    Hi Tina, I bought two clay packs, one for my neck and one for my lower back. Put them in the freezer and they stay cold for hours. I would fall asleep on them as they are good at absorbing your heat. They have been my lifesavers for those times that I get hot flushes. Hope this helps.

    I have a clip on fan above my b3s that I can adjust so that it is on me no matter where I am at in the bed. Also, baby wipes. They are so soothing. I keep some next to my bed, next to my chair, in my car, in my purse and at my desk at work.
