Period pants combine cutting-edge technology, textile engineering and sophisticated design to create a pair of underwear that safely, effectively and comfortably absorbs up to 4 tampons worth of menstrual blood.

This will vary depending on how heavy your flow is, but if the absorbency of your pants matches your flow, you can absolutely wear them for the entire day. The moderate absorbency can hold up to 15ml of menstrual blood, which is around the same as two regular tampons, and the super absorbency ones can hold the equivalent of four.

Washing your pants properly ensures they’ll stay in great condition for as long as possible. It’s not too strenuous either, just give them a rinse under cold water when you take them off, then just pop them in the wash on a cool, delicate cycle with similar colours. Even better if you stick them in a delicates bag first - the one that the pants come in works great! Then, once they’re out the washing machine just hang them up to dry, avoiding the tumble dryer as the heat and spins can break down the absorbent layer in the gusset.

No! We've gone through a long testing and development process to make sure that our period pants were totally odour-eliminating. They contain an antimicrobial layer which kills bacteria and gets rid of any potential smells, and the gusset is also finished with a specialised treatment that is specifically designed to absorb odours - it’s the same compound that’s used in activewear or medical devices.

You’re safe in the hands of some serious textile engineering and ohne’s design mastery. The absorbent part - known as the gusset - is made up of three layers, expertly designed to absorb liquid and lock it inside the underwear. The top layer is made of a specialised moisture-wicking and antimicrobial fabric which draws the moisture in, followed by an ultra-absorbent layer which traps and seals liquids completely. The final layer is a leak-proof lining, which acts as an extra barrier of precaution to prevent any drops from seeping out. The result is a technical feat, but what’s even more impressive is how comfortable they are. In fact they’re so comfy you’ll actually look forward to wearing them.

Absolutely not! We were sick of seeing period pants in drab, ill-fitting styles with bulky gussets, which is why one of our main motivations in starting ohne was to create a collection that looks as good as they feel. We make period pants you’ll actually want to wear, with a cutting-edge triple layer absorbency layer that doesn’t compromise style or sleekness.

Ohne period pants are made from modal, a plant-based and eco-friendly textile that’s completely biodegradable and compostable in home, industrial or marine conditions. Not only is it 50% more absorbent than cotton, it also uses twenty times less water to manufacture, and it produces ten times bigger yields. And of course the switch to period pants is a sustainable option in itself. The average menstruator produces around 400 pounds of waste from traditional period products in their lifetime. By swapping these for period pants, you will significantly reduce your carbon foot without compromising on your comfort. One pair of period pants can last over 2 years if looked after properly!
