Everything You Need to Know About Our New Swim Shorts

Periods shouldn’t mean missing out. Not on pool parties, not on school trips, not on cannonball competitions with your mates. And definitely not on feeling confident in your own skin. That’s why we created our new WUKA Period Swim Shorts – because sitting out, stressing out, or timing your summer around your cycle? Yeah, that’s officially over.

Here’s everything you need to know about the game-changing swim shorts that are keeping girls in the water, and in the moment:

New WUKA Swim Shorts

Just in time for pool days, school trips, and beach holidays, our new Period Swim Shorts have been designed to kick period anxiety to the curb - especially for teens, tweens, and mums packing for poolside adventures. These shorts are all about freedom, confidence, and saying yes to every swim.

🩸 The Silent Struggle We’re Solving

Let’s be real: periods have been sidelining girls for too long. Up to 78% of UK girls skip sports during their period, with swimming often the first to go. Fear of leaks, feeling awkward in swimwear, not being ready for tampons — it all adds up to missed memories, lost confidence, and dropping out of activities they love.

WUKA Swim Shorts are here to change that.

Crafted with a sleek, sporty silhouette and discreet built-in leak-proof protection, these shorts replace tampons and pads completely. You can swim freely on your period — no compromise, no fear, no awkwardness.

As our CEO and founder, Ruby, puts it:

“Too many girls skip swim lessons, beach days, or entire holidays just because they’re on their period. We created these swim shorts to give them their freedom back – with period protection that looks like regular swimwear but works like magic.”

Magic? You better believe it.

💧 How WUKA Swim Shorts Work

Under the surface (literally), our new Swim Shorts pack some serious tech:

Water-repellent outer layer — keeps pool water out
Ultra-absorbent inner gusset — locks period flow in
Shorts-style design — more coverage = more comfort = more confidence

They're tampon-free, perfect for light to medium flow, and built to feel just like your favourite swim shorts — only way smarter.

Whether you’re diving into a pool, hitting the beach, or heading off on a school trip, these shorts have your back (and your front) without making a big deal about it.

🌴 Summer Confidence, Packed

Swim season’s coming — and these shorts definitely deserve a spot in your suitcase. Designed with teens in mind, but loved by women of all ages, WUKA Swim Shorts bring together functionality, freedom, and sustainability.
They’re reusable, washable, and discreet — better for your wallet, better for the planet, and way better for your peace of mind.

“We’ve spoken to thousands of parents, girls, and athletes — and the message is clear: this product is needed,” says Ruby. “Girls shouldn’t feel sidelined by something so natural. Period swimwear should be as normal as sunscreen.”

Honestly? We couldn’t agree more.
