At Nanaimo United, we aim to create the ultimate supportive and positive environment for all our female athletes and this spring, our BCPL women’s team got the chance to work with a special, female-forward gear sponsor.
Meet Athleticus Research™: a sports apparel company based out of Vancouver designing leak-proof activewear for women.
Their mission:
“Our apparel is made for movement without limits—leakproof, distraction-free, and engineered to keep up with everything you bring to the game. You’ve always been ready. The gear just hadn’t caught up. Until now.”
“I’m super excited about our partnership with Athleticus Research because of their commitment to supporting female athletes and breaking down barriers to keep girls in sport,” expressed women’s keeper Kaiden Thorpe.
“It’s great to see organizations investing in female athletes and helping create more opportunities, resources, and confidence for athletes at all levels! A brand like Athleticus Research is so important. They’re really bringing awareness to one of the many barriers female athletes face and are definitely making the subject of menstruation less taboo.”
15 of our athletes were keen to try out Athleticus’ products and each of them were sent a special period-care bundle. Thank you, Athleticus, for your support!
