With lots of individuals in the UK struggling with bladder or bowel leaks, the thought of entering a pool can be quite overwhelming. The solution - high-quality incontinence swim shorts, especially designed by combining discreet styling and the latest technology to help you to enjoy swimming with a newfound confidence, not anxiety.

However, if you are also confused about what makes them so diapers, pads, or even regular swimwear, then this guide is for you. Let's discuss the materials and the major reason why these shorts don't absorb like regular diapers to help you enjoy both comfort and practicality during swimming.

Why Don't Standard Products Work in Water?

Some people consider wearing pads or even diapers under their swimwear. However, due to their liquid-absorbing features, they can easily soak up the water in the pools, becoming extremely heavy and uncomfortable and unsightly - the worst nightmare for individuals suffering with incontinence. In short, they lose their overall effectiveness, providing no protection against leaks in the pool.

Nevertheless, incontinence shorts for women and men, as well as kids, on the other hand, are specifically designed for water to ensure much-needed peace of mind. Moreover, instead of absorbing the pool water, they simply contain the accident inside the shorts in a very discreet manner to give you confidence with every move.

The Role of Materials in Leak Protection

The overall success of incontinence swim shorts truly depends on the smart usage of materials. Every single layer is chosen with utmost care to offer you a perfect blend of exceptional discretion, comfort, and effectiveness.

  • Durable Outer Fabric: Made from high-quality chlorine-resistant material, the outer layer regular swimwear but can effectively withstand repeated usage in pools in the long run. 

  • Waterproof Inner Brief: This hidden layer acts as an excellent barrier to prevent leaks from escaping into the pool water while enabling maximum flexibility and breathability to save you from awkward moments. The lining is extremely gentle against your skin to minimise any risks of irritation during swimming sessions.

  • Washable & Eco-Friendly: Products such as men's washable incontinence board shorts act as a practical and highly cost-effective solution over time in comparison to disposables.

Why ‘Sealing-In’ Makes All the Difference?
