Severe symptoms and pronounced PMS

You suffer from severe pain and pronounced premenstrual symptoms (PMS), including bloating, irritability and breast pain. Your menstrual flow is usually abundant, and you experience significant mood and energy fluctuations. These severe symptoms can greatly affect your daily life, requiring frequent adaptations to manage pain and discomfort.

Find out more about your profile

  • Your menstrual profile

    Your periods are often heavy and can be unpredictable. Duration and intensity may vary considerably from one cycle to the next. White discharge may be irregular, and you are more likely to experience spotting between cycles.

  • Hormonal profile

    Your hormone levels show pronounced imbalances, with estrogen levels often high and progesterone low. These imbalances can lead to severe symptoms such as heavy periods and intense pain. Hormonal imbalances can also lead to acne outbreaks and skin problems. Thyroid dysregulation, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, may also aggravate these symptoms. It's crucial to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate follow-up and advice on managing these imbalances.

menstrual protection for you

Our range of menstrual lingerie

The menstrual briefs that are right for you are those for heavy flow and menstrual shorties. Choose comfortable models to support the swelling in your lower abdomen, like our Simone panties. To help you cope with the unpredictability of your period, we recommend a set of menstrual shorts covering light to heavy flow, so you're ready for any eventuality and can wear the most suitable panty on the big day. It's not normal to feel so sore during your period that you have to reorganize your day around cramps. If this is the case, don't hesitate to consult your doctor.

Our health recommendations for your profile

  • Diet

    Focus on a diet rich in omega-3s, green vegetables and fiber to help reduce inflammation and balance your hormones. Avoid refined sugars and fatty foods, which can exacerbate hormonal imbalances.

  • Skin and hair care

    Use creams containing AHA acids to help manage rashes. Choose moisturizing and soothing hair care products to combat dryness and scalp irritation.

  • Sports activities

    Gentle exercises like yoga and swimming can help manage pain and stress, and can also improve your hormonal well-being by reducing levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

  • Claire, 35 years old

    "My cycles are very irregular and I often have intense menstrual pain. Premenstrual symptoms are particularly difficult to manage, with severe bloating and marked irritability. Menstrual briefs for heavy flow have really helped me feel more confident, especially on those days when my period comes without warning. Their comfort and absorbency are essential for me. I also use a hot water bottle to soothe the pain in my lower abdomen, which brings me immediate relief."

  • Marianne, 40 years old

    "Hormonal fluctuations are a real nightmare for me. My premenstrual symptoms include breast pain and extreme fatigue. During my period, I'm often bedridden with severe cramps. I've learned to manage these discomforts by adapting my diet and practicing relaxation techniques such as meditation and yoga. These practices help me to cope better with the pain and stay calmer. Quitting smoking has also helped a lot to calm my symptoms."

  • Nafissa, 38 years old

    "I suffer from severe PMS, with mood swings that affect my daily life. The week before my period is the most difficult, with irritability and depression that make life complicated. Menstrual pain is also very strong. I can't do without Doliprane during my period, it's the only way I can cope. I've found that regular medical check-ups and the use of nutritional supplements help to stabilize my hormones somewhat. My gynecologist's advice is invaluable in managing these symptoms. "

  • Mariam, 27 years old

    "My cycles are not only irregular, but also accompanied by severe menstrual pain. My PMS, along with the bloating and mood swings, makes my daily life very difficult. Absorbent menstrual pants have helped me manage the days of heavy flow, but it's mainly the support of my family and the adjustment of my lifestyle that have helped me get through this period better. Taking regular breaks and practicing breathing exercises helps to reduce the intensity of my symptoms. A hot water bottle is also my ally against pain!"
