FAQ: Shop by Style Guide

A simple guide to choosing the right WUKA style and caring for your period pants. Find the best fit for everyday wear, heavy or overnight protection, sports, first periods and more. Easy 40°C care and up to 12 hours of wear.

What is the difference between each WUKA style and how do they fit?

Midi Brief gives a mid rise everyday fit. High Waist adds extra tummy and back coverage. Bikini and Hipster feel low profile while staying protective. Shorts and Boxers have a longer leg for extra coverage. Leggings include a built in gusset for workouts. Thong is for light flow and tight outfits. Swimwear is made for pool and beach. Sleep or Overnight styles use an extended back gusset for lying down. Stretch styles flex across multiple sizes.

Which styles are best for heavy days and overnight protection?

Choose High Waist or Midi in Heavy or Super Heavy for strong flow. For sleep, pick Sleep or Overnight styles with a high back gusset for full lying down coverage. Aim for up to 12 hours of wear, and change sooner if you start to feel wet.

Which styles work best under skirts and dresses or for sports?

Shorts and Boxers are great under skirts and dresses because the longer leg adds confidence. Leggings are ideal for yoga, running or gym days because the built in gusset stays put. Swim styles let you enjoy the pool or sea on moderate flow days.

What should I choose for first periods or lighter days?

For first periods or lighter days, start with Medium absorbency in Bikini, Midi or Hipster. Teen Stretch is a good option because it grows with changing bodies and keeps things simple.

What if my size changes or I bloat during my cycle?

Pick WUKA Stretch if your size changes through the month. One pair flexes across multiple sizes, so it stays comfortable during bloating and body changes.

How many pairs do I need to cover a full cycle?

For a full switch most people use 5 to 7 pairs across different absorbencies. To start, try 3 to 5 pairs, then add a heavier or overnight style for the strongest days.

How long can I wear a pair of period pants?

Up to 12 hours, depending on your flow and the absorbency you choose. On very heavy days or long shifts, change earlier or move to a higher absorbency or overnight style.

How do I wash and care for WUKA period pants?

Rinse in cold water after use, then machine wash at 40°C without fabric softener. Air dry only. This protects the absorbent layers and helps each pair last up to 2 years.
