How a Pillow Saved my Life..Tales from a Menopausal young woman and her Polar Pillow


Life as a woman.. First we spend years bleeding for the sheer privilege of being able to reproduce, then we go through the agonizing pain of child birth, just to end up going through more hell for the privilege of being able to go through menopause. Do I sound like I am complaining? I am. I am only 42 years old but I have the honor of going through menopause at my age.

I don't know which symptom I enjoy the most. The weight gain around the abdomen and love handles,  the temperament of a cobra and or, the night sweats?

I would say night sweats are the worst symptom I have. Every night I rip off my clothes open the window while the snow drifts outside my window, my husband screams at me to shut the window as his lips are turning blue. I wake up with my hair plastered to my face and my pillow sopping wet. Every morning I need to shower and wash my hair to get the sweat off. I was at a breaking point.

Recently I have come across a product called Polar Pillow. This pillow literally has saved my sanity. I know it's hard to believe that a pillow could bring your life some peace, but in my case, the benefits I have received have brought me from the bowels of a hellish nightmare.


The PolarPillow absorbs the temperature of surrounding air and transfers coolness to your head



When I first received the pillow I was astounded by the weight of it. I then learned that the pillow contains 12 pounds of specialized cooling gel. It comes with a PolarPack. Place the Polar-Pack in the freezer prior to use and before bed place it inside the pillow.

The best sleep I have had in over a year, came that first night I used the Polar Pillow. I woke up refreshed and happy. My spirits were lifted. This pillow is a God send! Not only has my night sweats subsided but my depression over this symptom has been lifted. Anyone suffering from menopausal symptoms can now know there is relief out there without having to dose our bodies with medications. This pillow is great for those constantly flipping their pillow at night, pregnant woman and of course woman hitting or reaching menopause.

Polar-Pillow would like to offer one Tales from Tammylyne reader their very own Polar Pillow!!

My pillow always feels hot in the middle of the night. This sounds great!

sandy1955 said...

I would give to my daughter because for some reason, she is having night sweats. I can relate to what you are saying as I went through menopause in my 30's. Didn't find out until almost 10 years later, when just about over it but ready to lose my mind going through it. My daughter wakes up like you've said, real hot. Heck, maybe she's going through hers in her 30's now too

I cannot sleep if I am hot so a polar pillow would truly be cool and comfy and contribute to my ability to sleep. Sleeping well will contribute to my good health and help me live longer. Ergo, I must win a polar pillow or I will die young!
