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.

The Financial Impact of Incontinence: Costs You May Not See
Incontinence is often discussed in terms of symptoms and quality of life but for many people, it also brings a steady (and sometimes surprising) financial burden. Beyond the obvious cost of pads, protective underwear, and skin-care products, there can be added expenses from laundry, missed work, caregiving needs, and medical visits. The good news: understanding where the costs come from is the first step toward reducing them—and getting the right treatment can be a cost-saver, not just a health improvement.
Speaking Up About Incontinence
For many people living with bladder leaks, the hardest part isn’t the symptoms themselves.
It’s deciding to talk about them.
Bladder leaks can feel too small to mention, too embarrassing to explain, or not “serious enough” to justify a doctor’s visit. Many people quietly manage symptoms for years—adjusting their routines, limiting activities, and hoping things don’t get worse.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And you’re not wrong for feeling this way.
Incontinence by the Numbers
How common it is, why it’s increasing, and what an aging population means for patients and families
Incontinence is often treated as something people should keep private — but the reality is that it’s extremely common, and it affects millions of Americans every day.
As our population ages, especially with Baby Boomers entering older adulthood, more people are living with bladder and bowel control problems. That means more patients seeking answers, more caregivers providing support, and greater impact on families and the healthcare system.
Understanding the numbers helps reduce stigma — and reminds people that they are not alone and help is available.
