Hot flash and handy cooler: Anybody uses it for hot flashes?

Yes I use it for hot flashes and for times when you need to cool down and quickly like extreme exertions in hot weather. Make sure you don't let the sponge dry out.

Yes, besides helping to remove toxins from the body, it also helps keep hot flashes at bay. I usually drink one cup per day.

Low is pretty quiet but it gets louder on the faster settings. I use it mostly on low or medium and I get enough air flow to stop my "hot flashes". I have been using purse-sized fans for over 10 years and this type produces the most air flow for the size. There may be better ones but I haven't found them.

That's why I started taking it and my hot flashes are completely gone. So the answer is yes. I started taking 2 tablets twice a day, and am now down to 1 tablet once a day and it is keeping the hot flashes away still.

No, when you add water, following directions provided, the "pillow" acts like a bag of airtight jello. I found the item as advertised except that, for me, it was too cold. I have hot flashes and, while it definitely did cool me, it was, again, way too cold.

Depends how far you intend to push the CPU. These guys run pretty hot, and the stock cooler does a fair job under a moderate load. I went with a Rosewill cooler that was fairly cheap and pushes a lot of air, handles things decently but it's noisy. I've heard of people having really good results with Corsair's liquid coolers, which are of course a bit pricier.

I've tried liquid cooling once and though it did bring down the temps by about 8 degrees C, I did not notice an appreciable increase in performance over a good cooler like the V8. Because I was always concerned about fluid levels and leaks, I abandoned liquid cooling and went back to air.

I don't think it is for hot. It is a horribly designed ice water jug. It is cheap at Walmart.

I know what hot flashes are like - terrible. But this mattress cover doesn't have a "cooling" effect, it says cool shield because it is waterproof. Some waterproof covers are plastic and would make you sweat. I do not get a feeling that this makes you overheated - its just my feeling but I am always warm so I would know if this product made me warmer - it doesn't. I hope this helps.

Can't help on that. We've only used it for cooling. Would be interested to know if someone has experience with using the heat feature.

I have hot flashes, I have not had one at night since sleeping on this. I can't say it feels cool to the touch, but in some way your body does not feel hot while sleeping.

Yes, though it discourages temps above 125 degrees. I believe there are work arounds, but honestly 125 seems plenty hot to me. I hope that helps.

I found this product worked for nighttime hot flashes; that's all I've ever used it for...

I have hot flashes; so the Cool Therapy is better for me. And it smells better. My boyfriend who is an acupuncturist says to go with whatever your body normally prefers; heat or cold. As in, if you run hot, go with the Cold--and vice versa.

From what I've used mine for it does get fairly hot when it gets enclosed. Given the built in fan it probably would be a bad idea.

never tried it on food, but, it seems to work on cats, dogs, and water space heaters. I shoot it everywhere because I have "hot flashes" occasionally, and, well. I love the dang thing - It is fun and interesting, and does answer the question, is it hot in here, or is it just me! I do have a meat thermentor, (sp) but I suspect it will only measure the outside temp. I love the darn thing though.

This in my experience is one of the best around as long as you don't have an aluminum IHS, etc. Here's a great review of coolaboratory paste and 28others. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/thermal-paste-performance-benchmark,3616.html
