How does Amani Period Underwear work?
Amani period panties are underwear that absorb your period and other vaginal secretions. Each panty is made with a patented, ultra-thin design that absorbs moisture, controls odor, soaks up liquid flow and resists leakage up to 12 hours in a row. So you stay fresh, dry and comfortable during each of your menstrual cycles, no matter what your activities.
Are Amani Period Underwear safe?
Yes, and we are proud to say that this is one of our primary concerns. We take everyone's health and safety seriously, which is why all Amani Period Underwear are made from natural materials that are healthy for the body and the environment.
Can Amani Period Underwear replace my current routine?
Depending on your flow (light, moderate, heavy) and your desire, our panties can replace pads, towels, tampons and cups, or be worn with tampons or cups for extra protection. We recommend that you try our different styles at home to develop your new routine.
How much liquid can Amani Period Underwear hold?
Our Casual panties can hold up to 3 regular pads (27 ml), while our Shorty panties can hold 5 regular pads (45 ml). We recommend using our Brazilian panties when your flow is weakest, at the beginning or end of your cycle, to avoid any unintentional leakage. Our absorbency levels vary depending on the style you choose. We recommend that you try each of our styles for the first time at home to see how they best fit your body and your "flow".

Our manufacturing partner is a true production expert who matches our additional values by prioritising the ethical and sustainable development of the products and their working environment.
How to care for your Amani Period Underwear?
Amani Period Underwear are easy to take care of. Made of bamboo and natural fabric, we recommend rinsing your panty under cold water after being used, let it air dry and reuse it as many times as you need during your cycle. Machine wash during or at the end of your cycle, do not tumble dry to avoid any shrinkage. Do not use any bleach or aggressive chemical to clean your panties.
In addition to these, here are a few things to take into account;
- In case your article has been in contact with greasy substances, cosmetics, or perfumes that have caused stains, we advise you to rub the fabric with colorless Marseille soap.
- We recommend you to put your article in its bag before washing. And to use a soft detergent for a machine delicate in 30° with the weakest spinning.
- Although the technology of our panties is hygienically optimal, we recommend that you do not use any other panties than yours in order to avoid any involuntary transmission of potential microbes.
How do I know what level of absorbency to buy?
To determine which Amani Period panties are right for you, consider how light/medium/heavy your flow is during your menstrual cycle. Our models have three levels of absorption, from lightest to heaviest, represented by a number of droplets (found on each product sheet).
We advise you to use your panties for the first time at home to gauge your sensations and to understand your optimal use time. As a reminder, our period pants can be worn for up to 12 hours in a row without risk of infection, depending on your flow and your activities.
How do I choose the right panty size?
We recommend that you use our handy size chart to determine your hip and waist size, and the best panty size for you. We understand that underwear sizes can vary from brand to brand, so all of our models are configured in some way to ensure that you always find comfort when you first buy.
