All your questions, answered
How do period pants work?
The Asan period pants are made with special multi-layered technology that absorbs menstrual flow while keeping you dry, comfortable and odour-free. It can replace or act as a back-up to pads, tampons, or cups, depending on your flow.
How much flow can they hold?
The Asan Heavy flow period pants can hold up to 35ml, which is 4x more than an average pad/tampon.
I have heavy periods. Will I need other products with these pants?
If you change your pad within 1-2 hours, we recommend changing your period pants every 5-6 hours.
For ultimate protection, we recommend combining the Asan cup with period pants. You'll be covered in every situation, promise!
Do they contain micro-plastics?
Unlike other brands made from synthetic fabrics, Asan uses OEKO-TEX approved cotton. This ensures that it is free of harmful micro-plastics, making it safe for your body and the planet.
Will the period pants stain other clothes in the washing machine?
No, the Asan period underwear will not stain other clothes.
We recommend rinsing it in cold water before placing them in the washing machine to remove excess blood. This helps preserve both the underwear and the rest of your laundry.
How many pairs do I need?
This depends on how often you want to do laundry! We recommend that 5-7 pairs are enough to comfortably rotate through a cycle.
Are they worth the price?
Here’s the math. Over a 2 year period, the average person spends £500 on period products. These period pants cost £19.95, and can be used for years to come.
Since period pants come into direct contact with the body, it’s important to choose a trusted brand. Asan’s products are certified as ISO 13485 medical devices. Our underwear is made with premium cotton, in line with EOKO-TEX safety standards, to be PFAS-free. We don’t skimp on quality and we know you’ll feel the difference.
