Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes! Menopause And An All New Body Odor
by Sarah Thomas
“Menopause has been rough! Hot flashes, sweating, and also odor (which nobody told me about!) Lume is amazing, and I am free of stench! Love it!! One less thing to worry about.” AM
Hey there, lovely ladies! Let's talk about a topic that's not always the most glamorous but is definitely important - body odor changes during menopause. Consider yourself told!
As if hot flashes and mood swings weren't enough, our bodies decide to throw us a curveball and change up our natural scent. So, let's dive into what's going on and what we can do about it.
What’s Up With The Changes?
First things first - why does this happen? Well, as we age, our hormone levels decline, including estrogen and progesterone. These hormonal changes can mess with our natural scent and make us smell a bit funkier than we're used to.
On top of that, menopause can cause us to sweat more due to hot flashes and night sweats, which can add to the odor situation.
What’s A Girl To Do?
Now, I'm sure you're all wondering - what can we do about it? Thankfully, there are plenty of options.
First off, keeping up with good hygiene habits like taking regular showers (whatever regular mean to you) and using a good deodorant is a must. Lume Whole Body Deodorant is the first of its kind, giving you the option to opt out of ALL body odor. Because let’s face it, body odor doesn’t just happen in our pits. We’re talking privates, underboobs, under tummy folds, and even belly buttons.
“Since menopause, I've been plagued with a very strong vaginal odor, pretty much all the time, but especially after sex. This would last for a couple of days no matter how clean I was. It was actually causing a strain on my marriage. Lune is a game changer. It works. Simple as that.” CR
The reason Lume Whole Body Deodorant works so well is because it is pH optimized to prevent odor - it’s not just a perfumey cover up. And it was developed by an OB/GYN, so you know “safe for Whole Body” really means you can use it anywhere you want to control odor.
Another thing to keep in mind is your wardrobe choices. Opt for breathable fabrics like cotton or linen to help reduce sweating and minimize odor. Plus, they're super comfy and perfect for those hot flashes, am I right?
Now, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but certain foods can also contribute to body odor. Spicy foods, alcohol, and caffeine can all make things worse, so it might be worth experimenting with avoiding or limiting these foods if you're struggling with odor.
Could You Use Some Good News?
So, ladies, don't let menopause get you down. With a few lifestyle changes and a little help from our friends (aka Lume Whole Body Deodorant, Acidified Body Wash & Wipes), we can keep smelling fresh and feeling confident. Let's show menopause who's boss!
“Menopause is at the least unkind, but Lume has changed my life and my attitude. Take that menopause!” LM
Lastly, the news about menopause isn’t all bad. You get true freedom from PMS, periods, hormonal headaches, and worrying about preventing pregnancies. Many women feel like they have a new found freedom, sense of self, and time to focus more on their own interests and ambitions. This study even showed that women’s optimism increases to an all time high well into their 50’s.
So there are many things to celebrate as you age into your you years! Live it up - Lume’s got you covered.
