The Essential Kit

Each Mme L'Ovary daytime panty includes 3 removable pads that keep you dry all day long, using the same panty. Removable pads can be changed throughout the day, according to your "flow".

In other words, 1 Mme L'Ovary daytime panty is the equivalent of 3 menstrual panties of another brand.

It's a practical and affordable advantage, signed Mme L'Ovary.

Yes, absolutely.

Mme L'Ovary is the menstrual cup's best friend: and its ideal addition (or even a replacement!)

Our panties allow you to choose the times when your want to let your menstrual cycle flows naturally, without having a "foreign object" holding the blood inside (which can be liberating and help reduce menstrual cramps).

In addition, even if you wear the cup continuously, it is good to have an alternative for the night (and give your body a "break").

According to Health Canada and several gynecologists, the menstrual cup should not remain inside the vagina for more than 4 to 6 hours. Something to keep in mind!

The best answer is: it depends...

Your menstruation duration

Your flow (light, moderate, heavy, very heavy?)

Your lifestyle (work 9 to 5 at the office or at home?)

Your lifestyle habits (wash as you go, or do 1 load at the end of the week?)

Your budget

If you don't know where to start, we recommend the BASIC KIT (our most popular!) which includes 2 daytime panties and 1 nighttime panty. This will allow you to have a basic rotation for a moderate flow cycle lasting about 3 to 5 days.

They have the same life span as your "normal" panties, but the difference is that you'll wear them once a month (or maybe two times if you wear them twice in the same week).

Hand-washing increases their life span. If you take good care of them, they should be effective... for many years!

Mme L'Ovary washes like normal panties, except that you have to do 1 more step: rinse with cold water. It's as simple as that! See the maintenance guide for details

Strong odours are produced when blood comes into contact with synthetic materials such as plastic. The chemical reaction between our blood and the chemical components contained in sanitary pads or tampons is therefore responsible for the sometimes strong or unpleasant odours. We must not above all, associate our menstrual blood with foul-smelling garbage & embarrassing waste!

When blood comes into contact with natural fibres such as cotton, the smell is much more mild and neutral.

Therefore, we say that odours are not to be dreaded when you're wearing Mme L'Ovary.

Yes, washing your panties before you use them for the first time is always preferable (due to handling during the production process and placing them in the carrier bags).

Yes, it is. We are proud to announce that feminine menstrual products (including Mme L'Ovary's products) are now TAX-FREE in Canada.

For further information, here is the law on the DEAXATION OF FEMALE HYGIENE PRODUITS:

"As of July 1, 2015, the GST and QST will no longer apply to products marketed exclusively for feminine hygiene. The supply of sanitary pads, tampons, sanitary belts, menstrual cups, or other similar products will therefore be zero-rated."

We offer removable 100% organic cotton pads,they are not dyed and are made specifically for women who are sensitive to dyes.

We are very careful about the fabrics we choose, but they are not organic. A 100% organic panty would cost more and our goal is to make it accessible to as many women as possible! We plan to offer a 100% organic option in the future.

No, we made a choice not to use chemical processes that treat tissue with metal nanoparticles.

Unlike other brands of menstrual panties, we prefer to avoid these procedures because there are no studies yet that prove that there is no risk to consumer health.

The panties are made of 94% cotton and 6% lycra. For women who are very sensitive and have skin irritation related to dyes in underwear, we recommend opting for our dye-fee removable pads made of 100% organic cotton.

Mme L'Ovary, is a Quebec-based initiative with a commitment to being ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE and ETHICAL.

We design everything in Quebec, and then we go to the city of Medellin in Colombia Medellin in Colombia (nicknamed the "capital of panties" due to the expertise of its seamstresses!),for the manufacturing that is managed and supervises ourselves on site, in a workshop that meets ethical, social, and environmental standards.

Each removable Mme L'Ovary pad inserted into the panties absorbs as much as a regular sanitary pad.

Worn alone, the panty also has an absorption capacity equivalent to a panty liner, which adds an extra layer of protection.

Yes, of course! We deliver to North America and Europe.
