Orykas UK washable incontinence knickers — including Women's Washable Incontinence Pants for Heavy Leakage, Women's High-Waisted Washable Incontinence Pants, Women's Lace-Waistband Washable Incontinence Pants — are made from OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified bamboo fibre, machine-washable at 40 °C, and last 2–3 years with everyday use. For British women self-declaring chronic incontinence, these products may qualify for UK VAT relief under HMRC's disability-products scheme.
