"Reusable pads for incontinence? No way." — Why I changed my mind
She scrolled past the ads for months. Then one detail made her look again.
"Reusable pads for incontinence? That's a gimmick." That's exactly what I thought every time the ads came up in my feed. I'm 56 and I'd worn disposable pads since my second pregnancy.
I dismissed it every time. How is one pair of underwear going to handle real bladder leaks? I know period underwear soaks through in an hour if you push it.
Then late one night I found a long, no-script video review from a woman who'd used it for four months — and I realised I'd misunderstood what they actually sell.
It isn't just underwear. The real hero is the reusable pads. The underwear is the second piece. The pads snap in with little fabric buttons, and each one absorbs the equivalent of several disposables.
I'd been so sure it was a gimmick that my eyes skipped clean over the actual product.
If you have heavier leaks, you snap two or three in at once — a modern, properly engineered version of what our mothers used to do with folded cloth, except it fits like normal underwear and washes in a machine.
I ordered the set that night. When it arrived, the underwear actually looked stylish — high-waist, smooth, soft, breathable fabric. The next morning I snapped a pad in and went about my day.
Around 11am I sneezed and felt the leak. Then I felt nothing. No wetness, no shifting. The pad had caught it and the underwear stayed dry. After years of end-of-day discomfort, my skin simply felt better.
The routine is simple: swap just the pad when you're out (the wet bag looks like a makeup pouch), and everything goes in the machine at the end of the day in the included mesh bag.
Last weekend I wore a fitted dress to a family dinner for the first time in years and didn't brace for a leak once. These don't cure anything — but they made me forget I have it.
Here's how the whole system works.
How the Fluxe & Co underwear and reusable liners actually works
A plain-English look at the two-piece system Margaret switched to.
1 It adjusts to every day — light or heavy
It isn't one product, it's two that work together, so the protection scales to your day.
- Leak-proof underwear — soft, breathable and comfortable, no plastic backing.
- Snap-in reusable liners — add extra protection exactly where you need it.
- Just the underwear at home · one liner out and about · two or more for nights.
You swap only the liner — the underwear stays on. No spare pads crammed in your purse.
2 Natural materials against your skin
Built around a soft 4-layer leak-lock system with an antimicrobial lining that wicks moisture away from your skin. No plastic backing trapping heat, no fragrance — just a clean, breathable, comfortable feel.
3 Comfortable enough to forget you're wearing it
Many women tell us the same thing: swapping synthetic plastic for soft, breathable fabric simply feels better day to day, with far less of the end-of-day irritation disposables can cause.
"They feel like normal underwear but with real protection. So much more comfortable than what I used before."
4 Change discreetly, anywhere
The set comes with a waterproof wet bag that looks like a small cosmetics pouch. Out and about, you swap just the reusable liner in seconds — used one in the bag, fresh one in. No crinkling plastic, no bulky disposable in your handbag.

5 Washes with your regular laundry
- Rinse in cold water (optional), pop them in the included mesh bag.
- Machine wash with your normal load, hang to dry — they dry fast.
- No hand-washing, no special detergent, no fuss.
6 Wear the clothes you've been avoiding
Available in elegant beige and classic black. The beige is invisible under light fabrics — no lines, no bulk, no telltale padding. Light and breathable enough for summer heat or long trips.
"I wore them under fitted jeans and my daughter had no idea. Thin but powerful — look and feel like regular underwear."
7 A one-time buy instead of a monthly spend
Disposable pads add up to roughly $360–$480 a year — before you count creams, ruined underwear and extra trips to the store. Buying the underwear and liners once — instead of disposables every month — pays for itself fast and lasts for years (250+ washes). Less waste, too.

I was very skeptical. I'd tried “leak-proof” underwear before and they were useless. But my daughter kept pushing me because of the material they use inside. I didn't believe it, but I ordered anyway. And honestly? They actually work. 3 weeks now and not a single leak through.
What sold me was the material. I used to be a nurse, so I pay attention to what things are made of. When I saw what Fluxe And Co uses, I thought okay, this might actually be different. And it is.
My only complaint is they take a while to dry after washing. But that's it. No leaks, no odour. I just grabbed an extra pack so I always have clean ones ready.
I've spent hundreds on pads over the years. Hundreds. These cost more upfront but I've used the same pairs for 5 months now. Do the math. It's not even close.
They're good but not magic. If I have a really heavy episode I still feel a little dampness — but it doesn't leak through, and that's the difference. With pads it would've been down my leg.
They work. Not much else to say. I can finally go on my morning walks without that constant anxiety in the back of my head.
The sizing was a bit off — I ordered medium and had to exchange for large. But once I got the right size, they've been great. No leaks, no odour, and I don't feel like I'm wearing a diaper.
I wore these on a 4-hour car ride to visit my sister. Didn't have to stop once to check or change. That's never happened before.
I stopped going to my book club because I was terrified of an accident. Last week I finally went back — 3 hours sitting there, and nothing. No leaks, no smell, no worry. I almost cried in the car after.
I was worried about odour more than anything. With pads, by the end of the day I could smell myself and it was humiliating. These made a real difference there.
I used to make a checklist before leaving the house: pads, wipes, extra pants. Now I just wear these and actually enjoy being outside again thanks to Fluxe And Co.
I don't think about leaks every minute like I used to. Now I just put these on and go. They've made a big difference in my daily routine.
