  • Megan I'm going to share mine that I stumbled on as part of a joke but oh my word it works.  A cold tip top or cold drink can in the cleavage during hot weather works wonders. Please feel free to reRoflve if its too naughty. Rofl

  • Hi granny59, having been on prostate cancer treatment and have a cleavage now i might try that.

    If I'm only going out for a short time i dip a t-shirt in cold water, wring most of the water out and it's good for 30 minutes.

  • One tip I was told about, but didn't believe, is to put your hands and wrists in running cold water for a minute or two. It really does help you to feel cool all over!

    I also have a very small hand-held fan, which will re-charge using your laptop/tablet/phone charger. It was only a few pounds online. It is great for cooling your face! And fits in a pocket or handbag. I use it mainly when I get hot flushes.

  • I keep a hot water bottle in the freezer for bedtime. My daughter uses the cooling mats you get for dogs!!
