FAQs
How much flow can the WUKA Period Swimsuit hold?
The absorbent gusset is designed to hold up to 15ml of flow, which is roughly equivalent to 3 tampons or 2 pads. This makes it suitable for moderate periods.
Can I wear this swimsuit for heavy periods?
While it offers protection for moderate flow, for very heavy periods, it is recommended to use the swimsuit as a backup alongside a menstrual cup or tampon for added security.
How do I wash and care for my period swimsuit?
Rinse after use. Machine wash cold with a gentle detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Line dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry or iron.
How long does the swimsuit last?
Each WUKA period swimsuit is reusable and can last for up to 2 years with proper care, replacing approximately 200 disposable menstrual products.
Is the swimsuit truly waterproof?
Yes, it features a waterproof outer layer integrated into the absorbent gusset to prevent leaks during water activities.
Does the swimsuit offer UV protection?
Yes, the fabric is made from recycled nylon with UV50+ protection, helping to shield your skin from the sun.
Can I use this for swimming competitions?
The swimsuit is designed for general swimming and water sports. For competitive swimming where maximum discretion and performance are critical, it performs effectively by eliminating the need for external pads or tampons.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit not absorbing effectively
Ensure the swimsuit has been washed according to care instructions before first use. Check that no fabric softeners or harsh detergents were used, as these can impair absorbency. For very heavy flows, consider using a backup product.
Leaking during water activities
Verify the swimsuit is the correct size and fits snugly. Ensure the absorbent gusset is properly positioned. For heavier flow days, use a menstrual cup or tampon as a backup.
Fabric feels stiff or less flexible
Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach during washing. Rinse thoroughly after use to remove any pool chemicals or salt water that can degrade the material over time.
Swimsuit taking too long to dry
Ensure the swimsuit is thoroughly wrung out after rinsing. Hang to line dry in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct heat or tumble drying which can damage the fabric.
