About Shop The Pause

Shop The Pause makes funny gifts and apparel for women in perimenopause and menopause. Think sipper glasses for hot flashes, tees for brain fog days, mugs for the mornings that need extra coffee, and candles for the woman who still glows.

Who We Are

Shop The Pause is an online shop based in the United States, created by a woman in her 40s who is living this chapter herself. Like a lot of women, she spent months calling it "just tired" before she realized it was perimenopause. What she found was plenty of serious information and very little that made her laugh. So she started making it.

Everything we make is for the beautifully messy, wildly unpredictable season of perimenopause and menopause, where hot flashes, plot twists and newfound confidence can all show up at once. We celebrate this chapter with humor, honesty and a whole lot of attitude.

What We Make

• 16oz glass sipper cans with bamboo lids and straws, for keeping something cold within reach.
• Tees and sweatshirts with relatable midlife humor, like Phases of the Pause and Another Fine Day to Lose My Cool.
• Mugs, candles, hats and aprons that make great gifts.
• A free 7-day symptom tracker to help you spot your patterns and talk with your healthcare provider.

Who It's For

Women 40 and up navigating perimenopause and menopause, and the people who love them. Many of our customers are shopping for themselves. Just as many are buying a gift for a mom, sister, best friend or coworker who needs a laugh and a reminder that she's not alone.
