how does v-qool work?

V-qool is a patented and novel device, invented by 3 women doctors to help manage uncomfortable and disruptive hot flashes and night sweats related to menopause. V-qool is a simple noninvasive, non-hormonal, sleek and discreet device. It contains a hydrogel that works through evaporation to give an immediate cooling sensation on contact. V-qool takes advantage of the super sensitive intimate skin and clitoris, known for it’s rich blood supply and dense nerve supply. V-qool does not alter skin temperature. V-qool does not require refrigeration. Store in a dark sealed jar or foil pouch in a cool dry place.

how is v-qool placed?

V-qool is worn discreetly on the vulva. Peel off the blue film. Place the v-qool gel side down on the panty crotch. The device will stick to the panty and rest on the vulva. There is no adhesive. The polyurethane backing will rest comfortably on the vulva skin. Comfy and cool!

Note: unlike a typical pantyliner, v-qool does not cover the vagina, urethra or anal openings. It is placed in the panty to abut the vulva mirroring the clitoris anatomy. The unique inverted heart shaped v-qool device sits snuggly and naturally on the top portion of vulva. It is intended to rest on the mons pubis (fleshy prominence on top of the pubic bone), the labia (the outer and inner lips) and clitoris ( super sensitive and highly vascular). V-qool should not cover the urethra or vagina and is not intended to absorb urine, menstrual blood or vaginal secretions. It is not meant for insertion or ingestion. V-qool is for external use only. V-qool should not be flushed.  

when to use v-qool?

Hot flashes can occur occasionally or constantly, day or night, random or provoked. The beauty of v-qool is that it can be used both on demand during a hot flash and/or in anticipation of such. Many women are well aware of typical times of day or common triggers for hot flashes. V-qool can be helpful if placed at night prior to sleep when night sweats are disruptive. V-qool can be easily and quickly placed in the middle of the night if awakening occurs due to flashes and perspiration. V-qool can be worn for several hours and replaced as often as needed. V-qool is disposable and does not require refrigeration; it is best stored in its sealed jar or foil pouch in a cool dry place.

what is v-qool made of?

V-qool is a patented device composed of a hydrogel (95% water ) sandwiched in polyurethane. The thicker blue polyurethane film is peeled off prior to use. The thinner clear polyurethane remains to maintain the shape and rigidity of gel. The polymer contains mostly water and contains no preservatives, glycerin, parabens or fragrance. The gel can be directly affixed to the panty or for more intense cooling, the gel can be placed directly on the skin. The gel can be placed safely and comfortably on hair covered skin. Removal is painless and simple; just peel from one spot for removal. V-qool contains no latex.

V-qool was found to be soothing after grooming and hair removal. This was a surprise benefit we found during testing. Who knew? For best result, place v-qool gel side directly on skin after shaving, waxing or other hair removal.

V-qool can be placed in the cleavage, back of the neck and really anywhere skin is accessible... a helpful hint for those who need to cool down pronto without appropriate panty access.

what is menopause?

Menopause is defined as twelve consecutive months without a menstrual period and no other known cause. At this time ovarian function diminishes and estrogen levels drop. The average age of menopause in the US is 51 years old. Upwards of 70% of menopausal women experience hot flashes and night sweats due to menopause.  Many women remain untreated and uncomfortable. Why suffer?

what are hot flashes and how long will they last?

Although, the exact cause of hot flashes and night sweats are not fully understood, a specific area of the brain, the thermoregulatory zone is likely to blame. This is essentially the body’s thermostat.   The average duration for hot flashes is 7.4 years with some suffering upwards of 15 years. Many women will also experience symptoms during the peri-menopausal years, the 4-8 (approximate) years preceding menopause.  Many experience disruptive hot flashes and night sweats many years after their last menstrual period.
