“Confitex underwear gave me back my confidence.” — Adele Johnson, mother of three

Ajolly good laugh or a hearty hug can help to make happy days. But for millions of women sudden bursts of vigour or joy also set off a twinge of angst. They’ve got the little widdle worries, or to be polite light bladder leakage. That’s LBL, for short. Whatever we call it, for one in three women, involuntar­y leakage i s a regular occurence. It might be just a couple of drops or maybe a little more, but it’s enough to be embarrassi­ng and stressful and for some, it saps confidence and becomes a handbrake on active living. For many women bladder leaks start with the birth of their first child and as they move through the milestones to menopause and beyond, LBL is a tiresome little secret. It happens because a change in oestrogen levels after childbirth can weaken the pelvic floor and impact on bladder control. As women age, oestrogen levels will continue to decline and and LBL can be life-long pesky problem leading to an expensive ‘pad’ habit. Whatever their age, women don’t want any limits on laughing and dancing and living life. So what’s a lady to do? Settle for pads, diapers and ‘oh no’ moments or fi nd another option? The solution is the revolution­ary, leakproof underwear made by Confitex in New Zealand. Confitex have developed world leading textile technology and integrated it into a stylish range of high performanc­e, reusable undies that make incontinen­ce management a much nicer thing. There’s a range to meet all needs from light to moderate or heavier requiremen­ts. They come in different styles from understate­d full basic briefs i n bamboo cotton to feminine l acy knickers, so they look and feel like regular, fashionabl­e lingerie. You’d never know these sleek, high tech undies had a hard working, three-layer system. The fi rst layer wicks away moisture, the second layer absorbs liquid and the third layer is a robust woven fabric that keeps leaks away from clothing. Clever technology and great design keep the wearer comfortabl­e, dry and odour free all day long – just like everyone else. The sassy Confitex undies are the secret weapon women are talking about. They’re the breakthrou­gh women want.
