We have compiled the most important information on the subject of period underwear briefly for you. We answer what period underwear is, how you wash it properly, how long you can wear it and everything else around this topic.

ooia period underwear, or menstrual underwear, is as beautiful and comfortable as your favorite underwear, but can do so much more. The ooia menstrual underwear has an integrated membrane system in the crotch, which pulls the liquid away from you, absorbs it and prevents it from leaking. So you are safely protected during your period. ooia period underwear is suitable for all body fluids, so not only blood, but also urine or discharge. Depending on the model, it can hold 1-6 tampons of liquid. You can wear it alone or in combination with other period products.
Less waste! You can simply wash and put on period underwear again after wearing.

Nothing slips and it protects you leak-proof and reliable during sports, chilling or date night.
Super comfortable and beautiful at the same time. Available in different absorbencies, colors and styles!
Immediately after wearing your ooia menstrual underwear, we recommend that you wash it by hand in cold water.
Afterwards you can simply wash your ooia menstrual underwear at 40°C in the machine (see also here: ooia care or ooia technology) and put it on again afterwards - this way you avoid a lot of waste caused by disposable products.
How do I know when to change my menstrual underwear? The magic membrane system draws fluid directly away from you and absorbs it safely. When your period underwear gets too full, it will feel noticeably wetter. Moisture can then be felt, especially at the edges. It's best to observe how far apart you would use two tampons or pads - and change them at that interval for now. Either way, you should change your ooia menstrual underwear for hygiene reasons after a maximum of 10-12 hours.
It is very important to us that ooia period underwear is as breathable and thin as possible, so you feel comfortable. Therefore, we have selected very thin and lightweight fabrics. ooia is not thicker than 1-2 mm at the thickest point.
ooia is the first period underwear whose antibacterial function is certified. An external institute has extensively tested ooia period underwear and awarded us the certificate "antibacterial". We are very proud of this! If you want to know more, have a look here: ooia bacterial inhibition
Yes - with ooia period underwear you feel safe and dry in the postpartum period. Especially our ooia Shorty is suitable for the postpartum period: The Shorty can hold up to 6 tampons of fluid and protects you reliably. For increased discharge during pregnancy or when the flow slowly decreases, we recommend our ooia Hipster.
