Our Featured Partner: At Confitex Technology, our goal is a world where nobody needs to live in fear of life’s little leaks.
As a technology leader in the field of specialist absorbent garments, Confitex has addressed the growing demand for high-performance reusable incontinence underwear for men and women since 2013. Our market-leading textile technology provides unrivalled absorbency and leakproof performance while also being thinner than comparable alternatives and, unlike most brands, tumble dryable. Confitex uses this patented technology to make the world’s best-performing* reusable bladder leakage underwear for men and women under our consumer brands Confitex for Men and Just’nCase by Confitex for women.
*According to comparative lab-testing conducted in 2022, which compared more than 200 disposable and reusable absorbent products simulating on-body wear, body movement and bodyweight pressure.

Restoring Confidence And Dignity
At Confitex Technology, we’re driven by our desire to transform lives and help protect the planet by creating the best looking and best performing reusable absorbent and leakproof consumer products on the market. We want to restore dignity and confidence to people living with urinary incontinence, without resorting to environmentally unfriendly single-use incontinence pads, liners, shields and guards. By marrying Confitex’s patented high-tech absorbent and leakproof textile with stylish design, we aim to change the way everyday bladder leaks are handled and smash stigma along the way.
Better For The Planet, Gentler On Your Skin
Swap to our partner: Confitex underwear and you’ll prevent thousands of single-use incontinence pads and liners from ending up in landfill, where disposable absorbent hygiene products make up as much as 10 percent of waste and can take as long as 500 years to break down. Confitex incontinence products for men and women have been granted Oeko-Tex Step certification for environmentally friendly and socially responsible production, and Confitex’s absorbent textile has been certified skin-safe to Oeko-Tex Standard 100 criteria. It has also been independently lab-verified free of fluorine and therefore free of potentially harmful PFAS chemicals, including PFOA and PFOS.
An Ethical Choice
In order to retain quality control and transparency, Confitex men’s incontinence pants and women’s incontinence panties are manufactured in our own premises. Confitex’s factory and suppliers are independently audited each year to ensure they meet international Business Social Compliance Initiative best practice for ethical behavior, waste minimization, workplace health and safety, decent working hours and fair remuneration. To protect against child labor, no employees are aged under 18. We want the best for our customers, our communities and our environment, and believe that ‘cheaper’ alternatives come with hidden costs in terms of quality, humanity and sustainability.

Caring For Caregivers
One of the things that doesn’t get enough attention when it comes to living with incontinence is caregiving. Those who assist their loved ones managing their symptoms – the emotional ones as well as the physical ones – often don’t get the support they need, and that can take a tremendous toll on their own wellbeing.

The hidden side of incontinence: Mental health challenges
When most people think about the symptoms of incontinence, they think about physical things like urgency and leaks. But what’s every bit as real – and every bit as troubling – are the mental health symptoms that so many patients live with. Incontinence is significantly associated with depression, anxiety and other mental issues, and addressing them can be a particular challenge.
Today’s guest is Tina Harris from Tenderheart Health Outcomes, here to share with us important information that the team at Tenderheart has learned about mental health from their research and patient surveys. She discusses what patients and caregivers commonly experience and offers strategies to help lighten the mental burden.
