The range is made up of pyjamas, leggings and briefs. Primark describes it as: "Wave goodbye to tight, irritating and stuffy nightwear and say a much-welcomed 'hello' to breezy, stretchy and super breathable menopause nightwear and lingerie! Hot flushes at night?

"Our breathable lingerie will help you stay nice and dry no matter the weather or hot sweats! Is your skin feeling extra sensitive? Our plush super-soft nightwear for menopause range includes comfy pyjama sets, breezy nightdresses and stylish chemises that will lull you to sleep in no time!"

One shopper spotted the new clothes in her local Primark and shared it on popular shopping group Extreme Coupons and Bargaining UK.

She wrote: "Not a bargain, but think these may help women out. Primark are doing a Menopause Range to help keep you cool with them hot sweats and to keep you comfortable. Think it's a great idea. They had a good range pants, bras vest etc."

The new range is on sale from as low as £7 (Primark)

The post gathered 2.6k comments and 3.3k likes with one woman replying:

One said: "I saw these today felt the fabric absolutely brilliant."

A second added: "I bought yesterday the twin pack vest tops and the shorts, they obviously don't stop you sweating but I definitely woke up without being a sticky sweaty mess this morning and they are super comfy."

"Fantastic! And great to see Menopause symptoms are being recognised," a third praised Primark.

"These would be perfect too for anyone that’s just had a baby, no one warns you about the random night sweats," another chimed in.

A fifth commented: "That's a fantastic idea. I'll definitely be going to get some well done Primark."

Meanwhile, other woman were sharing their tips on how to cope with the symptoms of menopause.

One commented: "I bought one of those little magnets you wear in your knickers. August Rose from Amazon. I swear by it!!! I know my trigger is alcohol so I know I will get night sweats if drinking but this has been a life changer for me."

"Have soya in your meals - I had soya milk soya yogurt, cheese etc, no hot flushes, mood swings etc," another added.
