Frequently Asked Questions
Does it actually work, or is it just an expensive way to breathe?
It works because of how you use it. Breathing out slowly, for longer than you breathe in, calms your nervous system. The trouble is, in an anxious moment almost nobody actually does it. Waft sits on you as a reminder, and its narrow opening paces your exhale so it is slower and longer than you would manage on your own. It is not magic. It simply helps you breathe in the way that calms you, exactly when you need it most.
How do I use it?
It could not be simpler. Wear it like any necklace. When you feel anxious or wound up, lift the pendant to your lips and breathe out slowly through it, longer than you breathed in. A few rounds is usually enough to feel your shoulders drop. No app, no counting, no programme to follow.
Will it help with menopause anxiety, broken sleep and 3am wake-ups?
That is exactly who Waft is made for. Many women reach for it in the moments menopause makes hardest: the anxiety that rises from nowhere, the racing mind, the 3am wake-up after a hot flush. It will not stop a hot flush, but slowing your breath helps your body settle so you can calm down and drift back off.
Is it safe? Are there any side effects?
Yes. Waft is completely drug-free. No hormones, no medication, no side effects, nothing to react to. It is simply your own breath, paced a little slower. You can use it as often as you like, alongside anything else you already do.
Will people know what it's for?
No. Waft looks like a simple, elegant pendant, nothing more. You can wear it to work, on the school run or out to dinner, and use it whenever you need to, without anyone knowing it is anything other than jewellery.
What's it made of, and is it comfortable?
Waft is made from polished stainless steel, so it is hypoallergenic, tarnish-free and water-resistant. The pendant is light, about 5 cm, with a smooth opening that sits comfortably at the lips. A quick wipe or rinse keeps it clean.
How is it different from a breathing app?
An app needs charging, notifications and your phone in your hand. Waft needs none of that. It is silent, has no battery and nothing to break, never asks for a subscription, and it is always around your neck, ready the second you need it. No screen, just your breath.
Won't I just become dependent on it?
Not at all. Waft simply encourages a slow, calming breath you can take any time, with or without it. If anything, the more you use it, the more natural that calmer breathing becomes. It is a helpful tool, not a crutch.
