MenoVest™ is the world’s only menopause simulator, allowing people to experience disruptive physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms, associated with menopause.

This outerwear garment delivers intense hot flushes (as well as triggering brain fog, palpitations, headaches, anxiety and a loss of confidence) and is designed to be worn whilst performing typical work duties.

In just a few minutes, wearers can appreciate the impact symptoms can have for some, and the need to better support those colleagues transitioning through menopause.
