A soft sports fabric (100% polyester) that quickly wicks away moisture, so you maintain a dry feeling.

layer 2 - terry cloth
Moodies' second layer is an absorbent terry cloth (38% viscose/37% cotton/25% polyester) that distributes moisture.
Sometimes this layer is double, or half double, depending on the absorption.
This layer has also undergone an antibacterial wash. This makes it hygienic and almost odour-free.
layer 3 - PU
The third layer of Moodies is a water-repellent fabric (polyurethane) that prevents leaks.
the layers
Moodies' gusset features 3 additional technical layers of fabric, yet it's only 2 to 3 mm thick. The combination of these layers ensures that Moodies period panties are super absorbent, leak-proof, and still provide a dry feeling for 8-10 hours, without the need for pads, tampons, or a cup. All layers are Oeko-Tex certified and PFAS-free.

Why is period underwear ideal for teenagers?
Moodies period underwear is perfect for girls who have just started their period or for girls who want to try something new. You don't have to fuss with tampons or stress about pads shifting. The underwear looks like regular underwear but offers the protection you need. This makes it less daunting or uncomfortable to have your period at school or on the go.
Many girls also appreciate that period underwear is sustainable and reusable. You wear it, wash it afterward, and it's ready for next time. This saves clutter in your bag and gives a very relaxed feeling.
Extra security during sleep and sports
For girls who are afraid of leaking during sleep, Moodies period underwear is a game-changer. You put it on before bed and can sleep soundly through the night. Also, during sports, the underwear stays perfectly in place and is comfortably airy, so you can move without worries.
does heat help period pain?
Heat can truly be a lifesaver when it comes to menstrual pain. Heat causes the blood vessels in your lower abdomen to relax, improving circulation and reducing muscle tension in the uterus. This helps to soothe cramps and bring your body to rest.
You quickly grab a heat pad for your belly, and that's not at all surprising. Heat is a natural, fast, and pleasant way to take the edge off menstrual pain. In combination with soft, comfortable Moodies period underwear, you often feel just a little freer and more relaxed.
How often should I change period underwear?
How often you need to change your Moodies period underwear depends on your flow. On average, you can wear them for 8 to 10 hours. On lighter days, you can often wear them all day, while on heavier days, it's good to change them in between.
Does your period underwear still feel dry and comfortable? Then you can continue to wear it. If you're unsure, a clean pair is always a good idea. For the night, it's best to choose a higher absorption level so you can sleep without worries.
After wearing, rinse it with cold water and then wash it as usual. Ready for the next round.
can you exercise during your period?
Absolutely! Exercising during your period is often easier than you think. In fact, physical activity can actually help alleviate symptoms like cramps and a heavy feeling in your stomach. Exercising boosts your blood circulation, which relaxes your muscles and often makes you feel more energetic.
Moodies period underwear is super handy for this because it stays in place, doesn't chafe, and frees you from period leak stress while exercising. Whether you're running, dancing, gymnastics, or playing soccer, it gives you the freedom to just do what you want.
If you want to swim during your period, that's also possible, of course. With period swimwear, you can go into the water worry-free, without tampons or other hassle. This way, you'll never have to skip a pool or the sea again just because you're on your period.

washing instructions for menstrual underwear
to wash
Wash your Moodies before you wear them. This is very important. You can compare the absorbent fabric in the gusset to a towel: if you don't wash it, it won't absorb moisture.
to rinse
Rinse them out! Once you've worn your Moodies, rinse them under the tap or take them with you into the shower before putting them in the wash. Do not soak the briefs in water! Then hang them on the edge of the laundry basket until you do laundry again.
40 degrees was
Wash at max 40º . Together with your other laundry. Use regular detergent or ecological detergent, but no fabric softener (Please note that most washing pods also contain fabric softener). Instead of fabric softener you can use organic natural vinegar. Spinning is no problem.
to hang
Do not tumble dry. Hang your briefs to dry. It's best not to tumble dry your Moodies, as this can cause the technical fabrics in the gusset to lose their effectiveness.

Sometimes, after a few months, your panties may need a thorough overhaul . This is especially true if you occasionally notice your panties leaking more easily, or if they're starting to smell a bit more.
A more thorough cleaning every three months will ensure that the Moodies last as long as possible , you can prevent unpleasant odors and everything stays hygienic and clean .
