Millions of women* worldwide suffer from endometriosis. The Endometriose-Vereinigung Deutschland e.V., the German Endometriosis Association, assumes that between 8 and 15 percent of all girls* and women* are affected - and yet the disease often remains in the shadow of ignorance and stigmatization. Endometriosis is a chronic disease in which tissue similar to the uterus grows outside of it. This can lead to significant pain and health problems.
For many women* with endometriosis, monthly menstrual cycles are a time of Agony as they face intense pain and uncontrollable bleeding. For some sufferers, period underwear can make a significant difference.
Period underwear can be worn very well if you have endometriosis or adenomyosis. Period products such as tampons or menstrual cups that need to be inserted can be uncomfortable or even painful for some endometriosis patients. Period panties, on the other hand, can be worn like normal underwear, are very comfortable and reliably absorb bleeding.

I'm Rose and I suffer from Endometriosis and adenomyosis. My period is incredibly painful and it affects my daily life. ooia period underwear supports me in all situations. I don't just use them during menstruation!
Endometriosis sufferers often have problems with hygiene products such as tampons, as inserting them can be painful. That's why period underwear is comfortable, flattering and can be worn like normal underwear. I love ooia period panties because they are sexy and not like diapers. Simply underwear with a certain advantage 😍

If you're struggling with endometriosis, period underwear could be a valuable addition to your everyday routine. Of course, it is important to consider all aspects of your treatment in close consultation with your doctor.
ooia period underwear absorbs leak-proof blood thanks to our multi-layer Magic Membrane System and wicks moisture away from the body to prevent leaks and at the same time ensure a dry feeling. The panties are soft, super comfortable and stay in place, so that you can move freely and focus on your daily activities.
If you have heavy bleeding, we recommend our Strong Collection, which can hold up to 6 tampons of liquid.
If you really value hot water bottles or general warmth during your period, try out our ooia Hugs - the panty has two pockets hidden inside for heat pads, so you can keep your lower stomach or lower back comfortably warm even when you're on the go.
I have endometriosis and have been saving for these underpants for a long time. I always walked around with a huge hot water bottle. Now I have the underpants with the pockets for the heat pads and I can wear whatever I want again. The investment was worth every cent. Your period underwear is an incredible relief on so many levels. I finally feel good again. For the first time in my life, there is something positive when I think about my period. You enable me to have a completely new everyday life and a great attitude to life. Thank you 🥰!- ooia customer Christina
At first I was a little unsure about the reliability of period underwear because I have endometriosis and tend to bleed very heavily during my period. I now own 5 different models, and I am very satisfied with all of them, both visually and in terms of strength. No pain from tampons, no leaks, but safety and comfort! - ooia customer Katrin
Game changer. The first product that makes me feel 100% comfortable during my period (despite or perhaps because of my endometriosis). Suitable for sports (jogging, equestrian sports) and everyday use. Incredibly friendly company and great products - ooia customer VB
The order was delivered quickly and I am very satisfied! Brazilian briefs, all-over lace and high waist do what they promise - in the truest sense. Plus they're visually appealing and super comfortable (compared to other period underwear brands) and a real game changer on my days when it comes to endometriosis pain...- ooia customer Lisa
The Ooia menstrual panties changed my life! Because of my endometriosis, I have extremely painful periods and am barely able to use tampons or cups. The underpants are sustainable, beautiful, safe and extremely comfortable!- ooia customer Linda
I went from being an extremely skeptical prospect to being a very satisfied customer. I now have 3 styles at home and, thanks to the Ooias, I feel more comfortable than ever during my period. I always have very heavy bleeding due to endometriosis and thanks to period underwear I still feel like a human being - thanks for the quality of life in panties :-) -ooia customer Nina
