In Madagascar, where I grew up, menstruation is a taboo subject. We don’t talk about cycles, hormones and even less about menstrual protection options. Before arriving in Quebec in 2012 and launching Ora Protections in 2021, I had no idea that the tampons and sanitary pads I used every month could contain toxic materials harmful to vaginal flora.
It was after the birth of my third child, tired of disrupting my little sleep to change pads, that I decided to find out more about this subject.
Talking to other women around me, I realized that many of us were misinformed, or had never asked questions. I realized that I’d lacked education when it came to my health. That’s why I decided to make women’s health my main mission.
We've gone through our products and packaging with a fine-tooth comb to make them as eco-responsible as possible. We use tencel, recycled nylon, organic cotton and bamboo. No fabric contains PFAS, which are harmful to your health and to the planet. Our packaging has been reduced to a minimum and contains no plastic.
Above all, we want you to feel good and experience menstruation as comfortably as possible. That's why we don't judge other types of menstrual protection. That's also why we offer you a refund if you don't like your first menstrual panties. See our policy for details. If you encounter a problem with our products, we'll be there to listen and accommodate you as best we can.
Our panties are designed for all menstruating women. All our panty models are available in sizes XS to 4XL.
For us, keeping our prices as affordable as possible without compromising on quality and reliability is also a step towards greater inclusiveness.
We have nothing to hide. We take the utmost care with our size guides and product sheets, so there are no surprises. The composition of the fabrics and the place of manufacture are clearly indicated on our products.
Our panties are designed right here in Quebec, but sewn in China. Making our panties locally is one of our goals, but we haven't yet managed to find the perfect match to accommodate our production volume and keep our costs as affordable as possible. Between local facts and accessibility, we've chosen (for now) accessibility.

A minimum of 3-5 panties will give you time to wash and dry after use, then carry over to the next cycle. Choose different absorption levels to suit your menstrual flow.
Do you want to stop thinking about washing and make sure you have enough? Count 2 to 3 panties per day of menstruation. All you have to do is put them in the wash at the end of your period!
Hip and waist sizes are quite similar from one model to another. The difference is most obvious in the crotch.

If you’re hesitating between 2 sizes, it’s up to you to decide whether you prefer tighter-fitting panties or more room inside. You can also view detailed measurements for each model ⤵
It’s important to choose the right menstrual panties according to: your menstrual flow, the number of times you change and the duration of your period.
The more absorbent your protection, the longer you can wear it.
Equivalent to 1 tampon a day or a few drops on a towel.
Equivalent to 2 to 3 tampons a day or a pad every 3 hours
Equivalent to 4 to 5 tampons a day or 1 towel every 2 hours
A minimum of 3-5 panties is needed to last through a period. However, you’ll need to wash the panties between uses so that you can reuse them on subsequent days. Choose panties with different levels of absorption to adapt to your menstrual flow, depending on the day of your period.
Don’t you want to think about washing between uses? Count 2 to 3 panties per day of menstruation. After each use, rinse and set aside. All you have to do is put them in the wash at the end of your period!
