Annahitah FAQs
ORDERING & FUNCTIONALITY
How do Annahitah period pants work?
Our period pants offer the comfort and style of your favourite underwear, but with the added benefit of being leakproof. This means you can ditch the pads, tampons, or menstrual cups and simply wear them during your period. They allow you to flow freely without worrying about leaks staining your clothes. Just slip them on and enjoy the confidence of knowing you're protected all day long, in a way that feels feminine and empowering. And they aren’t just for periods either. Our leakproof underwear supports women in all stages of their flow, whether it is post-partum or bladder leaks. That’s why we don’t actually call them period pants - we call them “Pro Flo Pants” because we support your flow!
Are they leakproof?
Yes, they are completely leakproof when used correctly. Our 4 layered technology includes an outside moisture-wicking layer with inner layers of absorbent, breathable mid-layers to keep you fresh and dry all day long.
How do I know what size to order?
Each style has a Size guide so please adhere to that.
Please note that our sizes are more on the generous side than tight-fitting! Always opt for your smaller size if you're in the middle! We cater for sizes from XXXS which is a young average size teenager all the way to XXL. As a general rule, XXS is UK 4-6, XS is UK 6-8, S is UK 8-10, M is UK 10-12, L is UK 12-14, XL is UK 14-16 and XXL is UK 16-18.
If your order arrives and is the wrong size, you can send it to us for an exchange. (Please see Refunds & Exchanges FAQs.)
How do I wash and care for my pants?
After use, rinse them in cold water to remove excess blood, then wash them on a gentle 30% cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can affect absorbency. Hang dry for the best longevity results or tumble dry on low heat.
How long do Annahitah period pants last?
The life span of our pants is 18 months - 3 years, depending on your loving care towards them! We see a direct correlation with longevity and love! If you avoid hot temperatures and air dry, they will last much longer.
How many pairs of period pants do I need?
The number of pairs needed depends on individual flow and washing frequency. As a general guideline, having 3-5 pairs can usually cover an entire cycle, allowing time for washing and drying between uses. Our best advice is to buy at least one of our 3, 4 or 5 Bundle Buy Collections.
Are your Pro Flo pants suitable for heavy flows and the first day of your period?
Absolutely! Functionality is OUR thing! This is one of the things that sets Annahitah apart - our super heavy flow has been meticulously tested over time to ensure they DO NOT leak, even on your heaviest days. Our period pants come in various absorbency levels: Super Heavy, Heavy, Medium and Light. including options for heavy flows. Our Super Heavy styles maintain comfort and style with the capability of holding 6-8 tampons worth of blood. On a super heavy day, you can wear them all day without leakages and switch to a second Super Heavy style for overnight protection.
Are they bulky or thick to wear?
Not at all - Annahitah pants are designed to be thin and lightweight for comfort. They are made from breathable materials that move with your body, providing a comfortable and discreet fit. Style and femininity is our signature!
Are period pants suitable for exercising?
Yes - they are perfect for supporting you through all types of exercise. Our light flow styles will even cater for excessive sweat in embarrassing areas, when you aren’t on your period. Our favourite g strings that are invisible under tight gym clothes are Nirvana and Venus!
Can I use period pants for incontinence?
Yes, we cater for all leaks, including weak bladder and incontinence! So many women suffer from this issue and we know all too well how pelvic floor muscles weaken over time, especially post partum. Annahitah offers many options suitable for managing all kinds of urinary incontinence, from dribbles to heavier leaks. We proudly provide reliable protection and discretion for individuals experiencing bladder leaks.
I have very clotty periods. How does this work?
Clots during heavy periods are super common and we simply advise that you wipe the excess clotting away with a tissue and flush away.
I have Endometriosis and very heavy periods that often leak. Will these be enough?
Our super heavy styles like Shanti and Odessa were designed with Endo Warriors in the back of our minds! We’ve got you covered! Our styles can hold up to 8 tampons worth of blood with no leaks. Some women have tested these gradually with Pro Flo pants plus a tampon on the heaviest day and the vast majority realised they didn’t need the tampon!
Can I wear Annahitah period pants after I have my baby?
Absolutely! We support women in every flow state, especially post partum. Ditch those horrendous fat pads and concentrate on snuggling and sniffing your gorgeous newborn without having to worry about leaking or changing or waddling! We can guarantee you will feel more attractive in our pants and we highly recommend Odessa and Shanti for the weeks after giving birth. You can also rest safe in the knowledge that your womanly soft tissues in “healing mode” are not being exposed to any harsh toxic chemicals often present in sanitary plastics.
Can I wear period pants overnight?
Yes, our Super Heavy styles offer overnight protection, specifically designed for extended wear. Our Super Heavy favourite styles are Shanti, Odessa, Valentina and Athena and they provide additional absorbency and coverage to prevent leaks while sleeping.
Do they smell during use?
This is a frequently asked question! Our clever 4 layered technology is designed to keep you fresh, however, we also offer extra odour control with antimicrobial options (see below)
Do I pick antimicrobial or natural?
We are passionate about offering our customers the choice of both. Annahitah is one of the few period pant brands to currently offer customers the choice. Some of our styles are antimicrobial with an added safe, fully tested and certified antimicrobial agent to neutralise odour and provide extra freshness. It is important to know that this DOES NOT contain any silver (please see more info in Sustainability FAQs). However, we also offer styles with NO antimicrobial for those that want to be “au natrel” as nature intended. Please note that even the non antimicrobial options still offer optimum freshness and an element of odour control due to the nature of the moisture-wicking absorbency layers.
What is the Eco-bag they arrive in?
All of our pants lovingly arrive in our washable Eco-bag made from organic cotton. This drawstring bag is your on-the-go solution for heavy days when you can simply carry a replacement pair in your handbag. If you are feeling conscious due to an extra heavy day, you can swap into your spare pair and place the used pair into the Eco-bag. Tighten the bag and get back to your busy day, knowing that you’re super fresh and don’t need to worry about any leaks. When you get home, simply wash and reuse!
Wow! What was that smell when my pants arrived!?
You noticed! (Well, we don’t know how you couldn’t, it is THAT magical!) This is our unique brand signature scent that was specifically curated to evoke a sensory explosion of divine feminine energy. If you love this scent and it awakens your spirit, you can rest safe in the knowledge that one day soon, this fragrance will be available for purchase!
