Wuka wear is environmentally-friendly sustainable period underwear.In today’s episode, Ruby and I discuss Chhaupadi a practice in Nepal that exiled women to period huts when they were on their periods.We cover how the poor conditions around periods ultimately led to Ruby- who studied Environmental science to design and manufacture Wuka wear with no prior experience in fashion or manufacturing.In this episode, you will learn the critical elements in the manufacturing of a garment.
