  • Prevent typical menstrual problems with menstrual underwear

    Sanitary towels that shift, tampons that don't fit comfortably during exercise and stains from leaking into your bedding. Your period is annoying enough. Prevent these problems: replace your sanitary towels and tampons for menstrual underwear. Very relaxing for sleeping, practical for sports and no more stress if you forget to change. View our range of washable menstrual underwear and choose your favorite style.

    What is menstrual underwear?

    Disposable sanitary towels and tampons are a thing of the past. And you're not a fan of a cup? There is now another sustainable alternative. Choose comfort and convenience with menstrual underwear. You wash it, hang it out and put it back on. It's that simple. And all without the fear of leakage and the stress of forgetting to change.

  • How often should you change menstrual underwear?

    We use a rule of thumb for this: on your light to medium days you could wear the menstrual underwear all day or night, without changing menstrual underwear in between. Put on clean menstrual pants in the morning and before you go to sleep. Do you have a heavy menstrual day? Then choose menstrual pants with a high absorbency, change once extra or use an extra tampon just to be safe.

How does menstrual underwear work?

With our period underwear you are ready for 8 to 10 hours. You can get through the day and night without leaks, odors and wetness. And above all: with our underwear for your period you will no longer experience stress. Our menstrual underwear, approximately 2 mm thick, consists of 4 different layers, all made of OEKO-TEX fabric:

  • Layer 1: this layer of the period panties is in contact with your skin. This layer consists of a nice soft sports fabric, allows moisture to pass through easily and dries quickly
  • Layer 2: this absorbent layer of the period underwear is in the middle of the menstrual underwear. This is a technical fabric that feels like terry cloth, which absorbs and disperses moisture. This fabric has undergone an antibacterial wash, which makes it hygienic and hardly releases any odor
  • Layer 3: the third layer of our period underwear is a waterproof fabric that prevents you from leaking. This fabric is waterproof yet breathable. You can compare it with a thin rain jacket (without PFAS)
  • Layer 4: The outer layer of the menstrual underwear is made of bamboo instead of cotton. Cotton requires much more water during production. This makes the pants even more durable.

frequently asked questions about menstrual underwear

What exactly are moodies and how do they work?

Moodies are underwear that can collect menstrual blood and light urine loss, so you no longer have to use sanitary towels, tampons or other means of collection. You can wear the pants all day or night before having to change if you have an average loss of urine or blood. This is different for everyone, so try it at home on a quiet day to see how this works for you.

Moodies uses technical fabrics in the crotch that absorb and disperse moisture and ensure that you do not leak through. There is a fine sports fabric against your skin that allows moisture to pass through easily and ensures that it feels dry.

These are all breathable fabrics, which have an antibacterial wash, which means that hardly any odor is released and it is very natural and hygienic.

My first moodies, how do I start?

Start by washing the moodies at a maximum of 30 degrees before wearing your moodies. This is really important to activate the absorption in the crotch (compare it with a new towel that does not dry properly even if it has not yet been washed).

And then hang the moodies to dry (never in the dryer).

If this is your first time wearing menstrual underwear, we advise you to wear it when you have a quiet day at home, so that you can get used to it and check whether you have chosen the right absorption.

And if you still find it difficult to switch, just start with moody nights. No more dirty sheets, and no waste!

Do moodies also work during heavy periods?

If you suffer from very heavy menstruation, we advise you to use moodies in combination with, for example, a cup or a tampon. We also advise you to purchase our heavy or heavy-overnight absorption.

We would also like to point out that it is wise to consult a doctor if you have extremely heavy menstruation. This could prevent complications later in life.
