Reusable continence underwear for Australia: prices shown in Australian dollars, free delivery over the local equivalent of US$39, a plain box, and a 60-Day Confidence Guarantee. This page is for the Australian who has read the ProductReview scores of the washable brands, seen the word "continence" on every government page and "leak-proof" on every ad, and wants to know what actually holds a leak and what it costs.
What Australians say about the washable brands
ProductReview.com.au is the most honest source in the market. Everdries sits at 1.7 out of 5 there ("Do not buy. They leak, hold odour, not a great cut/fit", "Sizing is at least two sizes too big!", "Went straight through!"); ConfidenceClub at 2.5 (capacity claims that do not match performance); Conni at 3.8 ("Leaks at sides. Very thin liner inside pants", "Not made with strong enough elastic in the waist"). Three complaints recur: leaks at the leg, sizing that is off by two sizes, and smell. Two of those three we can answer directly, in millilitres and at the leg edge, and we say what we cannot do.
Our range, in Australian terms
| Style | For | Holds | Sizes |
|---|---|---|---|
| M65 brief with fly | Men, after-dribble, a few drops a day | 150 ml | M–2XL |
| M66 brief | Men, moderate leaks, largest size range | 200 ml | XS–8XL |
| M96 boxer brief with fly | Men, larger daytime leaks, after prostate surgery | 250 ml | XS–6XL |
| P14 leak-proof undies | Women, leaks on a sneeze, cough or run | 100 ml | XS–4XL |
| W01 full brief | Women, urge leaks, wider coverage | Full-coverage panel | L–5XL (Black to 6XL) |
| SLK8036 boyshort | Women, periods and bladder leaks in one | About 12 tampons' worth | XS–4XL |
Capacities are daytime ratings in millilitres, stated once and the same everywhere. None of these is built for a full bladder release or heavy nights. In every style the waterproof layer runs to the leg edge, which is the specific failure the ProductReview complaints describe.
What it costs, and what help exists
Prices on the product pages are shown in Australian dollars at the current rate. A rotation of six to eight pairs is a one-off purchase rated for 200+ washes; disposables are a monthly cost. Two things to check before you assume you are on your own:
- Government schemes. The Continence Aids Payment Scheme (CAPS) pays an annual amount toward continence products for eligible people with permanent and severe incontinence, and the NDIS can fund continence products in a participant's plan. Whether washable underwear qualifies under your plan is a question for your continence nurse or plan manager; ask before you buy, and keep the invoice.
- Council rebates on reusables. A number of Australian councils offer a rebate on reusable sanitary and continence products, typically a share of the purchase price up to a capped amount, alongside their cloth-nappy and menstrual-cup rebates. Check your council's website; the schemes differ and change.
The cost comparison shows the arithmetic with the assumptions stated, in US dollars; substitute your own pack prices.
The vocabulary
Government and clinical pages say "continence" and "urinary incontinence"; the ads say "leak-proof" and "bladder leaks"; people say "wee". Continence Health Australia's own page on after-dribble uses "wee" throughout. We use all of them, because the man typing "after-dribble" and the woman typing "leak-proof undies" want the same honest answer about millilitres.
Delivery, returns and the box
Orders to Australia are shipped in a plain box with nothing on the outside indicating the contents. Delivery is free over the local equivalent of US$39, which every multi-pack clears. Every pair comes with the 60-Day Confidence Guarantee: wear one pair for 60 days, keep it either way, return the unworn rest.

Common questions
Do you deliver reusable incontinence underwear to Australia?
Yes, in a plain box, with prices in Australian dollars and free delivery over the local equivalent of US$39.
Can I claim washable incontinence underwear through CAPS or the NDIS?
Possibly. CAPS pays an annual amount toward continence products for eligible people, and NDIS plans can fund continence products. Whether a washable garment qualifies under your plan is for your continence nurse or plan manager to confirm; ask first and keep the invoice.
Do councils give rebates on reusable continence products?
Some do, alongside cloth-nappy and menstrual-cup rebates, usually a share of the price up to a cap. Schemes differ by council and change; check your council's website.
Which washable brands work in Australia?
ProductReview.com.au scores are the honest guide: leaks at the leg, sizing off by two sizes and smell are the recurring complaints. Check where a brand's waterproof layer ends and whether it publishes capacity in millilitres. Ours does both.
What is the best underwear for after-dribble?
The M65 brief with fly, 150 ml, with the absorbent panel running through the fly area. Continence Health Australia's technique for reducing after-dribble is covered in our post-void dribbling guide.
Are they good for heavy or overnight leaks?
No. Our highest capacity is 250 ml for daytime use. For a full bladder release or heavy nights, a disposable remains the right product, with washables by day.
Scheme eligibility and council rebates change and differ by area; confirm with the scheme or council before relying on them. This page is general information, not medical advice.
