Incontinence might not be a topic that gets a huge amount of airtime, but it’s one that is very common. In fact, it affects 50% of adult women at some point in their life, making it absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. Luckily, thanks to the large range of incontinence underwear out there, finding the best incontinence pants that are both discreet and comfortable means dealing with a weak bladder is much easier.
“Incontinence is an uncontrollable bladder leakage that can occur during laughing, sneezing, coughing, running or daily life activities,” Dr. Saru Bala, a Licensed Naturopathic Doctor and Thinx Partner, says. There are few causes of incontinence but they all link back to weakened muscles in the pelvic floor. “This can be caused by age, postpartum, UTIs or vaginal irritation and overactive bladder,” she confirms.
Finding incontinence underwear you feel comfortable in is key, and it’s therefore essential to choose the right pair for your needs. “When buying incontinence underwear, it's important to understand the various absorbency levels and select a pair based on the type of incontinence you experience,” Dr. Bala explains. To help you with this, we have collated the best incontinence underwear to choose from.
