WUKA Ultimate™ High Waist Duo - Heavy

The simple answer is no! WUKA has been committed since day one to not use any harmful chemicals in the production of our products. All of the materials that we use are planet friendly, animal friendly and contain no added chemicals, such as silver or antibacterial treatments, stain-resistant or Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs or PFSAs). All WUKA are independently tested by Highstreet Textile Testing Services Ltd (HTTS) who guarantee there is zero trace of PFA's in our products.

"Known as “forever chemicals”, PFA's are found in non-stick pans, fast food packaging, firefighting foams, and more. PFAs are called forever chemicals because their chemistry keeps them from degrading in normal environmental conditions. Some period brands use PFA's as part of their anti-stain features. The danger of PFAs is greater if ingested. Some brands have been found to use these chemicals in the production of period underwear —in the “moisture wicking” layer—bringing PFA's in direct contact with the vagina which causes major concern about the health impact these might have. Because we don’t know the possible impact that these chemicals might have, WUKA stands firm in its commitment to not include any level of traceable PFAs is our products. Because period underwear (and regular underwear !) are worn in a very sensitive area, it’s important they are made from natural materials that are kind to skin. A reminder of what WUKA products are made of: WUKA Ultimate Midi Brief, Ultimate Boxer Shorts, Bralette, Everyday Midi Brief and Bikini, and Ultimate High Waist are made from Tencel. WUKA Ultimate Bikini Brief and Ultimate Lace Period underwear are made from GOTS organic cotton (Global Organic Textile Standard). This is guaranteed to be 95% Cotton and 5% elastane. Our Perform range is made from recycled nylon. The Basics range is made from BCI certified cotton! The newest repurpose range is composed of Repurposed fabric (recycled nylon) and a cotton gusset! New Seamless Flex Stretch period underwear are made from super-soft Tencel, a super soft and elasticated material that offers you maximum comfort and leak-free coverage."

The WUKA Lace Collection work as reusable period underwear , absorbing your period flow with leak-proof layers in the gusset, with a sensual lingerie twist. Made from GOTS Certified Organic Cotton and nylon lace, they are sustainable too.

You can buy Lace Period underwear in money-saving packs, including two of our finest High Waist period-proof pairs in a duo set.

Lace Period underwear can holds up to 20 ml of period flow or light leaks, equivalent to 4 tampons' worth of period blood. What’s more, our High Waist style has ample coverage from front and back to provide you maximum comfort and protection.

With love and care, Lace Period underwear can reused for over 2 years. To keep the lace material as good as new, we suggest washing them in a laundry bag to save them from snagging in the washing machine.
