Menopause Changes

You’re Not Losing Your Mind — You’re in Menopause

Memory lapses. Brain fog. Forgetting why you walked into the room. These changes are real, and they’re common during perimenopause and menopause. While research is still evolving, one thing is clear: your brain is undergoing a hormonal recalibration — and it’s going to take time. This isn’t just in your head. It’s biological. And with the right support, it becomes manageable.

Understanding the Transition: Perimenopause to Menopause

Perimenopause is the phase before menopause, often starting in your 40s. It can last for years, bringing with it unpredictable symptoms — emotionally, physically, and hormonally.

One week, you feel fine. The next, you’re teary over an airline ad, struggling with sleep, or wondering where your libido went. Weight gain, irregular periods, mood swings — these are all signs of fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels affecting everything from your skin and energy to your hair and sex life.

Many describe this phase as not just a hormonal shift, but an identity shift. It’s real. It’s valid. And it’s often under-discussed in medical consultations.

What’s Really Going On

Menopause isn’t a moment — it’s a transition. Officially, it begins when you haven’t had a period for 12 consecutive months. But symptoms often begin well before that milestone and may continue well into the post-menopausal phase.

Changes may include:

Hot flushes and night sweats
Vaginal dryness and general skin sensitivity
Sleep disruptions and mood changes
Cognitive fog and emotional shifts
Hair thinning or texture changes

Estrogen plays a major role in skin, brain, and mucosal tissue health — and when it declines, everything can feel off. But knowledge is power. And so is support.

Let’s Talk About It: Dryness, Discomfort, and Intimacy

Vaginal dryness is one of the most common — and least talked about — symptoms of menopause. Declining estrogen levels lead to thinner, less elastic vaginal tissue. This can cause:

Painful sex (dyspareunia)
Irritation from clothing or movement
Loss of moisture and comfort

Painful sex shouldn’t be your new normal. That’s where V.supple® comes in.

V.supple® Intimate Support

Our range is designed to restore hydration and comfort — with no hormones and no compromises.

Key products:

V.supple® Balm: Soothes dryness and irritation externally.
Our hero prescription-only vaginal pessary: Offers deeper, targeted internal hydration and tissue support (available through your clinician and Eastside Compounding Pharmacy).

Formulated with microsphere hyaluronic acid, avocado oil, and vitamin E, V.supple® products support elasticity and moisture at the cellular level. Safe to use alongside prescription hormone therapy.

For healthcare professionals: Our prescription-only pessary is intended for patients with moderate to severe symptoms and is prescribed as part of a personalised care plan.

When Your Skin Changes, Your Products Should Too

Lower estrogen means less collagen, reduced hydration, and more sensitivity. Suddenly, your favourite products sting, irritate, or stop working altogether.

Our solution:

V.supple® Fresh Guard: A gentle, aluminium-free deodorant with no fragrance or irritants — ideal for reactive or post-radiation skin.

Hair That Feels… Different

Shedding, thinning, breakage — these aren’t vanity concerns. They’re common effects of hormonal shifts and recovery from stress or illness.

Support from the roots up:

V.supple® Follicure+: Stimulates hair growth and reduces scalp irritation.
V.supple® Argan Intensive: Restores shine and strength to dry or brittle hair.

Skin That Needs More

As hormone levels change, so does your skin’s hydration, firmness, and resilience.

Deep hydration, naturally:

V.supple® Radiance+: A luxurious facial oil to nourish, firm, and brighten.
V.supple® Nourish: A body oil rich in botanical support for dry, sensitive, or healing skin.

Our formulas are light in feel but powerful in action.
