technology
magic membrane system
An ooia period underwear is as beautiful and comfortable as your favorite underwear, but it can do much more: it has an integrated membrane system in the crotch that draws the liquid away from you, absorbs it and prevents it from leaking.

still questions?
The ooia period underwear is designed to hold 1-6 tampons or 10-30ml of fluid, depending on the model.
How many and when you use ooia period panties depends entirely on your needs - your preferences, your plans, the intensity of your bleeding, and many other factors. To completely cover one period, you will need about 5 ooia period panties - assuming you wear one at night, one during the day, and wash the used panties after two days.
The ooia period underwear is designed to hold 1-6 tampons or 10-30ml of fluid, depending on the model. How many and when you use ooia period panties depends on your needs - your preferences, your plans, the intensity of your bleeding, and many other factors. There is no one size fits all solution. If your period is light to medium, you can most likely use ooia period underwear without additional period products. If you bleed very heavily, you may want to use additional protection (tampon, cup).
If you treat ooia period underwear well, it will retain its full antibacterial effectiveness for around 2 years . After that, you can of course continue to use it as "normal" underwear - although studies show that underwear is rarely used for longer than two years. But we are happy if ooia is used for longer.
