Unlike menstrual cups that sit vertically and can create suction pressure, THE DISC flows with your body's natural shape, sitting horizontally for a truly comfortable fit. It is inserted like a tampon, but collects rather than absorbs your flow. And the most magic part: It empties itself while you're peeing! No more annoying cleaning of period cups in public bathrooms...

Meet THE DISC – a product born from our own search for the perfect period solution during active days. While our nookees PADS are perfect for everyday comfort, we knew we needed something different for activities like surfing, swimming etc. After trying everything available on the market, from cups that created uncomfortable suction to various alternatives, we finally found what we were looking for.

No more dealing with complex folding techniques or suction effects – THE DISC slides in smoothly and catches your flow without complications. Whether you're already using our PADS for everyday period care or just starting your sustainable period journey – THE DISC is here to complement your flow during those active moments when you need something different.

How to click with THE DISC:

1. Fold: With clean hands, create a figure 8 shape by gently pinching THE DISC.

2. Insert: Guide THE DISC in horizontally and position it behind your pubic bone. You'll know it's right when you can't feel it anymore.

3. Remove & repeat: THE DISC can stay in for up to 8-12 hours. When it's time for a change, hook your finger and gently guide it out. Give it a proper wash, then reinsert. Simple as that.

Before your first click: Clean hands, clean disc - that's the way to start. At the beginning and end of your period, sanitise THE DISC by giving it a 4-5 minute treatment in boiling water (but no longer than 7 minutes). After each use during your bleeding, start with a cold water rinse to keep it looking fresh, then wash with warm water and a mild cleanser. Rinse thoroughly and you're set to use it straight again.

* With proper care, the average lifespan of our products is about five years, that's how we calculate the "per period" price.

Other option: measure your hips and follow our measurements: XS (hip: 89-94cm), S (hip: 95-97 cm), M (hip: 98-104 cm), L (hip: 105-108 cm), XL (hip: 109-118 cm), XXL (hip: 119-124 cm).

THE DISC:

Size S-M: 65mm/ 50ml

Size M-L: 70mm/ 60ml

Care Instructions

nookees are handmade with a lot of love. To take good care of them, we recommend the following treatment:

THE PANTY:

  • 40°C (in a laundry net)
  • don't use softener or bleach
  • hang dry
  • wash before first use

THE PAD:

  • 60°C (in a laundry net)
  • don't use softener or bleach
  • hang dry
  • wash before first use

THE POUCH:

  • 40°C
  • don't use softener or bleach
  • hang dry
  • wash before first use

As our fabrics are just rad, you could wash THE PADS even with 95*C. But a.) you don't need to wash them that hot and b.) it's not good for the environment. So we personally prefer to rinse THE PADS in cold water after use. On laundry day nookees wander into the machine and get tumbled with the rest of any clothes. Hang them dry (with the hanger of THE POUCH) and use them again. And again. And again. For years.

THE DISC:

Clean hands, clean disc - that's the way to start. At the beginning and end of your period, sanitise THE DISC by giving it a 4-5 minute treatment in boiling water (but no longer than 7 minutes). After each use during your bleeding, start with a cold water rinse to keep it looking fresh, then wash with warm water and a mild cleanser. Rinse thoroughly and you're set to use it straight again.

Finally Period Underwear I LOVE wearing!

I’be tried just about every period product on the market and the underwear solutions were very underwhelming—they weren’t comfortable and the fabrics start to smell over time. As a fitness professional, I need something I can wear during workouts that won’t be a distraction or worry.

I had all but given up on period underwear and then I found nookies. I’m still a cup girl for my main period protection, but I love wearing nookies for unexpected leaks and to give my body a break at night. They are so comfortable to sleep in and with hassle-free washing, they withstand daily use during my flow.

THANK YOU 🙏 so much for creating a product that works for women!!!

Happy Period!

Ich bin unfassbar dankbar, dass ich auf nookees gestoßen bin. 
Der Stoff von der Hose ist sooo weich und liegt sehr angenehm auf der Haut. Auch nach mehreren Waschgängen bei 60°C bleibt der weiche Stoff und das tolle Tragegefühl erhalten. Mit den eingegclickten und wechselbaren Pads fühlt man sich echt sicher und es läuft nichts aus.

Dank nookees kann ich mich auf meine Periode endlich freuen, weil alles sitzt, alles passt und nichts ausläuft. Vor allem aber fühlt man sich rundum wohl, weil hier auf Chemie verzichtet wird!

Happy Period!

Super angenehm

Das Tragegefühl ist super angenehm, kein schwitziges Windelpaket wie bei anderen Produkten. Es riecht nicht, das Click System hält alles super an Ort und Stelle und die Goldfarbe ist super. Farbe statt verstecken.
Für mich könnten die Pads hinter kürzer und lieber vorner länger sein, aber das ist sicher individuell verschieden benötigt. Dafür liebe ich die Flügel, welche seitlich alles abdecken/abfangen. Seeehr gut bedacht, wo viele Periodenslips bei mir seitlich ausgelaufen sind. Dieses System und Material sollte Standard werden und gehört in jeden Schrank einer gesundheitsbewussten Frau 💓

Liebe alles daran

Ich habe sehr lange überlegt, in Nookees zu investieren und wusste irgendwann ist es soweit. Da meine bisherige Periodenunterwäsche nun ausgedient hat, habe ich mir 2 Sets gekauft. Einmal High Waist und einmal Low - ich liebe beide. Ich liebe auch die Pads in allen drei Stärken. Die Panty habe ich in XS, normalerweise trage ich S. Das wäre mir hier zu groß, XS passt perfekt, schnürt 0,0 ein und ist einfach nur super bequem. Es wird definitv noch eine dritte (oder auch 4.) High Waist hier einziehen, damit ich nicht in Wasch-Stress komme. Ich möchte keine andere Periodenunterwäsche nutzen, es ist so viel angenehmer, dass man einfach das Pad wechseln kann und alles organic, non toxic und ohne Plastik ist!! Highly recommend!

Tolles Produkt

Ich liebe nookees, endlich ein angenehmes Gefühl während der Periode. So eine tolle Idee, herausnehmbare Pads, die ich jederzeit wechseln kann. Zudem ist das Material so angenehm, gerade jetzt im Sommer. Bin super Happy, dass ich nookees für mich gefunden habe.

Sehr bequem

Die Nookees sind sehr bequem, die Hösschen passen gut und die Pads sind auch gut zu handhaben. Leider ist die light Variante recht kurz, sodass zumindest bei mir das Blut ganz am vorderen Rand aufgesaugt wird, dadurch fühlt es sich nicht ganz so sicher an. Da die Pads für mehr Blutfluss maximal insgesamt 2cm länger sind löst sich dadurch wahrscheinlich das Problem auch nicht und die zusätzlichen Lagen benötige ich eigentlich nicht. Es funktioniert trotzdem, ich muss einfach vermehrt darauf achten, dass die Pads vorne bleiben.

Liebe Ramona, von Herzen Danke für Dein Feedback und whoop whoop wir haben auch schon die Lösung parat: Seit ein paar Tagen sind die PADS als 'front-version' in der SPLASH Variante im Shop erhältlich. 5cm extra Schutz an der vorderen Seite - so kann garantiert nichts mehr drüber laufen. Power to the period!

Super bequem!

Trage sie nun seit drei Tagen und bin Mega zufrieden. Sind um einiges bequemer als meine vorherigen Periodpants.

Ich liebe die Stoffe und den Tragecomfort. Bisher die beste Periodenunterwäsche und ich habe VIELE ausprobiert! Selbst bei starker Blutung halten die Pads.
Für mich sind die Einlagen vorne (zum Venushügel) leider 1-2 cm zu kurz, weshalb ich sehr hoffe, dass es zukünftig eine „long version“ gibt :)

Tolle Periodenunterwäsche

Ich finde diese Periodenunterwäsche außerordentlich intelligent und auch sehr gut gefertigt. Sie fühlen sich sehr angenehm an und können sehr gut gewaschen werden und riechen dadurch nicht wie andere Periodenunterwäsche. Ich frage mich nur weshalb die Flügel etwas über der Unterhose herausragen. Möglicherweise um mehr Blut aufzufangen? Ggf könnte es Sinn machen wenn man die Flügel unten mit einem Knopf zumachen könnte, damit sie nicht herausragen?

LOVE

This is what I have been missing! I never really was happy with my prior period products. I have been using period panties for a while but knowing the materials they are made of had me looking for an alternative. I'm so happy I found nookees. Non-toxic and it definitely gets the job done. Plus the click-in system is super handy and works great and I love that I don't have to change the entire panty every time. I absolutely recommend!

E
Elisabeth M.T.

The nookees definitely solve the problem I had: reusable pads do not stay put and period panties are too unhygienic and difficult to change plus expensive if you need many. I am also very happy about the fit and comfort wearing them.

Best and most beautiful ones I’ve had!

One thing I realized is, after washing the pants the first time they had tiny balls of fabric inside between the layers… like little corns of sand - but didn’t really do anything to the comfort or anything - just they didn’t look 100% fresh anymore if you look super close! ;)

But that is really such a small thing - otherwise they are truly perfect!!!

Thank you!

I should have gotten it sooner!

After two pregnancies the cup didn’t work for me anymore, so I was looking for a disc made in EU and landed on nookees. It immediately fit, great material, I can’t feel it when it’s in, and I had no leaks at all! I wonder why I didn’t switch to it sooner!

So much better than a menstrual cup

Before I used a menstrual cup for years and now I got the disc and it has been such a good investments. I hardly notice that I'm on my period and it is easy to empty even on the way. I feel very safe with it.

Daniela P.
Love it!

Finally a breathable and comfortable period product! I love that it doesn't move around and I can wash it hot. Definitely recommend :) if I could one suggestion I would love for them to be a bit longer in the front. Other than that 10/10!

Uncomplicated

I absolutely love how uncomplicated it is to place the disc in the right position (as compared to a cup). It worked directly from the beginning on. Furthermore it looks nice and feels comfortable (can’t feel it any more when in the right position. Will recommend it!

Unfortunately the disc doesn’t work for me. Blood always finds its way underneath it and nothing stays inside the disc . Wearing it is comfortable so.

We are so sorry to hear. From our experience, if the DISC doesn't work it's mostly inserted incorrectly. We encourage you to take your time for the first try and keep in mind that you have to tuck your DISC behind the pubic bone so it can sit horizontally. If inserted correctly out of hundreds of user cases, it works perfectly.
Hopefully this encourages you to give it another try...

Unglaublich - man spürt sie nicht

Ich habe über mehrere Jahre verschiedene Menstrustionscups genutzt. Die Dinger sind nicht schlecht - aber wenn man jetzt den Vergleich mit der Disc hat, liegen sie Meilen zurück.
Ich habe die Cups (egal welcher Hersteller) immer irgendwie unangenehm gespürt.
Bei der Disc ist es tatsächlich so, dass Du sie NICHT spürst - es ist herrlich!
Wichtig für den Anfang ist: Zeit nehmen. Nicht verzweifeln, wenn s nicht gleich klappt. Ich habe auch mehrere Tage gebraucht, bis ich den richtigen Sitz hatte, und das Blut IN die Disc läuft.
Für mich war der Anwendungshinweis wichtig: waagerecht einführen, Richtung Steissbein schieben.
Seitdem es klappt, möchte ich die Disc nicht mehr wegdenken. Sie ist angenehm weich, passt sich meinem Körper an, ich spüre nichts - einfach super! DANKE!

Love Nookees!

Super happy with the product and my purchase! Living in US, I was concerned that sizing would be different. I went by my measurements and measured 1 size larger than what I normally wear. I should have gone with my normal size, as the next size up was too big! I can make it work, but will probably be making another purchase for a better fit. Order your typical size, ladies!

High Quality, Excellent

I was worried when I received the XS undies. It looked way too big, but it actually fits nicely and is high waisted which is probably why it seemed so large. The high waisted makes it super comfy for this time of month and it is a great material.

The pads are super nice, excellent quality. I love that they snap-in and stay in place. Also, it really does hold a lot!! I have a heavy period and wore the super at night. When I woke up it seemed like nothing was on the pad and I thought maybe my cycle was a bit lighter during that night. It wasn’t until I went to wash out the pad that I realized how much it soaked up.

Overall great product - Not just a good idea, but beautifully executed.

So much better than the cup

I tried the cup several times but did not get along with it. Gave the disc a try and it is such a difference. I’m also using the nookees panties already for a while so now it’s a super combo!

a new era

where has this disc been all my life? I'm so glad I learned about this new way to go through my period thanks to the nookees newsletter. After experiencing the vacuum effect of the cup. I didn't want to use them again. The disc is so much better. It makes me happy. I'm already telling all my friends. I love the affordable price. And the entire look and feel of the disc. AAAND, a new era will start now - hello non-messy period sex. Can't wait.

  • Are nookees organic?

    nookees THE PADS are made out of 100% organic cotton. The lyocel fibre we use for THE PANTIES is made out of cellulose, a natural component of wood. It’s biodegradable and at the end of its life cycle, the fibers can re-enter the eco-system.

  • Why are nookees period panties more expensive than other brands?

    We only use highly certified materials, and pay everybody involved in the nookees process (from the organic cotton farmer until the person sending out your order) a fair and respectful loan.

Collapsible content

How do nookees work?

nookees are made out of two clicking awesome components: THE PAD and THE PANTY.

You click the reusable PADS with the button system into the PANTY and use them. When it’s time for a change, just remove the PADS with the (un)click of a button, put everything into the laundry (up to 60°C) and use it again. No moving, no leaking, just comfortable safety during your period.

How many pairs do I need?

The KIT comes with one pair of nookees PANTIES and three PADS in different absorbency levels. Refill packages contain either one PANTY or three PADS of your choice. Usually you should be fine with one KIT and one PANTY/ PADS refill.

how can i wash nookees?

As we are only using amazing robust and of course sustainable materials (most of them are even organic, IVN Best), there is no special (laundry) treatment needed. Wash THE PADS hot (60°C), THE PANTY 40°C, short, or long, by hand or machine. You can even put THE PADS into the dryer or under the iron. But if you ask us: better skip that last part to avoid inefficient use of electricity and the fabrics to be overused…

We personally prefer to rinse THE PADS in cold water after use (use it afterwards to water your plants, and they will jump for joy!). On laundry day nookees wander into the machine and get tumbled with the rest of any clothes. Hang them dry (with the hanger of the pouch) and use them again. And again. And again…

what size do I need?

Just choose the regular size of underwear you normally use. If you’re in doubt you can measure your hips and follow our measurements: XS (hip: 89-94cm), S (hip: 95-97 cm), M (hip: 98-104 cm), L (hip: 105-108 cm), XL (hip: 109-118 cm), XXL (hip: 119-124 cm).

Our nookees PANTY is very comfortably designed, so if you're in between two sizes, just go for the smaller one.

  • Combine it

    THE PAD and THE PANTY. nookees period underwear comes with two components. Double safety, double flexibility.

  • Click it

    3 little buttons - and every bloody thing will be alright. Go for THE PAD you fancy and click it inside of THE PANTY.

  • X-Change it

    Nothing can move. But everything can change. Use it - wash it - and do it all again. Your new PAD is just 3 clicks away.
