Every month, millions of women endure pain that is still too often trivialized. Endometriosis, heavy periods, PCOS, chronic pelvic pain : behind these sometimes misunderstood words, there are bodies in pain, and voices that are not listened to enough.


At Sacrée Française, we refuse to let these pains become the norm. We refuse to be told "it's all in your head" or "it's normal, you're on your period." We know how these conditions can transform daily life, both physically and mentally.

What if we started by changing what we can change?


Choosing soft, healthy, washable, and Oeko-Tex-certified menstrual protection is already a small step toward greater comfort, more reassurance, and less suffering. A gesture for yourself, for your body—and for all those who fight, sometimes in the shadows.

Endometriosis, painful periods & washable protection: another path is possible


Understanding endometriosis (and other gynecological problems)


1 in 10 women suffer from endometriosis. Yet, it takes an average of 7 years to get a diagnosis . Chronic fatigue, unbearable pain, heavy periods, digestive problems... the list is long and too often trivialized.


And that's not all: PCOS, fibroids, vulvodynia , etc. are also part of the daily lives of many women. These invisible pathologies weigh heavily: on the body, morale, work... and also on the wallet . Because yes, when you're sick, you spend more.

🟣 When periods hurt


  • Endometriosis, PCOS, fibroids, heavy periods…
    These gynecological disorders affect millions of women, often without a clear diagnosis for years.
  • Debilitating pain on a daily basis
    Chronic fatigue, pelvic pain, unbearable cramps... living with these conditions means dealing with suffering that is too often minimized.
  • Invisible but very real consequences
    Social isolation, absenteeism from school or work, loss of confidence: we are still told to "deal with it," as if it were normal.

🔵 Why protections matter so much


  • Disposables may worsen symptoms
    Irritating, not very breathable, sometimes composed of toxic residues: they are not always suitable for sensitive bodies.
  • Washable menstrual protection provides daily relief
    Made from soft Oeko-Tex certified cotton, they are breathable, free from harmful products, and much more comfortable to wear.
  • A small change, a big relief
    When you're living with pain, every detail counts. And choosing protection that respects your body can make all the difference.
