Let’s be real - pads can feel bulky, itchy, and like a constant worry about leaks. That awkward shuffle? The fear of standing up at school? Yeah, we’ve all been there. But there’s a new normal happening, and it’s made for comfort, confidence, and actual freedom
Enter: period pants. They look and feel like your comfiest underwear, but they’ve got built-in superpowers: they absorb your flow, stop leaks, and let you move like a human—not a pad-wearing robot.
And teens are loving them. Here’s why.
Built for Real Life, Not Just the School Bathroom
Period pants (especially our multi-size Stretch™ pants!) are designed to move with you - whether you're running in PE, curled up on the sofa, or running to catch the bus. No rustling, no shifting, no weird wings poking out of your leggings.
Missed the bathroom break bell? No problem.
WUKA Teen Stretch™ Period Pants grow with developing bodies and adapt to every shape, making them perfect for tweens and teens going through puberty.
Better for the Planet and Your Wallet
Pads and tampons = plastic waste and constant repurchasing.
Period pants = reusable, washable, and designed to last years.
Think of it like this: one pair of WUKA pants can replace over 200 disposables. That’s not just good for the planet - it’s less faff, fewer emergency shop trips, and way more freedom. And yep, they’re now VAT-free in the UK, thanks to our successful campaign to scrap the tax on period pants. Period care isn’t a luxury - it’s a basic need.
No More “Leak Anxiety”
We call it leak-proof confidence for a reason. The absorbent layers inside our award winning period pants hold up to 8 tampons’ worth of blood (depending on the style). That means you can wear them all day at school, even on your heavier days.
Heading into sport? Grab a Teen Swim Bikini Brief or Teen Period Skort - both made to handle your flow while you dive, sprint, or stretch.
Designed for Teens (Not Just Sized-Down Adults)
Lots of period products are made for grown-ups and then shrunk down for teens. Not ours.
Our teen range was co-created with actual teens - real feedback, real bodies, and real period stories.
From the stretchy waistband to the soft fabrics, everything’s made to support growing bodies, unpredictable cycles, and sensitive skin.
For first-timers, the WUKA Period Starter Kit is a game-changer. It includes everything you need to feel prepared and confident. Plus check out our School Set and Sleep Set too - everything you need for comfort and confidence.
Let’s Talk Period Power, Not Period Shame
We’re done hiding tampons up our sleeves. We’re done whispering about “that time of the month.” And we’re definitely done with products that make periods harder than they need to be.
Period pants aren’t just comfier. They’re part of a bigger shift - one where we talk about periods openly, wear what we want, and teach the next generation that bleeding is not embarrassing.
What Teens Are Saying
“It just feels like normal underwear.”
“I actually forget I’m on my period.”
“I feel way more confident at school and PE.”
