It's not just our feather-soft, absorbent breastfeeding bra that's with you and your baby from birth. We're also by your side during the postpartum period: ooia panties are a helpful innovation. Find out more on this page!
After the birth, mother and child should rest and stay in bed for 3 to 4 weeks. During this time, the postpartum flow comes and you lose a lot of blood and fluid. In the first few days, medical pads cannot be replaced. But as soon as the first heavy bleeding subsides a little, you can switch to ooia panties. The ooia panties have a built-in membrane system in the crotch that pulls the fluid away from you, absorbing it and preventing it from leaking.
Our ooia Shorty is especially suitable for the postpartum period: The shorty can hold up to 6 tampons of fluid and protects you reliably. If you've had a caesarean section, we recommend our ooia Hipster as it's cut slightly lower. The ooia Highwaist is particularly comfortable due to its high waist and hugs your belly.
Our panties can also be used in the event of a miscarriage or after operations.

The absorbent nursing bra makes nursing pads superfluous. Made from super soft merino wool - available in beige and black!
1.Comfortable: with ooia underwear you don't have to deal with slippery, pinching inserts, but can enjoy the days and nights with your baby, feeling dry and safe
2.Completely dry feeling: thanks to natural materials in your most sensitive areas that are still healing. With ooia products, nothing feels wet, sweaty or synthetic - because the innermost layer is made of temperature-regulating merino wool (naturally mulesing-free!).
3.Certified quality: ooia is the only period underwear whose function is certified. The renowned German Hohenstein Institute has extensively tested ooia period underwear and awarded us the certificate "antibacterial". So you don't have to worry about bacterial infections or odours.
4.High absorbency. An ooia period underwear holds a large amount of fluid with 2 to 6 tampons of absorbency, so it can often be used without other period products.
5.Natural fibres against your skin: the materials of the ooias that touch your intimate areas are natural fibres. In addition, each of the materials in an ooia is elastic and breathable. This means that you and your baby are not only protected during the postpartum period, but also feel comfortable and don't sweat.
shop nowHow do I know I need to change panties?
The magic membrane system sucks liquid directly away from you and absorbs it safely.
It's hard to tell from the outside how "full" an ooia panty is. It will feel noticeably wetter if it gets too full - moisture can be felt, especially around the edges. Either way, you should change your ooia period underwear after a maximum of 10-12 hours for hygiene reasons.
You can wear the ooia nursing bra for several days and nights, depending on the amount of milk, and then wash it easily with your laundry.
Can I continue to use the panties after the postpartum period?
Yes, there are many possible uses: Already during pregnancy, the panties can be a support for you and give you security in case of increased discharge - or when the baby in your belly gets bigger, presses on the bladder and a few drops here and there become independent. The ooia period underwear is also suitable for:
- Your period
- Spotting
- After miscarriages or operations
- Sleeping at night
- Sport
Is the ooia underwear hygienic? How am I protected from bacteria?
Your health is our top priority! ooia is the only period underwear brand to be certified. It has received the "antibacterial" certificate from the renowned Hohenstein Institute - after extensive testing. We have had the bacteria-inhibiting requirements for ooia tested and confirmed by gynaecologists and have adapted the entire development of ooia period underwear to this.
Our membrane system has bacteria-inhibiting properties at the crucial points - so that bacteria can neither multiply nor develop unpleasant odours. Our active ingredient silver chloride is tested under the strictest conditions and may be used in Germany in accordance with Article 89 of the Biocide Ordinance in conjunction with Section 28 (8) of the Chemicals Act. Silver has been used for centuries to protect against diseases. It was already used in ancient Greece and Rome to disinfect water. Of course, we do not use any nanoparticles that are controversial to health.
In addition, you can machine-wash ooia at 40 degrees.
