Dealing with heavy periods can be frustrating, exhausting, and sometimes even overwhelming. From unexpected leaks to painful cramps and fatigue, it’s no surprise that many people dread their heaviest flow days. But there is some good news, you wonderful soul — there are ways to manage your period with confidence, so you don’t have to put your life on hold. By choosing the right products, tracking your cycle, nourishing your body, and prioritising self-care, you can totally own this AND take back control!
With the right strategies, you can stay comfortable, avoid surprises, and feel empowered no matter what time of the month it is. Here’s how:
1. Track Your Cycle
Use a period-tracking app to anticipate heavy flow days and plan accordingly. This helps you stay prepared with supplies and avoid surprises. This has been a gamechanger for so many Annahitah clients.
2. Stay Hydrated & Eat Nutrient-Rich Foods
Heavy bleeding can lead to fatigue and low iron levels. Our founder, Nina, has often been told she’s anaemic only to discover the blood test was taken on the day of her period, giving a false result! Increase your intake of iron-rich foods like spinach, red meat and legumes, and stay hydrated to keep your energy up. Remember, you don’t want to turn into a raisin!
3. Dress for Comfort & Confidence
Wearing dark-coloured clothing, loose outfits, or layering can help you feel more secure throughout the day. Pair your outfit with Annahitah period pants for leak-proof protection and maximum comfort that lets you move freely without worry.
4. Manage Cramps & Discomfort
Use heating pads, pain relievers, or gentle exercises like yoga to relieve cramps and discomfort.
5. Prioritise Rest & Self-Care
Listen to your body and take breaks when needed. Getting enough sleep and reducing stress through mindfulness or relaxation techniques can help you feel better overall.
6. Choose the Right Products
For reliable coverage, try Annahitah period pants and heavy flow pants - designed for maximum absorbency and all-day comfort. Unlike traditional products, our period pants provide leak-proof protection without discomfort, so you can move freely without worry. Whether you’re at work, hitting the gym, or relaxing at home, Annahitah period pants keep you covered so you can focus on what matters most.
7. Know When to See a Doctor
If your periods are extremely heavy, lasting longer than seven days, or causing severe fatigue, consult a healthcare provider to rule out underlying conditions like fibroids or anaemia.
By staying prepared and taking care of your body, you can handle heavy periods with confidence and ease. With Annahitah period pants, you never have to compromise on comfort or protection. We promise, lovely one!
