Not only does our feather-soft, absorbent nursing bra accompany you and your baby from birth. We are also at your side during the postpartum period: ooia panties are a helpful innovation. You can 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 lochia occurs and you lose a lot of blood and fluid. In the first few days, the medical pads cannot be replaced. But as soon as the first heavy bleeding subsides a little, you can switch to ooia panties. Here you can find out more about why ooias are also suitable for heavy bleeding . The ooia panties have an integrated membrane system in the crotch that draws the fluid away from you, absorbs it and prevents it from leaking out.
Our ooia Shorty is particularly suitable for the postpartum period: The shorty can absorb up to 6 tampons of fluid and protects you reliably. If you have had a Caesarean section, we recommend our ooia Hipster , as it is cut a little lower. The ooia Highwaist is particularly comfortable thanks to its high waist and hugs your belly.
Our panties can also be used in the event of a miscarriage or after operations.

5 benefits of ooia moms products in the postpartum period
1. Comfortable: With ooia underwear, you don't have to deal with slipping, pinching pads, but can enjoy the days and nights with your baby and feel dry and safe
2. Completely dry feeling: thanks to natural materials on your most sensitive areas that are still in the healing process. With ooia products, nothing feels wet, sweaty or synthetic - because the innermost layer is made of temperature-regulating merino wool (of course 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 "antibacterial" certificate. This means you don't have to worry about bacterial infections or odor development.
4. High absorbency . An ooia period underwear holds a large amount of liquid with 2 to 6 tampons absorbency and can therefore often be used without other period products.
5. Natural fibers on your skin: The materials of the ooias that touch your intimate areas are natural fibers. 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 do not sweat.

How do I know when I need to change panties?
The magic membrane system sucks liquid directly away from you and absorbs it safely.
It is difficult to see from the outside how "full" an ooia panty is. It feels significantly wetter when it becomes 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 simply wash it with your laundry.
Can I continue to use the panties after the postpartum period?
Yes, there are many possible uses: Even during pregnancy , the panties can be a support for you and give you security when you have increased discharge - or when the baby in your belly is getting bigger, pressing on the bladder and a few drops are coming out here and there. The ooia period underwear is also suitable for:
- Your period
- Spotting
- After miscarriages or operations
- To sleep at night
- During sports
Is ooia underwear hygienic? How am I protected from bacteria?
Your health is our top priority! ooia is the only period underwear brand that is certified. It has received the "antibacterial" certificate from the renowned Hohenstein Institute - after extensive testing. We had gynecologists check and confirm the bacteria-inhibiting requirements for ooia and adapted the entire development of ooia period underwear accordingly.
Our membrane system has antibacterial properties at the crucial points - so that neither bacteria can multiply nor unpleasant odors can develop. Our active ingredient silver chloride is tested under the strictest conditions and can be used in Germany in accordance with Article 89 of the Biocidal Products Regulation in conjunction with Section 28 Paragraph 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 nano-active ingredients that are controversial in terms of health.
You can also machine wash ooia at 40 degrees.
