If you want to steer clear of hot flashes, menopause becomes a time period of limiting certain types of clothing. To avoid a hot flash, never wear wool or silk. Choose clothes that are able to breath such as cotton and dress in layers, so that if you start to get hot you can strip down to cool off. If you want to avoid hot flashes and night sweats, wear all cotton pajamas and give up synthetic or silk sheets. Keep a glass of ice water by the bed and take a drink if you wake up and feel like you are on the verge of a hot flash.
