Life is a succession of chapters , each with its own colors and challenges.
Perimenopause is one of those natural and significant transitions in a woman's life.
Far from being an end, it marks an evolution, a new stage to be welcomed with understanding and serenity.
At Sacrée Française, supporting women through all phases of their lives is a core value, offering solutions that honor their bodies and well-being. This article aims to shed light on perimenopause, offer comfort, and show how Sacrée Française can be a valuable ally during this time.
It's important to emphasize that women are not alone in facing these changes and that it's a natural and manageable phase. By addressing the topic of perimenopause openly, the goal is to destigmatize this experience and reinforce a message of autonomy and shared experience.
This approach allows the discussion to move beyond simple products, cultivating a bond of trust and an emotional connection, key elements of a lasting relationship.

It is described as a "pivotal period" .
Its duration can vary considerably from one woman to another, generally lasting from two to four years, and sometimes even longer.
The medical community uses the term perimenopause to refer to the period from the beginning of this transition until actual menopause, which is confirmed after twelve consecutive months without menstruation.
The term "premenopause" is sometimes mentioned, which some sources use as a synonym for perimenopause , while others reserve it for an even earlier phase, marked by cycle disturbances without other major symptoms.
For clarity, this article will focus on perimenopause as the active phase of transition to menopause.
"Nothing in life is to be feared, everything is to be understood."
Changes in the menstrual cycle are at the forefront of perimenopause symptoms.
While menstrual changes are often the first to be observed, other symptoms can affect daily life:
The interconnectedness of these symptoms is notable: night sweats disrupt sleep, lack of sleep exacerbates fatigue and irritability, and a general state of fatigue can make it more difficult to manage weight or motivate oneself to exercise. Recognizing these connections helps us understand the importance of a holistic approach to well-being. Beyond physical discomfort, these symptoms can have a significant psychological impact, affecting self-esteem and social interactions.

Although perimenopause is a natural process, it is important to consult a doctor or gynecologist in certain situations. A consultation is recommended if bleeding becomes very heavy (for example, requiring a change of protection every hour, or lasting more than 7 days), occurs less than three weeks apart with the presence of blood clots, or if there is bleeding between periods or after intercourse. Generally speaking, if symptoms, whatever they may be, become disabling and significantly affect quality of life, medical advice is appropriate to discuss management options and rule out other possible causes.
Faced with the challenges posed by perimenopause symptoms, particularly the unpredictability of menstrual cycles, choosing the right sanitary protection becomes essential. This isn't just a practical matter, but a real lever for reducing stress and improving daily comfort. Sacrée Française products are designed to offer practical and reassuring solutions.
One of the most unsettling aspects of perimenopause is the variability of menstrual flow. One day, bleeding may be minimal, the next, very heavy. Reusable sanitary protection, such as menstrual panties and reusable sanitary pads (SHL) offered by Sacrée Française, offers valuable adaptability. They come in different sizes and absorbency levels, allowing you to choose the most appropriate protection based on your current flow, whether it's light spotting or heavy periods. This flexibility allows you to always be prepared, providing considerable peace of mind and reducing the anxiety associated with the fear of unexpected leaks. Some SHL are even designed to handle light urinary leaks, another potential inconvenience during this time.
During perimenopause, skin can become more sensitive, including the intimate area. Sacrée Française products are made from soft, breathable, and often hypoallergenic materials, such as organic cotton. This choice of quality textiles significantly limits the risk of irritation, itching, or allergies, which are common with some disposable products containing plastics or perfumes. Comfort is paramount, especially when the body is already going through many changes.
Choosing Sacrée Française reusable protection is also a good choice for your intimate health. These products are free from potentially harmful chemicals, perfumes, chlorine (used to bleach certain disposable protections) and plastics that come into direct contact with the skin and mucous membranes. During this period when hormonal balance is altered and vaginal dryness can be more common, avoiding chemical irritants is particularly important to maintain a healthy vaginal flora and prevent discomfort.
The reliability of Sacrée Française protection ensures significant peace of mind, day and night. Menstrual panties, for example, are designed to be discreet under clothing and offer effective protection, even during physical activity or while sleeping, limiting the risk of leaks. Being able to rely on your protection allows you to live your days more freely and enjoy more restful sleep, without the fear of waking up due to a leak.
Beyond comfort and health, choosing Sacrée Française reusable pads is part of a sustainable approach to elegance. In the long run, they represent a substantial saving compared to the repeated purchase of disposable products. In addition, they significantly contribute to waste reduction, an important gesture for the environment. This ethical and responsible dimension resonates with the values of many women who are concerned about their impact and the quality of the products they use. During periods of transition such as perimenopause, when we can feel a loss of control in the face of bodily changes, making a conscious choice for healthy, comfortable, and durable products can be an act of self-care and self-affirmation.
