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.

From Postpartum to Postmenopause: The Conversations Women Need to Have
In this episode of Life Without Leaks, we’re joined by Dr. Barbara Frank of Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, along with Alex Fennell, co-founder of Attn: Grace, an innovative manufacturer of incontinence products.
Together, we explore the realities of bladder leaks and pelvic floor health during pregnancy, postpartum recovery, perimenopause and menopause, and we discuss why more women are finally beginning to talk more openly about their experiences.
The conversation covers:
• The connection between hormones, menopause and bladder leaks
• Why pelvic floor therapy is having a major moment
• The surprising relationship between pelvic floor tension and incontinence
• How products can impact skin health, comfort and UTIs
• The truth about hormone replacement therapy
• Why community and conversation matter so much in women’s health
Alex also shares the story behind Attn: Grace and the company’s mission to create cleaner, plant-based incontinence products designed to support women with comfort, dignity and confidence.
Whether you’re navigating postpartum recovery, menopause symptoms or simply looking to better understand pelvic health, this episode offers expert insights, practical advice and an encouraging reminder that no one should feel alone in these experiences.
Ask The Expert: From A Doctor’s Perspective What Are Some Common Questions You Hear?
If you’ve ever sneezed and held your breath hoping for the best, you’re not alone. Bladder leaks, pelvic floor issues, and the constellation of symptoms that go with them are incredibly common — and incredibly under-discussed. We sat down with two of our favorite experts who are changing the bladder leak conversation: Dr. Barbara Frank, Attn: Grace medical advisor and board certified OB/GYN, and Dr. Sara Reardon, pelvic floor physical therapist (and the woman your pelvic floor has been waiting to meet). They took turns asking each other the questions their patients ask most — and answered them with the same candor they bring to the exam room. They cover everything from how to prepare for postpartum, to what question to ask your own pelvic floor PT, to how to manage incontinence during menopause. This is a knowledge drop you don’t want to miss.
How Aging Changes Bladder Control — What Most People Don’t Expect
As an RN who’s worked in geriatrics for over 14 years, I know first hand that changes in bladder control can be a common part of aging. However, what I’ve also learned is that the treatment and management of these changes differ depending on whether they are due to aging or other conditions.
If you’re experiencing more frequent trips to the bathroom or sudden, intense urges to urinate, you might be wondering what is going on and what you can do about it. Let’s talk through some of the changes that might be going on in your body and how you can be better prepared to manage your bladder control.
