26 of the Best Menopause Products to Get You Through Hot Flashes

Hot flashes, unexpected leaking, hot flashes, mood swings—did we mention the hot flashes? Menopause is so darn fun. Sarcasm aside, going through "the change" can really wreak havoc on both your body and mind.

Typically, many women start to experience a natural decline in reproductive hormones when they're in their 40s or 50s. The North American Menopause Society states that the average age of the menopause begins at 52, but the age of natural menopause can vary widely from 40 to 58 years.

Whenever you do go through the menopause, your hormones change pretty drastically. That means that, unfortunately, most of these menopausal symptoms are unavoidable. And it's certainly no walk in the park, but there are things you can do to mitigate jut how bad these symptoms wallop you.

With that in mind (and with the goal of always making your life easier!), the Oprah Daily team looked high and low for products that will alleviate the most unbearable side effects of menopause. From gadgets that cool, to underwear that protects you from leaks to dresses that will flatter a potentially changing body, everything you could possibly think of to help you during this transitional stage of life is here.
