The best disposable underwear for managing female incontinence
Urinary incontinence and bladder leakage is a pretty common issue for women. A study in 2015 found that 49.9% of women in the UK experience some kind of incontinence. That’s basically half of the female population. So, if you’ve just started leaking, or you’re an incontinence veteran, it might offer some comfort knowing that there’s a good chance the woman next to you is going through a similar experience. That said though, it’s also pretty shocking. Luckily there is a huge range of products out there specifically designed for women, to help manage your symptoms.
In this article we’ll be looking at some of our top picks for disposable underwear designed to support women in managing their incontinence.
Vivactive Lady Discreet Underwear
protection. Designed to look and feel like regular underwear, they feature a discreet black feminine design, so nobody will ever know you’re wearing incontinence pants. They’re chocked full of innovative incontinence tech, like our market-leading RAPIDABSORB Tubes™. The nifty little tubes mean these disposable incontinence pants can absorb liquid 55% faster than some other pants. These tubes rapidly distribute liquid into the ultra-absorbent core, keeping you fresh, dry, and confident. But, how do they work?
Step 1:
Liquid rapidly absorbs into the tubes.
Step 2:
Channel technology enables fast and even distribution through each RAPIDABSORB tube.
Step 3:
Our RAPIDABSORB Tubes stay streamlined to avoid sagging and protect against leaks.
Our discreet underwear range are built with something called anti-leak cuffs. These cuffs sit around the leg area, where most leaks happen. They fit snug against your body, offering twice the protection against leaks than some other pants. They’re a fantastic component of any good pair of disposable pants. They work whether you're standing, sitting, or lying down.
Nobody wants nasty smells when they’re out and about. Built-in odour-control technology uses ultra-absorbent pearls to neutralise odours. As soon as liquid is absorbed into the core, it’s turned into a gel, so no unwanted smells can escape and ruin your day!
They’re also kind to your skin. Skin health is a really important part of managing incontinence, the last thing you need is irritated, or rashy skin. Our pants are dermatologically tested and latex-free. Made from soft, cotton-feel breathable material, they promote airflow to keep your skin in tip-top condition.
We’ve made disposal into a simple and easy experience. All you have to do is tear the sides away, bundle them up and pop them in the bin. No more faff.
Vivactive Lady Discreet Maxi pads are our top pick for female pads. They’re a great choice for leak protection as well as maintaining a discreet and comfortable profile. They’ve been compressed to a 50% thinner design compared to some other female incontinence pads. They’ll fit nicely inside your underwear, and you can carry a few extras in your handbag just in case you need them on the go. Our industry-leading range of female discreet pads feature innovative TRIPLE LAYER LOCK™ technology. The TRIPLE LAYER LOCK™ system helps them absorb liquid faster and locks in odour, all of this for 25% cheaper than pads you might find elsewhere.
The TRIPLE LAYER LOCK™ technology rapidly draws liquid away from your skin, so you you feel dry, comfortable, and protected. The quicker liquid is absorbed, the less likely you are to experience leaks or skin irritation. Their rapid absorption capabilities are complemented by active odour control technology, which neutralises unwanted odours straight away. How does this system work?
Layer 1:
Liquid is dispersed across the top sheet so that it can be absorbed quickly.
Layer 2:
The highly absorbent fluff fibres grab onto liquids and draw them into the pad’s core.
Layer 3:
Superabsorbent molecules inside the core absorb and lock in liquid turning it into a gel.
Vivactive Lady Discreet Maxi pads not only absorb liquid rapidly but also lock it away deep inside the core, to keep you fully protected from unwanted leaks. Despite their high absorption capacity, these pads maintain a discreet design. They’re more than 50% thinner than some other pads. Each one is individually wrapped, so you can easily pop them in your handbag without anyone knowing they’re there.
As we mentioned before, skin care is a key consideration for anyone experiencing incontinence. These pads contain a top sheet enriched with Aloe Vera, for a soft and comfortable feel. The breathable back sheet adds maintains airflow, to decrease the chances of skin irritation.
