Let’s talk period pants – How do WUKA period pants work? Constructed of leak proof layers, which prevent the blood from passing through the underwear, whilst allowing airflow, so they are breathable and prevent sweating.
These period pants could save you up to 50% by switching from disposables, diverting 200 disposables from landfill – environmentally a win-win!
Wash, Wear, Reuse.
Remember the ‘Tampon Tax’ debate?
Last week WUKA asked people to send an email to your MP asking them to consider period pants as an essential and sustainable option for periods.

More about the WUKA period pants
There are several WUKA (#wakeupkickass) styles to select from – the WUKA Ultimate™ Bikini – is made from organic cotton and are GOTs certified. This means that the cotton was grown without chemical pesticides, chemical fertilisers, GM seeds and therefore does not doesn’t destroy our ecosystems?
Organic cotton can actually be beneficial to the environment as it can improve soil quality and often uses less water than other fabrics. This material is also vegan and unlike wool, it’s easier to clean, dry and is softer to touch.

Oh thank you for the informative and interesting post! I am still thinking whether to buy period pants or a menstrual cup. I might have to get a pair of period pants to try. The menstrual cup sounds good but am still not very comfortable withe thought of using one.
Hello Lei, great to hear from you, how’s it going over on the Isle of Wight?
Ah thanks for the feedback, WUKA is definitely the place to start – you can always have them as a back up if you decide to go down the menstrual cup route x
