What’s the story behind your company?
The Concept of Leakproof Athletic Wear, the years of sweat, love, and loyalty that has made Lumana develop from a dream into a reality. Mid-Summer 2012, during a roof top Pilates session, wearing bright purple yoga pants, sweat was pouring through the yoga pants, feeling very self-conscious, after a male friend made the statement, “girl, this is Houston heat, not North Carolina heat” referring to the sweat “down there”. While it may seem like a comment of such would have been hurtful, it did the opposite, it sparked an idea. Utilize the technology of our parent company’s product, modify it for athletic wear, and boom, the concept of Lumana was born. The Lumana Brand was such a big team effort, designed by and for women of all ages and body types.
What do you love most about your products?
Their versatility. The classic styling of our products lend themselves to women of all ages, body types, and end use protection from every leak experienced by women at every stage of their life.
What core values are embedded into your products and work processes?
Empowering women is by far our biggest core value. We want our customers to feel protected from life’s natural leaks, without having to worry. Every design is made with functionality, comfortability, and sustainability in mind.
Where do you see your company in 5 years?
Ever evolving. We want to grow with our customers feedback to develop additional products that will continue to empower their daily lives. We want to build a community with our customers, that supports the open conversation of femininity and everything that entails, without the fear of embarrassment or shame.

I can’t wait to try these Lumana products! As a mother of two, these would alleviate any self-consciousness around just having a baby and worrying about leakage. I live in leggings and athletic wear!
