These Undies Improve Skin Health - And "UTI Sufferers" Are Calling It a Game Changer

Over 3,000 women have switched to Oyaโ€™s ventilated bottoms designed to manage sweat where it matters most.

Most underwear feels fine until you start moving and moisture gets trapped against your skin.ย 

Oya underwear was engineered for real life, using a patented, fast drying ventilation system that keeps the pelvic areaย cooler, dryer, and more pH balancedย throughout the day.

After testing 30+ fabric combinations, developing a patented moisture-management system, and working alongside 100+ medical professionals โ€” including OB/GYNs, dermatologists, and urologists โ€” Oya created underwear that does more than cover your body.

It protects your skin.

And for many women, itโ€™s replaced everything else they used to tolerate.

Your Skin Is Under Constant Attack (And You Can't Even See It)

โŒ Standard underwear and activewear trap heat and moisture against your skin

โŒ Harmful bacteria and fungi multiply in warm, dark, wet environments

โŒ Over time, standard underwear and activewear can disrupt your skinโ€™s microbiome, especially if theyโ€™re made with toxic chemicals like BPAs and PFAs

Thatโ€™s when irritation turns into rashes, odor, yeast infections, BV, and UTIs.

โœ… Up to 75% of women experience at least one yeast infection in their lifetime (Cleveland Clinic)

โœ… Women who sweat a lot show an increased risk for infection-linked bacteria (MDPI)

โœ… Moisture-retaining textiles (like cotton) are known to disrupt skin health (NIH)

โœ… Many performance fabrics contain toxins like PFAs or BPAs โ€” chemicals that are not required to be disclosed to consumers (NRDC)

Meaning, your body isnโ€™t failing you.

Your underwear is.

Rethinkย Sweat!

Take This 15 Minute Sweat Test!ย 

Put on a typical pair of underwear.

Move around. Workout. Sweat.

After just 15 minutes notice:

โ™จ

Heat builds up and the fabric traps sweat

โœ‡

Odor caused by sweat + bacteria buildups during movement

โ˜‚

Skin begins to feel damp, itchy, and irritated

๐– ˜

Bad bacteria and yeast multiply

โš–๏ธ

Your pH balance gets thrown off

Bacteria and yeast thrive in warm, moist, low-airflow environments โ€” exactly what standard underwear creates once you are moving.

Within 15 minutes, trapped sweat raises skin temperature, disrupts your natural pH, and gives odor- and infection-causing microbes the perfect conditions to multiply. This is why irritation, odor, and recurring infections feel so common โ€” even when hygiene is not the issue.

Most underwear wasnโ€™t designed to manage heat or sweat after it appeared.

Oya underwear is engineered to interrupt that cycle before bacteria can take over.

Our ventilated mesh creates continuous airflow, allowing heat to escape and sweat to evaporate instead of sitting against your skin. The result is a cooler, drier environment that supports your skinโ€™s natural microbiome.

For extra protection, Oya is compatible with a removable absorbent insert โ€” designed to pull moisture away from the body without sealing it in.

Dryer skin = fewer microbes = less irritation.

The result?

Your skin stays 1-2ยฐF cooler, even during long wear or high heat.

Why That "Normal" Swamp Crotch Isn't Normal At All

Why Your Skin Stays Damp

Swamp crotch isnโ€™t just about sweating โ€” itโ€™s about what your underwear does with that sweat. Some fabrics trap moisture. Others manage it. And that difference matters more than most women are ever told.

The vagina is a self-cleaning organ, meaning natural discharge is normal โ€” and often increases with sweat, heat, and hormonal changes like puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, and peri-menopause (PMC).

When tight, moisture-trapping underwear or leggings donโ€™t allow airflow or evaporation, that dampness stays pressed against warm skin. Over time, this can disrupt the vulvar and vaginal microbiome, creating conditions where yeast and bacteria are more likely to thrive (PBUK).

Thatโ€™s why ventilation and fast-drying fabrics matter โ€” not to stop what your body does naturally, but to let moisture escape so skin can stay cool, balanced, and healthy.

94% of our Oya wearers report drying faster post workout.

In a survey of 108 medical doctors, up to 94% reported improved post-workout sweat evaporation when wearing Oya bottoms.

The Irritation That Wonโ€™t Quit

You know that feeling when you change your underwearโ€ฆand the irritation still doesnโ€™t go away.

When the itching, dampness, or odor keeps coming back no matter how many products you try.

Thatโ€™s not your body โ€œbeing sensitiveโ€ โ€” itโ€™s your skin reacting to hours of trapped heat, sweat, friction, and chemicals in the one area that needs airflow the most.

Weโ€™ve normalized discomfort that shouldnโ€™t exist.

Those Infections And Rashes Aren't A Mystery

Research shows the vaginal and urinary microbiomes are closely connected and sensitive to changes in moisture, temperature, and airflow, with disruptions in the vaginal microbiome linked to urinary tract infection susceptibility (PubMed).

Moist, warm environments โ€” like those created by tight, non-breathable fabrics โ€” can make it easier for fungi such as Candida to thrive and for bacterial balance to shift, contributing to conditions associated with yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis (Apollo 24|7).

While underwear themselves donโ€™t directly cause UTIs, BV, or yeast infections, garments that trap sweat and heat can contribute to conditions that increase the risk of these issuesย (Motherly).

The Skin Damage You Can't See (Yet)

When your pelvic area stays damp for hours in toxic fabrics, the damage isnโ€™t always immediate โ€” but it is happening.

Constant moisture and heat increase friction, weaken the skin barrier, and disrupt the vaginal and vulvar microbiome. This creates an ideal environment for irritation, odor-causing bacteria, yeast overgrowth, and inflammation โ€” even if you shower regularly.

Additionally, many performance fabrics are treated with chemicals like polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and bisphenol As (BPAs). These are commonly used in activewear and may be absorbed more easily through the skin when sweat and heat are present, contributing to long-term skin and hormonal stress.

Swamp crotch isnโ€™t just uncomfortable.

Itโ€™s a signal that your skin is under chronic stress

โ€œBPAs have been shown in experimental studies to influence cancer-related cell behavior and may predispose individuals to disease at doses below reference safety thresholds.โ€ (PubMed)

Still think that swamp crotch is normal?

One customer shared:

"I took these on a 12-day camping trip with my son and his Boy Scouts troop. We didn't have access to a shower, so I wore these in my leggings and washed them in the river each day. I even safety pinned a clean insert to my underwear at night. And, after 12 days, I had no yeast infections, UTIs, or BV. Worked like a charm." - REI Review

Only During This January

Let's talk price. Yes, $40 for underwear sounds like a lot.

But what's the cost of:

Lost productivity from daily irritation?

2 unproductive hours = $60/day at average wages

Daily supplement trying to fight irritation?

$2/pill = $60/month supply

Doctor visit for each infection?

$150/doctor visit

Prescribed medication for each infection?

$20-150/prescription

One therapy session for stress & anxiety?

$150-300

Why $40 Is Less Than You're Already Losing

A pack of Oya undies costs less than two tanks of gas. And withย 15% offย right now,ย You're looking at just $34.

Our signature fabric is treated with a proprietary xylitol and silver fuze blend that is approved by the EPA. This blend costs the same to produce as a sports bra. Production cost is ~10x that of a standard pair of underwear.

For $34 they better be good and they are! Live the life of luxury! I would rather buy these than eat out for lunch 2 days a week!

The Uncomfortable Truth: Your Most Sensitive Skin Is Exposed

The skin around your vulva is some of the most absorbent on your body.

If youโ€™re careful about skincare, food, and hygiene โ€” but ignore what touches that skin for 12+ hours a day โ€” thereโ€™s a gap in protection.

Oya exists to close that gap.

If you don't close that gap, you can continue to experience:

โ™‚๏ธ

Chronic Irritation

Recurring discomfort, odor, and inflammation become normal

๐“†‡

Decreased Fertility

Endocrine disruptors and repeated infections impact menstrual and egg health

โž•

Cumulative Exposure

PFAs donโ€™t break down easily in the human body, so repeated skin contact builds up

เผ„

Damaged Skin Barrier

Friction and moisture weaken the protective layer

๐– ˜

Microbial Imbalance

Bacteria and yeast can multiply unchecked

"I recommend Oya to patients with recurring skin infections. The ventilation, absorption, and low-tox fabrics address the root causes."

โ€œThese underwear have a very light material but very resistant, so I feel secure but I feel I can breathe down there. The fit is just right and comfortable for every day or for the gym. I wore them with or without the insert and liked it in both situation. The insert is especially useful when I go to the gym and get more sweaty. And it is so easy to remove the insert from the underwear right after the gym! I really recommend them!โ€
