I can’t belief I’m actually almost looking forward to my period days. My washed nookees ready in the closet gives me a good feeling. After so many years of tampons and single use pads full of toxins, plastic, bleach, I promised my lady parts to only expose them to non-toxic materials. And to soft, comfy fabric. Nookees fulfills all my criteria, and more. I’m not harming nature anymore, and with my purchase I contributed to ease the effects of period poverty. Nookees are way more than period panties. They support my values and I love to gift them to my favorite friends.

Ich habe vor einiger Zeit das Nookees Kit für meine Tochter gekauft. Sie hat zwar noch nicht die Periode, dennoch wollte ich sie bereits präventiv mit Nookees ausstatten, damit sie, wenn ihr Körper soweit ist, ihre Menstruation so easy wie möglich erfahren kann. Ich mag das kluge Konzept und das schlichte Design! Der Nachhaltigkeitsaspekt hinter dieser Periodenunterwäsche ist einfach unschlagbar und die Verarbeitung ist jeden Cent wert! Shipping ging super schnell und die Verpackung ist absolut toll.

Nookees has completely changed my period week for the better. I almost look *forward* to it and I'm not joking! The adorable kit feels like gift basket from the goddess of female power. They are extremely comfortable, hygienic, easy to use and easy to clean, completely leak-proof, and even cute!! And when you know Janina and her team and how much they care for women's health and wellbeing, it's a totally feel-good purchase too.

Seit einigen Jahren trage ich Period Pantys während meiner Periode, aber keine sitzt so gut wie die Nookees. Der Panty, in den man die Pads reinklickt, ist aus einem unfassbar weichen Material, ist hochgeschlossen und drückt nirgendwo unangenehm ein. Man kann sich super in dem Panty bewegen. Die Pads haben dieselbe Farbe wie der Panty und lassen sich super leicht im Panty befestigen. Nichts rutscht, sodass man sich beim Tragen sicher fühlt, dass das Menstruationsblut auch wirklich im Pad landet. Nach dem Waschen sieht das Pad aus wie neu.
Nicht nur die Nookees begeistern mich, sondern auch Janina und wie sie unterschiedliche Projekte unterstützt. Das Thema Menstruation und Hygiene braucht mehr Aufmerksamkeit und dank Janina bekommt es das auch. DANKE!

I bought the heavy absorbency and they were able to absorb more blood than a disposable pad even! Also the wider design with the wings is fantastic because it prevents leaks (and also makes it so the panties don’t have to be as tight around your legs). Plus the fabric is nice and soft and can be washed on hot. If you have a very heavy flow and are especially concerned about leaking I would get the splash pads, but these really do have a high level of absorbency. I also find the Nookees pads feel a lot more breathable than a disposable pad. Also washing was easy and surprisingly my pads dried in one day without any staining.

I have tried A LOT of period panties and nontoxic period products in general and Nookees are by far the best! (Actually I even think Nookees is better than conventional pads/tampons too even if you don’t consider the toxins).
First off they are SO comfortable - the design is perfect - the panties are a nice fit (not too tight) and I like the high waist on the panties too. The panties and pads are soft too! Other period panties are tighter around the leg to prevent leaking but instead the nookees pads are wider to prevent leaking. (This is also nice because when the panties are less tight the pad isn’t pushed up against your body)
The absorbency of the heavy pads is fantastic! In my experience other brands say they have high absorbency but I actually bleed through them fairly quickly because when all the blood is concentrated in one spot, they cannot contain it. But I only bled through nookees after about 6 hours during my heaviest bleed which is about twice (or 3 times) as absorbant as heavy disposable pads! Also the wings on the pad are brilliant - I was sitting in a meeting feeling like blood was coming out fast enough that it was probably overflowing off the sides of the pad but when I went to the bathroom to check, it was still contained by the pad thanks to the wings! Also I like that the pads can be washed on hot because I have trouble keeping my other reuseable pads/period panties from smelling (have to soak them in vinegar etc). So basically I think Nookees fixed all the annoyances I have with other period products. Oh also - the fact that you can change the pad without changing the underwear is very helpful.

Nookees überraschen in jeglicher Hinsicht. Sie sind praktisch, sehr komfortabel und man merkt erst beim Tragen, wie durchdacht sie sind. Sie sind bis ins kleinste Detail liebevoll ausgearbeitet und überzeugen. Auch wenn die Farbe gewöhnungsbedürftig ist, sie ist perfekt: Erstens kann man sie unter hellen Hosen tragen und zweitens, ja das findet ihr am besten selbst raus! ;-)
Ich werde wieder bestellen und hoffe, dass Janina mit ihren Produkten, die sie für uns alle mit solch einer Hingabe und Liebe gemacht hat, noch ganz viele Erfolge feiern darf.
DANKESCHÖN!

First of all, why was this not invented earlier?
I am a frequent user of washable period products since ages and tried nearly every available product on the market.
Never liked using disposable pads and tampons, because it felt and smelled awkward. Cups were a thing but not really practical for me.
When the first washable period product entered the market it gave me huge freedom to live with my period as natural as possible. Nookees have a strange colour, but I guess it makes sense, because this colour is kind of invisible when worn. And the material is so comfy.
I have bought 2 pants and 6 pads and this will bring me through my medium to lighter days. Nookees are also Yoga proof :) So far, I love it :) For the night I wish that longer pads would be available, until then I prefer period panties for my nights.
Big Pro for Nookees compared to period panties is that I do not have all my ass padded with several layes of material and I do not need to change my complete underwear when change is needed I just exchange the used pad and click in a new and fresh one.
