Menopause brings changes that can affect nearly every aspect of a woman’s life, from sleep and skin health to metabolism and bladder control.
Several brands are developing products designed to address common concerns associated with perimenopause and menopause. From specialized skincare to sleep support, here are four options worth knowing about.
1. Organyc: Support for Bladder Leakage
Urinary incontinence is a common concern during menopause, when declining estrogen levels can affect the tissues and muscles supporting bladder function. Everyday activities such as laughing, sneezing, exercising or lifting groceries can sometimes result in unexpected leaks.
2. Sum of All: Skincare Designed for Menopausal Changes
Organyc’s Light Incontinence collection offers liners, pads and protective underwear made with 100% certified organic cotton. The products are designed to provide discreet, breathable protection without plastics, fragrances or dyes, making them an option for women who prefer products with fewer additives. Organyc products are available through Amazon, CVS and Wegmans.
Hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause and menopause can affect skin hydration, elasticity, collagen production, sensitivity and pigmentation. Sum of All is a hormone-conscious skincare brand created to address these changes.
Its collection includes the Replenishing Night Cream ($125), designed to improve hydration and soften the appearance of fine lines; the Energizing Day Cream ($90), which targets hydration, firmness and uneven skin tone; and the Flash Effect Eye Cream ($125), formulated to smooth the appearance of wrinkles and refresh the eye area.
The brand reports clinical testing for its products, including improvements in hydration and skin appearance.
3. MitoQ: Hormonal Metabolic Control
MitoQ’s Hormonal Metabolic Control supplement ($51.31) focuses on metabolic health during hormonal changes. Its formula features S-equol, a plant-derived compound produced from soy germ that has a molecular structure similar to estrogen. Research into S-equol has explored its potential to support certain menopause-related concerns and metabolic markers. Women considering supplements should consult a healthcare professional, particularly if they have existing conditions or take medication.
4. Sleep Only: Help for Restless Nights
Night sweats and sleep disruptions can make getting a full night’s rest difficult during menopause. Sleep Only, developed by Adaptive Sound Technologies Inc., is a mobile app offering fan sounds, white noise and ambient audio designed to create a more relaxing sleep environment.
The app offers Standard subscriptions for $2.99 monthly and Premium subscriptions for $4.99 monthly, with a 14-day risk-free trial.
Together, these products reflect a growing focus on practical solutions for women navigating midlife. While no single product addresses every menopause experience, greater awareness and access to supportive resources can help women make informed choices about their well-being.
