FAQ: Leak-Proof Period Swimwear

WUKA period swimwear is designed to absorb periods and little leaks whilst in or out of the water.

How does waterproof swimwear actually work?
WUKA swimwear features a built in absorbent gusset made of three unique layers. The breathable top layer is designed to feel soft and comfortable to the touch as it sits closest to to your skin. The second layer is highly-absorbent and moisture wicking, helping to absorb up to 3 tampons worth of blood. Lastly the final or outer fabric is aquaphobic meaning it is water repellent which prevents water from entering the gusset and protects against leaks. While it is safe to swim in period swimwear on your periods, we suggest using a menstrual cup or other products as backup on your heavy flow days.
Can I wear them on heavy flow days?
WUKA period swimwear is recommended for use on light to medium flow days. If you are using them to swim for long periods of time, they are best for lighter days. If however, you’re spending the day lounging by the pool with only the occasional light swim then they can also be worn on medium flow days. We do not recommend them for heavy flow days.
Can I wear the swim briefs whilst using other products?
Yes of course! For added protection on heavier flow days, we recommend wearing the swimsuit alongside a menstrual cup, disc or tampon- the more sustainable and plastic free the better!
What Material is your swimsuit made of?
As a certified B Corp that places sustainability at the heart of our brand mission, our WUKA swimwear collection is made from recycled nylon so no virgin plastic are used to make the fabric. Remember each WUKA replaces 200 disposables going to landfill.
What does UV50 protection mean?
Also known as Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF), UV protection indicates how much UV radiation (both UVB and UVA) a fabric allows to reach your skin. For example, our swimwear collection is made using UV50+ protection fabric which blocks 98% of the sun's rays and allows 2% (1/50th) to penetrate, thus reducing your exposure risk to harmful rays significantly.
How do I wash them?
Rinse them in cold water before washing to remove any excess blood. Wash them in the washing machine on a delicate program at 30°C maximum. Do not use any fabric softener or detergents. Air dry and never use a tumble dryer!
What styles are the swim briefs available in?
Two styles. The high waist style is available for adults whilst the classic bikini brief is available for adults and teens.
What sizes are the swim briefs available in?
Adult Sizes range from XS- 4XL in both the bikini and high waist swim briefs. Teens Swim Bikini Briefs are available in sizes 2XS - L.
How do I know what size of Teen Swim Bikini to buy for my child?
2XS:4-6, XS:6-8, S:8-10, M:10-12. These are just for recommendation. We know all kids grow at different rates, so the best way to get the right size is measure the widest part at the hip and see our size chart to get the right size. You can always ask our customer support if you need help. Anther way to get the size right is by matching with high-street brands, if your teen wears size 4-6 opt for 2XS, if they wear 6-8 go for size XS, If they wear 8-10, go for small size.
Can I wear WUKA swim even when I am not on my period?
Your WUKA is one period swim collection is perfect for wearing in the water- whether it's by the pool, the beach or under a wetsuit. Whether you are on you period or not, they are great to use. The leakproof gusset is built into all of our period swimwear to be discreet and undetectable, so they look and feel just like regular swimwear.
Can I return my period swimwear?
Yes! All of our swim bottoms and one-pieces are eligible for a return or exchange within 30 days of delivery, as long as the original sanitary strip and tags are attached.
Is the swimwear chlorine-safe?
Yes. Our period swimwear is seawater and chlorine-resistant which helps to prevent fading and keeps your swimwear long-lasting.
I am scared that I might leak in the pool
If you have a fear of using WUKA in the pool, we suggest you use them only on your light flow day, till you gain confidence.

Essential for holidays

I purchased these as I knew I was going to be on period on holiday. I have worn Wuka period knickers for the last few years and I love them. I have heavy periods and I soak through super plus extra tampons every couple of hours during the first two days of my period and the Wuka period knickers last me much longer. So when I knew I was going to be on holiday I decided to give these a try. I used them as back up as well as using tampons on my heavy days, then on their own on my lighter days. I wore the period swimwear under my normal bikini bottoms so I could have my normal swimwear look, and you couldn’t tell at all. I’m so glad I bought them.

Amazing product

Bought two pairs of these bikini bottoms in preparation for a holiday and they were amazing, such a relief to be able to trust that they do their job and it doesn’t have to impact what you can do whilst away and also great not having to try on disposable products that can have serious side affects, thank you Wuka!

Wuka Swim Bikini Brief

I haven't tested the item yet so can only comment on the fitting and delivery. I had bought the Small size first based on the size chart but had to return it as it was quite loose. So I re-ordered the XS instead. This one does fit me. I was however disappointed with the return as I spent at least £5 for a Tracking postage (recommended by Wuka) and found out later that it would not be refunded even though I was exchanging it. I do not feel the website is clear enough about Exchanges. The delivery takes about 5 days. I would prefer more choices of swimwear.

FunSaver on holiday!

These swim briefs were an absolute life saver on our recent holiday where I managed to swim in our hotel pool with my kids on my heaviest day thanks to these and my Saalt Menstrual Cup. No leaks at all and felt so comfortable and relieved that my period didn't stop me from enjoying the pool. I suffer with Endometriosis and Adenomyosis and so much of my life is affected by heavy painful bleeding. Being able to swim and enjoy time with my family was priceless! Thanks to a pervious reviewer who said they wore their swim briefs under their usual swimwear gave me a little bit of extra confidence and security. Thank you Wuka!

Gamechanger

Just returned from a week in Greece where my 12 year old had her 2nd period. We took these bikini bottoms and also the teen period pants. No accidents and complete freedom to swim all day long. I just wish they’d been around for my older girls!

Saved my boat trip

The family bought tickets to a boat + cave swimming tour while on holiday and of course my period came early to ruin the fun. I was so anxious that these bikini briefs wouldn’t be able to last for the whole outing but they were amazing! Absolutely no leaks, had a great swim with no problems at all, and the material is so comfy I’d honestly wear it every day. Highly recommend!

Hello Seda,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're delighted to hear that our bikini briefs allowed you to enjoy your boat and cave swimming tour without any worries. It's great to know they provided the comfort and leak protection you needed, even during unexpected moments. We appreciate your recommendation, and if you ever have more adventures or feedback to share, please feel free to reach out.
Thank you once again.

They really work!

My 12 year old daughter started her period the month before we were going on holiday to Spain. She loves swimming on holiday and is hardly ever out of the pool. I thought her holiday would be massively impacted by starting her period as she didn't want to try tampons. I bought these not fully believing they would work, but they really do! Both myself and my daughter have full confidence in them now, and it allowed her to have the holiday fun she wanted.

Fantastic

Would highly recommend, my daughter was on her period on holiday so brought these bikini bottoms so she could enjoy the pool. They work amazing and she felt so comfortable. She wore them and her bikini bottoms over top so know one knew any different. A must buy for those times you don’t want to miss out in the water!!!

Put your trust in these pants!

I bought these ahead of a holiday I knew I’d have my period on, as I hate tampons and just can’t make them work for me. These bikini pants are AMAZING! I have medium/light flow and they caught every last bit. Absolutely nothing to worry about. No leaks or marks, no watery blood on my towel or sunlounger. I wore them under my normal bikini bottoms and they were a lifesaver. I got the medium size as I’m a medium in the normal period pants too. I’m a 10-12 in pants. Hope this helps someone!!

Amazing product!

Went on my holiday fearing about how to manage my period around the pool and beach. Bought these swim bikini briefs so I could still enjoy swimming, sunbathing and was really glad that they did work.

They really are a really amazing product, they hide well under normal swimming bikini bottoms, is comfortable and you don’t get too hot wearing these - I wore these in 37 degree weather and kept cool.

They are easy to wash in cold water with laundry detergent and hang up to air dry after use. Well done Wuka for making my holiday easier!

My daughter has very sensitive skin that was constantly irritated by sanitary products. Since wearing wuka pants she's had no problems at all, and says they're incredibly soft and comfortable
