Follow live: The best Black Friday deals still available now

Our IndyBest team have been beavering away to find the best bargains and we were delighted to find out that Waka period pants – which came top in our recent run down of the best period pants were currently on sale at an impressive 30 per cent off.

If you’re new to the world of period pants and fancy giving them a go, Wuka are a great brand to start off with. Founded by Ruby Raut, an environmental scientist who grew up in Nepal, the brand not only offer a range of comfortable, seamless undies to suit every flow, it has also partnered with charities such as Surfers Against Sewage, Days for Girls and the Hygiene Bank. The brand is also campaigning to end the government’s 20 per cent VAT charge on period pants (it scrapped VAT on other period products such as tampons in January 2021). What’s more, a single pair of period underwear can replace 100 or more disposable pads or tampons, according to the Women’s Environmental Network. Economical and environmentally-friendly, you can save even more with this banging Black Friday deal.

Chosen as our “best overall’ product in both a recent review and a general round up of sustainable period products, it’s safe to say these pants went down well with our tester. They commented: “Wuka’s range of period pants look fab, feel great and we’re big fans. While there are some excellent options in its offering, its seamless midi brief, which was launched earlier this year, is the real stand out piece.”

If you’re worried they might feel like wearing a nappy, fret not. As our tester noted, “these are incredibly smooth and silky. They hug the body but don’t dig in and we were impressed with how discreet they looked – even when worn under a satin slip skirt, there was no significant visible panty line (VPL). At the same time, they felt secure and absorbent.”

And better still? They’re made from eco-friendly recycled nylon. Simply rinse them in cold water after use and pop them in the washing machine. You can take your pick from three flow intensities to choose from: light (one tampon’s worth), medium (two to three tampons worth) or heavy (up to four tampons worth). The light flow version of the pants are also available in the sale for £13.99.

So if you’re tempted to try a new kind of period care, this 30 per cent off deal is definitely worth snapping up. But hurry – it won’t be back every month...
