LushGuard™ is not a medical device and does not treat or cure stress incontinence. It is everyday support to help you feel drier, more comfortable, and more confident.

✓ Real-life moments women talk about

“Every time I cough or laugh too hard, I feel a small leak.”

If you notice a few drops of urine escaping when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or jog to catch the bus, you are not alone. Many women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond experience what is called stress incontinence – small leaks triggered by physical pressure on the bladder.

These leaks often show up in the most inconvenient moments: during a cold when you are coughing all day, in the middle of a funny conversation with friends, or when you are trying to enjoy a gentle workout. The leaks may be light, but the impact on your confidence can feel heavy.

Common stress-leak situations

  • A burst of laughter at work and suddenly you feel a warm drip.
  • Coughing through a winter cold and needing to change underwear often.
  • Sneezing in the supermarket and immediately checking your clothes.
  • Doing jumping jacks or squats and feeling dampness instead of strength.

What this can make you feel

  • Worried about smelling like urine, even when no one else notices.
  • Embarrassed to laugh freely or join in exercise classes.
  • Tired of using crinkly disposable pads every single day.
  • Afraid that leaks mean “something is wrong” with your body.
You deserve better than tip-toeing through your own life. Stress incontinence is common, and having a reliable, feminine layer of protection can make everyday moments feel safe again.

What Is Stress Incontinence – and Why Does It Cause Leaks When You Cough?

Stress incontinence happens when the muscles and tissues that usually help keep urine inside the bladder are not able to hold against sudden pressure. Everyday actions like coughing, sneezing, laughing, or lifting increase the pressure inside your abdomen and press down on your bladder. If the support around the bladder and urethra is a bit weaker, a small amount of urine can escape.

This does not mean your body is failing. It often reflects very normal life experiences many women share: pregnancy, vaginal birth, hormonal shifts, weight changes, or years of high-impact activity. Over time, the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding tissues may not “bounce back” as strongly as they once did.

Typical reasons women develop stress leaks

  • Pregnancy and childbirth stretching or straining the pelvic floor.
  • Hormonal changes around perimenopause and menopause.
  • Years of coughing from allergies, asthma, or smoking.
  • High-impact exercise that repeatedly loads the pelvic floor.
  • Natural changes in muscle tone as we get older.

Whatever the reason, the important thing to know is that stress incontinence is extremely common and nothing to be ashamed of. There are options to support your body while you explore lifestyle changes, pelvic floor exercises, or medical guidance if needed.

Always speak to your healthcare provider if leaks are new, severe, painful, or affecting your quality of life. LushGuard™ is about comfort and confidence, not diagnosis or treatment.

Why Not Just Use Pads or Bulky “Adult Diapers”?

Many women start by using menstrual pads or incontinence liners for stress leaks. While they can absorb moisture, they are not always comfortable as a long-term everyday solution. Pads can bunch, shift, feel plasticky against the skin, and sometimes hold onto odor. Disposable products also create regular waste and recurring costs.

On the other end of the spectrum, “adult diapers” are often designed for much heavier incontinence. For light stress leaks, they can feel oversized, noisy, and far away from the way you see yourself. You may only leak a few drops – but the products available can make you feel like your problem is much bigger.

Common frustrations with disposables

  • Plastic edges rubbing on the thighs or vulva.
  • Feeling like you are “wearing a pad” all day, every day.
  • Needing to remember to buy and stock boxes at home.
  • Throwing away multiple pads per day and feeling guilty about the waste.

What women often wish for instead

  • Something soft and breathable, like real underwear.
  • Feminine styles that do not look medical or clinical.
  • Protection they can trust when they cough or laugh.
  • A reusable option that is kinder to the planet and wallet.
LushGuard™ was created to sit quietly between “thin pad” and “bulky diaper”. It is underwear you choose because it feels good and happens to catch leaks — not a reminder that something is wrong with you.

How LushGuard™ Leakproof Underwear Helps with Stress Leaks

Every pair of LushGuard™ leakproof underwear is designed to feel like your favourite soft brief while quietly handling light–moderate stress incontinence. There is no rustling plastic, no stiff padding, and no obvious “incontinence garment” look – just smooth, feminine fabric with discreet built-in protection.

Gentle layers working together

  • A soft, breathable inner layer sits closest to your skin to help pull moisture away and reduce that damp feeling after a leak.
  • An absorbent middle panel is designed to catch light–moderate drips so small leaks from coughing or sneezing do not reach your outer clothes.
  • A discreet leak-resistant barrier helps keep liquid from passing through to your trousers or leggings during everyday movement.

The gusset panel is focused where you actually need protection – not all over the underwear – so the rest of the fabric can remain soft, stretchy, and lightweight.

Designed for daily comfort

  • Feminine silhouettes that sit smoothly under jeans or workwear.
  • Flat seams where possible to reduce visible lines.
  • Materials chosen with breathability and softness in mind.
  • Odor-control technology in the absorbent panel to help you feel fresher for longer.

For most women with stress incontinence, LushGuard™ is a practical everyday backup: you still go to the bathroom when you need to, but you are not afraid of those sudden coughs, sneezes, or bursts of laughter.

Soft, Feminine Styles That Don’t Look Like “Incontinence Products”

Stress incontinence is about how your body holds urine – not about your taste or personality. Your underwear should still feel like you. LushGuard™ styles are created to echo familiar, flattering shapes so you can build a drawer of pieces that match your wardrobe and your mood.

Everyday full brief

Gentle coverage, a higher rise, and a smoothing silhouette that many women love for busy days at work or relaxing at home. Ideal if you want to feel “held” around the lower tummy as well.

Soft high-waist

A flattering high-waist cut that pairs beautifully with dresses, trousers, and high-rise jeans. Extra coverage around the midsection without feeling restrictive.

Comfort brief for movement

A comfortable shape designed to stay in place when you walk, climb stairs, or enjoy gentle exercise – with the same built-in stress-leak support in the gusset.

Availability of specific cuts and colors can vary over time. Check the product page for current options and size details.

Where Stress-Leak Protection Makes a Difference in Your Day

A single pair of leakproof underwear can quietly support you through many different situations. Here are some of the moments where women find LushGuard™ especially helpful:

At work or in public

  • Catching a cold and coughing through meetings without packing multiple spare outfits.
  • Feeling confident to laugh with colleagues without scanning your chair afterwards.
  • Standing up from your desk knowing you have an extra layer of protection.

During movement and exercise

  • Going for a brisk walk, taking the stairs, or joining a low-impact fitness class.
  • Doing yoga or light strength training without worrying about sudden leaks.
  • Supporting your body while you gradually work on pelvic floor strength.

Social and family moments

  • Laughing with friends or family without holding back.
  • Playing on the floor with grandchildren without constantly checking your clothes.
  • Travelling, day trips, and events where bathrooms are not always nearby.

Colds, allergies, and “cough seasons”

  • Leaning on LushGuard™ more during weeks when coughing and sneezing are frequent.
  • Reducing the mental load of planning outfits around potential leaks.
  • Knowing that a small leak does not have to derail your entire day.

Supporting Your Pelvic Floor Alongside Leakproof Underwear

While LushGuard™ provides external support for leaks, many women also choose to explore gentle pelvic floor exercises to improve awareness and strength in the muscles that help support the bladder. Simple, regular practice may contribute to better control over time, especially when guided by a qualified professional.

Gentle pelvic floor mini-guide

  • Start by simply noticing: when you imagine stopping a gentle flow of urine, which muscles engage?
  • Try short “squeezes”: gently contract those muscles for a few seconds, then fully release. Avoid holding your breath or squeezing your glutes.
  • Aim for small sets across the day rather than one long, intense session.
  • If possible, seek guidance from a pelvic floor physiotherapist, especially if you have pain, prolapse symptoms, or are unsure whether you are contracting correctly.

LushGuard™ vs Pads vs Bulky Incontinence Briefs

Every woman has different needs. This simple overview can help you see where LushGuard™ typically fits in compared to common alternatives for light–moderate stress leaks.

LushGuard™ Leakproof Underwear Disposable Pads/Liners Bulky Incontinence Briefs
Best for Light–moderate stress leaks + everyday comfort. Occasional use, short-term back-up. Heavier, more continuous incontinence.
Look & feel Like regular, feminine underwear. Feels like wearing a pad inside normal underwear. Often bulky and more visible under clothes.
Reusability Reusable – wash and wear again. Single-use, thrown away after each wear. Usually disposable.
Breathability Designed with soft, breathable fabrics. Can feel warm or plasticky over time. Often heavier materials for high absorbency.
Discretion Looks like ordinary underwear, no rustling sounds. Can shift or crinkle, especially when active. May feel obvious to the wearer, even if not visible.
Environmental impact Fewer disposables going to landfill. Regular waste from daily pad use. More material per garment, often also disposable.

Easy Care Guide – Because Everyday Support Should Be Simple

Caring for your LushGuard™ leakproof underwear is designed to slot into a normal laundry routine. With the right care, your pairs can support you through many wear-and-wash cycles.

After a leak

  • Rinse the gusset area in cool water as soon as you reasonably can.
  • Gently squeeze out excess water – avoid wringing or twisting hard.
  • If you cannot wash immediately, allow them to air until wash time.

Washing and drying

  • Machine wash on a gentle or normal cycle, ideally in cool or warm water.
  • Use mild detergent and avoid fabric softener or bleach.
  • Line dry or lay flat to preserve the technical layers.

Please check the specific care instructions on the product page and garment label for the most accurate and up-to-date guidance.

What Women with Stress Leaks Often Tell Us

Every woman’s story is unique, but certain themes appear again and again when women switch from disposables to reusable leakproof underwear for stress incontinence.

“I’m not constantly checking my clothes.”

Many women say the biggest change is mental: fewer urgent trips to the bathroom just to “make sure”, and more freedom to stay present in conversations and activities.

“It feels like real underwear.”

Women often mention that they feel more themselves in soft, normal-looking underwear instead of pads or medical-style products, even though they are still managing the same leaks.

“I feel better about the waste.”

Reusing a pair of LushGuard™ instead of throwing away pads each day can feel kinder to both the planet and your budget over time.

Individual experiences vary. These are common themes shared by women using reusable leakproof underwear alongside their own pelvic health plans.

Frequently Asked Questions about Stress Incontinence & LushGuard™

Is LushGuard™ suitable for stress incontinence only, or other types too?
LushGuard™ is designed primarily for light–moderate bladder leaks, including stress leaks (from coughing, sneezing, laughing, or movement) and small “dribbles” that may happen with urgency. It is not intended for heavy, continuous incontinence or full bladder emptying. If you are unsure which type of leakage you have, your healthcare provider can help clarify this.
How many pairs do I need if I leak when I cough or sneeze?
That depends on how often you experience leaks and how often you do laundry. Many women start with 3–5 pairs so they have options across the week – for work days, movement days, and “cough season” when leaks are more frequent. You can then add more pairs once you learn which styles and colors you love most.
Will people be able to tell I’m wearing leakproof underwear?
LushGuard™ is designed to look and feel like regular underwear. The absorbent panel sits inside the gusset, and the outer fabric is chosen to sit smoothly under clothes. While no product can be completely invisible under every outfit, most women find that LushGuard™ blends into their wardrobe just like normal briefs.
Can I wear LushGuard™ for exercise or active days?
Yes, many women wear LushGuard™ on days with more movement – walking, light workouts, or playing with children and grandchildren. The aim is to give you coverage for sudden stress leaks without the shifting and bunching that sometimes happens with pads. For high-impact or very intense exercise, you may want to test at home first to see what feels most secure for you.
Does LushGuard™ replace seeing a doctor about my stress incontinence?
No. LushGuard™ is an everyday support product, not a medical treatment. It helps manage the practical side of leaks so you can feel more at ease in your daily life. If your leaks are new, severe, painful, or worrying, it is important to speak with a healthcare professional or pelvic floor specialist.
What if I sometimes have heavier leaks?
If you occasionally have a heavier leak, LushGuard™ may still be helpful as a back-up layer, but it is primarily designed for light–moderate amounts. For frequent heavy leaks or full bladder emptying, you may need products designed for higher absorbency, possibly alongside medical evaluation.
Will leakproof underwear smell?
LushGuard™ uses absorbent technology and materials chosen to help manage moisture and odor. Rinsing after a leak, washing with mild detergent, and allowing pieces to dry fully between wears all support freshness. If you ever notice a persistent strong odor, it can be a sign to wash more promptly or discuss this with a healthcare provider.
Are LushGuard™ pairs comfortable for all-day wear?
They are created with all-day comfort in mind, using soft fabrics and gentle elastics. Many women wear them from morning to evening, just like regular underwear. As with any garment, comfort can be affected by fit, so checking the size guide and measuring your waist and hips is a helpful first step.
How do I choose my size?
Start with your usual underwear size, then cross-check with the LushGuard™ size guide. If you are between sizes, think about how you like underwear to fit: a snugger fit can help keep the absorbent panel in close contact, but it should never feel restrictive or painful. Your comfort comes first.
Can I wear LushGuard™ at night?
Some women do wear LushGuard™ overnight for peace of mind with light leaks. However, for very heavy nighttime incontinence or if you tend to sleep many hours without waking, you may need higher-absorbency solutions. You can try LushGuard™ at home first and see how protected you feel in your own routine.

Give Yourself Permission to Cough, Laugh & Move Freely Again

Stress incontinence does not have to define your day. With a combination of gentle pelvic floor awareness, open conversations with your healthcare team if needed, and practical support like LushGuard™ leakproof underwear, you can rebuild trust in your own body – one small step at a time.

LushGuard™ is here to quietly catch the leaks so you can focus on what really matters: your work, your loved ones, your joy, and your life.
