Product Information
Full details
The WUKA Period Swimsuit is designed for adult females who want to swim, splash, or enjoy water activities without the need for pads or tampons. Its key benefit is providing discreet, built-in protection for moderate flow periods or light bladder leaks, allowing for confidence in and out of the water. A potential caveat is its capacity, which is best suited for moderate flow or as a backup for heavier days.

Troubleshooting
Swimsuit not absorbing as expected
Ensure the swimsuit has been washed according to care instructions. Residual detergents or fabric softeners can affect absorbency. Ensure it's not overly saturated with water before activity.
Fabric feels stiff or less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softener or harsh detergents. Wash on a cool, delicate cycle and air dry. Harsh chemicals can degrade the fabric over time.
Swimsuit appears to be leaking
Check that the swimsuit fits snugly and correctly. Ensure the period flow is within the capacity (up to 15ml). For very heavy flows, consider using a tampon or menstrual cup alongside the swimsuit.
