My husband actually saw a commercial for this and called me into the living room to watch it. I was skeptical to say the least, but with the 60-day money back guarantee I figured it was worth a try. It arrived very quickly, and I took it out of the box, put it on, and pressed the button for cooling. I have absolutely no idea how it works, but that first burst of cold against my wrist was incredible. That was interesting, but I was still unconvinced it would actually do much for my hot flashes and for a couple of days I was thinking I would probably end up returning it. The instructions indicated that it could take a week or so to see the results ... and sure enough, after somewhere around a week or 10 days of wearing it, I started really noticing a difference. It doesn't completely stop my hot flashes in their tracks, but it absolutely makes them shorter, less intense, and less miserable. I've also become more subconsciously in tune with my body's cues, which is important because the earlier I catch the hot flashes and start the cooling waves, the better the device is able to help control them. I've only used the overnight setting a couple of times and had limited success with that, but it was within those first few days after I received it so I probably need to give it another try to really evaluate it. The only reason I have rated it as 4 stars instead of 5 is because the battery life is a little bit shorter than I would like. Having said that, it does charge very quickly. The app is easy to use, the ability to customize your settings is helpful, and the device itself is attractive enough to not feel bad about wearing it. So yes, I was not expecting all that much from this little gadget, but now that I have given it a fair shake, you can try to pry it from my cold -- or at least much cooler -- dead hands!
I am very happy with this product. It’s simple to understand, and I was able to use it right out of the box. When my head starts feeling hot, I just press the button twice for cooling. It keeps me from getting light-headed and stops my body from getting any hotter. I’ve looked at the app, but haven’t used it other than to get started.
It’s pretty amazing how it work! I would have hot flashes all day and night. They have diminished drastically. I feel better and I sleep all night. Well worth every penny. Thank you!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never thought I would find anything that would give me hot flash relief. I was wrong. Embr meets all promises and exceeds expectations.
It really works for my hot flashes, which I have had for over 20 years! I’ve been using the Wave for over a year. I’m not generally a believer in alternative health care, but this really works for me! Customer service is excellent!
