WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT

WUKA Basics™ Hipster Heavy Flow Pants look and feel just like your regular underwear, but with built-in period protection. With a hipster cut and high gusset for extra coverage, they’re soft, secure, and designed for comfort day and night.

HOW IT WORKS

Each pair absorbs 20ml+ of period blood or light leaks - about 4 tampons’ worth or 3 pads. Leak-proof layers lock in flow and odour while breathable organic cotton keeps you feeling fresh and comfortable for up to 12 hours of wear.

BEST FOR

Heavy flow days, overnight protection, or times when you want extra security. Perfect for school, work, travel, or relaxing at home with confidence.

GOOD TO KNOW

Made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, grown without chemical pesticides, fertilisers, or GM seeds. Wash before first wear. Reusable for up to 2 years, saving over 200 disposables from landfill. Sustainable, breathable, and designed for real life.

FAQ: Basics™ Hipster

Hipster-cut period pants in soft cotton for heavy flow—breathable, secure and protective for up to 12 hours.

How much do the Basics™ Hipster Heavy pants hold?
Each pair absorbs 20ml+ (about 4 tampons or 3 pads), ideal for heavy flow days and light leaks.
Do they fully replace pads and tampons?
Yes—on heavy flow days they’re designed to replace pads and tampons. If your flow is very heavy, change sooner or choose an even higher-absorbency style.
What’s the fit like and are they comfortable for day and night?
A comfortable hipster cut with a high gusset for extra coverage, made from breathable organic cotton that feels soft and secure against the skin.
Can I wear them for up to 12 hours or overnight?
They provide up to 12 hours of protection. Suitable for daytime or overnight on heavy flow—change sooner if you start to feel wet, as everyone’s flow is different.
How do I wash and care for them?
Wash before first wear. After use, rinse in cold water until it runs clear, then machine wash at 40°C without fabric conditioner. Air dry only; do not tumble dry or soak for long periods.
How long will they last and how many pairs do I need?
With proper care they’re reusable for up to 2 years. Most people find 5–7 pairs work well for a full cycle; build your rotation with single, 3-pack or 5-pack options.

Perfection

I ordered my first pair just to give it a try as I wasn't sure how comfortable I would be transitioning from sanitary towels and tampons to this. The first time I wore it I instantly regretted the fact that I only ordered one pair. I have never been more comfortable during my periods. These period pants make the monthly periods more bearable.
