Wuka has launched a brand new range of period swimsuits which hold up to three tampons worth and have a smoothing, supportive fit that sculpts your figure
The hotel is booked, you’re packing for your holiday, and then suddenly you realise your period is due to arrive any day now. If the thought of swimming whilst wearing tampons fills you with dread or has you resigning yourself to a week spent on the sun lounger rather than enjoying a dip in the sea, period swimwear is here to save the day.
Wuka’s new range of period swimsuits are the perfect way to avoid leaks whilst still making the most of your trip. Working just like a pair of period knickers, the new Period Two-Tone Swimsuit is ultra absorbent, holding up to 15ml which is the equivalent of three tampons or two day pads so you don’t need to worry about constantly changing them or checking for leaks whilst you’re in the pool.

Whilst wearing a tampon whilst swimming can be uncomfortable (and need changing more frequently than normal), the £49.99 Period Two-Tone Swimsuit should see you through a whole day spent in and out of the water, as well as stopping leaks whilst sunbathing or enjoying a stroll along the beach. The Wuka swimsuit is suitable for moderate periods, and is also perfect for light bladder leaks.
It also replaces around 200 disposable period products in its lifetime, not only saving you money but helping reduce waste too. The swimsuit itself has been sustainably designed too, helping limit your impact on the environment.
As well as helping prevent leaks and discomfort, the Wuka swimsuit also helps you feel your most comfortable and confident whilst wearing it. It features a racerback cut that moves with you, and is made from a sculpting fabric which smooths your body and holds you in, not only sculpting your figure but providing additional support for bloated, aching tummies.
The only real downside is that they require washing between each use (as is the case with all period swimsuits and knickers). You need to rinse with cold water before popping them in a cold wash with no detergent or fabric softener and letting them air dry. That means you’ll need to pick up several swimsuits to take with you if you know you’ll be on your period throughout your whole holiday.
For anyone after a simple addition to their swimwear for period days, Next’s Black Midi Waist Period Bikini Bottoms are £18 and hold two to three tampons worth in every use. The mid-rise waist is comfortable on bloated days and gives a little extra coverage, and their affordable price tag means you can pick up a few pairs to wear throughout the week.
Alternatively Modibodi has a whole host of period swimwear too, from bikini bottoms and shorts to all-in-one swimsuits in different cuts and colourways. There’s also a teen range to help give a little extra confidence and security to those who are new to getting their period.
The Wuka site also has plenty of other swim options for both adults and teens. Designs include block colours, all black designs and period swim shorts and briefs that you can mix and match with your existing bikinis if you want some extra pairs to take with you. They come in sizes XS to XXL, and several different flow weights so you can find the right ones for you.
