Meet Huha, the Canadian Company Rethinking Women’s Underwear

When Alexa Suter was plagued with a series of recurring UTIs in 2017, she became hyperaware of the products she was putting on her body. The Vancouver-based marketer began replacing the conventionally crafted soaps, lotions and detergents in her routine with more natural alternatives.

And, every year, they’re shown pages of gift guides featuring lists of odd and unexpected items. But here’s the thing about people who already have everything: they don’t need  a Glow in the Dark Pillow or a Wishing and Gratitude Globe . They don’t want more stuff that takes up space and doesn’t get used, no matter how precious it looks wrapped under the Christmas tree. So here’s the move: buy them something they can consume. The holidays are all about eating, drinking and being merry, and there’s no better way to celebrate the season than with an $800 wheel of cheese or a gift pack of cured Spanish meat.
