The history of pole dancing is intricately woven with the striptease industry, a fact we acknowledge with profound respect. It is thanks to the pioneering women of this field, who showcased their strength, agility, and artistry despite societal taboos, that pole dancing could evolve and flourish. Today, pole dancing has transcended its initial context and emerged as an empowering form of fitness and creative expression. This progression has been especially meaningful for women, allowing them to explore and celebrate their bodies in new, liberating ways.
Modern-day pole dancing defies stereotypes and expectations, presenting a depth and complexity that challenges societal norms, dismantles stereotypes, and redefines the concept of femininity. This transformation wasn't sudden but the result of a steady, defiant push by countless women who saw the potential for an empowering physical discipline. As we delve deeper, we at FANNA celebrate the resilience and strength of the women who turned pole dance into a symbol of feminist empowerment.
Are you curious to learn more about the rich history of pole dancing and how it became the empowering movement it is today? Let us know if you are interested, and we'll be happy to do an extensive blog post on the topic!
We invite you to follow along as we uncover five reasons why pole dancing is not just a form of physical exercise but a feminist act in its own right. We promise that these insights will surprise you, challenge your preconceptions, and broaden your understanding of both pole dance and feminism. So, buckle up and prepare for a deep dive into the empowering world of pole dancing.
Pole dance is a celebration of the body, regardless of its size, shape, or age. It rejects the narrow beauty standards imposed by society and embraces all body types and abilities. Pole dance studios offer diverse classes that cater to different fitness levels and goals. Moreover, many pole dancers from all walks of life share their progress on social media to inspire and encourage others to join them in their fitness journey.
Discover some of our favorite pole dancers, and get inspired by them:
Pole dancing also cultivates an atmosphere of vulnerability. It requires dancers to expose their bodies in order to grip the pole, which can initially feel daunting. However, this vulnerability soon translates into a sense of liberation. Peeling away the layers of self-doubt and inhibitions leads to an acceptance and love for one's body. It teaches that strength and beauty exist in every body type, not just those depicted in traditional media. Through this acceptance, fellow pole dancers build a community where everyone feels comfortable and empowered.
Pole dance is for everyone. It welcomes women, men, and non-binary individuals to explore their bodies and express themselves creatively. Unlike other sports that often limit participation based on age, size, or gender, pole dance encourages anyone to start at any time and progress at their own pace. This inclusivity helps break down gender stereotypes and promotes mutual respect and support among participants.
Equality in pole dancing extends beyond simple inclusivity; it is about breaking barriers and challenging preconceived notions. In a pole dance class, everyone is treated equally, irrespective of age, gender, or body type. The focus shifts from societal labels to individual strengths and talents. The pole becomes the great equalizer, with each participant having the same opportunity to succeed and progress. The classroom environment is often one of camaraderie and mutual respect, where each individual's effort and progress are celebrated. This sense of equality fosters a supportive and non-judgmental community where everyone can feel free to express themselves without fear of ridicule or prejudice.
Pole dance is both art and sport. It requires strength, stamina, flexibility, and coordination, but also allows room for creativity and self-expression. Pole dancers blend acrobatics, dance, and storytelling to create unique routines that reflect their personalities and emotions. This creative outlet helps pole dancers express their femininity, sensuality, and power, which are often suppressed or judged by society.
Pole dance, as a creative sport, offers a platform to express one's emotions and ideas in a physical and highly visual manner. Dancers are able to infuse their performances with personal experiences, deep human emotion, or a narrative of their choosing, turning each routine into a unique story told through movement. The pole serves not just as a tool but as a partner in the dancer's storytelling, helping them to convey messages of power, vulnerability, or joy.
Much like a blank canvas for a painter, the pole provides an open space for dancers to create and innovate, challenging the boundaries of what is physically possible and artistically captivating. The combination of strength, agility, and creativity required in pole dancing pushes dancers to continuously evolve their techniques, styles, and expressions, making every performance a unique masterpiece.
In combining athleticism with artistry, pole dance effectively challenges the dichotomy often seen between sport and art, proving that the two can coexist harmoniously. It is this blend of physical strength and creative expression that truly sets pole dancing apart as a unique and utterly captivating discipline that is empowering women all around the world.
Pole dancers constantly challenge themselves to reach new heights, both physically and mentally. They train hard to master difficult moves that require strength, courage, and focus. Trying and failing is part of the learning process, and pole dancers learn to embrace their mistakes and celebrate their victories. This process instills a sense of accomplishment and confidence in pole dancers as they realize what their bodies are capable of.
Of course, pushing limits in pole dancing is not just about physical boundaries but also about mental barriers. Dancers often encounter moves that initially seem impossible to execute. These challenging moments, however, are opportunities for growth. They require dancers to trust their strength, balance, and coordination. As the pole dancer perseveres to conquer these challenging moves, they learn to trust their bodies more, overcoming their self-doubt and fear.
Moreover, pushing one's limits in pole dancing also involves stepping out of one's comfort zone in terms of self-expression. Traditional societal norms may make some people feel uncomfortable about expressing their sensuality or power. But pole dancing (whether it's sensual pole dance or other forms) encourages individuals to break free from these norms and explore their bodies in new, liberating ways. This level of self-expression can be a transformative experience, helping individuals to become more confident and comfortable in their own skin.
As a result, pole dancing becomes more than just a workout or a contemporary dance form. It becomes a platform of self-discovery and self-growth, where one learns to push personal boundaries and redefine what's possible. In this journey, pole dancers not only develop physical strength and flexibility but also build mental resilience and emotional bravery.
Have you ever seen a pole fitness demonstration? It goes beyond showcasing physical strength; it is a celebration of artistic expression, self-confidence, and body positivity. Follow us on Instagram to witness the true beauty and empowerment of pole dancing.
Pole dance fosters self-respect, independence, and self-acceptance, which are key factors in feminism. Pole dancers learn to listen to their bodies, set boundaries, and make choices that honor their well-being and desires. They also learn to appreciate their bodies for what they are, rather than conforming to unattainable beauty standards. Pole dance has become an empowering platform where female sexuality is celebrated and not shamed.
Pole dancing serves as a powerful tool in cultivating a deep sense of self-respect and ownership. This extends beyond mere body ownership; it is about embracing oneself holistically, appreciating the interplay of one's strengths, vulnerabilities, emotions, and desires. In pole dancing classes, participants are encouraged to respect their own pace, limitations, and progress, teaching them the value of patience and self-compassion. They become more attuned to their bodies, learning to distinguish between a healthy challenge and unnecessary strain. This fosters a unique sense of body consciousness that promotes well-being and reduces the risk of injury.
Moreover, pole dancing fosters self-acceptance. Dancers learn to appreciate their bodies not for their aesthetic appeal, but for their strength, resilience, and capability. They learn to celebrate their unique attributes instead of comparing themselves to others. This shift in perspective fosters a healthier body image and promotes self-love and acceptance, both integral components of self-respect and ownership.
In essence, pole dancing serves as a catalyst for self-discovery, fostering a deep sense of self-respect and ownership that extends beyond the dance studio and seeps into every aspect of dancers' lives. It teaches individuals to honor their bodies, assert their autonomy, and embrace their unique identities, which we believe resonates strongly with the tenets of feminism.
FANNA stands proudly at the intersection of pole dance and feminism, embodying the values of respect, equality, and empowerment. We strive to be more than just a pole wear brand; we work to be a catalyst for positive change, dedicated to fostering an environment that celebrates the strength, resilience, and uniqueness of every woman.

As an environmentally conscious clothing brand, we are committed to sustainable fashion. Our goal is to offer quality clothes that can be worn for a long time and that do not have a negative impact on the environment.
The movement that founded International Women's Day started in the 1910s. Since then, every year on March 8, we celebrate women worldwide and the efforts of those who fight for women's equality.
Equality is still far from reaching our goal. However, if we work together and fight against these problems, we can achieve our goal: a world where women and men are treated equally and where women have the same opportunities as men.
So on this Women's Day, let's remember that every day should be an opportunity to work to make women's lives and the world better. Let's remember the strong women who have worked for equality, past and present, and honor the women who fight every day to be treated equally. Let's continue to fight for equality together and let's do it so that every woman has a better future. We work on this every day at Fanna.
Happy Women's Day to all women and our FANNAWomen around the world ❤️

Our main mission at FANNA, what is the most important in our brand concept is taking care of the planet Earth.
It has been more than 3 years that we continuously work on our zero waste production, regular donations, and reaching the sustainability to the maximum possible extent.
Imagine walking barefoot on fresh grass in a forest. Isn’t it one of the best feelings in the world? Isn’t the sound of nature, the pure freshness something you wish to save for the next generations to experience it as well?
We sure do!
The Earth’s wildlife is not only interesting for its unparalleled beauty and exciting diversity. It is also key to our own health and livelihood. The complex system of ecosystems and habitats provides drinking water, clean air, topsoil, raw materials for food and medicine, and many other services without which we could not exist.
Humanity’s overconsumption is continuously on the rise, using nearly 30% more resources than the Earth can reproduce, and human activity has drastically changed the image of the Earth’s surface and the climate of our planet. As a result, the ecosystems that supports our lives have begun to collapse: extreme weather is more common, water and food shortages are becoming more frequent, high-quality production areas are shrinking, sea levels are rising and warning signs are affecting millions of people worldwide.
1% of our income between April 22nd - May 22nd will be donated to WWF Hungary, which is constantly fighting for sustainability around the world.
Their nature conservation work covers the protection of aquatic habitats, especially river and floodplain systems, the natural forests, sustainable, environmentally friendly agriculture and rural development, and last but not least the protection of endangered habitats and species. In addition, they pay great attention to reducing the effects of climate change and spread the idea of environmental awareness as widely as possible.
FANNA’s mission is to create a future that lives in harmony with humanity and nature. Our mission is to maintain biodiversity, reduce environmental pollution, promote the long-term sustainable use of everything possible, and encourage the use of sustainable clothing.
Be part of the mission, choose wisely, become a conscious wonder woman of our FANNA community!

]]>Water is elemental. Without it, nothing can grow. Water is life.
March 22 is World Water Day, a day dedicated to drawing attention to the water related issues that humans in almost every country. Growing cities and populations and a changing climate are placing unprecedented pressures on water. Nowadays water crises are among the top risks to global economic growth.
The value of water is about much more than its price – water has enormous and complex value for our households, food, culture, health, education, economics and the integrity of our natural environment. We need to work together to sustainably manage this precious resource! We all have a huge stake in the long term availability and quality of our water. Do you agree?
WHY IS WORLD WATER DAY IMPORTANT?
1. It affects millions of people: an estimated 780 million people live without clean, accessible drinking water. Drinking contaminated water can lead to a host of life threatening diseases.
2. Water pollution affects wildlife: It’s not only humans that require access to clean water. Every year, countless animals die as a result of water pollution. Pollution can occur in many ways, from physical litter to wastewater and chemicals runoff, which causes the water to become toxic to the animals that depend on it for drinking and habitation.
3. Water relates to many other environmental issues: World Water Day has a yearly theme which is dedicated to finding natural solutions to our water crises. Many of the environmental problems, such as climate change and ecosystem degradation are related to it, and sometimes direct causes, of water pollution, floods, and droughts.
Donating to the causes we deeply care about is a heartwarming. As a brand, we are very much aware that we stand in one of the most influential industries in the world – this being said, we are more than happy to take place in such an empowering and strong positions, and to be able to inspire many of you to take upon better actions.
We want to support the UNICEF organization with 1% of the incoming orders between March 22nd – April 22nd. We believe in the power of teamwork and that huge changes can be achieved even with the smallest steps. Let’s together move towards our goal and ensure that more and more people have access to healthy and safe drinking water! Click here to read more.
HOW IS UNICEF HELPING?
Together with all it’s partners, UNICEF provided access to clean drinking water to more than 2 billion people since 1990. They keep providing safe water to nearly 14 million people a year, including toilets and cleaning equipment to more than 11 million people.
UNICEF works in more than 100 countries to improve water supply and sanitation in schools and communities. It sponsors a variety of programs and collaborates with families, communities, and government agencies. It helps improve the situation of communities suffering from water scarcity and disease in emergencies. To help access water, UNICEF provides communities with mobile water tanks and water-carrying equipments, to ensure that children and their families have access to clean and safe drinking water. Among it all, they make sure to put a great importance on education, and by teaching children about the importance of washing their hands, they are able to reduce the risk of diarrhea in the deeply affected environments by 40%.
WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO?
Without action, rights are just words on paper. We must turn these rights into results! Support our #fannaworldwaterday and help us raise awareness of the importance of water, not only for survival but for sustainable futures for us all. We are thankful for each and every one of you for contributing with your order towards our World Water Day action. Every share, every word and every thought is important. Share this story with your friends!

Every year at the time of the Black Friday sales, dozens of people tend to wait in line for hours, ready to burst through the doors of their favourite fashion store and fight over the discounted pieces.
If you are interested about the main reason why we decided to stand strong behind the ANTI BLACK FRIDAY CAMPAIGN, read along.
ANTI BLACK FRIDAY AT FANNA
By encouraging the lifestyle of mindful shopping and buying less, we at FANNA take a sustainable approach and we tend to raise awareness of the environmental and social impact that the fashion industry generates. First of all, we value each and every customer of ours and celebrate slow fashion and try to make a difference with our less-impactful sustainable processes. We try to do our best to spread the word to our conscious wonder women to make the best choices possible, to stop shopping impulsively and unnecessarily!
Together with you, we want to stand up against the Black Friday campaign! We decided to increase the value of all in-person purchases by 10% and for the online purchases we will activate the possibility of leaving a TIP to support us on this journey against the Black Friday campaign on November 26th.
We will divide this extra amount collected for the campaign and turn-it into FANNA’s developing purposes on all levels needed. As we value our workers and we make sure their work is appreciated and reasonably paid, we always seek for better and we believe there’s always room to grow!
HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN DO:
WHAT IS BLACK FRIDAY REALLY ABOUT?
At the time of Black Friday sales, almost all fast fashion brands rely on customers' impulsive choices, which will make their discounts even more attractive, the brands very easily drag you into unthoughtful choices, which basically are not really necessary. High fashion stores make their clothes available at a reasonable price, but a less better quality in order to make them last shortly and to make you buy more and more each season.
It is very important to invest only in the things we truly need. Preparing a well-thought-out purchase is the best possible way to avoid impulse purchases. Instead of quantity, quality should be the number 1 thing to consider. Quality and timeless pieces will be of use for years, and what’s more, they support the idea of the green wardrobe. Far the biggest step in conscious shopping is to try and think outside the box. The key is to look beyond the curtain of advertisements, and think about the process which lays behind buying a particular product. What kind of company do you support with your money? Do you support unbelievable working conditions in a far away country where the production of the purchased product makes more waste than it’s actually worth. Or do you support an environmentally friendly company with responsible behavior?
DID YOU KNOW?
Every year, more than 98 million tons of non renewable energy source is being used in the fast fashion industry. Every year, approximately 1.2 billion co2 and 500 thousand tons of micro plastic is being released to the oceans because of all the waste the fast fashion industry generates. According to the Environmental Protection Agency 16.22 million tons of clothes were thrown out last year, from which 10.46 ended up in landfills! According to ILO in a few decades half of the paid workforce will be replaced with advanced technologies in the fashion industry.
Is this something we would you like to support? This might be something to consider.

This week we prepared special content about FANNA’s clothing manufacturing operation. We would love to share the background of our work and give you more insights into the process and lifestyle our brand represents.
The question is: WHO MADE YOUR CLOTHES?
We were inspired by the Who Made Your Clothes campaign, which draws attention to the rapidly changing shopping habits, accelerated clothing consumption, overproduction, and the environmentally damaging activity of the fashion industry. Let’s jump right into it!
As you might already know, the clothes that pop up in malls and fast-fashion companies are largely made by hard-working people who are exposed to tremendous pressure, unpaid overtime, and dangerous work environments. These decent people do the work for unimaginably low pay and they’re even deprived of their work-and-human rights.
Meanwhile, on the other side, or the “more human side of fashion” today, more and more people are paying attention to the importance of human values, protecting our environment by supporting a different way of thinking and by that, ensuring a better future for ourselves and the future generations.
We are pleased to share that FANNA pieces are made in Hungary, with a Hungarian workforce, 100% dedication, great creativity, and so much love.
I started sewing and unfolding my creativity when I was about 10 years old. My mother inspired me, she taught me lot when I was a kid. Couple of years later I graduated as a clothing engineer and have been working in this field ever since. So many great memories, awards and never ending challenges. I love the creative process behind every piece I made.”
– CSILLA, FANNA TEAM MEMBER
From the very beginning, we imagined an inspiring community of strong women gathering around our brand. Thanks to enthusiasm, dedication, and hard work that drives our team members to create, we can share our joy with you too. We do everything in our power to ensure the idea of a green wardrobe, and besides providing clothing that is environmentally conscious, sustainable, and ethical, we want you to invest in good quality-timeless pieces that you’ll be able to enjoy for years.
Is the idea of conscious, ethical shopping new to you? Don’t worry, we got you. Stay tuned!
Just like in Hungary, the idea of conscious shopping is quickly spreading worldwide. As a small business, we are happy to see so many like minded people around us, who support this particular way of thinking. We are proud to share with you how and under what circumstances are FANNA products made, and what happens with them after they came to the end of their life.
A while ago we talked about the #WHOMADEYOURCLOTHES campaign, which draws attention to the rapidly changing shopping habits, accelerated clothing consumption, overproduction, and the environmentally damaging activity of the fashion industry.
If making the best choice while shopping is important to you, and you wish to support a small bussines whit a special thinking, you might want to countinue reading!
Besides supporting conscious shopping with our mindset, it is importand to us that every Woman who wears FANNA products feels even more attractive and confident in her skin. Our pieces are for all conscious, empowering women who want to get the most out of themselves and they are also environmentally conscious at the same time.
If you asked yourself, how could you carry on and support this conscious thinking, the asnwer is simple – you are the change!
Far the biggest step in conscious shopping is to try and think outside the box. The key is to look beyond the curtain of advertisements, and think about the process which lays behind buying a particular product. What kind of comany do you support with your money? Do you support unbelievable working conditions in a far away country where the production of the purchased product makes more waste than it’s actually worth. Or do you support an environmentally friendly company with responsible behavior? This is something to consider.
Furthermore, it is very importent to invest only in the things we truly need. Preparing a well-thought-out purchase is the best possible way to avoud impulse purchases. Instead of quantity, quality should be the number 1 thing to consider. Quality and timeless pieces will be of use for years, and what’s more, they support the idea of the green wardrobe.
What else can you do?
In case your dear FANNA pieces no longer serve you, please feel free to return it to our collecting point for recycling purposes. Also, any old or outgrown jeans that are only keeping up the space in your wardrobe, are more then welcome for recycling!

Next time when you go out for a walk, or you take a quick stop at the grocery store, take a look around your surroundings and see what you can do to make it better. Begin with one corner of the park or one corner of your garden. A small area can take 15 minutes or less to pick up all the unnecessary garbage, and the feeling of accomplishment will last much longer and motivate you to keep going more and more. Where there is cleanliness, there is the presence of calm and clarity.
REMEMBER: If you try to overhaul your entire lifestyle, you’ll quickly become overwhelmed and burnout. The most sustainable changes are the ones that are personally sustainable. Start small, and start in one place…
Since COVID-19 restrictions are mostly ruling our life, we kindly ask you to respect the rules and to follow the above mentioned safety steps. In case you feel cleaning your surroundings are too much of a risk for you, here are some other options you can use to participate in our challenge:

“We never know the worth of water till the well is dry.” – Thomas Fuller
On March 22 every year, we celebrate the World Water Day. The idea behind this day is to focus on the importance of water and the need to conserve it. Without water, animals, humans and plants would all be unable to survive.
This day is the perfect time to start thinking about our water habits and perhaps begin to practise a more eco-friendly approach with some water saving tips we collected for you this week!
Although you may think you can’t make any impact, small actions taken around the home can mean a big difference when it comes to saving water. Why not challenge the whole family to save water on World Water Day and aim to change habits for the long-term?
Here are some simple water saving tips and ideas from us:

This past year has been a rather difficult one for most people, a lot of our lives have come to a halt and we’re simply unsure of what step to take next. We wanted to take a chance and reflect on all the good and positive things surrounding us. Having a negative mindset was never an option for the FANNA family itself.
We decided to dedicate the last blog post of the month to our great stuff, community and all the current and future #FANNAWOMEN members. We want to thank each one of you, for being that wonderful and inspiring woman that you are.
Every woman is a human soul but it is also a combination of love, sacrifice, knowledge, joy, hard work, beauty and last but not the least a golden heart symbolizing purity. But do not be fooled, at the base of all that beauty is feminine strength. A strong soul. When you see a beautiful woman, she has something so special about her. A quality you can’t quite put into words.
A strong woman knows that no pain is too deep, no dream is too far, no expreience is too bad. The good times and the hard times both benefit her. A strong woman stays afloat in the storms of life and besides all the strength and independence, a strong woman is also graceful, charming, and soft on the indise. Just like You, just like all our #FANNAWOMEN are!
We are completely mindblown by all the love and support our community shares. Our #FANNAWOMEN are beautiful, confident, independent, supportive, and besides all that, they are all environmentally conscious super-women! They support the same path as our brand – together we believe that better days are coming and a brighter future waits for us and for our planet.

Since this topic could be quite heavy, we wanted to reflect on parts that are most likely affecting and are benefitial to you, and to our FANNA community.
In past years, choosing sustainbale fashion has become a popular way to adopt a more eco-friendly lifestyle. So we thought – why not start with clothing? A while ago we talked about the #WHOMADEYOURCLOTHES campaign, which draws attention to the rapidly changing shopping habits, accelerated clothing consumption, overproduction, and the environmentally damaging activity of the fashion industry. Since FANNA is a sustainable brand, we think that investing in brands that follow sustainable and ethical procedures are already a great start towards change. We are proud to share how and under what circumstances are FANNA products made, and what happens with them after they came to the end of their life.If conscious shopping is new to you, click here to find out more about it.

On the other hand – we collected some easy, practical examples to try out or even stick to in everyday life to help preserve our Planet Earth:

What is sustainable packaging, you might wonder? It’s a packaging solution which has a minimal environmental impact and footprint. It’s simply a great, earth-friendly solution.
]]>We all see packaging as a huge environmental problem – there is too much of it and not enough is being done to encourage minimalisation or find better alternatives. Several years ago, going green was something that a very few businesses would have the courage to promote and think so. Fast forward today, everyone has to take a part in preserving the environment. Right?
As the saying goes:‘ THERE IS NO PLANET ‘B’. Today, we decided to share our thinking and views on this specific topics, since sending out our beautiful FANNA items to all of you, to different points of the world is part of our everyday work. Right up in the beginning, we decided to take responsibility and do everything in our power to ensure best environmentally-friendly packaging possible.
What is sustainable packaging, you might wonder? It’s a packaging solution which has a minimal environmental impact and footprint. It’s simply a great, earth-friendly solution.
Our brand is focused on sustainability and environmentally-friendly choices. Our mission is to support the world’s sustainability on a broad scale, and we belive that little changes can also make a big difference. Recycled packaging is a great way to extend the life of previously used materials. Our whole packaging is made from recycled or partially recycled materials, and as a bonus to that, with every purchase you get a free gift bag made of recycled materials (likejeans or/and other re-used materials)
There must be so many old jeans in your wardrobe – the ones that you do not really use much, the ones that do not fit you anymore, the ones that are too short, the ones that are fashionable enough and the ones that are already torn apart. All these jeans will get a chance to become something new at FANNA. Why not give them another chance at life?
Take a look at your wardrobe and separate all the jeans that are only keeping up the space in your wardrobe. Send them over to our collectiong point (prior registration nedded) for recycling purposes! We will reward you with a HUF 300 (1EUR) coupon for each pair of jeans, and the voucher can be used for any future purchases on www.fannapolewear.com within 3 months.

Our mission as a brand is to raise awareness and take social responsibility to encourage women to reach a higher level of self-acceptance and self-love.
]]>We are pretty much pushing our boundries with the type of content we prepared for this week. We’d like to open up to you and share the thinking we hold on these various but important topics.

Inspired by the Netflix series ’The Bold Type’ – we wanted to take the chance and share our thoughts on this important topics they covered in the 6th episode of the 1st season of the show, called ’The Breast Issue”. The series admirably tackles yet another issue that directly affects women. Have you watched it yet? Share your point of view with us!
Our mission as a brand is to raise awareness and take social responsibility to encourage women to reach a higher level of self-acceptance and self-love. We believe that women should be able to do what they want with their bodies. We think that it is very importan to shed more light and education on the importance of having a good relationship with your body. This kind of mind-shift can facilitate love for yourself in ways you might not have considered previously. Speaking of which, “Free the Nipple” has become a global movement that encourages equality, pride and freedom. The movement poses a simple question – both men and women have nipples; why can’t women bare theirs? If you want to sexualize your body then it’s your choice, not one that should be made for you.
Social media’s response is a reflection of the way society views this specific issue. When a photo is removed of a topless woman, it is being communicated that female breasts are meant to be viewed for pleasure and entertainment only, otherwise should be hidden. We all know that boobs come in a variety of shapes, sizes, textures and colors, and we all know that media pushes the image that we are all to be perfect, ageless, hairless, shiny, fit, beautiful no matter what. But guess what? The truth is, that we are allowed to be hairy, menstruating, squishy and even naked if we want. None of thatmakes us less beautiful and none of that makes us less feminine or less of a human.
So what happens if you don’t wear a bra, you might ask? Well, it’s about time that you become comfortable with yourself! That’s why we decided to create a little challenge for you, where you choose to do a part of your daily routine but being braless. Please keep in mind, that even a little change can make a huge impact on your life. Challenge yourself even for 5 minutes daily and try it our for a week. Do your pole or yoga practice braless, cook your dinner braless, brush your teeth braless… simply free yourself. You might found it a little strange, but keep on going. Check in with yourself emotionally, write about it. Talk to us about it. Start a topic about it. Connect with yourself on a deeper and more meaningful level. Use the hashtag #freethenippleswithFANNA if you wish to share your thoughts on any social media platform.
We support bras and tops with no paddig, since we prefer comfort over anything else. Scroll through our website to find some comfortable and cute tops and bras for yourself. If you are not sure which bra or top is the perfect fit for you, please feel free to contact us. We are more than happy to help!
Some of the side effects of being braless:
Every year the month of June is celebrated as Pride Month. This week, in honor of the Pride Month, wanted to prepare a slightly different content for our blog.
]]>Every year the month of June is celebrated as Pride Month. This week, in honor of the Pride Month, wanted to prepare a slightly different content for our blog. We thought many of you will be interested in this topic, not to mention how important we consider it to able to talk about this topic openly on our social media channels.
If you follow us for quite long, you should know by now that we love, support and strongly stand for not only women, but for all human being on this planet – no matter your age, race, gender, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation or disability.
We all carry our own meaning of life, a soul, great desires and a huge heart. We want society to accept us the way we are. We want to be seen as equal to others. We want to be able to live in a safe, loving environment. All of this might seem obvious for many of you, but it’s not for all.
’Beauty Begins The Moment You Decide To Be Yourself’
Speaking of wich, we truly think that now is time to take the opportunity to show support, to observe, listen and educate ourselves together on this ’colorful’ topics. We believe that the Pride Month itself and the Pride events taking place all over the world are made for educational purposes and they are peresentin a chance for you to express your support for your friends, family, coworkes, neighbors or other LGBTQ people in your life. They – just like you – should have the right and the opportunity to feel heard, feel safe and have equal right.
’Equality is about ensuring that every individual has an equal opportunity to make the most of their lives and talents. It is also the belief that no one should have poorer life chances because of the way they were born, where they come from, what they believe, what they stand for, or how they have look like. ’
Here are some of the hings you can do this Pride month but also all year long to support the LGBTQ people in and outside of your life.
EDUCATE YOURSELF: Don’t expect your loved ones to educate you. Show them you care by putting in time and work to understand them and the issues they are passionate about.
SHIFT YOUR MINDSET: Part of educating yourself is also reframing how you view the world around you, which might mean unlearning certain expectations or assumptions.
SUPPORT SUPPORT SUPPORT: Being supportive, understanding and loving is one of many way to be a better friend and a human being itself.
ACCEPT THE DIFFERENCES: LGBTQ people also dress different ways, speak in various manners, and express femininity and masculinity in all sorts of ways that aren’t necessarily connected to their sexual orientation or gender identity. But keep in mind that these differences makes us so special and unique. Being different is beautiful.
SHARE YOUR VOICE: Try to speak supportively of LGBTQ people, This act could even inspire others to speak up or get more involved.
DO NOT QUESTION IT, BUT RATHER ACCEPT IT: The best you can do for LGBTQ community is to accept them as they are, 100% from the bottom of your heart. This should be an absolute normal thing.
We want to support the #familyisfamily campaign among the For Rainbow Families Foundation with 1% of the incoming orders in month of June. This foundation makes it possible for children to grow up in a loving, caring and supporting environment. Together with the Family is Family association, we believe in the power of teamwork and that huge changes can be achieved with the slightest help.
FOR RAINBOWFAMILIES FOUNDATION:
‘The concept of marriage and family have been changing for the last couple of years. Although families with parents of different sexes are the idealized model, there are other (rainbow) types of families as well. Now is your chance to meet them.’
‘We believe that the most important thing for a child is to grow up in a loving and caring environment, that the concept of family is much more colorful than we’d sometimes think. Family is family, no matter the age, race, gender, religion or sexual orientation. All that matters are the people who make the family one. Learn more about the rainbow parents here!
