Customer Story | Menopause No Longer Brings Me Down – I Feel Great in My Own Body
“My best friends joke that if we were characters from Sex and the City, I would definitely be Samantha,” laughs the warm-hearted Virge (52). “I have a free-spirited outlook on life, but I was still afraid of getting older. I was the first among my friends to try Botox and have taken anti-aging supplements for years, but menopause – and the weight gain that came with it – also affected me.”
Menopause – An Inevitable Part of Every Woman’s Life
Menopause means a woman is no longer fertile and cannot conceive. While the end of menstruation can bring relief, the hormonal changes often create unpleasant symptoms.
“Hot flashes, bone loss, depression, mood swings, increased cholesterol, and slower metabolism are all part of it. As if monthly periods weren’t enough for women already!” says Virge.
Most women experience menopausal symptoms between the ages of 48 and 55, and they can last for 3–5 years after the final ovulation. In some cases, menopause can begin earlier, even in the 30s, or after a hysterectomy.
“I can confirm – your fifties can feel like your forties if you know how to support your body properly! The most important thing is to really listen to yourself and find what works for you.”
Weight Gain and a Slower Metabolism
Virge had always been slim, but menopause at age 50 led to noticeable weight gain.
“Honestly, it was discouraging, because my eating and exercise habits hadn’t changed. The fact that my body seemed to work against me was upsetting. Menopause raises cholesterol levels and slows down metabolism, which explains the weight gain familiar to so many women. Thankfully, I found my solution – relaxing in the infrared sauna blanket changed everything for me.”
Why the Infrared Sauna Blanket?
The infrared sauna blanket is a modern, portable “sauna wrap” you can comfortably lie down in. It works as a convenient at-home version of the classic infrared sauna.
Inside, invisible infrared light heats body cells, breaking down subcutaneous fat and flushing toxins out. Sweating in an infrared sauna blanket is three times more intense than in a traditional infrared sauna. Even at lower temperatures, tissues are deeply warmed.
In a regular sauna, sweat is 90–97% water, while in an infrared blanket it’s about 70%. That means the other 20–30% is toxins being released.
“I personally prefer infrared because of the lower heat,” Virge explains. “As I’ve gotten older, I can’t tolerate very hot saunas anymore – I get dizzy.”
Better Sleep and More Energy
Menopause can disrupt sleep quality, but sessions in the infrared sauna blanket help the body relax and fall asleep more easily.
“I’ll admit, I eat healthy, but I sometimes found myself at the fridge late at night. Now after a session in the blanket, I feel so pleasantly sleepy that after a shower I go straight to bed.”
Good sleep is key to hormone regulation, including those that control appetite. Well-rested people are far better at resisting cravings.
More Than Just Weight Loss
“The infrared sauna blanket is incredibly practical – when rolled up it fits easily in a closet or under the bed. I can even use it on the couch while watching my favorite series. The money I save on spa visits can instead be spent enjoying coffee dates with friends,” says Virge.
“But the biggest changes aren’t visible to the eye. I’ve noticed less muscle tension, more energy, and far fewer mood swings.”
