LEAKS BE DAMNED
A revolutiona r y Kiw i concept of fers rel ief to t he many men and women who experience bladder l eakage.
Light bladder leakage is more common than most people think. As many as one in three women experience leaks. What is less commonly appreciated is the fact that one i n ever y ten men will too. This is caused by males today generally leading less physically demanding l i fest yles, coupled with the rise i n conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and prostate cancer which contribute to light bladder leakage (LBL). For many, everyday activities such as lifting, exercising or simply coughing and laughing can lead to unexpected leaks. For men in particular, this can come as a very awkward surprise. Trying to address these issues can further add to feelings of anxiety and embarrassment. Recognising the lack of options for both men and women that look and feel normal, New Zealand innovators Confitex have developed a worldleading moisture absorbing fabric technology that is discreetly integrated into the central panel of their leakproof underwear. Confitex’s technolog y provides a breathable, o dourless, hypo-allergenic underwear solution as an alternative to disposable pad and diaper products. Building upon their fashionable women’s range, Confitex now offer males a choice of styles, colours and absorbencies that look contemporary and stylish. The underwear is plastic free, meaning they are environmentally sustainable and, machine washable and dryer friendly just like normal briefs. The underwear has been designed and tested to perform in excess of 100 washes, making it a smart, economical choice. — Available at leading Pharmacies.
