WUKA STRETCH™ | THE ULTIMATE PERIOD UNDERWEAR

In the ever-evolving landscape of sustainable period care, WUKA isn't just another brand; it's a trailblazer, shaking up the scene with its cutting-edge and eco-friendly products.


Over the years, my collection of WUKA period pants has grown, and every single pair has been a real game-changer for my cycle. However, today's article will focus on one pair in particular: the iconic

EMBRACING COMFORT AND CONFIDENCE WITH WUKA STRETCH™ TECHNOLOGY


As the world's first full brief, seamless multi-size period pants, WUKA Stretch™ has revolutionised menstrual care with comfortable and thoughtful designs that promote body inclusivity, providing that extra boost of confidence on those days when you just need to go with the flow.


WUKA Stretch™ utilizes powerful stretch microfiber technology to ensure that every single pair of multi-size pants sculpts itself to fit a variety of body shapes and sizes.


Choose between Size 1 (XS-L) or Size 2 (XL-4XL) to enjoy seamless, flexible, and comfortable period pants that offer maximum security during your period.

has ingeniously designed a product that not only harnesses the capabilities of stretch microfiber technology but also provides a fit allowing WUKA Stretch™ period pants to feature a super-absorbent gusset, ensuring full coverage on heavy flow days.


WUKA Stretch™ period underwear is the perfect choice for those days when you're feeling bloated, experiencing post-birth changes, or dealing with shifts in body sizes.


The use of soft, breathable, hypoallergenic cotton adds a layer of kindness to the skin. Plus, all WUKA period pants are environmentally conscious, and these, in particular, offer leak-proof protection for up to 12 hours!


From personal experience, I can confidently say that the comfort level and figure-flattering fit of WUKA Stretch™ period pants have truly elevated my experience with period underwear. I never knew that period pants could look or feel so lightweight, almost like a second skin, while still providing so much protection.


Nonetheless, WUKA hasn't just revolutionised the design of sustainable period underwear; they have also been leading a significant movement for menstrual equality - a cause that I am more than happy to support.

AXED PERIOD PANTS TAX


As of January 2024, the Value Added Tax (VAT) on period pants will be removed, thanks to the efforts of WUKA and its customers. This marks a historic moment in the fight against paying to bleed.


Until now, the UK government has considered period pants a luxury item, resulting in only menstrual pads and tampons being tax-free. However, after five years of tireless advocacy, government petitions, signatures, letters to MPs, and unwavering support from menstrual equality activists, WUKA has succeeded in its mission!


ACCESSIBLE AND AFFORDABLE PERIOD CARE


The removal of VAT on period pants is a significant step towards making menstrual products more accessible and affordable for people from all walks of life. Starting in January 2024, WUKA Stretch™ Seamless Period Pants and other period products will be 20% cheaper, marking a tangible victory in the pursuit of menstrual equality.


I'm delighted to see that WUKA's efforts have made such a huge difference to people with periods everywhere! It feels gratifying to know that my signature, among others, contributed to addressing something that needed significant attention and change.


"This success is a testament to the collective strength of women. I extend my deepest gratitude to every supporter who lent their voice to this campaign. It is not just a win for WUKA; it is a win for every girl and woman affected by unjust taxation. Let this be a beacon of hope, inspiring nations worldwide to champion menstrual equality."
