About Us

Our Story

I started METpause because of a problem people don't talk about enough. Waking up at 3am, soaked through, having to change your nightclothes, then lying awake for the rest of the night because insomnia had already kicked in.

Night sweats and hot flushes aren't just a small part of menopause. For a lot of us, they're the reason we lose the most sleep, patience, and good mornings. I looked for nightwear that actually understood that, and I couldn't find it. Everything felt too clinical, too plain, or simply wasn't made with a hot, restless night in mind.

We didn't design this from a distance, we designed it from experience. From nights spent wide awake, frustrated, and searching for something that would actually help. We understand the exhaustion, the discomfort, and the quiet toll it takes, because we've lived it too.

So I decided to make it myself. METpause was created to fill that gap, nightwear designed specifically for women going through menopause, perimenopause, and the hot, restless nights that come with them.

Why Bamboo

Every piece we make uses soft, breathable bamboo fabric, chosen because of what it actually does, not just because it feels nice. Bamboo naturally helps regulate temperature, draws moisture away from the skin, and is gentle even if your skin is sensitive. That means it keeps you cooler and drier through the night instead of trapping heat and moisture against you. It's also naturally resistant to odour, so you're not left reaching for a fresh set in the middle of the night.

No more soaked nightclothes. Just fabric that works with you instead of against you.

Made in the UK

Every METpause piece is made right here in the UK. That's a decision we make on purpose. It means shorter supply chains, closer quality control, and support for UK manufacturing instead of choosing the cheapest option elsewhere. Our fabric is also Oeko Tex Standard 100 certified, meaning it's been tested for harmful substances, so you know what's touching your skin at night has been properly checked.

Real Women, Real Nights

We didn't build this alone. METpause comes from real experience, our own, and from the women who've told us honestly what keeps them up at night.

Charlotte told us these bamboo pyjamas truly changed her nights, after years of waking up drenched and uncomfortable. L Thomas said she didn't expect much, but was amazed by the difference they made, sleeping better, feeling better, and grateful she gave them a try.

That's what we want every piece we make to do. Not just feel comfortable, but actually make a difference.

What We're Building

METpause is still small, and that's on purpose. We'd rather get the important things right, the fabric, the fit, the care instructions, how it feels to shop with us, than grow quickly and lose sight of who we're making this for. Every review, every message, every exchange tells us something, and we're paying attention.

If you're one of the many women lying awake at 3am wondering if it's just you, it isn't. We built this for exactly that night.
