More comfort. More room for closeness.

In an eight-week double-blind trial of 60 postmenopausal women aged 50 to 70, Female Sexual Function Index scores in the chasteberry group rose from 19.0 to 24.1. The domains that moved most were desire, lubrication, and comfort during sex.

  • Chasteberry Fruit Extract

    In an eight-week double-blind trial of 60 postmenopausal women aged 50 to 70, sexual function index scores in the chasteberry group went from 19.0 to 24.1, with the clearest gains in desire, lubrication, and comfort during sex.

  • Soy Isoflavones

    In a 16-week randomized trial of 60 postmenopausal women, a soy supplement carrying 90 mg of isoflavones significantly improved vaginal dryness. Urinary and sexual symptom scores did not change.

    “I'm 51 and teach high school, so having sudden intense heat waves in the middle of lecturing was embarrassing. A colleague suggested trying capsules with chasteberry and black cohosh. I was skeptical, but Pausive really delivered. After almost a month of daily use, those sudden spikes are way down and I can actually get through a 40-minute period without turning beet red.”

    “Flashes at work were so annoying. After 3 weeks of daily use, my hot flashes went from 8 a day down to maybe 1.”

  • Carolyn B.

    “Before Pausive, sleep was a battlefield. I'd fall asleep fine at 10 PM, then wake up at 2 AM sweating, toss around until 4 AM, and then my alarm would ring at 6 AM. It was brutal for my health. It took about two full weeks on these capsules, but now I stay asleep through the night. Waking up actually refreshed feels surreal.”

    “I brought the Pausive bottle to my annual gynecologist appointment because I wanted her input before starting anything new. She looked at the label and liked the combination of red clover, chasteberry, and sage leaf alongside black cohosh. Having her green light made me feel so much safer starting this routine.”

    “I was snapping at my kids and my husband over the smallest things, which isn't who I am at all. Perimenopause mood swings were hitting me hard. After about 2.5 weeks on Pausive, I noticed I'm not on edge all day long. My family even commented that I seem much more patient again. It just feels like I got my emotional buffer back.”

    “Hot flashes went from like 10 a day to maybe 2 very light ones. Super happy with these results!”

  • Debra T.

    “I specifically searched for a supplement with sage leaf and red clover because my nutritionist mentioned them for night sweats. Pausive combined both along with black cohosh, which saved me from taking 3 different bottles. I used to wake up soaking wet at 3 AM. Now I actually stay dry all night long.”

    “I was literally putting a towel over my sheets every night. About 2 weeks into taking Pausive supplement those awful night sweats chilled out. My bed sheets are dry every morning now!”

  • Christine W.

    “The brain fog was honestly terrifying me: I'd walk into a room and completely forget why I was there, or struggle to find basic words at my desk job. Combining these capsules with my morning routine gave me back my focus. No jittery feeling like caffeine gives, just clear-headed energy.”

It's different for every woman. Many women in our reviews noticed a change within a few weeks, and the research looked at several months, which is why most start with 3 bottles.

The 3-bottle bundle gives you 90 days to stay with the routine. We recommend three months of daily use for optimal results, so support can stay close through the mornings, nights, and moments that matter. You’ll also get 25% off and free shipping.

Take two capsules daily, preferably with meals. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner all work. Choose the meal you already keep.

More support for the changes you feel.

One daily menopause supplement, with support that can stay close as your needs change.

Menopause and sex FAQs

Lower estrogen can leave vaginal tissue thinner and drier, which is the most common reason sex starts to hurt after menopause. Pelvic floor tension, some medications, and skin conditions can also play a part, so it is worth having a clinician look rather than guessing. ACOG.

It depends on the cause. Dryness that comes from lower estrogen tends to stay unless something is done about it, and there are several options, from moisturizers and lubricants to treatments a clinician can prescribe. Pain that is new, severe, or comes with bleeding should be seen promptly. ACOG.

For many women desire changes rather than disappears, and it tends to follow sleep, comfort, stress, and how connected she feels. Pausive supports the comfort and better sleep that closeness tends to follow. Office on Women's Health.

Menopause and low libido usually have more than one thread: rest, comfort during sex, stress, medications, and the conversation at home. Start with the ones you can change. Pausive supports the comfort and sleep side of it, every day. ACOG.

Menopause and a sexless marriage come up together often, usually after a long quiet stretch nobody named out loud. Saying it plainly, together, tends to be the step that moves it.

Menopause and relationships meet at sleep, temperature, comfort, and patience. When nights are interrupted and closeness feels uncomfortable, both people notice, and both usually feel better once the reason is on the table.

Painful sex during menopause is common, but it is not the only explanation, and assuming menopause can delay finding the real one. A clinician can tell the difference, especially when the pain is new, one sided, or comes with bleeding. ACOG.

Take two capsules daily, preferably with meals. Each bottle contains 60 capsules, which is a 30-day supply.

Pausive ships within the United States only. The 2 and 3 bottle packs ship free, and a single bottle ships at the rate shown at checkout.
