Waterproof Briefs and Panties

Waterproof briefs and panties

Living with light incontinence? Explore our range of waterproof briefs and panties.

These absorbent, waterproof undergarments are made for real comfort. A waterproof brief, boxer, or panty helps with the small leaks that show up during the day, so you can feel much more secure.

Sometimes an absorbent incontinence product is not enough on its own to keep clothes dry, and a waterproof layer helps too. You will find those options in our waterproof briefs and panties range, with women's protection and men's styles, so you stay secure and clean. The ultra-soft washable adult briefs come with a built-in absorbent system, and you can add booster pads when you want as much protection as possible. Leak-proof men's briefs and women's panties are available too.

At night this kind of protection is less reliable, because of how we move in our sleep. We suggest either nighttime incontinence protection, or adding bedding protection as a backup.

What are the advantages of rubber or plastic (PVC) panties for adults?

A rubber or plastic panty is a backup layer for incontinence protection.

It is there to catch leaks. The panty goes on over the incontinence product.

Elastic at the waist and around the legs keeps fluid from running out, even with an incontinence product already in place.

Which plastic protective panty or brief should a woman choose?

A protective panty or brief is chosen one person at a time. Why?

Everyone is different, and that includes people who live with incontinence. To choose a panty or brief, look at the following:

• Incontinence level: incontinence can be light, moderate, or severe. Match the product to that level. For example, a shaped pad offers moderate coverage, and an adult brief offers heavy coverage.
• Sex: panties and briefs should match the wearer's anatomy.
• Disposable or washable: time is the deciding factor. A washable panty or brief takes time to care for.

Advantages of washable panties and plastic briefs for incontinence

Waterproof

Waterproof washable panties are often made from durable materials, so they stand up to wear and tearing.

Price

Washable panties cost less over time than disposable panties, because you can wash them and wear them again.

A greener choice

Washable panties are also a greener option than disposable panties, because they do not add to disposable waste.
