Primark releases menopause clothing range with cooling technology

Primark has released a ‘genius’ menopause clothing range with cooling technology to help battle hot sweats, and includes anti-chafing shorts.

The clothes are made entirely from recycled nylon and recycled polyester, with cooling yarn, odour and temperature control, which Primark dubbed ‘Anti-Flush technology’.  

Prices begin at £7 for anti-chafing shorts, mini and high-waist briefs, running to £12 for bralettes and camis.

The collection features 14 pieces including nightwear, shoppers can pick up matching pyjama separates and slip-on nightdresses. 

The lightweight products incorporate cooling fabric, odour and temperature control, antibacterial finish and quick dry material in a bid to help the wearer feel as comfortable as possible. 

On their website Primark say: ‘Wave goodbye to tight, irritating and stuffy nightwear and say a much-welcomed ‘hello’ to breezy, stretchy and super breathable menopause nightwear and lingerie!

‘Our plush super-soft nightwear for menopause range includes comfy pyjama sets, breezy nightdresses and stylish chemises that will lull you to sleep in no time!’  

Ann-Marie Cregan, Trading Director at Primark said: ‘We are aware of the many different challenges the menopause can present to women. 

‘As part of our overall ambition to support women through all of their life stages, and tackle everyday taboos, we recognised that specialist products weren’t accessible or affordable to everyone and we wanted to change this.

People have turned to TikTok to showcase the new range in stores and many have labelled it ‘genius’

‘This range has been two years in development and testing to ensure we created innovative and novel products designed specifically to relieve one of the most frequent symptoms associated with menopause, hot flushes.’  

The menopause occurs when periods stop due to lower hormone levels, something that usually happens between the ages of 45 and 55.  

People have turned to TikTok to try out the new range and many have labelled it ‘genius’. 

Chris Fairley, from Liverpool, took to his account @chris_fairley to showcase the clothing range with his followers.

The clip, which racked up over 102,000 views, shows off the high-waist briefs and cami tops.
