Looking back on two years of Moodies
What a ride! Moodies has been around for two years now and today, November 12, we launched our webshop 2 years ago. In this short period we have experienced and learned an incredible amount. It was an exciting challenge to launch Moodies in 2021, especially because menstrual underwear was still relatively unknown in the Netherlands at the time.

- Innovative Category: Moodies introduces a completely new category with the combination of underwear and menstrual products.

- Inspiring Content: Moodies offers a platform for creating compelling content around menstruation.
- Overcoming Barriers: It has been a challenging but exciting journey to bring this product to girls and women, and I am grateful for the support of my partner Miguel, without whom I would not have dared to do this, and whose knowledge has accelerated the process brought.
