Women’s health is a storied tale, one often involving a lack of understanding and education. Fortunately, times are changing, and initiatives such as World Menopause Day on 18 October are helping women to reclaim their health journey. These brands have been designed to help women feel their best, no matter what age or stage they’re in.
Pinc Wellness
We’ve spent years perfecting our skincare routines and now we’re moving on to ‘skinify’ the rest of our bodies. From scalp care to intimate health, everything gets a dedicated product designed to support its needs.
While we might be better at looking after our hair, that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t also be prioritising building an intimate care routine that fits into our lives and telling everyone we know to do the same.
The Feminine Wash from Pinc Wellness is here to help. The gentle, everyday intimate cleanser is designed to leave you feeling fresh, comfortable and confident, while also supporting your natural pH levels and giving you an extra moisturising bonus.
Because looking after your intimate health shouldn’t feel clinical, complicated or embarrassing. With Pinc Wellness, it just feels normal.
What The Flush
Hot flushes and night sweats are one of the most recognised symptoms of menopause1, but the problem isn’t just about the heat. These symptoms can have a broader impact on your life — everything from sleep, fatigue, concentration and changes in mood which may affect your quality of life. 2
That’s why Astellas’ ‘What The Flush?’ campaign aims to raise awareness to help women join the dots between hot flushes, night sweats and the other symptoms that can often be overlooked or mistaken.
The campaign encourages women to consider if these symptoms may be affecting their everyday lives. By helping women recognise these potential connections, ‘What The Flush?’ encourages them to speak to a GP to evaluate their symptoms and learn more about the range of management options available, including non-hormonal treatments.
You can also head to WhatTheFlush.com.au to complete a free online symptom checker and receive a personalised report to support a discussion with their healthcare professional.

Rowie Health
When it comes to women’s health, it’s rarely just about one thing. Everything from hormones, nutrition, reproductive health and mental wellbeing can overlap, making the right support all the more important.
Enter: Rowie Health. A female-founded women’s health service bringing psychology and dietetic care together in one place.
From fertility and pregnancy to postpartum wellbeing, hormonal health and perimenopause, Rowie’s experienced practitioners provide evidence-based care with empathy at its heart, taking the time to listen, understand and consider the whole person, not just a single concern.
And because life is already busy enough, Rowie is available Australia-wide, with online appointments designed to fit around work, family and everything in between, all from the privacy and comfort of your home.
Keeper Health
Through every stage of our lives our health priorities change. And as we get older, strength, energy, recovery and long-term health can become increasingly important. Staying on top of all the supplements used to support these areas can mean cupboards overflowing with powders and tablets each with their own complicated routine.
That was until Keeper came along. A family-owned and operated Australian-founded wellness brand, bringing a simpler approach to the wellness space.
Their hero formula, Complete Longevity, combines 18 science-backed ingredients into the one convenient daily serve. It brings together ingredients such as NMN, NR, magnesium glycinate, taurine, glycine, CoQ10, NAC and spermidine in meaningful doses, rather than token amounts, designed to support energy and healthy ageing.
Designed to not only support you on your wellness journey, this daily supplement routine, makes taking multiple supplements significantly easier. Saving you from sourcing (and having to purchase) each ingredient individually, helping to simplify the way you invest in your health and future self.
Chemists’ Own PROCHECK FSH Rapid Test Cassette
As a woman’s oestrogen levels decline with age, generally the body responds by producing more Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) – its way of trying to stimulate the ovaries into action.
That rise in FSH levels can be an indicator of perimenopause and at-home self-test kits, which detect FSH levels in urine, are available to help you identify these changes that may be associated with menopause before a GP visit.
Chemists’ Own PROCHECK FSH Rapid Test Cassette is a rapid test for the detection of FSH (at a sensitivity of 25 mIU/mL and above) in a urine sample to aid in the detection of impending menopause. The easy-to-use, non-invasive cassette test can be done in private and can give you 99 per cent accurate results in as little as three minutes.
*Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
This test cannot determine fertility. Continue using contraception until your menopause status has been confirmed by a doctor.
For self-testing in vitro diagnostic use only. Discuss result with your healthcare professional before making any medical decision.
