I have no idea who this woman is but as ideas go, it is a load of pants and no help for menopausal women at all.  No wonder she has taken a drubbing in the comments section. 

Women come on MM looking for solutions and wearing a bloody stupid badge is not one of them.  She has obviously had very poor medical advice and should be on HRT. 

A far better idea would be to guide women towards a website like this where they can get help and support and discuss the latest HRT options.

OMG, whilst I agree with the fact that this stage of our lives shouldn't ne a taboo subject I think I'd draw the line at  wearing a badge to draw attention to myself!

 If we keep having ideas like this we could have train carriages full of people needing 'understanding' for one reason or another!!😀

What about having a period or  PMT. Should there be badges for that?

I don't think so  :( ::)
