Embr Wave 1: Thermal Wellness Hack 1.7.1 + Redeem Codes

I bought this very reluctantly. I used it once and was sure I was going to return it. But was going to give it a full 30 day review. I've had it for a couple of weeks now and my only wish is it had more battery and was a little less obtrusive. It's not obtrusive, but it is large, and I wear it all the time. I especially like it at night during my hot flashes and using the night mode. I think you need to be aware of your body's symptoms. I could put it on and not notice any change, but then when I think about it, I haven't been hot when used. Will it cool down your body from excessive heat? Not sure but it will bring it within tolerance. I love the different heading/cooling modes. I constantly change mine based on what I'm doing and how soon I might catch the need to use it (the sooner the better!) Its real. It's a little pricey, but I find it really works. But I'm also very aware of changes happening within my body. When I start sweating if I go into a-fib, it even helps that! Not the heart, but the sweating which helps me focus on bringing the heart rate down not having to deal with the uncomfort of sweating at the same time. I decided it's well worth the cost because I didn't like the alternative.

Just got my Embr this morning. Charging was fast and easy. (Uses an old iPhone charger to connect to a wall outlet.) Looked over the Quick Start Guide, then took E for a 90-minute walk with my dog.

The outdoor temperature was 59 F when I left home, which is a little chilly for me. (I have Raynaud’s.) So I used the warming function. Felt the heat right away. Hadn’t paired the device with my phone yet. So I had to restart it a couple of times during the walk.

I’d bundled up in a sweat shirt with a hoody and a fleece-lined jacket, leather gloves and a scarf. But there was a bracingly icy wind and my ears and face felt tingly from the cold. I suspect the E works better indoors than during long outdoor wear. But in the latter case it may be effective if it’s set for an extended time. Now that I’ve paired it and can access the settings software, I’ll have to try that. Meanwhile, I’m impressed with the E’s performance.

Not kidding. My daughter gave me this Embr Wave last year for Christmas and I wear it most of the time. I am unlucky in having gone back into menopausal symptoms after been thru 10 years of actual menopause. Day and night hot flashes with heavy sweating had been driving me crazy, waking me from sleep 2-4 times a night to change my nightgowns and pillow cases. No more since I received my Embr Wave. It really is a lifesaver for me. I don’t wake up at night and it cools me during the day. I’ve told friends about it and three of them purchased their own Embr Wave. Thank you, thank you to the engineers at MIT for inventing this wonderful product for us women who have suffered with hot flashes and swearing. It’s expensive but well worth it!

I understand there isn’t a lot of technology out there to emit a cooling sensation but the embr waves cool setting isn’t anything revolutionary. The bracelet actually begins to overheat on the top when “cool” is used but continues to stay at starting temperature when the “heat” setting is used; the overheating sensation actually caused me to feel MORE warm because the devices warmth from overheating was actually more continuous and present than the devices “Cool” setting. The waves are also too far spaced apart to provide real relief for severe hot flashes. I find it to be much more efficient to run my wrist underneath cold water than to use my Embr Wave.

I try to use it everyday to see if daily use increases effectiveness but it tends to be more trouble than its worth. I REALLY hope they develop a “Cool” setting that’s genuinely cold and continuous in wave duration in the future. Great concept and great for heating up, but overall not that great for hot flashes.

I’ve been using my Embr bracelet over the past six months or so. I have very bad temp regulation due to multiple sclerosis and extra weight put on after being diagnosed in 2017. This bracelet makes a huge difference. A typical day is alternating between dripping in sweat or freezing. Now, I press the bar and get relief quickly. It either completely circumvents the problem or reduces the severity significantly. Thank you! This helps me get back a quality of life I’ve thought was gone since my temp problem is often so severe that I can’t function. Love, love my bracelet!

i’ve worn Embr less than 7 nights on -11 degrees cooling mode and have finally gotten good sleep so am pleased overall so far. Soon we have a trip involving plane travel where i’m always cold; eager to see how the warming mode works.

Three drawbacks: 1) the bluetooth range is very very short, i am constantly unpairing the device. i don’t like being tethered to my phone for such things; 2) my sole goal for the device is to stay cool thru the night and bank some solid sleep hours so the 60 min max mode severely limits this purpose; 3) short battery life, one night. i was hoping for a few nights off a charge like my clarisonic and dermaflash.

bluetooth device management is overtaking my life🥴🥴🥴

when i’m awakened with a hot flash, i’ve figured out how to reactivate the cooling mode with my eyes closed, but none the less my sleep is disturbed having to do so.

weighing the pros versus the cons, i’d rather a slight awakening to reactivate the cooling mode than to suffer 10-15 minutes with a hot flash.

i think you’ll like it if hot flashes while you are sleeping bother you!

Love the idea of controlling my Wave with an app. I especially enjoy seeing the little warmth progress bar, because before that I had always been confused why "Wave had to rest for a little while."

It'd be great if that bar could then show the progress cooling towards another session. A similar "battery" bar would also be nice. And it'd be lovely if we could quickly turn the app's temperature dial, or even better, just tap at -6º for an instant setting. And it’d be nice if the app worked in airplane mode, since I often want to use my Wave in airplanes, cruise ships, and on international travel. Looking forward to this software making my hardware better and better!

I will be the first to admit, I was skeptical about this product. I have now used it for a month and I am addicted. I wear it to bed and anytime I wake up I push the cooling button and am able to go back to sleep much quicker that before I started using. I have been wearing when we travel; whether by plane or by car. What a difference this makes for my comfort. I can just adjust my body temperature and not worry about finding an adjustment with the air conditioner or heater. I have even worn on the golf course to cool myself in hot conditions. I am a true believer in this product.

I was skeptical of this product, but determined to try it, as it promised to alleviate my extreme discomfort with even moderate changes in temperature.
I originally bought it to cool off on hot days. But to my surprise, I find myself using the heat option often. I get chills that used to require me to add two or three extra layers of clothing and then take them off after I warmed. What a bother. Now I just use this device and it distracts me long enough from the chill, without all the bother and extra laundry.

I don’t know how it works, but it does work for me.

I love the app so far. Lets me use quick or extended mode. I love that I can fine tune the temperature. Only two little bugs keeping it from getting 5 stars from me.
1. You need to pair it every time you use it. Which doesn’t take long, but still could be better.
2. Sometimes when you adjust the temp the app doesn’t show it. I can feel the temp change but since the app freezes I can’t see what temp I have it on.
