If you’re thinking about investing in WUKA period swimwear, you’ve probably got a few questions before you take the plunge. What is WUKA made from? How does WUKA work? Where can I buy their products? Keep reading, to find the answer to these questions, and more.
The recent rise in popularity of period swimwear has allowed designers and manufacturers to continue to invest. And it’s giving women one less thing to worry about; leaving them free to concentrate on their sporting pursuits.
What is WUKA Made From?
The WUKA brand prides itself on being environmentally friendly. Their materials are all planet and animal friendly, and they don’t contain ANY added chemicals. So, what is WUKA made from?
Their versatile range includes briefs, boxers, lace pants and swimwear. Various materials are used in the manufacturing process, including Tencel, GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) organic cotton, recycled nylon and an organic cotton / elastane mix.
Choosing to use WUKA period swimwear means you’re helping to reduce single-use plastic disposable levels that contaminate our beautiful oceans and overwhelm landfills.
So, How Does WUKA Work?
Ask yourself a few questions before you decide which products suit your needs. WUKA period swimwear is available in different absorbency levels. Consider your flow (light, medium, heavy) and what you’ll be doing whilst wearing them (sleeping, sitting, exercising, etc). This will help as a guide, to ensure you’re wearing the correct style for your activity and flow levels.
Still wondering, how does WUKA work? Well, you can rest assured that ALL of their swimwear products are comfortable, effective and safe. They are manufactured with a super absorbent gusset. This is made up of an outer layer, which is moisture wicking, and there to keep you dry. The middle layers are in place to do the important job of absorbing and locking in the blood.
You might find it useful to test a selection of WUKA swimwear at different points in your cycle. This will help you to get the right size, shape and absorbency level for your particular needs.
If you are an avid swimmer, you could try their swimwear range. A full WUKA swimsuit, or bikini bottoms are suitable to wear alone. However, due to the particularly light fabric they are made from, they can be worn underneath regular swimwear. This is particularly useful if you swim as part of a team and need to wear a branded swimsuit.
How Long Can I Wear WUKA?
One of the most common questions asked is, ‘How long can I wear WUKA?’ On average, the WUKA range can be worn for up to 8 hours straight. For particularly heavy flows, 4-6 hours may be your cut off point.
They are designed to be leakproof and to handle the heaviest of flows, but this is something you will be able to determine yourself when you start wearing them.
When you are ready to wash them, simply place them in with the rest of your laundry. Once washed and dry, they are good to go again.
