Fans were blown away in 2022 when Naomi Watts launched Stripes, a beauty and wellness brand focused on menopause health. Since then, the brand has spawned an empire, with people scrambling to get their hands on the company’s products. Now, it’s even easier.
Stripes, which is part of the Flow Collective, launched on QVC back in April with a curated assortment of products, all of which are designed to help keep you looking and feeling your best during this time in your life. Watts previously told Today that it was important for her to create something for women going through menopause. “I reject the notion that [menopause] marks the end of one’s life,” she said. “Just because it’s the end of one’s reproductive life doesn’t mean to say you’re invisible or irrelevant.”
The 55-year-old shared that she decided to create Stripes when she started going through perimenopause while trying to get pregnant in her mid-30s. “That’s when I started to hear from my doctor that my hormones were changing at quite a drastic level, and it put me into such a terrible panic,” she said.
Watts said she “started feeling extreme symptoms” after she had her second child, including skin dryness. “I heard about hot flashes, I heard about night sweats but I hadn’t really heard about things like migraines,” she said. “I certainly hadn’t heard about skin issues. I mean, 90 percent of women experience painful sex as well after menopause. And that’s the most taboo subject area.”
So, Stripes was born. Since then, Naomi has been outspoken about menopause and even shared several jokey videos on Instagram about her products:
