FAQs
How much period flow can the swimsuit hold?
The ultra-absorbent gusset is designed to hold up to 15ml of menstrual flow, which is approximately equivalent to 2 pads or 3 tampons.
Can I wear this on its own for my entire period?
The swimsuit is best suited for moderate flow days or as a backup. For very heavy flow days, it is recommended to use it in conjunction with a menstrual cup or tampon.
How do I wash the WUKA Period Swimsuit?
Rinse in cold water after use. Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild detergent. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron.
How long will the swimsuit last?
Each swimsuit is reusable and designed to last for up to two years with proper care, replacing approximately 200 disposable period products.
Is the swimsuit suitable for sensitive skin?
The swimsuit is made from recycled nylon and designed with comfort in mind. It is recommended to wash before first wear.
Does the absorbent gusset feel bulky?
The design integrates the absorbent layer seamlessly, aiming for a feel and look similar to regular swimwear, without significant bulk.
What is the UV protection level?
The swimsuit offers UV50+ protection, which helps to shield your skin from harmful ultraviolet rays.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit not feeling secure
Ensure the swimsuit fits snugly. If used for moderate flow, check that the absorbed fluid capacity has not been exceeded. For heavier flows, consider using it with a menstrual cup or tampon.
Fabric discolouration or degradation
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight without UV protection, and rinse thoroughly after use in chlorinated or saltwater. Do not use harsh detergents or bleach.
Reduced absorbency over time
Follow care instructions carefully, avoiding fabric softeners and high heat drying, which can impact the absorbent properties of the gusset.
