Our Mission
At Menopod, we're dedicated to providing innovative cooling solutions for hot flashes, heat stress, and personal wellness. Our mission is to empower individuals, no matter their stage in life, to take control of their comfort and live fully, confidently, and without interruption.
We believe everyone deserves the ability to stay cool and feel their best, wherever they are.
In the throes of perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause, over 70% face the relentless challenge of hot flashes and night sweats. Frustration lingers as available solutions prove insufficient.
Enter Menopod, a beacon of relief designed to combat hot flashes anytime, anywhere. Boasting patented technology, Menopod delivers nearly instant cooling relief, alleviating the severity of hot flashes within seconds. No more reliance on messy ice packs or intrusive hormonal treatments.
This compact device, born from the collaborative efforts of industrial designer Steve Copeland and the real-life challenges faced by Patricia Copeland, gained national attention on Dragon's Den Canada in 2014.
Since then, Menopod has evolved beyond a solution solely for hot flashes, becoming a versatile tool for anyone seeking cooling relief and personal wellness. Whether you're managing heat stress, anxiety, migraines, or simply in need of a quick cooldown during a hot day, Menopod offers comfort and convenience for everyone. Under the leadership of Jessica Tinney, Menopod is committed to empowering all individuals, regardless of age, gender, or background, to take control of their wellness with ease. Cooling relief should be accessible to all.
