How do the OVEA undies work?

Discover How OVEA Period Undies Keep You Dry and Comfortable with our Four-Layer Design

  1. Absorbent Layer (Closest to Skin): Quickly absorbs fluid and wicks moisture away to keep you dry and comfortable throughout the day
  2. Moisture-Wicking Layer: Moves moisture away from the skin, towards the core layer, helping prevent leaks.
  3. Absorbent Core Layer: The main reservoir, designed to hold a significant amount of fluid (often 2-3 tampons' worth) capable for moderate to heavy flows.
  4. Leak-Proof, Waterproof Barrier Layer: The final layer that prevents any absorbed fluid from leaking through to your clothes.

The combination of these layers offers maximum comfort, absorbency, and leak protection, allowing Ovea underwear to be worn on their own or as a backup with other menstrual products.

How should I wash my OVEA underwear?

Keeping your OVEA period undies clean and long-lasting is easy! The key is using cold water and avoiding harsh chemicals and high heat.

  1. Rinse First (The Cold Shower): Immediately rinse your undies under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes the bulk of the blood and residue.
  2. Soak (Optional, But Recommended): Soak the undies in a basin of warm water with a neutral detergent for 15–30 minutes, then rinse well with clean water.
  3. Wash Gently:Hand Wash (Best): Gently rub and scrub the fabric with your hands for a thorough clean.Machine Wash: Use a laundry bag (mesh bag) to protect them from snagging or damage, and always use cold or warm water—never hot.
  4. Air Dry (The Essential Step): Always air dry your period undies. Hang them up or lay them flat. You can dry them in the sun to kill bacteria, but avoid prolonged, direct sunlight to prevent fading and damage.
