Why We Launched DryTech™ Incontinence Pants
Drum roll please… we’re super proud, and so excited to announce the launch of a brand new addition to the WUKA range- reusable incontinence pants! Read on to find out why we’re launching the range, and how you can take part in our campaign to change the language that surrounds women’s health products.
Introducing New WUKA Drytech™ Underwear
They’re two years in the making, but we’re so proud to finally unveil our first collection designed solely for incontinence leaks!
We’re excited to be able to extend our award winning period-proof pants range, to support women and girls beyond the realms of the menstrual cycle with a brand new innovation- Drytech™ incontinence pants. They’re the world’s first multi-size underwear for everyday leaks- and we think you’re going to love them!
Since WUKA began in 2017, we’ve helped half a million women and girls manage their period with super absorbent reusable underwear and sportswear. And while that’s truly amazing (and we’re so thankful for each and every customer!), we’ve always felt that we could be helping more.
Lots of you have been in touch before now to ask about using our period pants for light leaks, and until now we’ve not been able to offer the right solutions. Now, we can.
Our new Drytech™ pants embody our pioneering and taboo-breaking spirit perfectly. With anti-leak edging, Polygiene OdourCrunch™ Technology and Polygiene StayFresh™ Technology, we’re providing you with not just leak-proof protection, but a fresh and worry-free experience too.
How do the pants work?
The innovative aquaphobic outer material creates an impenetrable barrier, effectively locking out leaks even during moments of exertion. The inner built-in gusset, renowned for its high absorption capacity, instantly captures and contains moisture, ensuring it remains securely locked away.
Designed with comfort and style in mind, WUKA DryTech™ Underwear moulds comfortably to individual body contours and stretches to adapt to all body shapes and sizes, guaranteeing a perfect fit for the first time.

#AlwaysWukaNeverDiscreet
You know us. We like to smash taboos and break down the stigmas that surround women’s health and menstruation- and we feel just as passionately about incontinence too.
Bladder problems are more common than hay fever in the UK- with 14 million people affected, and women experiencing leakage twice as much as men. Safe to say incontinence is not a minor issue. And yet, we still don’t want to talk about it.
We see incontinence products on the shelves using words such as ‘discreet’, implying we shouldn’t talk about it.
But language like this does nothing more than help to perpetuate the stigmas that surround incontinence. We see incontinence as taboo, and because of that, women feel ashamed and are less likely to seek medical help. In fact, 96% of women with urinary incontinence do not speak to doctor about it at all. The truth is, incontinence can have a devastating emotional impact, negatively impacting quality of life, irrespective of age.
We’re known for our no-holds barred approach to tackling stigmas. WUKA stands for Wake Up Kick Ass. We’re about speaking up and challenging the status quo. We’ve never been discreet when it comes to women’s health- we speak the bloody truth, and in doing so we’ve helped millions of women and girls manage their period. And now we’re turning to another ‘secret’ that’s been hidden beneath shrouds of shame for far too long. 1 in 3 women is more than just a little bit of wee. It’s an issue that could affect any one of us, and we need to speak up about it now.
That’s why we’re coinciding our launch with a new taboo-busting campaign, called #AlwaysWUKANeverDiscreet. We’re calling upon incumbent brands to remove words like ‘discreet’ from their packaging and advertising. We want women to be informed, to feel empowered, and to seek the help they might need without shame or embarrassment. And that starts right here, with us.
Please sign and share our petition, and help us to make the changes we desperately need to see.
