'I need these': Primark praised over new products for menopausal women

If there's one symptom that affects most menopausal women it's suffering from hot sweats, particularly at night time.

So it's no wonder they're all getting a bit excited about Primark's new products. The retailer has launched its own Menopause range featuring underwear, nightwear and leggings.

Photos of the items were shared in a Facebook group by shopper Toni Pedersen and attracted thousands of comments. "We're going next week, I need these," said one.

"I’m not even going through the menopause but I could do with these because I’m a sweaty mess 90% of the time," added another.

But not everyone gave the products such a warm response. Others were quick to question how effective they will be, especially in bed, where often they'd rather wear nothing at all.

"When your whole body is on fire a bit of synthetic fabric won't help, trust me," said one.

"Can't think of anything worse than clothes," said another.

Posting the images in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, Toni Pedersen said: "Not a bargain but think these may help women out. Primark doing a Menopause Range to help you cool with them hot sweats and to keep you comfortable. Think it's a great idea."

She told the Manchester Evening News : "I took the photos originally to send to my mam as she has struggled a lot. I think Primark has done a great job thinking of women who are going through it and the fabric felt great."

Primark says the products 'help regulate your body temperature throughout the night'.

Hot flushes are managed by the body temperature controlling properties that help to cool you down and warm you up when needed."

The range starts from £7 and includes a two-pack of briefs, pyjamas, a nightdress, a slip dress and leggings.
