Looking back on two years of Moodies

What a ride! Moodies has been around for two years now, and today, November 12th, we launched our webshop two years ago. In this short time, we've experienced and learned an incredible amount. Launching Moodies in 2021 was an exciting challenge, especially because period underwear was still relatively unknown in the Netherlands at the time.

Why I Fell in Love with Moodies

Find out why I'm head over heels for our product:

      1. Innovative Category: Moodies introduces a completely new category with the combination of underwear and menstrual products.
      2. Sustainability first: We strive to continuously deliver more sustainable products .
      3. Inspiring Content: Moodies offers a platform for creating engaging content around menstruation.
      4. Overcoming Barriers: It has been a challenging yet exciting journey to bring this product to girls and women, and I am grateful for the support of my partner Miguel, without whom I could not have done this, and whose knowledge has accelerated my progress.
