WUKA changed the game when it launched its range of period underwear and leakproof designs in 2017.
Over the years, WUKA has expanded its range to include swimwear, leggings and even supplements, alongside its iconic protective underwear.
I have been fortunate enough to trial a variety of WUKA’s designs over the years, and my personal favourite is, of course, the absorbent knickers.
I alternate between the style depending on my outfit, needs and flow, but I mostly come back to the Seamless Midi Brief. Now, you know my love for seamless Bridget Jones-inspired undies, but the WUKA Perform Seamless Midi Brief are a level up.
These briefs offer support, coverage, and comfort no matter how heavy my period is or what day in my cycle I am on.
WUKA Perform Seamless Midi Brief
Crafted from recycled nylon and elastane, with a cotton gusset, these briefs provide comfort, coverage and protection. The seamless design is ideal for everyday, and evening wear, as it offers no VPL for a discreet finish. Available in light, medium and heavy absorbencies, as well as sizes extra small to 6XL.
WUKA’s designs are all discreet enough to wear with any outfit and keep you protected from any leakages, but the Perform Seamless Midi Brief are even more discreet, in my opinion, as they prevent any pesky VPL’s, which are my pet peeve.
I have tried almost every sanitary product, but in recent years I have found tampons particularly uncomfortable, and fear what toxins I could be putting in my body, especially in such a delicate area.
Pads can slip and slide away from the gusset of your knickers, and I worry the winged designs can be seen in certain clothes. That, or they chafe against my inner thigh.
Yet, all of those issues can be avoided with a pair of trusty period pants.
At first I relied on WUKA’s period pants for home wear and to sleep in, purely because I wasn’t the most trusting of its absorbency, but now they’re the most reliable pair of undies I own.
WUKA’s period pants offer different absorbency levels to suit every wearer. I typically rely on medium flow, but most creations come in light and heavy absorbency levels, too.
While I rely on period pants for when aunt Flo comes knocking, they’re suitable for those who deal with incontinence or postpartum leakages.
This particular design has been crafted from recycled nylon and elastane with a breathable cotton gusset. This fabric blend means the briefs are utterly weightless and ultra gentle on the delicate nether regions, which are even more sensitive at that time of the month.
I hate how some pads can make you feel itchy, but this gentle fabric combats that discomfort. I’d even go as far as to say these briefs offer a second skin feel.
The briefs are fitted with an absorbent hi-tech moisture barrier, which is moisture wicking and odour-free. As the midi-rise design have a fuller-coverage design, it offers high back protection to prevent any rogue leakages, and is comfortable around the stomach.
For me this is key, as there’s nothing worse than clothing digging in when your tummy is bloated and tender.
But just because the gusset has built-in layers, doesn’t mean it’s bulky – actually quite the opposite. Plus, they are completely odourless.
You can wear WUKA’s period pants for up to eight hours, but you know your flow best, so you may decide to shop one of every absorbency level to see you through the week.
The Perform Seamless Briefs are available in sizes XS to 6XL, plus you can purchase one pair, a three pack or a pack of five.
WUKA initially advised washing the stained undies in cold water before putting them in the washing machine, but technology has been developed, so now they are safe to wash on a 40-degree wash.
In short, WUKA’s period pants make me feel comfortable, I no longer need worry about being caught out during my period, especially if it kicks in when I wasn’t expecting it to, and they’re discreet.
I would strongly recommend these briefs to everyone: from young adults starting their period for the first time and those who are seasoned in dealing with their menstrual cycle, to those who want to protect against a sweaty groin, those who deal with incontinence and even those who are postpartum.
Truly, these briefs are resistant to any leaks.
Of course, there are plenty of other styles of briefs, with a range of different patterns and absorbencies to choose from online. I promise you, no matter the design you choose, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Don’t just take my word for it, fellow WUKA shoppers have praised the brand.
Wuka shopper, Claire, shared: ‘I really like this product as I find they are perfect for night time protection.’
Iro praised: ‘Finally period panties that work! They are a perfect-fit with actually heavy absorption.’
While another customer added: ‘My daughter was initially skeptical, but after one use, she’s completely converted! No discomfort, no irritation.’
