Guide Review - CoolJams Lives Up To Their Name When Hot Flashes Arrive
Chemotherapy can put you into natural or medical menopause, with hot flashes and night sweats. First, your body starts to glow with heat, moving out from somewhere within you, and when it reaches your skin, you break into a sweat. This can lead to wet sleepwear and broken sleep. Cool-Jams pajamas and nightgowns are made to solve your problem with a special yarn that will pull moisture away from your skin and dry out instantly.
Anita Mahaffey founded Cool-Jams in 2006. As a ten-year brain cancer survivor, Ms. Mahaffey knows all about the side effects of treatment and is no stranger to hot flashes.
Cool-Jams wicking sleepwear claims its fabric helps thermo-regulate your body temperature. They also claim that this fabric, although 100% polyester microfiber, feels like a cross between silk and cotton, and that it will wick away moisture as you sleep.
I tested a Medium pajama set with a sleeveless top on a hot summer night. The fine-gauge knit fabric feels similar to bamboo or cotton and was cool to the touch. All the seams were serged and the shoulder seam reinforced, to keep its shape. The neckline, arm openings, and trim on the top and overshirt were nicely trimmed in white and topstitched to prevent rolling. My regular hot flashes and night sweats arrived on schedule and the Cool-Jams fabric pulled my sweat up and away from my skin. After wearing this gown for several nights, I could not detect any locker-room smell from the fabric.
The Cool-Jams pajamas delivered on its claims - it felt soft, light, and cool. This fabric feels like a natural fiber, not like polyester. It wicks moisture away very efficiently, leaving your skin feeling cool and dry. As for the claim that Cool-Jams can help thermo-regulate my body temperature, my hot flashes were milder while wearing Cool-Jams. At $69.00, a set of Cool-Jams may feel high-priced, but whenever I check their web site, I find good prices on other sets. In any case, Cool-Jams would make a good gift to yourself or to someone who is dealing with night sweats. It's a good investment in a cool night's sleep.
