There is nothing more frustrating than looking forward to a beach day or a summer vacation and getting your period just before you go – typical.

Many of us are prone to avoiding going in the water and missing out on all the fun just to avoid all the hassle that goes into protecting ourselves under water.

Disposable period products that can be used in these situations are not for everyone. They can be uncomfortable, expensive and harmful for the environment. Thankfully there is a solution!

In recent years, many swimwear brands have made it their mission to reduce this problem and get you into the water even when itโ€™s that time of the month.

That’s right, period proof swimwear is now more effective than ever and itโ€™s here to ease your mind and allow you to enjoy playing mermaids once again! Here are some of our top picks for you this summer.

Nickeze is an Irish owned period friendly swimwear and underwear brand, founded by nurse Ellie, a mother of two who is passionate about helping women – young and old with their periods.

Nickeze products use a special technology that combines absorbent and leak proof technology to create the perfect period proof swimwear, ideal for athletes or casual beach goers.

Hello

After realising periods needed serious innovation, two school friends discovered Hello Cup and then Hello Period Swimwear. The brand is all about sustainability, normalising periods and creating products “for people with periods by people with periods.”

The swimwear lime from Hello is super cute and can hold as much leakage as five standard pads. The bikini bottoms come low and high waisted which is great if you prefer a bit more coverage.

WUKA

WUKA is a female led start up that began in 2017 when they became the UK’s first leak proof underwear. WUKA believes that sustainability and periods are not luxury – being sustainable even on your period should be accessible to everyone.

WUKA stands for Wake Up Kick Ass, and they’re passionate about making period care accessible for everyone, especially when you’re swimming. ย
