Women are swearing by these menopause patches they say ‘stops night sweats and eliminates hot flushes’. Those going through menopause suffer from a range of different symptoms, with it typically starting with a disruption to periods before transforming into hot flushes, mental health problems, and sleeping issues.
Your first port of call should be talking to your GP or nurse if you are experiencing symptoms of perimenopause or menopause, who can prescribe you medical treatments like hormone replacement therapy (HRT). However, many women are flocking to natural remedies like Kloris’ menopause patches to help alleviate the symptoms, which are currently 10 per cent off.
The translucent patches are discreet, can be worn daily to help ease symptoms and can be use alongside HRT. London-based brand Kloris use 100 per cent natural ingredients in their patches and are vegan and cruelty free. Each pack has 30 patches inside and are waterproof and hypoallergenic.

The patches normally sell for £30 on Kloris and Amazon, but the brand are offering a 10 per cent discount with code MENO10 at checkout on their website. This brings the price down to £27.
The natural ingredients include: gotu kola, damiana, black cohosh, valerian, blue skullcap, common oat and ginger. Many of these have been used in medicine throughout history and studies are indicating their effectiveness in treatment for symptoms of the menopause.
Gotu kola is a traditional treatment for menopause and has been used to help with hot flushes, anxiety and joint pain. An animal study testing gotu kola found that it can increase the vaginal wall thickness for those on the menopause – pain during sex is a common complaint for menopausal women. Another found the triterpenoids inside gotu kola help in repairing tissue damage.
Ginger, damiana and black cohosh have been used to treat menopausal symptoms for centuries. A 2021 study found these ingredients will help with neurodegeneration and memory loss during the menopause. Another study found Black cohosh, in particular, is useful for targeting hot flushes when compared to placebos.
The patches are very well reviewed by shoppers as well, gaining a 4.52 out of 131 reviews on Kloris and 4.1 from 19 reviews on Amazon. One happy shopper said: “These have been a game changer for me as I go through the menopause. They’ve helped with joint pain and sleep issues and I really notice the difference if I forget a patch for a day.”
Another added: “I’ve used these menopause patches for a few months now. Hot flashes have almost gone. I stopped taking them for a week twice and they instantly came back.”
A third remarked: “I was desperate for something to help with my menopause symptoms that were getting out of control. My partner was desperate too, I was moody, tired, hot one minute cold the next and awake most of the night due to night sweats. I can’t have HRT due to breast issues so needed herbal treatments. I came across this when I was recommend from a friend at college who also suffered bad so decided to give them ago, I really expected nothing but I was really shocked. After 2 days and 2 patches I slept peacefully through the night and the hot flushes were drastically reduced I was shocked. I have been taking these now for nearly 3 weeks and I feel human again. My hot flushes are one day I am sleeping so well and moods have lifted . I recommend these to anyone who is suffering please try and see for yourself, I will not be without these now and really good to know all herbal goodness and no chemicals.”
A less pleased shopper wrote: “I was hoping this product would help me with symptoms of menopause. Unfortunately the patch made me feel unwell, so I stopped using them.” Another added: “To be honest, I had hoped for more. Still feeling teary and anxious (more so than usual). Perhaps require a longer use time period, but I will not be purchasing again.”
