What makes leakproof underwear truly “the best”?

The “best” leakproof underwear is not the one with the loudest claims. It is the one that quietly does its job day after day, without drawing attention to itself — and without reminding you of your leaks.

Truly great leakproof underwear should:

• feel soft and breathable against your skin
• absorb light–moderate leaks quickly and safely
• stay thin and discreet under clothing
• fit comfortably without digging, rolling or sliding
• look like real underwear, not a medical product
• be reusable and easy to wash

LushGuard™ was created around these exact principles: feminine designs, soft fabrics and discreet protection for women who refuse bulky pads or adult diapers.

The best leakproof underwear combines protection with softness and discreet design.

Light leaks are the most common type of bladder leakage: a few drops when you laugh, a quick dribble when you sneeze, or a small amount of moisture when you stand up or move quickly.

For light leaks, the best leakproof underwear:

• has thin, discreet absorbent layers
• feels like normal everyday underwear
• keeps the surface dry against your skin
• is breathable enough for all-day wear

LushGuard™ Light–Moderate styles were designed specifically for this. They deliver reliable protection for daily dribbles without feeling heavy, bulky or noisy — so you can get on with your day without thinking about leaks.

For light bladder leaks, thin and breathable protection is key.

After childbirth, your body needs time and kindness. Pelvic muscles are recovering, your bladder may feel less predictable and your belly can be sensitive, especially after a C-section.

The best postpartum leakproof underwear offers:

• high-waisted coverage that feels supportive, not tight
• soft, stretchy waistbands that do not dig into healing skin
• light–moderate absorbency for daily dribbles
• breathable, gentle fabrics

LushGuard™ high-waisted leakproof styles are a comforting option during this phase. They feel like a soft hug around your middle while quietly managing small leaks in the background.

Postpartum leakproof underwear should feel soft, secure and kind to your body.

During menopause, hormone changes can affect both your bladder and your skin. You may notice more frequent urges, occasional dribbles, and increased sensitivity or dryness around the intimate area.

The best menopause-friendly leakproof underwear:

• uses breathable, skin-friendly fabrics
• offers moderate absorbency for unpredictable leaks
• features soft leg openings and waistband
• avoids harsh seams in sensitive areas

LushGuard™ styles are designed to balance protection with softness, so your underwear supports your changing body instead of irritating it.

Menopause protection should feel breathable, gentle and discreet.

Overnight leaks can be especially stressful: waking up damp, worrying about the bedding, or feeling anxious about sleeping anywhere other than your own bed.

The best overnight leakproof underwear should:

• provide full-coverage protection in the gusset area
• use moderate absorbency for longer wear
• stay in place even if you move during sleep
• feel soft and non-restrictive around the waist and legs

A full brief design like LushGuard™ Overnight Support can help you relax into deeper sleep, knowing you have a protective backup.

Overnight leakproof underwear gives you permission to rest without worrying about leaks.

Whether your “exercise” is chasing children, walking the dog, going to yoga, or simply having a fast-paced workday, movement can trigger leaks.

The best active leakproof underwear:

• offers a snug but gentle fit so it doesn’t shift
• is seamless or low-profile under leggings and trousers
• provides light–moderate absorbency for dribbles
• allows your skin to breathe during activity

Seamless styles from LushGuard™ are ideal for this: they stay put, don’t show under clothes and give you the quiet reassurance that leaks won’t ruin your day or your outfit.

For active days, the best leakproof underwear moves with your body, not against it.

Some women are dealing with more than leaks. Sensitive skin, eczema, chafing and curve-related pressure points can make the wrong underwear extremely uncomfortable.

The best leakproof underwear for sensitive skin and curvier bodies will:

• use soft, breathable materials
• have wider gussets and deeper rises for better coverage
• include gentle leg openings that don’t dig in
• minimize rough seams or tags

LushGuard™ leakproof underwear is designed with curves and comfort in mind, making it a strong choice if you want both reliable protection and a forgiving, flexible fit.

How to choose the best leakproof underwear for your needs

To choose the best option for you, start with two simple questions:

• When do your leaks usually happen? (laughing, exercising, sleeping, postpartum, etc.)
• How much do you typically leak? (a few drops, a small dribble, or a slightly damp patch)

Then, match your answers with the category that fits you best:
