Seriously, Period Pants Are About To Revolutionise Your Periods

Wuka's pants will revolutionise your period.We hope you love the products we recommend! All of them were independently selected by our editors. Just so you know, HuffPost UK may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page if you decide to shop from them. Oh, and FYI – prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication.I turned my nose up at period pants when I first heard about them some years ago. Fast forward to now and I’m the friend in the group recommending them whenever my pals tell me it’s their time of the month.Not only are period pants more environmentally friendly, I find them more economical than buying packs upon packs of pads or tampons – there’s a reason campaigners in the UK fought hard to remove the tax on period products.Buy a few pairs of these knickers (you can bag a pack of three from WUKA for just over £50) and you’re all set, thanks to the ability to reuse them time and time again. And yes, they’re easier to wash and keep clean than you might think.Most importantly to me though, as someone with heavy periods, they’re comfortable and make me feel confident going about my day.Period pants are great for exercising in, tooI find period underwear especially good for exercising without the fear of a period product slipping – goddess pose suddenly doesn’t feel quite so scary while on my period. Before trying these pants, I’d often forego exercise completely during my period because of the fear of my pad moving mid-squat.This is everything Ruby Raut wants people not to do. Ruby founded period care brand WUKA (which stands for ‘wake up, kick ass’, by the way) in 2017. She grew up in Nepal and witnessed how rampant period shame was.WUKA was the first brand to bring reusable period underwear to the UK, giving people who menstruate more options as to which products they use. They also led a five-year campaign to remove the 20% tax on period underwear – and they’ve donated products to schools, charities and NHS workers.The benefits of period pantsWhen I tell friends to get onto period underwear, they ask: ‘They really don’t leak?’, ‘They’re actually comfortable?’, ‘They don’t make you smell?’. The answers I enthusiastically give are: yes, yes and no, respectively. On a recent day trip out of London to visit a friend, I raved about how – because I was wearing period pants – I didn’t need to carry around pads in my bag, and watch them slowly get crumpled by the other items floating around in there. I think I sold her on giving a pair a go herself.When you switch to a pair of WUKA period pants, it replaces at least 200 single-use disposables, and the carbon footprint is five times smaller. The pants, when used each month, last up to two years.They have options for heavy flows to lighter ones, from boxer style shorts to thongs. They even have swimwear and activewear versions too, so no need to worry when your period arrives just as you’re about to board a plane. I like to go for a medium to heavy option, so that I really don’t have to worry at all about leaking. If I had an event like a wedding come up at the end of a period, I’d definitely give the thong version a go.Even better, their multi-size pants are a patented design to fit four different sizes in one pair, and the range goes from 2XS to 6XL. Alongside all the positive social work they do to improve period care access and reduce shame, the sheer variety in styles and options make it a no brainer that WUKA are the go-to brand when trying out period pants – whether for the first, or fifth, time.
