In this short article, I'm going to tell you about something I recently discovered that's completely different from anything I've recommended before.
I'll reveal the truth behind why so many common leak products, pads, diapers, liners, don't offer the kind of real protection women with incontinence deserve.
I'll explain why those so-called "leak-proof" underwear completely fail during real incontinence.
And the 'dirty material secret' you need to know about all these solutions...
...That's making leaks worse, creating that embarrassing odor, and putting your health at risk.
But here's the good news:
I'm going to share how I discovered a solution created by a fellow pelvic health specialist, Dr. Caroline Carter, and a woman named Susan who struggled with bladder leaks for over 12 years.
What they developed is finally giving women the protection they actually need, and I've seen the results firsthand with my own patients.
The Day That Made Me Realize All The Leak Solutions Are Designed To Fail Women With Incontinence
For years, I kept recommending the same things to my patients: pads, pull-ups, "leak-proof" underwear.
And for years, they kept coming back telling me nothing worked.
At first, I thought maybe they weren't using them correctly. Or maybe their incontinence was just too severe.
But then I started noticing something concerning.
Every single product was failing in the exact same way.
Leaking through. Sitting in wetness. Causing odor. Creating rashes and infections.
It didn't make sense.Why is there not a single working leak protection?
So I decided to dig deeper and find out what was actually going on with these products.
And what I discovered shocked me...
Here's The Real Reason Why Most Incontinence Solutions Out There Will Always Fail You
PADS
They shift around, often leak through, even the ones labeled as 'incontinence pads'.
And they're made with cheap plastic, BPA plastics, and chlorine bleaching.
When these chemicals sit directly against the most sensitive part of your body for hours, it leads to hormonal disruption and skin irritation.
And the cost? Pads run over $20 per month, that's $240+ every single year, plus they create massive waste for the environment.
DIAPERS
Adult diapers use the same harsh chemicals as pads, but they're even more expensive and incredibly embarrassing to wear.
Sure, they can handle a full-on bladder leak, but they create lots of other problems.
And the cost is brutal, often $40-60 per month, adding up to $600+ per year.
"LEAK-PROOF" UNDERWEAR
I think this is the biggest disappointment for my patients.
Most "leak-proof" underwear for bladder leaks is just rebranded period underwear.
That's exactly why it leaks through and fails during real incontinence episodes.
Period underwear absorbs 1-2 teaspoons slowly over hours. Bladder leaks release 2-4 ounces in seconds.
It's completely the wrong tool for the job.
But here's what I discovered: pads, pull-ups and leak-proof underwear are all using the same absorbent material—microfiber polyester.
And that's the problem.
You see, microfiber polyester was designed for menstrual flow, but urine is thinner and spreads faster.
What companies did was take period products with the same absorbent material, put on some extra layers and called it an incontinence solution.
So I asked myself: is there a material that actually works for real bladder leaks?
That's when I decided to dig deeper. And what I found changed everything...
So I Started Looking For An Answer: What Material Actually Works?
That's when I came across something that changed everything.
I discovered that a fellow pelvic health specialist, Dr. Caroline Carter, had been asking the same question.
She'd partnered with a woman named Susan who'd been struggling with incontinence for 12 years.
Susan was fed up. She'd tried everything and nothing worked.
So they decided to do something different: figure out what a REAL solution would actually need to do.
Not just "absorb a little." Not just "look discreet."
But actually solve every single problem women face with leak protection.
It would need to:
