My mornings always begin the same way—Kundalini breathing exercises, followed by dancing barefoot to my favorite singer, Peruquois. It wakes me up better than any coffee ever could. But, of course, coffee still comes next: a rich, delicious cup I savor on my beautiful terrace overlooking the bay. The sunlight is golden, the breeze is soft, and for a moment, the world feels still—like it’s holding its breath just for me.
Next on the agenda os packing gifts for my family back home. While wrapping Moana doll for my precious niece Amal, I pause to wonder: if I could give the world an ultimate gift, what would it be?
Maybe it’s comfort—true comfort—not just for our bodies but for our health and well-being. And yet, in pursuit of this comfort, I find myself circling back to questions that leave me uneasy.
Why is it that only 4% of medical research focuses on women’s health when we make up half of the population? How is it possible that millions of women battle yeast infections, pH imbalances, UTIs, and hormonal disruptions without access to sufficient research or answers? Vaginal health keywords are lighting up Google searches, yet women are still left in the dark.
And what about the clothes closest to our skin—our underwear? Why do leading brands use fabrics laced with endocrine-disrupting chemicals, heavy metals like mercury, and plastics? These harmful materials don’t just irritate sensitive skin; they can cause far worse issues—infertility, chronic infections, and even cancers. Yes, the panties with the cute polka dots in that big-box store might be doing more harm than we know...
When a recent study exposed some of the biggest names in women’s underwear for containing toxic substances, did anyone act? Not the brands. Not the government. Not even most health organizations. These products are still on the shelves, still being bought, and still harming women’s bodies.
The truth is, women’s health is often neglected—or worse, mistreated. From synthetic fabrics that trap moisture and lead to bacterial infections to hormonal imbalances caused by toxins in everyday products, our bodies carry burdens we never signed up for. Yet, the world rarely asks why.
As Christmas approaches, I remind myself of this: self-care isn’t always wrapped in a satin bow. It’s the uncomfortable decisions—like questioning what touches your skin—that matter most. Yes, I believe in meditation, clean eating, and quality sleep. But I also believe in underwear that loves you back.
At LunaLeila, we pledge to do better. We design beautiful, breathable, and OEKO-TEX-certified underwear that respects your body—because only when you feel healthy can you truly live, serve, and enjoy life to the fullest.
Here’s to asking the hard questions, choosing better for ourselves, and wrapping ourselves in comfort that feels like freedom.
With love and light,
Luna
