Frequently asked questions about underwear for urine leakage
Which underwear is suitable for urine leakage?
With light urine leakage, a few drops at a time, it's all about reliable protection you can't see. Pavone is made of 95% pure bamboo and has integrated 3-layer protection. It absorbs moisture quickly and helps prevent leaking through, so you don't need a liner or pad. The underwear feels silky soft and looks like beautiful, everyday lingerie.
How much moisture can Pavone underwear absorb?
The 3-layer protection absorbs up to 50 ml and still feels dry. The Plus models Gina, Valentina and Rosa absorb up to 70 ml. That's suitable for light urine leakage, a few drops at a time, for example when laughing, sneezing, exercising or moving. Do you leak more? Then talk to your doctor or pelvic floor physiotherapist about what suits you.
Can Pavone replace panty liners or incontinence products?
For light urine leakage, a few drops at a time, Pavone is a comfortable and elegant replacement for liners and pads. The protection is built into the underwear, so you don't need an extra liner. With heavier leakage, talk to your doctor or pelvic floor physiotherapist about whether you need extra protection.
Which Pavone brief should I choose for urine leakage?
All briefs have the 3-layer protection. You choose based on fit and what you need. Would you like extra protection? Then there are the Plus models Gina, Valentina and Rosa, which absorb up to 70 ml. The Taille Rosa has full protection and is mainly designed for women with a stoma, where a little moisture from the anus may still come out, and for women with chronic bowel inflammation, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. The Bikeshort Sienna is great if you exercise or cycle a lot. We don't recommend the thong, because it causes more friction.
Can you see Pavone underwear under my clothes?
No. The 3-layer protection is discreetly built into the design, so you don't feel any bulk or liner. The underwear is wafer-thin, flattering and feels like everyday lingerie.
Can I wear Pavone while exercising too?
Yes. The underwear moves with you and is breathable and soft. For sport, there's also the bamboo sports underwear collection. It absorbs urine, sweat and menstrual blood up to 50 ml.
How do I care for my Pavone underwear?
Wash your underwear before first use, preferably at 40°C (maximum 60°C) with a low spin speed. Use a mild detergent such as Soak Scentless and no bleach or fabric softener. Let it air dry. You can find more tips in our washing instructions.
