Moodies against period poverty

Your period comes no matter what. Good period products should be there for everyone too.

But they aren't. Not even in the Netherlands: 9% of young girls sometimes can't afford tampons or pads (Plan Nederland, 2019). That means toilet paper in your underwear, wearing the same pad for too long, or just staying home.

We're doing something about it. For every 100 pairs we sell online, we donate 5 to girls and women living in period poverty.

And you can join in. Add a donation pair to your order for €7.50. We cover the rest. Through Nationaal Fonds Kinderhulp, it goes to a girl or young woman up to 21 years old.

Youth Centre BAZZZ

Moodies has donated 35 period panties to Youth Centre BAZZZ in Antwerp. The panties were distributed during an evening focused on menstrual wellness for girls and young women between 15 and 25 years old.

BAZZZ is a youth initiative that offers young people a safe place where they can be themselves and develop. Through workshops, activities, and projects, they focus on self-confidence, self-development, and well-being, among other things.

With our donation, we hope not only to introduce the girls to period underwear but, more importantly, to contribute to greater comfort and confidence during their menstruation. Because menstruation should never be something that makes you feel inhibited, insecure, or excluded.

Children of Kenya

Moodies has donated 140 period panties to the Stichting Kinderen van Kenya (Children of Kenya Foundation). With this donation, we aim to give girls more comfort, security, and freedom during their menstruation. Because menstrual products should never be an obstacle to attending school or participating in daily life.

Stichting Kinderen van Kenya has been dedicated to improving the living and learning conditions of children in Kenya since 1993. The foundation builds and supports schools and provides classrooms, teaching materials, and a safe place for education, among other things. For example, the Concordia Primary School near Mombasa grew into a school with hundreds of students. The organization runs entirely on volunteers and directly allocates donations to its projects.

We are grateful that our panties will find a new purpose through this wonderful foundation. In this way, we collectively contribute to more equal opportunities, self-confidence, and freedom for girls in Kenya.

Bruzelle x Veritas

Together with our Belgian partner Veritas, we have been able to make a donation to Bruzelle for the third consecutive year. Thanks to this donation, hundreds of Moodies period panties will reach menstruating individuals who do not always have access to them.

Bruzelle fights against period poverty daily by collecting menstrual products and distributing them free of charge and discreetly to people in vulnerable situations. With a donation like this, they can offer not only disposable products but also reusable alternatives.

As Jolien from Bruzelle beautifully puts it:

"With a donation like Moodies', we can offer reusable menstrual products in addition to our existing work with period pouches."

A large part of the donation is distributed through partners in youth work, allowing young people to discover what works comfortably for them. Because as Bruzelle says:

"This gives young people in vulnerable situations the opportunity to discover which menstrual product is comfortable and suitable for them."

At Moodies, we believe that menstruation should never be an obstacle. That's why we are proud of this collaboration with Veritas and Bruzelle, with which we collectively contribute to more freedom of choice, comfort, and dignity for menstruating individuals in Belgium.

Orange Babies x Moodies

For millions of girls worldwide, menstruation is not a minor inconvenience, but a reason to miss school. According to UNICEF, some girls miss up to 20% of their school year due to a lack of menstrual products and proper facilities. This has an impact. Less education means fewer opportunities for work, independence, and health.

Together with Orange Babies, we are committed to changing that. In countries including Zambia, Namibia, and South Africa, they are working on structural solutions: from HIV prevention and care for mothers to access to essential products and education for girls.

With Orange Babies' contribution to the donation from Moodies menstrual underwear, we ensure that girls can go to school during their menstruation. A small product with a big effect. Because education opens the door to nutrition, knowledge, and a stronger future outlook.

We believe that comfort is not only something personal but also something that creates opportunities. 💚

Donation Kinderhulp

Thanks to your support, we were able to donate another 99 pairs of panties to Kinderhulp in the fourth quarter of 2025 in January 2026. Customers added a pair of donated panties to their orders for €7.50, and we matched the remaining amount.

Kinderhulp ensures that the panties reach girls and young women up to 21 years old who live in period poverty. This provides them with a reusable alternative that lasts up to around 2 to 3 years with proper care.

Would you also like to contribute? The donation panties are available in our shop; we bundle and send all donations every three months. 💚

We were able to donate 50 pairs of Moodies pants to Zero Waste Netherlands . The pants were distributed among several clothing swaps: on November 11th in Zeewolde (in collaboration with HVC and De Basisz thrift store), on November 12th during a swap party in Lelystad with the Wereldwinkel and the Verspil Me Niet Centrum, and the remaining portion at STERK met Elkaar in Lelystad.

All events were well-attended, and the panties were given a prominent place. This way, we know they've reached people who can use them.

Green Meal Initiative x Moodies - Donation of 150 pairs of pants

Through Paulina from Social Handprint, we reached out tothe Green Meal Initiative for a donation as part of Amsterdam's 750th anniversary celebrations. The Green Meal Initiative is a smaller organization in Amsterdam Southeast that is committed to creating a world where healthy food is not only accessible but also celebrated as a cornerstone of vibrant living. "We envision communities where nutritious, sustainable food choices are the norm, and where individuals of all ages are encouraged to make informed decisions that support their well-being and the health of the planet."

Based on its mission, the Green Meal Initiative maintains close contact with mothers. According to Lissy van GMI, the panties will certainly be very helpful to girls and women who sometimes lack the budget to afford adequate menstrual care products.

Rebup International Girls' Day

This year, the Rebup Foundation (Reverse Puberty) organized another girls' day in Haarlem. For the third year running, Moodies provided 150 pairs of panties for the girls attending. All the girls also received an explanation of how menstrual underwear works and were able to ask questions. The Rebup cultural center is a safe place where girls can go after school if things are difficult at home, for a cup of tea, a listening ear, or to do their homework.

Donation Kinderhulp

Thanks to your support!
Through a special promotion, customers could purchase a pair of donation pants for €7.50. In May and June, this resulted in an impressive 239 additional pairs of pants , which we donated to the Children's Fund in July.

Kinderhulp ensures that these panties reach girls who don't always have enough resources to properly manage their menstruation. This provides them with a reusable solution that lasts up to around 2 to 3 years with proper care.

Would you also like to contribute? The donation pants are still available in our shop. Every three months, we combine all donations and forward them to Kinderhulp.

Bruzelle x Veritas

Together with our Belgian partner Veritas, we were able to make another wonderful donation of no fewer than 418 pairs of trousers to Bruzelle last May.

Jolien van Bruzelle: "With a donation like Moodies', we can offer reusable menstrual products in addition to our existing menstrual bag program. This year, we're doing this through one of our partners in Antwerp's youth work. They will be distributing a large number of menstrual underwear and swim trunks to their young people. They're committed to sustainability in the broadest sense of the word, and now they can do that with Moodies underwear. This way, young people in vulnerable situations also have the opportunity to discover which menstrual product is comfortable and suitable for them."

We donated 300 pairs of pants to the National Children's Fund . This fund helps children and young people aged 0 to 21 who are growing up in poverty in our country.

Anna: “We are very happy with it, and we ensure that it reaches the right children through affiliated organizations, so that these children no longer have to worry about menstrual products for a few years.”

We will continue our collaboration so that we can help even more children.

Rebup International Girls' Day

At several locations in Haarlem, the Rebup Foundation offers a warm and safe space for children and young people aged 7 to 17 – with or without a backpack. After school, you can stop by for a chat, a listening ear, and a cup of hot chocolate.

During the special girls' day organized by REBUP, the girls learned all about period underwear. Afterward, they got to choose their own underwear – a wonderful opportunity to ask questions, gain knowledge, and gain practical tips.

Moodies, together with our Belgian partner Veritas, launched a campaign to collect panties for this purpose. Bruzelle warmly welcomed the donation.

The Rebup Foundation is a safe place for teenagers and pre-teens, where you can go after school for a chat, a listening ear and a cup of hot chocolate.

On this girls' day we explained to the girls what menstrual underwear is, and they were all allowed to choose a pair of pants.

SINA Foundation

The Samen Is Not Alone Foundation ( SINA ) visits families and people in Amsterdam of all ages who live below or near the poverty line.

Personal help is paramount. This way they adapt the help to what someone really needs.

Moodies happily made a donation because SINA employees know who they can make happy with this for a longer period of time.

For example, a family in poverty with 3 daughters who had to go to the drugstore every month, and for which the budget simply wasn't there, has now been helped for a few years.

Social Grocer

In the presence of Amsterdam councilor Marjolein Moorman, responsible, among other things, for the poverty reduction portfolio, we donated a large collection of pants to Doreen Bor of the Social Grocer.

The Social Grocer is affiliated with the Food Bank and ensures that our pants end up with girls and ladies who sometimes have too little budget and who receive a long-term solution with our pants. They can go out again, to school, work and other social activities.
