WUKA

The RYA is proud to partner with our first-ever Official Period Partner, WUKA, a sustainable period underwear brand dedicated to breaking down stigmas and inequalities in women’s health.   

WUKA, which stands for Wake-Up Kick Ass, shares the RYA’s commitment to inclusivity and empowerment. The brand offers period-friendly aquatic apparel and practical solutions that help women train and compete with freedom of movement and total assurance.  

As part of a one-year partnership, WUKA has been appointed Official Period Partner across key RYA programmes, including the NI Sailing Team, the RYA Scotland Performance Pathway Programme, and the British Sailing Pathways Talent Academies. Young sailors within these programmes will have access to innovative WUKA period swimwear, helping to ensure that confidence and comfort come first — so the focus while on the water remains on fun, learning and performance.  

This partnership is part of the RYA’s wider commitment to making sailing a sport where women and girls can thrive. Alongside initiatives such as the Female Futures Group, the Women’s Race Officials Programme and all new Talent Academy Female Future’s Camps; it demonstrates a continued focus on removing barriers and creating meaningful opportunities across every stage of the sailing.
