You’re not alone, and you’re not doing anything wrong. According to Harvard Health Publishing, bladder leaks are incredibly common and can result from a wide range of factors tied to your health, hormones, and life experiences. Here's a breakdown of common causes:
- Stress Incontinence: Caused by physical pressure from activities like laughing, coughing, sneezing, or exercising. Often linked to weakened pelvic floor muscles from childbirth or aging.
- Overactive Bladder (Urge Incontinence): A sudden, intense need to urinate followed by involuntary leakage. Can be due to bladder muscle overactivity or nerve damage (from diabetes, stroke, or neurological conditions).
- Mixed Incontinence: A combination of both stress and urge incontinence—very common in women, especially after childbirth or during menopause.
- Overflow Incontinence: Occurs when the bladder doesn't fully empty, leading to dribbling or unexpected leaks. May be related to nerve dysfunction, prolapse, or obstructions.
- Functional Incontinence: When physical or cognitive challenges—like arthritis, dementia, or limited mobility—make it difficult to reach the bathroom in time.
- Reflex Incontinence: Typically related to serious neurological conditions, reflex incontinence occurs when leaks occur without warning or urge due to nerve signal disruption.
Understanding the why behind incontinence is the first step in finding a solution that supports you. Saalt’s incontinence panties and briefs offer a sustainable option that meets your body exactly where it’s at—no shame, no compromise.
Empowering Women With Leakproof Confidence
For too long, too many people have managed in silence, constantly mapping out the closest restroom everywhere they go. These small rituals may show resilience and adaptability, but they also reflect a truth worth repeating: You shouldn’t have to plan your life around bathroom trips. You deserve care that takes care of your needs without compromise.
Wear What You Want. Move How You Want.
Saalt’s women’s incontinence underwear is changing the narrative. These aren’t your grandmother’s panties for incontinence (though we make sure incontinence panties for elderly needs are thoughtfully met, too). With multi-layer gusset technology that delivers breathable comfort and reliable protection, our women’s reusable incontinence briefs empower you to move through your day freely—no restrictions, no second-guessing. Whether you're heading to the office, taking a walk, or simply enjoying a quiet night in, Saalt offers dependable support that looks and feels like your favorite pair.
Empowerment Looks Like Saalt
Leakproof protection isn’t just about staying dry. It’s about showing up fully for life’s moments, big and small. Saalt’s Super Absorbency styles are engineered for powerful protection, holding up to the equivalent of 6+ pads or 8+ tampons worth of fluid. Whether you’re managing heavier bladder leaks or just want to stop worrying about the next “just in case” moment, these styles are built to keep up with your life, not slow it down.
Designed with comfort and dignity in mind, Saalt’s panties for incontinence are anything but boring. They come in multiple modern designs and colors, from dreamy soft high-waisted styles to cheeky bikini cuts in hues like ruby red, moonlit mauve, and matcha green. This way, you can wave goodbye to basic neutrals and start letting your undies embrace your personal style. Our bladder leak underwear is also available in inclusive sizing up to 4X in most styles, ensuring everyone has access to solutions that truly hug their curves.
Sustainable Solutions For Bladder Leaks
Bladder leaks may be unpredictable, but your protection doesn’t have to be. Saalt’s incontinence underwear redefines care with environmentally conscious innovation. These thoughtfully engineered garments are made with premium fabrics and are never treated with PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), which the Environmental Protection Agency links to potential reproductive and hormonal risks. If you’re looking for period underwear that's not treated with PFAS, our collection is a safe place to start.
Reusable Care For You And The Planet
Most people don’t realize just how much waste comes from conventional menstrual and bladder leak products. According to a bulletin from the World Health Organization, the average person will use around 10,000 disposable menstrual products in their lifetime. In the EU alone, more than 49 billion single-use period products are consumed annually. Despite their small size, pads and tampons are made of over 90% plastic and generate over 200,000 metric tons of waste per year in the UK alone.
The Reality Of Single-Use Disposable Period Care
The reality? Over 80% of these products wind up in landfills, where a single pad can take up to 800 years to decompose. Many others go on to clog water systems, since millions of tampons and pads are flushed daily, leading to sewage backups and pollution. Most single-use products can’t be recycled due to their synthetic materials, and when incinerated, they release toxic chemicals into the environment.
Make The Switch
That’s why Saalt’s reusable incontinence briefs offer more than leakproof peace of mind—they deliver a better way forward. Every pair replaces hundreds of disposable pads and liners, helping reduce waste, protect waterways, and shrink your environmental footprint. Because when it comes to bladder leaks, you shouldn’t have to choose between caring for yourself and caring for the planet. With Saalt, you never do.
