Women say they’ve 'saved hundreds of pounds' after switching to a 'life-changing' period product.
According to recent stats, the average woman spends up to £5,000 on menstrual products in their lifetime, which comes to around £10 a month.
For many, 'the time of the month' is difficult enough, without having to fork out a small fortune on tampons, pads, and menstrual cups.
But women say they've found a budget alternative and it's been hailed 'game changing' by some.
"Brilliant products, very high quality, and trustworthy materials," one five-star review reads. "I’ve used mine each month since 2020 and I would never turn back, they’ve saved me hundreds of pounds in disposables."
Another customer added, "I absolutely love this brand and their mission! I've been using their products for years and have recommended them to everyone I know.
"As someone who suffers from painful periods and used to layer multiple products - only to still worry about leaks - finding this product has been a game changer. My mattress and sheets have never been happier!"
A third shared, "They are expensive, but completely worth every penny. Particularly if you're like me and go through several sanitary products a month, accumulating to the price of these."
So, what is the period alternative everyone is raving about? Find out everything you need to know below.
Women are turning to WUKA's period underwear to save money without compromising on comfort during their time of the month.
With thousands of five-star reviews, the undies are known for their 'leak-proof' design, flexible fit, and breathable materials.
Designed with every woman in mind, there's a huge range of sizes on offer with different levels of protection including: light, medium, heavy, and super heavy.
For maximum comfort, there are also different shapes available on the website, whether you prefer a high-waisted silhouette, thong or boxer.
As though that isn't enough to keep you covered, there are swimwear and active options up for grabs, too.
According to WUKA, the brand's seamless period pants are made from innovative stretch technology, which will move alongside your body, whilst offering leak-proof protection.
In fact, the heavy flow absorbency holds up to 20ml of period blood - the equivalent of four tampons or three pads.
Its built-in gusset offers full coverage and leak-proof security for up to 12 hours, whilst the soft, breathable fabric will keep you dry all day (or night) long.
All you need to do is wash before your first wear and always use a delicate wash cycle or mesh bag after use.
The best part? The period undies are reusable for up to two years, saving hundreds of disposable tampons and pads from landfill.
At the time of writing, shoppers can buy two, get one free on all period underwear on the website here.
For instance, the offer will enable you to secure three adult pairs for just £34. That means, £68 will get you six pairs of underwear and can last you up to two years.
But you'll need to hurry if you're keen, as the offer ends on January 31, 2026.
