According to a paper listed on the National Library of Medicine website, “over 80% of women experience hot flushes during menopause. Hot flashes are defined by transient sensations of heat, sweating, flushing, anxiety, and chills lasting for 1–5 min. Hot flushes can cause considerable distress especially when severe and frequent. The same review states that the period a woman can experience hot flushes could be between 4-7 years. One study showed that 8% of women continue to experience hot flushes even after 10 years of menopause.” 

Navigating menopause can be a challenging journey for many women, particularly because of the overwhelming effects of hot flushes and excessive sweating. As the body undergoes significant hormonal changes, these symptoms can affect both comfort and confidence. However, with the right treatment, these challenges can be managed effectively. At Sweat Guard^®, we offer a range of products specifically designed to support women to manage the excessive sweating they may experience during perimenopause and menopause. Helping them to regain control of their daily lives and feel empowered once again.

The Impact of Menopause on Sweating

Women experience hot flushes as their oestrogen levels drop, causing the brain to misinterpret body temperature, triggering sweat production, according to the British Menopause Society. This response can lead to uncomfortable situations at work, during social interactions, or gym.

For some women, this excessive sweating can feel uncontrollable. It can cause visible patches on clothes, make skin feel clammy, and contribute to embarrassing body odour. The emotional impact is equally significant, with many women reporting lower self-confidence and social anxiety, according to the NHS inform website. Treatment for menopausal symptoms is personal and dynamic but Sweat Guard^® can assist in the relief of excessive sweating and body odour. 

Effective Solutions for Menopausal Sweating

Sweat Guard^® has developed a suite of products to target excessive sweating in areas like the underarms, chest, face, neck and head areas of the body often associated with menopausal sweating. 

Sweat Guard^® Meno Antiperspirant

Our specialised Meno Antiperspirant 50l roll-on is formulated to provide maximum sweat protection. Unlike ordinary antiperspirants, this formulation offers clinical strength sweat control, helping to reduce excessive perspiration and prevent visible wet patches, particularly under the arms. Our formula works by forming a temporary block in the sweat glands, reducing sweat production dramatically, especially if our guidelines for use are followed. Apply our Meno Antiperspirant twice a day to clean dry skin.

Many women find that by using this product, they can navigate their day with confidence, whether it’s heading to an important meeting or enjoying a peaceful night’s sleep without the discomfort of night sweats. Sarah recently shared her thoughts on Trustpilot, “Have had hideous sweaty armpits for years and am now battling with menopause so am just sweaty all the time. Have only just started using this product, and it’s working. I can wear what I want and it doesn’t irritate my skin. Normally these types of products wake me up with itchy armpits but this doesn’t!”

Sweat Guard^® Sweat Pads for Extra Protection

For additional reassurance, Sweat Guard^® Sweat Pads provide a discreet solution for managing excessive sweating and preventing unsightly sweat patches. For those dealing with underarm sweat, our Triple Absorb Sweat Pads are ideal. They adhere comfortably to your clothing, absorbing up to three times a standard sweat pad, giving you peace of mind throughout the day. 

Tracey shared her thoughts about our sweat pads, “these are excellent. I have used many types of sweat pads and these are by far the best, from their softness, ability to stick to clothing but without marking, to size, to discreteness (as they are soft they easily bend to the shape of your clothing whereas other pads are rigid and stick out. I would definitely buy again (and have) and would recommend to others over all other pads I have tried”.

Butterfly Breast Sweat Pads

Menopause often increases sweating around the chest and breast area, which can be uncomfortable, especially when wearing fitted clothing. Our Butterfly Breast Sweat Pads sit discreetly between the breasts, absorbing moisture and preventing irritation. They are an excellent solution for women who experience sweat accumulation under the bust, often a problem during hot flushes. 

Don’t take our word for it, Cindy raves about them, “the butterfly breast pads are fantastic, so easy to use, comfy and absorbent. I would definitely recommend these for use all day, at work or the gym, walking, literally for any type of exercise or daily routine”.

Sweat Guard^® Spray for Targeted Protection

Our Sweat Guard^® Spray is a perfect solution for those awkward visible areas like the face, neck, chest and head. This compact, portable spray delivers instant sweat protection wherever you need it most. Whether applied to the hands, underarms, or feet, this formula dries quickly and leaves no residue, allowing you to feel fresh and dry throughout the day. It is so easy to use and can be applied under moisturiser and makeup. 

Lucy shared her feedback with us, “oh my goodness how have I not found this before? Read the reviews and thought right it has to help my extreme sweating, and it really does exactly that. Bonus is it actually dries quicker than normal antiperspirant and it’s helped massively. So so so pleased, also it doesn’t burn the skin”.

Complementary Products for Daily Freshness

Sweating during menopause can be accompanied by increased body odour, which can exacerbate feelings of discomfort. Sweat Guard^® offers a range of additional hygiene products that complement our antiperspirants to ensure all-day freshness.

Sweat Guard^® Deodorant Body Wash

Our Deodorant Body Wash is a dual-action cleanser that not only removes impurities but also actively combats body odour. Infused with antibacterial properties, it helps to prevent the growth of bacteria that cause sweat odour, leaving your skin feeling fresh after every wash. Tina shared her feedback about our Meno Antiperspirant and Deodorant Body Wash being a dream combination. “These products are amazing, I only wish I’d found it earlier. Going through the menopause I sweat terribly. I brought the body wash and the roll on and they work amazing together. I’ll definitely be a returning customer.”

Natural Antibacterial Deodorant Soap

Our Natural Antibacterial Deodorant Soap is made with gentle, natural ingredients like shea butter, lemongrass oil, lavender oil and peppermint oil. It cleanses the skin while preventing bacteria from building up, which is crucial for keeping body odour under control throughout the day. The soothing properties of this soap also help calm irritated skin.
