Someone at work today told me she doesn't use HRT, but instead uses something called LadyCare - never heard of it - googled it, seems to be magnet based and worn I your undies!  Anyone heard of this or tried it? I find it hard to believe that it does anything but my work colleague swears by it!  Always open to alternatives etc, and intrigued to see what others think? Another gimmick?

We have responses to this product on here somewhere, if you do a 'search'

Do a search on here, but gather it's best to save your money. I asked my GP and was told not to mess with magnets.

[CJ-sleepless]

I did try a search before I posted but couldn't find anything. Just searched again without the capital c in the middle and found previous posts....

I'm not a believer so not tempted myself, was just interested

Noooooo! We've had several ( er somewhat barmy!) magnet discussions CJ-sleepless - one very recently - so if you've found them that's great 

I'm not a believer so not tempted myself, was just interested

Haha! Belief is the thing with this... and Science and belief are mutually exclusive!

I'll say no more but wish you all the best ( not with this product though  )

Nowt wrong with the placebo effect 

What did you hope to improve if you treated yourself to one?

[CJ-sleepless]

Personally there's no symptom I'm suffering from that the drugs aren't treating lol.  The interest arose when a colleague at work mentioned she had one, and another colleague was interested as she can't take HRT (no idea why I didn't ask).  I figured that if this magnet was THAT good, everyone would know about it and there would be no need for HRT - this was my argument in the office..... you can picture how the discussion went I'm sure...

well, i'm one of the mad ones who believe it works!

Ladycare use does prevent hot flushes and night sweats but nothing else. I have worn mine for 3 years now . Maybe does not work for everybody.

[babyjane]

I just can't imagine having a magnet in my knickers for 3 years!  The mind boggles 

[littleminnie]

Especially in bed.

[dulciana]

I used ladycare while I needed to (it stopped my night sweats completely), and solved the night-time knicker problem with micropore tape..........just taped it to  my tum!  (Nice and cool in the summer!)

Placebo can be powerful, the whole homeopathy industry is built on it (imo, but I work in pharmaceutical regulation, so I would say that).
Spend your money on yoga instead.

Okay - but my night sweats stopped completely while I used it (at least two years) and I would have been asleep most of the time, so unable to be "placebo-ish" about it!
