Introducing a world of wellness for people with vaginas.
It all started with one badass Black Female Athlete, a seemingly innocent clothing item, and countless frustrated trips to the OB's office...
In college, as an elite athlete, Mitch was constantly dealing with vaginal health hurdles and in the dark as to why. During yet another trip to the OB's office, she learned that the leggings she wore daily as an athlete make women 2x more likely to develop health issues.
She was mad - like BIG mad.
"I'm fixing this" level mad.
After some internet and academic digging, it was clear how many millions of people with vaginas were secretly dealing with sweat and moisture related health issues, either out of shame or because there were no solutions. From her own experiences as a woman, athlete, a former Nike employee, and an inclusive product designer, she knew that leggings were not designed with the comfort, health, and lifestyle needs of people with vaginas in mind. And BOOM, the concept for OYA was born.
Our Commitments
TO THE ENVIRONMENT
Designed in the USA
OYA products are designed here in the USA. Our US-based supply chain means that OYA pays sustainable wages and we have more transparency into the manufacturing process.
Upcycling Program
When your OYA leggings have reached their end of life, you can send them back to OYA for a 20% discount off your next pair. We can then get to work on upcycling your leggings to donate them to a local women's shelter.
Sustainable Materials
OYA's products are made using sustainable fabric with dyes that do not contaminate water resources.
Supports Better Vaginal Health
Better vaginal health means fewer OB/GYN visits and fewer one-time-use medical remedies.
Long-lasting Design
Our designs focus on mesh durability, insert absorption, product longevity, and antimicrobial properties. Our antimicrobial properties are slated to last over 40 washes.
