Redefining what it means to support changing bodies
Mayana is the new standard in women's intimates.
At Mayana, we design with intention. Our collections are not just informed by measurements—they’re shaped by the experiences of thousands of women at different life stages who refuse to compromise on style, support, or health.
Every stitch is a testament to our belief that your body deserves respect, not restriction.

Radical transparency is the core of our mission. We invite you to step inside our studio, witness the craftsmanship, and see how your essentials come to life—from the first thread to the final detail.

Nadine Woods
My journey into the world of functional bras and shapewear began out of necessity after the birth of my daughter.
I quickly realized that the industry, dominated by men making executive decisions, largely overlooked women's health, opting instead to market products that often prioritized style over function.
Faced with a frustrating selection of utilitarian garments that lacked support and sustainability, I was inspired to create something better.
At Mayana, my mission is to eliminate the guesswork for women by designing health-focused pieces.

The Mayana Philosophy
When did women’s intimates become so objectively uncomfortable? So unbearable that we count down the hours, minutes, and seconds until we take them off? When did maternity, menopause and postpartum become reasons to suffer the absence of fashion in favour of utility, or vice versa?
It seems like women’s intimates have long been designed to fit some version of a woman’s body that doesn’t really exist.
It’s time women expected more. Expected better. That’s why Mayana is redefining what it means to support a woman’s body, from motherhood to menopause and beyond. Because we believe in creating intimates for the unstoppable and ever-changing force of women. And we always will.

Made with Care in Toronto Canada
We don’t just talk about transparency—we live it, and you’re welcome to see it for yourself in person.
Our small-batch pieces are created by a team of women. We work with suppliers who share our commitment to the health and safety of everyone throughout our supply chain.
Creating Community
For too long, women have silently navigated their health journeys. Enough is enough. We're here to bring those conversations to light and support those who face them alone.
We understand real women's bodies because we've worked closely with women at every stage, from breastfeeding to post-surgery recovery, and with all body shapes and sizes. It's this deep understanding that informs every design we create.
Functional Designs
You don’t have to settle for basic and minimal. Who says ethical designs can’t be stylish too? Our signature lace makes a statement wherever you go.
Breathable fabrics free from hormone-disrupting chemicals and irritating dyes show that style and ethics can absolutely go hand in hand.
Mayana garments are made with patented technology, functional fabrics, and informed construction to support women along their evolving journeys, both physical and emotional.
