The Beginnings

She couldn’t find the right solution for her mom.

So she created it.

When Gaëlle saw her mother struggling with urinary leaks, she knew something had to change.

Her mom was active, elegant, and proud — but the only options available were bulky, uncomfortable, or made to look like medical devices. None of them respected her dignity as a woman.

So Gaëlle set out to build a better solution.
One that didn’t just work, but also felt good and looked beautiful.

She worked hand-in-hand with textile and health experts to create OCTIPA: leak-proof underwear that’s discreet, reusable, and designed to empower, not shame.

It took two years of development, testing, and late nights. But when her mother tried the final product and smiled in the mirror, Gaëlle knew it was all worth it.

Today, thousands of women and men trust OCTIPA every single day.
Not just because it works, but because it was created with care, respect, and love.

“I wanted my mom to feel beautiful, not ashamed.”
— Gaëlle, Co-Founder of OCTIPA
