WUKA, the UK’s leading reusable period wear brand and innovator, has officially closed the “confidence gap” in competitive swimming with the launch of the UK’s first heavy flow period-proof competition swimwear collection, designed specifically for competitive swimmers, club athletes and intensive training.
Designed specifically for competitive swimmers, club athletes and intensive training – engineered with integrated period-proof technology and designed to meet the rigorous demands of club athletes, divers, and fitness swimmers, this collection enables swimmers to train and compete throughout their cycle without compromising performance, comfort or confidence.
Developed in collaboration with three-time Olympian and Commonwealth Champion Hannah Miley MBE, the new WUKA Competition Swim Range introduces the UK’s first Period-Proof Competition Legsuit alongside a Racer Back Swimsuit, Tie Back Swimsuit and Bikini Top and Bottom Set. For too long, competitive swimmers have been forced to choose between uncomfortable internal disposables or missing training entirely. With this collection WUKA expands their mission to ensure no girl or woman is sidelined by her period.
Built for Performance
The WUKA Competition Swim Range introduces four high-performance styles, setting a new standard and industry first in performance swimwear. Each piece features WUKA’s exclusive Lunafly™ print, designed to stand out on poolside while maintaining a premium competition aesthetic, and WUKA’s “invisible” innovations.
● Heavy Flow: integrated gusset holds 20ml of flow, the equivalent of three pads or four tampons, for up to four hours of continuous training.
● Quick-Dry Integrated Absorbent Technology: features a patented ultra-thin absorbent layer with a compression-inspired fit.
● Hydrodynamic Support: streamlined fits reduce drag, with built-in bust shelf liners for support during high-impact movement.
● High performance recycled materials: 100% Chlorine Resistant, UV50+protection, quick-dry technology and designed to maintain shape and compression 20x longer than standard elastane.
● Sustainability in the fast lane: One WUKA competition suit replaces the need for over 200 disposable tampons and is reusable for up to two years.
The WUKA Competition Swim Collection:
● Competition Legsuit (£70): The gold standard for racing and intensive training, offering maximum coverage and compression (thigh-skin design).
● Competition Racer Back Swimsuit (£70): A classic athletic silhouette for freedom of movement. Racerback cut, full-compression support and a leakproof gusset that keeps you protected through your heaviest training days – perfect for club training, galas, master meets and any session where you’d normally pick a one-piece.
● Competition Tie Back Swimsuit (£70): An adjustable performance fit developed for club swimmers and athletes seeking a personalised fit.
● Competition Bikini Bottom & Top Set (£80): Versatile performance wear for pool and open water.
Available in sizes XXS-L (Adult & Teen)
WUKA Founder and CEO Ruby Raut, says… “This is one of the most significant innovations we’ve introduced for athletes. Young swimmers told us they wanted swimwear that looked and performed like a serious training kit while giving them confidence during their period. The result is a collection that delivers both. From the outside, it looks like high-performance competition swimwear; inside, it contains invisible protection designed specifically for life in the water.”
Hannah Miley MBE says…”As swimmers, we spend countless hours training and building confidence in the water. No athlete should feel their period is a reason to miss a session or step away from the sport they love. Having period swimwear specifically designed for intensive swimming can make a huge difference to confidence, particularly for younger athletes navigating puberty while balancing training and competition.”
