The best thing since sliced bread.

I did not believe my niece when she said this worked. I finally financed one and was convinced I'd send it back. BUT let me tell you, I am in love. I have been in menopause for many years. Waking in a puddle was the norm. Doesn't happen any more. I turn this on all night cool and I'm sleeping 5-6 hours at a time. Unheard of! Don't hesitate. Buy it. Buy 2. Keep one charged so you're never without 1. This is a miracle. My niece says it has tiny voodoo preistesses inside it. She isn't wrong. I'll never be without it again.

Something To Keep In Mind
on June 16, 2022

I’ll be the odd one out of the bunch. This device was recommended by my psychiatrist for ptsd attacks. She recommended this because she’s seen a few of her own patients use the Embr temperatures “bring them back” to reality and to snap out of it. I was sent the try out for free however I will be sending it back. First off the device does indeed get nicely cool and hot. For comparison I would compare the cold to an ice cube and the hot to something more of a hot shower. The biggest down for me is that you only feel cold on your arm. It’s advertised that it’s to be put on your arm in a place that the heat or cold will cause your body temperature to either go up or go down, I have felt neither. I think it’s important to note that this is waves of temperature. It will go from cold to neutral (as a pattern) or hot to neutral. It’s never a continuing feeling of cold or hot which I don’t find to be effective. If there was an option to not make it go in waves I think that it might work more efficiently but this isn’t the device for me. I couldn’t see how waves of cold could knock me out of an attack and it helping my stress. I’ve been actually more stressed from not getting relief from this product. Maybe they will improve it in the near future but as of now I cannot recommend.

Kate, thanks for sharing this feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the Wave didn’t help you feel calmer. Embr Wave cools or warms in, well, waves since our bodies respond more strongly to changes in temperature vs. steady temperature—think of how quickly a cold pool stops feeling cold after you’ve been in it for a minute or two. Cooling or warming in a pattern keeps your body from acclimating to the sensation over the course of a session, so you can get more effective relief that lasts longer. We know that temperature is personal, though, and what feels really good for one person might not feel as good for someone else. If you didn’t feel the Wave was helpful for your PTSD, we hope that you’re able to find something that works better for what you need!

Disappointment

Didn’t live up to the description. I really wanted this to work, but just didn’t cool enough to make a difference. I returned it. (Bet you don’t post this.)

Life changer!

The Wave 2 has helped me with heat intolerance issues due to my many neurological conditions. I wear it to walk, sleep, and handle any temperature issues. It is amazing! I can walk in warmer temperatures than I used to be able to! Sleep quality is better as well. It is a life changer! Thanks so much, Embr Labs!

The Wave has helped me so much with the hot flashes and night sweats. Thank you for making a device to help with hot flashes without it being a medical drug. This Wave works!!! I actually purchased 2 Waves so I have one in my car incase I leave it at home. I bought one for my Sister In Law as she went through cancer treatments and it has helped her with that as well!

In love with my Wave2!

I am fighting breast cancer and part of the treatment is suppressing estrogen in my body, so hot flashes were killing me slowly and not letting me sleep…until I got my Wave2. Since first night, I woke up 5 times, press the bottom 5 times and fell asleep each time right away! I feel like I have my life back.

I'm SO Glad I Tried It!
on April 24, 2023

For about 3 years, I've struggled with hot flashes that have increased in frequency and severity over the past few months. As a result of this, I've taken to carrying a hand fan with me everywhere I go. Literally, EVERWHERE! I have one at my bedside, there's one in the glove box of my car, in my work bag, at my desk at work, and even in purses that I don't regularly carry. Those who share my struggle might agree that it's highly embarrassing to be seen always fanning yourself, even when outdoors. At night. Even, though it's 50 degrees out!!
I didn't want to take medication for the condition, but the increasing torment was getting to be too much to bear. I watched the Embr Wave TV ads circulate with skepticism; I didn't believe that it could work. In fact, I decided to give the device a try just so I could write a spicy review about how it's a fraud. However, after just 3 days of use, I'm happy to report that IT WORKS! Don't get this unit expecting to see your hot flashes disappear altogether -- they probably won't. However, I discovered that if I hit that little button as soon as I feel one coming on -- and we all know that feeling -- the EFFECTS were greatly minimized, and each episode LESS intense. What used to be a 3 - 5 minute 'sweat feast,' is now just a 1 minute spell of mild perspiration! This, I can live with! Also, I sleep longer and a bit more soundly, because I'm not waking up in 30-minute intervals just to kick off the bed covers! The flashes are much more manageable and I feel almost like my old self. I'm so grateful for this delightful little hunk of technology!

Cooling is usable. Warming is completely unusable.

I have super tiny wrists the size of a large 5th grader. I have to pull the band on the Wave almost completely closed. (No big deal.) But the cooling on the Wave is just TOO dang cold. At the temp it defaults to, it feels like my wrist is burning after the first round. Because of that, I generally flip it to the other side of my wrist and slide it down 2-3 inches to the part of my arm that's the size of a normal person's wrist. After turning down the temp, it's bearable.
As for the heating function, FUHGEDDABOUDIT. Heating is basically Burn Level High, Burn Level High-Med, and Burn Level High-Low.
I'm still deciding if I want to keep this or send it back. It kind of works and there's nothing else on the market to replace it with. At the same time, the user experience is very suboptimal for me.

Taryn, thanks for sharing your thoughts! We know that people experience temperature differently, and what feels “way too cold!” for one person might be “nowhere near cold enough!” for someone else. The good news is that you can adjust the temp level any time, using the buttons on your Wave: press the dotted button to make things cooler or the blank button to make things warmer. You can also edit and save sessions to start at your preferred intensity level, and then you can assign your edited sessions to your Wave’s buttons so they’ll always start at a temp level that’s just right for you. Access the Edit, Save, and Preset functions by tapping the three dots in the upper right corner of any session card under Last Used in the app!
