Regain confidence and comfort with these leak-proof undies

Light bladder leakage is a common issue among women as you age – particularly if you’ve had children. But for too long females have put up with wearing uncomfortable incontinence pads to keep them protected from any accidents – big or small. They can feel like you’re wearing a nappy, which is the last thing you want, and often make you feel a lot older than you actually are.

This light bladder leakage (or LBL for short) can be due to stress incontinence – which typically sees urine leak when the bladder is under pressure (including coughing or sneezing) – or an overactive bladder, meaning you need to go to the toilet more often. In more serious cases, people can suffer from overflow incontinence, which is particularly dangerous and occurs when a person doesn’t empty their bladder, causing it to overflow.

This can be the cause of much embarrassment and worry for women over-60, as they fear an accident occurring when they’re not prepared – especially during the busy festive season when there’s a calendar full of events to attend. And, let’s face it, no one is rushing with excitement to wear the disposable incontinence products available at the supermarket.

Instead, many women are turning to Modibodi’s reusable and sustainable leak-proof undies. They are breathable, odour resistant, super absorbent, stain-resistant and wick moisture away from your skin, so you feel dry, odour-free and fresh all day long. It’s the perfect alternative to the uncomfortable disposable options found at the supermarket.

They look and feel just like regular underwear (definitely not like a nappy), and come in a range of styles and colours, including a new limited-edition range in Morocco, Sage, Tuscan and Blueberry shades. You can find them in sizes 6 to 26 and, for the first time, they cover all of Modibodi’s key absorbencies: light-moderate, moderate-heavy and heavy-overnight – depending on when you want to wear them and the level of bladder leakage.

These, like the rest of the Modibodi range, are sure to impress, with many women from around the country praising the innovative Australian company for creating undies that make them feel confident once again. Speaking about her experience wearing the underwear, one happy customer said she no longer has to worry about any little accidents occurring – something she’s battled with since having children.

“My bladder was damaged quite badly during childbirth and that was probably the catalyst for my decline in self-confidence,” she said. “I tried everything I could to accept my body and love my body and it all came to how I felt downstairs.

“Modibodi changed that for me in a way I can’t even begin to describe. It made me feel human again; it made me feel womanly. I knew that my knickers weren’t going to be soiled, or stained. I wasn’t worried about odour anymore.”

Just like your regular underwear, the Modibodi range is machine washable, preferably on a cold, gentle cycle. You can rinse them under cold running water prior to placing in the washing machine, but don’t soak in water as this could potentially cause thinning of the underwear and affect their efficiency.
