Here’s why you should be wearing leakproof underwear as a brand new mumma AND why Annahitah Pro Flo pants are the best postpartum pants out there.

The postpartum period is a time of immense joy and significant adjustment. Your body is healing, and you are navigating the beautiful but demanding world of newborn care. You will spend hours staring at your bundle of joy, marvelling at your body’s pure magic.  It can be a time of overwhelm, emotion and hormone rebalancing and adding in postpartum bleeding into the mix, can be one of the more challenging aspects of this time.

It is likely that your medical caregiver will have instructed you to wear thick sanitary pads after giving birth for several weeks until the bleeding subsides.  Not only are traditional postpartum pads often bulky, uncomfortable, and need frequent changing, there are more worrying reasons why they should be avoided, but here is why we believe you should NEVER wear pads if you are postpartum.

Postpartum bleeding can last for several weeks and is typically heaviest in the first few days after childbirth. This bleeding can be much heavier than a regular period, necessitating frequent changes of traditional pads. The discomfort and inconvenience of dealing with bulky pads can detract from those precious moments spent with your newborn.  Medical establishments widely advise postpartum women to wear thick sanitary pads after giving birth but they generally neglect to inform them of the harsh chemicals that they are laden with, including dioxins, chlorine and fragrances.  The vagina contains some of the most absorbent and sensitive mucous membranes in the female body.  The vaginal walls are more open after giving birth, more absorbent and need more healing. Let’s put it this way: if you had an open wound, would you want to rub it with a strong artificially fragranced chemical?  Us neither!  The Postpartum bleed is a special time for natural healing, without interference of man-made harsh chemicals.  Our globally recognised safe certified materials and fibres and natural antimicrobial properties, our Annahitah Po Flo period pants allow you to focus on what truly matters - staring at your gorgeous “one in a million”.  They are free from nasty chemicals and have safe antimicrobial technology to keep you fresh to reduce any infection risk.  And, with our Super Heavy styles, you can be safe in the knowledge that you won't leak.

Here’s a round up of why Annahitah Pro Flo Pants are ideal for postpartum women:
