Exciting news for women dealing with incontinence:

A promising new solution has recently hit the market.

The Leakproof Underwear

The new design, which is washable and reusable, is said to be a more discreet, comfortable, and affordable alternative compared to traditional disposable products.

But are they all they’re cracked up to be?

We’ll cover what they are, how they work and how to tell if leakproof underwear may be right for you.

Urinary incontinence — or the loss of bladder control — is a common and often embarrassing problem.

It is most common in women over 50 and can range in severity from small leaks when you cough or sneeze to an urgent need to urinate that’s so strong and sudden it is impossible to make it to a toilet in time.

There are a few different reasons it can happen, including:

While incontinence isn’t typically caused by a serious medical condition, it’s always a good idea to talk to your doctor just to make sure.

Incontinence comes in many shapes and sizes, but the important thing to understand is that there are 4 types and in order to find the best solution, first you need to know which one is affecting you.

Stress Incontinence - is when urine leaks because of pressure being placed on your bladder, whether it’s from exercise, coughing, sneezing, laughing or lifting heavy objects.

Urge Incontinence - is when you have a sudden, strong urge to pee without the ability to hold it in. This is by far the worst kind as it can happen anywhere at any time with little to no warning before.

Overflow Incontinence - happens when small amounts of urine leak from your bladder whenever it’s full. Making it the easiest form of incontinence to deal with.

Functional Incontinence - as we age and mobility gets harder and harder, people with normal bladder control can have a hard time getting to the bathroom in time to relieve themselves.

If any of those sound familiar… don’t worry. You’re not alone.

Millions of women deal with incontinence every day.

It is nothing to be ashamed of.

Sometimes lifestyle and diet changes, certain exercises like kegels, or other treatments like pelvic floor therapy can help reduce the severity of your incontinence.

But for the most part, incontinence is just something we have to manage.

If this is something you’ve been dealing with for more than a few months you’ll probably be familiar with typical incontinence products, like:

• Pads
• Panty liners
• Adult diapers

These solutions are generally effective at preventing leaks from showing through to your clothes, but they have a few big downsides…

1. Not very comfortable
2. Often thick, bulky and noticeable under clothes
3. Disposable so you have to keep buying them over and over
4. Made with plastic which isn’t good for your skin
5. Huge environmental cost (pads can take up to 800 years to decompose — crazy!)

Personally what turned me off most was the monetary cost.

Once I found out that if I use an average of 4 disposable pads a day, that it will end up costing me over $300 over the course of just 1 year… I started thinking there has to be a better way.

Leakproof underwear are a new type of underwear that are made to look and feel like regular underwear, while being 100% leakproof for light to medium incontinence.

They’re washable, reusable, and from the outside function just like regular underwear.

The difference is that they have an absorbent, moisture-wicking lining sewn right into the body of the panties. This lining is what traps and absorbs leaks and prevents moisture from getting through to your clothes.

A high quality pair of leakproof underwear works in 3 steps:

1. First it absorbs the liquid into the leakproof liner
2. Next it traps the liquid so it can’t get through to your clothes
3. Finally it wicks away the moisture to keep you comfy and dry

The beauty of leakproof underwear is that they “work in the background” so to speak.

Meaning you do not need to keep changing them out or carry a purse full of pads everywhere you go.

Put another way, they are a much more “hands off” solution.

There are a surprising number of benefits associated with using leakproof underwear:

✓ Better for the environment: disposable products go directly to landfills and create TONS of environmental waste. Leakproof underwear are washable, reusable and create 95% less waste than disposables.

✓ Healthier for you: disposables are made with toxic chemicals that can cause rashes and skin irritation as they get absorbed into the body. YUCK!

✓ Saves you a ton of money: 500 disposable pads for $120? Or 5 pairs of leakproof underwear for $60? The choice is pretty obvious in our opinion!

✓ More comfortable to wear: leakproof underwear are made of soft materials like cotton and polyester… while disposables are made of plastic. We will let you take a guess as to which feels better "down there"!

✓ Makes you feel young: this is probably the biggest benefit of owning leakproof underwear… they’re actually kind of cute! And let’s be honest, who doesn’t want to feel good in their own skin?

✓ More dignified: let’s face it, a wet piece of plastic rubbing up against your leg doesn’t exactly inspire confidence… leakproof underwear not only prevent leaks, but they make you feel good while doing it!

✓ Completely invisible under your clothes: since leakproof underwear are much thinner and more sheer than disposables, even under your tightest clothes no one will be able to tell you’re wearing them. 100% discreet protection — what a relief!

✓ Doesn’t require constant changing: the beauty of leakproof underwear is they are a “set it and forget it” kind of thing. Just put a pair on in the morning and go about your day. The undies will take car of the rest. It doesn’t get much easier than that!

✓ Reduces worry and allows you to live freely: with a high quality pair of leakproof underwear you will finally be able to stop worrying about leaks, accidents, or where the nearest restroom is.

That mental baggage disappearing from your life is an amazing feeling… it is like a giant boulder being lifted off your shoulders.
