WUKA Basics Thong - Light Flow Absorbency Period Pants

Feel comfortable and confident during menstruation with these Basics Period Thong with light absorbency by WUKA® in black. These are a perfect alternative to panty liners or light absorbent tampons for your lighter flow days.

This is a super soft, comfortable and reusable menstrual thong which has the same feel as your regular underwear. Made from sustainably sourced BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) certified cotton, these pants have the power to absorb light spotting, discharge, and is a great 'back-up' to wear with a menstural cup or tampon on heavy days. Perfect for summer, confidently wear this thong underneath shorts, dresses or gym gear and still feel protected.

We recommend sizing up in the Basics Thong as they come up a little smaller than the Tencel pants by WUKA. See the size guide below.

Each pair of WUKA period pants have a super absorbent gusset made up of many layers. The middle layers lock in and absorb the blood and the outer layer keeps you feeling dry and secure. These breathable briefs are perfect for sports activities and for school period wear, and reduce any smells or chances of infection. Choose zero waste period pants you WUKA for a comfortable and leak free period.

Washing: Hand-wash in cold water after use, then machine wash with similar colours at between 30-40° and line dry. Do not add fabric softener as this will affect absorbency. Not suitable for tumble drying.

Every WUKA prevents over 200 disposables from going to landfill with every pair. Wear, wash, reuse.

WUKA pants should withstand 20-30 washes, approximately 2 years of periods. When they have reached the end of their usefulness, the absorbent pad can be cut out and put in the bin, while the rest of the pants are certified compostable and biodegradable.

WUKA period pants are designed in the UK using Austrian Lenzing® MicroModal fabric, sustainably made from beech tree fibres especially for WUKA. This innovative fabric is 3.5x softer than fine cotton and feels incredible against the skin. Some of the great benefits of using this fabric:

• There is no wastage from offcuts as the fabric is made to exact requirements
• Energy is offset to be CO2 neutral
• 99% of greywater produced during manufacturing is recaptured and recycled
• Resistant to shrinkage and colour fading, with antibacterial properties.
• This soft, breathable and moisture wicking fabric forms the outer layers of these pants. A central layer of highly absorbent fabric absorbs blood and holds it, while a breathable but leak proof layer makes these period pants reliably period proof, with no need for additional period wear
