This comprehensive guide will show you how reusable leakproof underwear works, how to wash it properly, how long it lasts, and how much money you can save by switching from disposable liners and pads.

Why reusable leakproof underwear is better for the environment
Disposable pads contain plastic, chemicals and synthetic fibers that take hundreds of years to break down in landfills. A single woman can use between 5,000 and 8,000 disposable pads in her lifetime — most of which end up as waste.
Reusable leakproof underwear dramatically reduces this environmental footprint because:
- you reuse the same underwear for months or years
- you create 90% less waste compared to disposables
- no plastic wrappers or packaging waste
- materials are softer on the skin and more breathable
- they require far fewer resources than producing pads continuously
Upgrading to LushGuard™ washable leakproof underwear is an easy and meaningful step toward a more eco-conscious lifestyle without sacrificing comfort.
How leakproof underwear works (layer by layer)
Many women imagine leakproof underwear is thick or bulky — but high-quality reusable underwear is thin, breathable and beautifully designed. LushGuard™ uses a discreet multilayer system that absorbs leaks without feeling heavy.
1. Dry-touch top layer
A soft, smooth surface that pulls moisture away from the skin to keep you feeling dry.
2. Absorbent middle layer
Locks in light–moderate bladder leaks quickly and safely so moisture does not sit on the skin.
3. Leak-resistant bottom layer
A thin, flexible barrier preventing leaks from reaching your clothes — without adding bulk.
How to wash leakproof underwear (simple, quick & safe)
One of the biggest misconceptions is that reusable leakproof underwear requires complicated washing. In reality, it's easier than most women think.
Rinse the gusset in cold water immediately after wearing.
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with your regular laundry.
Use mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener, as it can affect absorbency.
Air-dry only. High heat can damage the waterproof layer.
How much money does reusable underwear save?
Disposable pads and liners are expensive — and the cost adds up quickly.
Most women spend:
- $10–$20 per month on disposable pads
- $120–$240 per year
- $3,000–$6,000 over 25 years
LushGuard™ reusable underwear is a one-time purchase. With proper care, each pair lasts months — sometimes years. This dramatically reduces long-term spending.
Disposable pads cost
- monthly purchase required
- produce plastic waste
- cause heat & irritation
- become more expensive over time
Reusable underwear cost
- one-time purchase
- lasts months or years
- gentle on skin
- eco-friendly
Many women save between $150 and $400 per year simply by switching from disposable pads to reusable leakproof underwear.
