Any period pants that haven’t sold out?

41 replies

I’d love to get period pants and maybe a menstrual cup but I’m buggered if I’m handing over my hard earned cash to arseholes who erase women.

Any recommendations?

Wuka/mermaids announcement from 22 May.

The OP makes it clear I think as to the sold out meaning

Wuka's website states they are female led and their other charity partners feature the words women and girls. I'm just not going to accept that some of my money may end up in the pockets of Mermaids. 🤷‍♀️

I got a customer survey from modibodi today after a recent purchase. Asking about use of the phrase people who menstruate, among other things. Very curious to be asked.

Some definitely misunderstanding here of what you mean by “sold out” OP

OhPea · 27/06/2022 18:26

Uniqlo- not noticed any gender woo plus I really
like their period pants - so comfy.

I got my 2 teen girls primark ones but I’m on a tight budget and had to buy them 20 pairs each 😬

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 27/06/2022 18:22

I think there some confusion on this thread about “sold out” meaning “no stock available to buy” and “brand does not recognise female born women”.

IronChef · 27/06/2022 18:20

Cheeky Wipes? When I last purchase they still had 'women' and 'periods' on their site. Not looked in a while though. I hope not, they fit well and aren't too dear.

Bepenised person!

Wuka 🙄

I think their language is confusing too. Because they say their period pants are for people with a weak pelvic floor. But if I was a bepenised with a weak pelvic floor, I doubt that the period pants are designed to absorb liquid in the right places.

Tu at Sainsburys sell Love Luna period pants. The brand seems happy to use the word woman.

MummBRaaarrrTheEverLeaking · 27/06/2022 18:03

Darn, was going to buy a few more Wukas today to top up what I have and they've teamed up with flipping Mermaids! Apparently only donating on sales of their boxer short style (according to Twitter) but if the sales aren't many then I don't trust them not to give Mermaids some money anyway, and buggered if it's coming from my wallet!

Sooo...is there anything similar to Wuka without the woo? I really got on well with their pants too 😤

This cropped up on Instagram, “people in need” …Hmm what specific sex of people might need free period pants ?

sacredfeminina · 18/02/2022 23:19

My friend had a company - libby cup

FemaleAndLearning · 18/02/2022 22:47

This language is ok though.

FemaleAndLearning · 18/02/2022 22:43

Sorry just seen the Wuka statement above.

FemaleAndLearning · 18/02/2022 22:41

@Sexnotgender

Thanks. I’d rather buy from somewhere more ethical than primark.

Sorry I’m picky 🙈

Take a look on the Earthwise site. Me and my daughter's use their brand of period pads and when you buy a three they donate one to a girl in Kenya so more girls can go to school when on their period. They sell Wuka pants. earthwisegirls.co.uk/?s=Pants&post_type=product&dgwt_wcas=1

Definitely look at WearEmOut. Small local business, really great quality products.

BigHuff · 18/02/2022 22:08

Dear Kate website is full of mentions of women and girls. The pants are good, although they are pricier and shipping seems more complicated than when I bought a few years ago.

EffYouSeeKaye · 18/02/2022 21:34

I think we’re good.

Hmm. I’m going to have a look at the Modi Bodi website and see if they’ve dropped ‘women’ then. Their stock levels fluctuate a bit but I managed to get everything I need in two separate orders and a second mortgage. I’ll be pissed off if they’ve abandoned us.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 18/02/2022 21:27

Oh DAMMIT. I bought Wuka because there was no woo.
