For Hot Flushes

Hot flushes are one of the most common- and widely known- symptoms of perimenopause, and one that can severely impact your daily life. Whether they strike during the day or at night, hot flushes can leave you feeling sweaty, uncomfortable and generally just… icky. One of the best ways to combat the side-effects of hot flushes has to be our best selling Everyday™ pants.

Made from cooling Tencel™ Modal, they’re three times softer than cotton, breathable, and have unique temperature regulating properties. 

The perfect pair of undies to gift this festive season, keeping her cool and comfy at the Christmas dinner table. Our Everyday™️ pants are available in either Midi Brief or Bikini Brief. Shop now from £15. 

For Bladder Weakness

Here at WUKA, we don’t shy away from sensitive topics, especially when it comes to urinary incontinence  and the fact that at least one in every three women will be affected. In fact, bladder weakness is more common as we get older, and can be a real concern for anyone going through menopause. Let’s ditch the shame this festive season, and embrace a practical solution instead!

Our menopause friendly DryTech™ incontinence pants are the world’s first multi-size underwear for everyday leaks. They’re an ideal solution for anyone who suffers with light leaks and dribbles, and they look just like normal underwear too. Just wear, wash and re-use- and rest assured we’ve got you covered throughout Christmas and beyond!

Featuring our innovative Stretch™ technology, each pair fits up to four sizes and will gently stretch to accommodate bloating and other body changes that occur throughout menopause. 

Available in two styles (midi brief  and high waist) and three colours (black, light nude and coral pink), our DryTech™ pants will hold up to 50ml urine. Shop now from £21.99

For weight gain 

Some things are beyond our control and when it comes to menopause it can suddenly feel as though your body is no longer your own. Lots of women experience weight gain as hormones fluctuate during this time- and let’s face it, that can feel pretty rubbish. So the last thing you want is for your pants to dig in and feel tight. Relax. WUKA Stretch™ have entered the building.

Taking the guesswork out of gifting, our Stretch™ period pants are a world first, because they’re multi-size, fitting up to four sizes in just one pair! Our patented Stretch™ technology ensures they retain their stretch and mould comfortably to all body shapes to give you a smooth, seamless and second-skin fit. 

This Christmas, our best selling Stretch period pants are available packaged in a limited edition WUKA Christmas cracker- the gift that truly keeps giving! Each cracker will fit up to two pairs of pants, making them a fun, plastic-free gift to pop under the tree!

Say goodbye to sizing dramas with a guaranteed fit that will remain super comfy regardless of body size changes or bloating. Shop now from £17.99, or £22 with Christmas cracker packaging.
