I'm SO Glad I Tried It!
on April 24, 2023
Posted by: Stephanie R.

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!

I’ve read all the reviews
on May 31, 2022
Posted by: Lesli T.

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.

OMG! I LOVE MY WAVE2

OMG! Relief very quick. I love my wave2 and suffer when I have to wait for charging. It's a scoach bulky but what it does I'll get used to it, no problem. So glad someone finally thought to help us power surge gals. It gets unbearable at times. Now, I got this!:blush:

Finish rubbing off
on November 17, 2022
Posted by: Heidi T.

I have had my Wave2 for a week. I wear it all day at work for stress and menopause. Since you wear it on the inside of you wrist/arm it rubs on the counter at work and is rubbing off. Would be nice to have some kind of protective bumper for it or make one in stainless steel

Heidi, you're in luck! We just launched the Embr Wave Comfort Case, and it sounds like it's exactly what you were asking for. Check your email for a message from our support team!

I wanted to give it
on April 27, 2022
Posted by: Geri K.
from US
I wanted to give it some time to get used to using it before I left a review. Now that I know which settings work for me, I LOVE IT!! I will not use hormones to control the hot flashes I have had for the last 15yrs for health reasons. The Ember Wave has been a life saver for me! It stops my hot flashes before they get uncomfortable! It is a true game changer for me and well worth every penny! A++

Correct positioning of device was key to my success
on June 3, 2022
Posted by: Lisa N.

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.

So far I have not

So far I have not noticed any difference in the cooling ability. Maybe I have not given it enough time, but I am disappointed in the product.
Response from embrwave.comBy April 29, 2022
Elizabeth, we’re so sorry to hear things have gotten off to a slow start with your Wave. Everyone is different, and over the years we’ve heard from quite a few users who said it took some time before things started to click and they felt the full effectiveness of the Wave (and that it then worked better and better the longer they used it). We hope that will be the case for you too, so you can get the relief you need. But definitely let us know if there’s anything we can do to help you have a better experience!
