Periods can be a challenging time of the month, largely due to issues surrounding sanitary products. The dread of being caught without a tampon or sanitary towel, discomfort during use, and the recurring cost of purchasing more each cycle can be stressful. Reusable, sanitary underwear can provide significant relief in these areas.
They are washable, comfortable, leak-proof, and easy to incorporate into daily routines, making them a godsend for anyone dealing with leakage issues or simply desiring less hassle during their period. WUKA claims to be the first period underwear brand in the UK, aiming to entirely replace disposable tampons and sanitary towels. Currently, they are offering a fantastic deal with a 3-for-2 offer on its Ultimate Collection, with prices from £17.99.
WUKA’s Ultimate underwear is made from luxurious Tencel fabric and organic cotton. It is highly absorbent, comfortable, and breathable and provides protection against leakages. A variety of absorbencies, styles, and sizes, ranging from XXS to 6XL, are available. Free shipping is also offered across the collection, reports Wales Online. Regular underwear, sleepwear, and swimwear are all included in the range.
At Trustpilot, WUKA boasts an impressive 4.4 out of 5 rating from 820 reviews to date. A satisfied customer left a five-star review, reading: “I have been using these for the last five months. They are an absolute game changer for me. No leaks at all, which means I sleep all through the night. They are super comfy and pretty to look at. Easy to wash. I have heavy and medium ones and I will never use pads again which saves me money in the long run and the environment. I keep telling my friends about them. Such a brilliant idea.”
Another happy shopper said: “I bought these for my niece, who is 13, and they have proven to be a godsend. I went for the heavy flow to be on the safe side. No more leakage-ruined underwear or pads. When you add up the cost of sanitary wear and replacing spoilt underwear I think they are good value. They have definitely proven to have had a positive impact on her during her period. Also the customer service from WUKA is of the highest standard – they have gone out their way to provide outstanding customer service. I would definitely recommend.”
A third shared their experience, commenting: “My teenage daughter is a complete convert now and has enough pairs to last the whole period, so I needed to buy more washbags to keep them all tidy. She loves her WUKA’s, especially for playing rugby, but as a fidgety sleeper they’re extra secure at night which means less accidents and sheet changing for me! Order was processed and delivered very promptly as usual.”
However, there were some mixed feelings about the products, with one person noting an issue with fit: “I really wanted to like them because they had great reviews and are really comfortable to wear. But the first time wearing them I had a feeling the padding didn’t come high enough at the front and I might leak and I did. Gutted.”
Meanwhile, another described their positive outcome in glowing terms, “Life changing,” and their review elaborated: “These period pants are honestly the most comfy things I’ve ever worn. I’ve been unhappy with tampons for ages but didn’t know what other options there were. I have 6 pairs of period pants now and I will never go back to tampons. They are so convenient, I wear one pair for 12 hours on my heaviest days, which as a teacher is ideal as I never used to get time to change my tampons and I was always worrying about leaks.”
Other period-focused underwear brands are available, such as Modibodi which currently has a flash sale on across multiple ranges. There’s also a wide range of comfortable period pants available at M&S. For a 3-for-2 offer on the Ultimate Collection visit the WUKA site.
