Allow Me to Introduce Myself

My name is Alejandra Colmenares, and Lunam was born from a simple but powerful belief:
menstrual care is not a luxury — it is a right.

As a woman, and now as a mother to a little girl, I began looking more closely at the products we use on and in our bodies. The deeper I researched conventional menstrual care, the more I realized how normalized discomfort, plastics, and questionable ingredients had become.

I didn’t start Lunam because I wanted to sell period underwear.
I started it because I wanted something better — for myself, for my daughter, and for every woman who has ever felt disconnected from her cycle.

We didn’t invent period underwear.
We simply asked: What if it could be done better?

Created by women who deeply understand the rhythm of a cyclical body, Lunam was designed to reimagine menstrual care through softness, safety, and sustainability. After months of research, intentional material sourcing, and thoughtful prototyping, we developed leakproof underwear crafted with non-toxic, breathable fabrics that feel like everyday comfort — not medical protection.

Because caring for your cycle shouldn’t feel clinical.
It should feel natural. Empowering. Beautiful.

Each Lunam piece replaces hundreds of disposable products, offering up to 12 hours of protection without toxins, waste, or compromise.

Lunam exists to:

• Normalize conversations around periods
• Provide accessible, non-toxic alternatives
• Reduce environmental waste
• Support women in every chapter of their lives

I believe vitality and radiance begin with how we care for ourselves.
And caring for your cycle is one of the most powerful forms of self-respect.

This is not just underwear.
This is a quiet revolution — designed by women, for women.

With love,
Alejandra 🤍
