Our Story

I’m Sandy, the creator of HappyPause, I would like to tell you about us.

Bringing our story of HappyPause Menopause Balm to you brings me immense joy. 

HappyPause is not about making menopause disappear, it is about easing vaginal dryness to help us get our groove back.  My hope is that HappyPause proves beneficial to you, too.

I never realised how significantly trouble in our never discussed nether regions could impact our self-confidence & ability to take on the world until I had a horrific allergic reaction to a chemically laden vaginal dryness treatment.

Vaginal atrophication and vaginal dryness are a real thing for millions of us as we navigate menopause and our post-menopausal years.  And we often don’t want to speak about it.

Sometimes the discomfort can be a mild irritating feeling when your skin rubs together; other times it can feel like sand paper grating.  You might only feel occasional discomfort at the start of intercourse or battle recurring UTIs.  Vaginal dryness impacts each of us in different ways.

For me, my first awareness was during peri-menopause when suddenly even 100% organic cotton tampons caused discomfort that wouldn’t abate.

Numbing vaginal itch wipes mask the problem, but when the treatment wears off itching returns with a vengeance even more severe due to skin irritation heightened by harsh ingredients.  And we all know that once we give in and scratch, no matter how good it feels at the start, the vicious cycle of infection begins.

I was prescribed a moisturizing pessary insert.  Holy dooley~ my intimates exploded with rage.  And the worst was it took days to fully dissolve.

Other treatments felt gross and sticky, which made me feel undesirable & irritable.

I knew there had to be a more natural solution out there for those of us with sensitive skin even if I couldn’t find it on the shelves of the local pharmacy.

Two years down the track, HappyPause is the result.  It is gentle and eases discomfort.  The blend of the really good stuff, ie ethically sourced Direct Micro Expelled hand pressed coconut oil, with additional plant derived natural ingredients to seal in moisture mean your intimates are soothed with no preservatives or nasties.

HappyPause has a lasting effect with no icky residue. 

For me personally, I feel sexy again & back to my happy self.  And that happy self is the self we all want to embrace the most during menopause and beyond.  Finding a solution to ease the intimate itch that tagged along with menopause was the break I needed to confidently shout “I’ve got this!” to the rest of my menopausal woes.

Menopause is different for each of us.  I hope HappyPause provides you relief from vaginal dryness and becomes an integral component of how you manage your own menopause journey and the years beyond.

Happy Vibes from the creator of HappyPause.
