High-waisted absorbent underwear
Find your absorbency level
Choose the protection that suits your needs — or combine several levels for complete peace of mind, day and night.
Our briefs are designed to be changed after each leak, just like regular underwear. Most of our customers keep several pairs in rotation so they always have a fresh pair to hand.
We recommend owning at least 4 to 6 pairs so you can change throughout the day, wash and rotate them without ever running out.
For heavier leaks or overnight wear, we recommend sizing up to Moderate, Heavy or Ultra Heavy for maximum dryness and complete peace of mind.
Find your perfect size
Measure your hip circumference for an accurate recommendation.
What is your hip measurement?
How to measure correctly
Using a soft tape measure, measure around the widest part of your hips (around the buttocks). Stand upright with your feet together, and keep the tape parallel to the floor without pulling tight.

Can I reuse them?
Yes, our briefs are designed to be washed and reused daily, just like regular underwear. They keep their absorbency intact for 3 to 5 years, as long as you follow the care instructions. Simply machine wash them at 30°C with a gentle detergent — and enjoy real savings whilst reducing your disposable waste.
How long can I wear them?
Our light-flow briefs absorb up to 60 ml and keep you protected for up to 10 hours during a normal day — whether you are at work, with the children, or staying active. It all depends on your personal needs: if your leaks are light and occasional, you can wear them all day just like regular underwear. If you start to feel slight dampness, simply change into a fresh pair to stay comfortable and dry.
What materials are the briefs made of?
Our briefs are made from 95% natural bamboo fibre and 5% elastane. This blend offers softness, breathability, and just the right amount of stretch for all-day comfort. Bamboo fibre is naturally antibacterial and especially gentle on the skin.
Which size should I choose?
Unsure about the right size? Do not worry. Have a look at our size guide — we recommend choosing your usual size. If you are between two sizes, it is best to go for the larger one to ensure optimal comfort.
Will the protection show under my clothes?
Not at all. Our briefs are designed with an ultra-flat profile that creates no bulk or visible lines. They stay completely discreet under any type of clothing — trousers, dresses, leggings — with nothing showing through. You stay protected without anyone ever knowing.
Do the briefs hold up after repeated washing?
Yes, our briefs are designed to last between 3 and 5 years with proper care. The materials are carefully selected for durability — they maintain their shape, softness, and absorbency even after many washes, as long as you follow the care instructions.
What's the difference with the ultra light or moderate flow briefs?
Our light flow briefs absorb up to 60 ml, the equivalent of 2 to 3 disposable pads. They are perfect for everyday small leaks, like when you laugh, sneeze, or exert yourself. The ultra light flow briefs, thinner in design, are suited for very occasional leaks (up to 20 ml). The moderate flow briefs, more absorbent, handle more frequent or heavier leaks (up to 150 ml). If your leaks are light but regular, you are in the right place.
Are these briefs suitable for light physical activity?
Yes, absolutely. Whether you are walking, doing yoga, pilates, dancing, or taking a fitness class, our light flow briefs absorb enough to keep you confident throughout your workout. For more intense sports or more frequent leaks during exertion, we recommend our moderate flow briefs. And for high-impact sports like running or HIIT, go for our heavy or ultra heavy flow levels.
