hot flashes, fatigue, etc.. I have been using them for several years.
I've checked out the website and I like the same color you like, Jody.
I've also shared the post on FB.

These are really a pretty pink color, which I love. I do tend to get overheated at night, and these could help.
