Hot Flashes; Are you Burning Up with Menopause ?

I saw a motivational sign earlier today that read, I’m still hot. It just comes in flashes. This simple, funny statement is so true for women who are sloshing through the ridiculous stages of menopause. For women who are just beginning to feel the slight flushes of heat from incessant hot flashes, you are probably yearning for some relief, hoping to smolder the fire before it becomes uncontrollable. Well, the summer season means there are an abundance of artificial devices available to help you do just that.
Home improvement stores, department stores, late night infomercials; they all have a variety of fans available for every budget. Let me share a few that I found online that might be worth investigating a little more.

Compact Fans Are Cheap And Effective

Are you looking for a small fan with a small price tag? Try the Vornado Zippi. Small fans are valuable to owners because they can be used anywhere; at home, the office and even while traveling. A small fan is not cumbersome and can be very mobile. This particular fan runs quietly, is available in a variety of colors and is collapsible, making it a breeze to take on the go. Yes, that pun was intended.
Sometimes a small fan just will not cool you down and you need to go bigger or go home. If you are looking for a floor fan, try the Vornado 270(v102) Panel Circulator. This fan is dual-purposed which may make its’ $99.00 price tag a little less nauseating. The large amount of air that this particular model circulates assists your air conditioning in cooling more efficiently, but in the winter it can circulate your heat more efficiently, too. The largest drawback of this fan in the price tag and lack of mobility, but if you want a powerful floor fan you can try this model. It is sold on QVC.com.

Advancements In Window Fans

Many consumers are fans of window fans, but this next fan I am going to tell you about is a lot more advanced than those cheap box fans found at discount stores. The Lasko 2155A is a reversible window fan. Simply stated, it pulls cool air in while kicking hot air outside where it belongs. Some of these models can be fairly loud, but Consumer Search.com promises that this particular window fan is quieter than most. It’s not too pricey, either. Amazon.com is one site that sells this model with a price tag hovering right around $70.00.

One negative about using a window fan is bugs. While the fan does fit snuggly in the window frame, pesky bugs do have a way of sneaking in. Being cool may not be worth the price of flies buzzing around your food at dinner. You could eat outside if you want a fly infested meal. I’m just saying. . .

So, here is my question to you. What method do you use to cool down from hot flashes? Do fans help? What is your favorite brand? Fellow readers want to know your picks for the coolest fans around. Let us know!
