Founder Iris (28) discovered why panty liners, pads, and so-called "leak-proof" underwear still leave you feeling wet and clammy — and designed her own 4-layer brief that draws moisture inwards

You've been seeing a lot of her lately: Iris, founder of Maysa, and her own test subject for many years.

 

From her first period, she dealt with it every month: a flow that didn't care about anything. Leaking through at school, later at work, and definitely at night. Small enough not to talk about it with anyone, big enough to plan her life around it every month.

 

She tried everything: panty liners, sanitary pads, tampons, a tampon with a pad for extra security. But no matter what she bought, one thing remained the same: that wet, clammy feeling, all day long. Only later did she discover why, and that became the basis of her own design.

 

So she designed it herself based on one question: would you wear it if it didn't protect you? The answer had to be yes.
 

Now there's a choice for every flow, from a light day to your heaviest period.

 

2 years later, Maysa is the daily choice for 10,000+ women, and rated 4.7 by customers. Below you can read why.

1. That wet and dirty feeling turned out not to be normal; it was the product

Do you recognise this? A clean pantyliner or sanitary pad in the morning, and within a few hours, that damp, cold feeling again. I sometimes changed three times a day, and it still felt messy. I honestly thought that was just how it was.

 

Until I read why: pantyliners or sanitary pads RETAIN moisture, on top of a plastic layer, right against your skin. So it was never me, but how those things are designed.

 

Maysa works exactly the opposite: 4 layers that draw moisture INWARD, away from your skin, and lock it in the core. I was sceptical until I felt it: just dry. Even hours later.

2. From day one, it felt like my own underwear

2. From day one, it felt like my own underwear

This may sound minor, but for me, it made the biggest difference. No diaper-like feeling, no bulky package between my legs, just briefs I put on and then forgot about.

 

With sanitary pads, I always had that thick, rustling sensation. That "everyone can see it anyway" feeling, even though that probably wasn't the case. 

 

Maysa was the first time I put on briefs in the morning and didn't think about them again. Just underwear, which coincidentally also protects.

3. I trusted my own body again

It was only after wearing it for a while that I realized how much space it occupied in my mind. Wearing light-colored pants, having long meetings, exercising, sleeping through the night—all things I unconsciously anticipated.
 

With Maysa, it felt like I could turn off that constant alarm. No more panic checks every two hours. And that feeling of regained control was probably the biggest change for me, greater than I had expected beforehand.

4. Finally no more wet, cold feeling

4. Finally, no more wet, cold feeling

This was perhaps my biggest frustration with everything I had before. With a regular panty liner, that damp, cold feeling lingered all day long... very uncomfortable, and always present.
 

Maysa immediately draws moisture away from your skin to the core. It's the first time I've genuinely felt dry, for 8 to 12 hours. And no odor to worry about.

5. Truly invisible under anything I wore

5. Truly invisible under everything I wore

I had almost resigned myself to the fact that tight clothing was simply out of the question during my period. But that turned out to be completely unnecessary.
 

The brief is so thin that you can't see it under leggings or tight trousers, so no lines, no bulge, or anything noticeable.
 

For the first time, I didn't have to check in the mirror first to see if it was visible.

6. After months, I no longer buy pads or tampons

And this convinced me it wasn't a coincidence: it didn't just work for one day, but cycle after cycle. From my own experience, I was quite skeptical, because leak-proof underwear that also felt dry sounded too good to be true.
 

But now I no longer buy disposable pads. You just wash them, they last 2 years or longer, and if they don't fit, you can easily exchange them with the Ecofriendly Fit Guarantee. I only wish I had done it cycles ago.
