Correct positioning of device was key to my success

I have tried everything imaginable to treat my hot flashes with not much luck. My hot flashes are worse when I'm sleeping, and were starting to become a quality of life issue because I was always exhausted from lack of sleep. On a good night my hot flashes wake me up 2-3 times. On a bad night they wake me up 6-8 times. On average though, I was waking up 5 or 6 times a night. I bought the Embr Wave 2 solely to use the continuous function when I am sleeping. After a week and a half of using it, and slowly increasing the intensity to 5, it had not decreased my hot flashes in the least. I was going to send it back. The instructions said to wear it about an inch above your hand, which I did. Then I got an e-mail from the company checking in to see how I was doing. There was a picture in the e-mail and I noticed that the woman in the picture was wearing the device much higher on her arm. It was more on the forearm than by the wrist. So I moved mine up another inch. After a few days I realized that I was sleeping better, and not waking up as much. After a month of use, I am no longer waking up 5+ times a night. I still sometimes wake up 2-3 times with a hot flash, so the device hasn't completely eliminated my night-time hot flashes, but it has decreased them enough that I am getting better, deeper sleep, and I feel more rested and less tired now when I get up. So my advice is that if it is not working for you, try moving it higher up on your arm (2 inches from my wrist works best for me). If I have it fully charged it easily makes it through the night on continuous mode. It is too bulky for me to wear to work, so I haven't tried it for intermittent day-time hot flashes, so can't speak to how it works for those, but I can recommend it for night-time hot flashes. The device itself is well made and heavy-duty, and the magnetic watchband holds well. Over-all I am happy with the purchase and relieved to be getting better sleep.

Disappointing
on June 2, 2022

So I had the first version of the Embr Wave and now have the Wave 2. I had high hopes that this one would perform better than the original, but for me, it does not. I will say that I am likely at the extreme end of "easily overheats" so I use the Wave mostly as a cooling device and, unfortunately, it only helps me ever so slightly. I wear it all the time and use it for cooling anytime it gets over about 74 degrees but again, the warmer it gets (and I get), the less impact the Wave has on me. I also feel that the Milanese band is too small for the Wave as it has nearly fallen off my arm several times because the too-small band just isn't strong enough to hold it if it catches on anything and when it does, the band can easily slip all the way through the clasp on the device and fall off. I also have a Milanese band on my Apple Watch, which is wider than the one on the Wave, and it works far better than the Wave's. Also, the Apple band will not pass through the end of the watch clasp and therefore will not accidentally fall off my arm if it were to catch on something and come loose.
In summation, I guess I'll just have to wait for the Embr Tidal Wave (or Embr Sleeve) with a much larger cooling area in the device for true over-heaters, like me. And, hey Embr, I expect some kind of royalties for that device's new name, when you finally release it (please release it!) ;)

I’ve read all the reviews
on May 31, 2022

I’ve read all the reviews about the Embr Wave, and I’m happy to report that it does help. How much it helps to reduce hot flashes, however, is truly an individual thing. For me, it doesn’t eliminate them like some users reported, but it definitely lessens their intensity. For that fact, it is worth the price. I can also honestly say that I have had some hot flashes come on that have gone away quickly when I’ve activated the cooling button on-the-spot. I wouldn’t say that it works like that every time, in part because I believe our hot flashes are different and are triggered by different things. Where I find the wave the most effective, is like I shared—when I feel a hot flash coming on and I activate the device. Where I find it the least effective is on sleep mode during the night. I find myself waking with each intense hot flash and when it’s on Sleep Mode, it’s often not running through its cooling cycle yet, so I have to wait. What I’ve decided to do after two weeks, is turn off sleep mode, and each time I wake from a hot flash, I activate it myself for instant cooling. (Since I’m already awake) My main feedback to the creators, however, is that I wish the cooling cycle lasted longer than a few seconds. Lastly, the app is easy to use, clear, modern, and visually appealing. It is well- thought -out because it doesn’t give too many choices and keeps the headings simple. I will be keeping this device because it has given me back some semblance of control over my body. I haven’t mentioned much about insomnia, but I believe this has helped that as well. I go back to sleep easier and haven’t been tossing and turning due to frustration over the hot flashes. So much of menopause seems to also be emotional, so anything which helps put us back in the driver’s seat lessens so much of the accumulation of frustration. I still experience hot flashes, but I can now deal with them and I’m no longer fanning myself or apologizing during a zoom meeting. For that, the Embr Wave is a Godsend.

Lesli, thanks so much for this thoughtful and thorough review! You're so right that hot flashes can often be more complicated and individual than one might think, and the Wave might not work exactly the same way for everyone. We love your approach here and hope that you find (as many others have) that your Wave will work better and better for you over time.

I think I need more time to give a review I was hoping for an instant fix and that's not the case for me.

While some people find Embr Wave perfect the first time they use it, it's not uncommon for other people to find their bodies need more time to adjust before they see full results—but they do get there! Please reach out if there's anything we can do to help!

Would like another phone consult

Would like another phone consult before I decide to keep it or not. I think it would work better for me if the cold sensation lasted longer without the pulse. Is this something that is in the works soon?
