Mayana

When I started Mayana it was because I didn’t see myself represented anywhere during a very vulnerable transition of life and that’s when I realized I wasn’t alone. So I did something about it and 15 years later it feels like we’re just getting started! Undergarments are either utilitarian or made for the male gaze. Not really designed to address our needs.

Most women have never worn a bra that truly fits their body. Not because they didn’t try because the industry wasn’t built for them. Only stocking select sizing we are often forced into the wrong size. The wrong construction. The wrong assumptions about what a fuller bust, a nursing body, a body in transition actually needs.

For over a decade we have grown with you through that lived that frustration from motherhood-menopause, fuller figure and fuller cup.

Everything we do is health focused - Ethically made with sustainable laces we mill from scratch lined with organic and natural fabrics and construction for breathability with stretch to support the our ever evolving journey!

The right Undergarments have the power not only to support us but also provide indescribable confidence.

You deserve a foundation that is functional, comfortable, beautiful and is actually built for you. If you haven’t experienced that yet Book a fitting with us linked in our bio and we’ll take care of the rest!

Happy National Lingerie Day!

TW: Infertility, pregnancy loss, reproductive grief

❤️‍🩹

“…Until IVF didn’t work. That’s when I knew this was not just a hurdle on the path. It was falling off the side of a cliff. Grieving the loss of something you once had, I understood. Grieving for something you never had, that broke me.” - .loves.life

Infertility is not a personal failure. Let that land for a moment.

This week is Canadian Fertility Awareness Week and National Infertility Awareness Week in the US. Jessica is 1 in 6 people in Canada, and globally, who will face infertility in their lifetime. Most of them will face it quietly, because our culture has not made enough room for this kind of grief.

And the silence is not equal. Infertility disproportionately affects women of colour and even when they access care, racial and ethnic disparities persist in treatment success, live birth rates, and outcomes. Asian women face reduced odds of pregnancy and live birth following IVF even after controlling for age, diagnosis, and treatment response a disparity that remains poorly understood because Asian infertility in North America is one of the most understudied areas in reproductive medicine. Black women may be twice as likely as White women to experience fertility problems, yet are far less likely to seek or receive treatment. For Indigenous women, there is barely enough data collected to measure the gap at all.

That absence is its own kind of erasure. It is about who the system was built for and who it continues to leave behind.

Jessica refused to be silent. And in sharing her story, she is making space for every woman who has been carrying this alone and bringing awareness to a taboo subject.

Her message has deeply moved us all please share with those who need it.

💭 What would change if infertility research and care were built around the women most affected not the ones most visible to the system?
