Product Information
Full details
The WUKA Period Racerback Swimsuit is designed for adult females seeking a stylish and functional swimwear option during their period or for managing light bladder leaks. Its key benefit is providing discreet, built-in protection that allows for swimming, splashing, and relaxing without the need for pads or tampons. A potential caveat is its suitability for moderate flow, with a capacity of up to 15ml, and it's recommended as a backup for heavier flows. This one-piece offers a flattering fit with removable padded cups and a diamond-cut back, made from chlorine-resistant, UV50+ recycled nylon.

FAQs
How much menstrual flow can the WUKA Period Swimsuit hold?
The ultra-absorbent gusset is designed to hold up to 15ml of menstrual flow, which is approximately the equivalent of 3 tampons or 2 pads. This makes it ideal for moderate periods.
Can I wear this swimsuit if I have a heavy period?
For heavy periods, the swimsuit can be worn as a backup for added security when used with a tampon or menstrual cup. However, for standalone protection on heavy days, it may not be sufficient.
How do I wash the period swimsuit?
Rinse the swimsuit in cold water after use. Then, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle (30°C or 86°F) without fabric softener or bleach. Hang to air dry.
How long does the swimsuit last?
Each WUKA Period Swimsuit is reusable for up to 2 years when cared for properly, helping to significantly reduce waste from disposable period products.
Is the swimsuit comfortable for swimming?
Yes, it's designed to feel and look like regular swimwear while offering built-in protection. The quick-drying, chlorine-resistant recycled nylon ensures comfort and durability in and out of the water.
Does the swimsuit offer sun protection?
Yes, the fabric provides UV50+ protection, helping to shield your skin from harmful sun rays.
What is the fit like?
The swimsuit features a flattering fit with removable padded cups for customizable support and a stylish diamond-cut back design.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit does not feel fully absorbent
Ensure the swimsuit has been washed according to care instructions before first use. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, which can impede absorbency. Check that the absorbent gusset area is clean and free from residue.
Leakage during wear
Confirm the flow level is within the swimsuit's capacity (up to 15ml). For heavier flows, use as a backup with a tampon or menstrual cup. Ensure the swimsuit is properly fitted and not too loose. Check the waterproof layer for any damage.
Fabric appears faded or damaged
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight after drying. Ensure chlorine-resistant properties are maintained by adhering to the washing instructions and avoiding harsh chemicals. Do not tumble dry or iron, as high heat can damage the fabric.
