How to buy the perfect period pants

Period pants make your periods cheaper, eco-friendly, fuss-free and comfortable, but which ones should you buy? Here are some tips to ensure that you get the perfect period pants for you, first time!

5 Ways To Buy The Right Period Pants First Time

1. Use A Size Guide

When shopping online for clothing using a size guide is a great way to get the right fit. The same goes for period pants. When buying WUKA period pants you can use this specially crafted size guide to work out what size is best for you by basing it on your usual clothing size or by measuring yourself. When measuring yourself, it is ideal to use a measuring tape. Remember to remove clothing, wrap it around the widest part of your hips, keep the tape level, and relax your body.

Don’t have a measuring tape? No worries! You can use a belt or piece of string and a ruler. Simply measure yourself in the same way you would when using tape but afterwards lay the string or belt flat and measure the length with a ruler. It is always a good idea to measure yourself a couple of times, or get a friend to help you. If you land in the middle of a size, go for the bigger option to ensure a good fit.

2. Get Multi-Size Period Pants

Multi-size period pants? Yes, you read that right. Thanks to the world leading size innovation at WUKA, the first ever multi-size period pants are here and they come in two exciting forms - Stretch and Flex. One pair of WUKA Stretch fits up to four whole sizes and comfortably moulds to your body shape. Also, they keep their elasticity, so no matter how your body changes, with WUKA Stretch you are in safe hands. Another bonus is that they are seamless period pants, meaning no VPL (hooray!) and a silky soft feel.

WUKA Flex has handy adjustable straps that allow you to change the size of your pants to up to four sizes difference with ease. Period bloating, weight gain or weight loss? Simply adjust the straps to your desired size. Another perk is that they are made from Premium Organic Cotton certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard. You also have the option of Flex Detachable. These are great for festivals and travelling as you can unclip and swap your period pants without having to take your trousers off.

WUKA Stretch and Flex sizing is beautifully simple, choose either, Size one (XS-L) or Size two (XL- 4XL). With WUKA Stretch and Flex you can wave goodbye to sizing dilemmas and say hello to ultra comfy period pants that stay comfy, even if your body shape changes.

This means you can rest assured knowing that even if your body changes your pants will fit.
