How leak-proof underwear works

If you’ve been searching for leak proof underwear, you’re not alone. Struggling with leaks can leave you feeling embarrassed, uncomfortable, and unsure what to try next. We hear it all the time: “I’ve tried everything, nothing seems to work.” The truth is, it’s not about trying everything. It’s about finding something that works for you. And that’s where Advance® comes in.

At ContinenceCare NZ, we stock the full range of Advance® continence products because we know what works. Our customers need products they can trust, not just at home, but out and about, through the night, or during a hospital stay. One of the key reasons Advance® products work so well comes down to what’s inside them.

Whether you’re managing bladder leaks during the day, staying dry through the night, or supporting a loved one as a carer, having the right product makes all the difference. That’s what we’re here to help with.

All Advance® incontinence products contain Super Absorbent Polymers (SAPs) – high-performance materials that play a key role in leak protection and skin comfort.

They sound technical, and they are, but the concept is simple.

SAPs are tiny particles that absorb liquid and turn it into a soft, stable gel.
That means moisture gets locked away, instead of sitting on the surface of the pad or against your skin.

You’ll find SAPs inside most incontinence products; but the quality, quantity, and design make a real difference. Advance® products use high-performance SAPs and distribute them in ways that make the most of every millimetre. They’re fast, effective, and reliable; just like the people who use them.

Here’s what a good SAP does (and why you’ll feel the difference):
1. You’ll stay drier for longer - SAPs wick liquid away quickly and stop it from seeping back to the surface, even when you’re sitting or moving.
2. Fewer leaks - Combined with good product design and fit, SAPs reduce overflow and help prevent leaks from the sides or back.
3. Less skin irritation - The gel layer means moisture doesn’t stay sitting against your skin, helping reduce rash, chafing or pressure-area issues.
4. More confidence - When you’re not constantly checking or second-guessing your protection, you can focus on what matters, and that’s not your bladder.

It’s not just what’s inside, it’s how you use it.

Even the most absorbent product can leak if it doesn’t fit well or isn’t changed when needed. That’s why the ContinenceCare team will always help you find the right fit, absorbency, and product combination for your needs.

* Add an Advance® Booster Pad for extra absorbency overnight

The bottom line for your continence care?
You don’t need bulky underwear or guesswork. You just need the right product, with the right support.
