Movement is freedom—but for athletes managing light to moderate incontinence, workouts can sometimes bring anxiety about leaks or discomfort. Whether you’re lifting weights, cycling, or doing yoga, the right incontinence wear should move with your body, stay discreet under performance gear, and keep you dry from warmup to cooldown.
Underx creates incontinence underwear designed for active lifestyles—offering protection without the bulk or noise of traditional products. With lightweight fabrics and flexible fits, you can focus on your routine, not your worries.
Why Athletes Experience Leaks
Even the most conditioned bodies experience pressure-related leaks from time to time. Activities like running, HIIT, and resistance training all create sudden abdominal pressure, which can trigger light stress incontinence. Factors such as childbirth, prostate surgery, or high-impact training often play a role too.
What matters most is finding an incontinence product that absorbs quickly, feels breathable, and stays secure through every rep and stretch.
Best Incontinence Products for Workouts
Performance-oriented protection should fit like athletic wear. Here’s what to look for:
- Moisture-wicking fabric: Keeps sweat and moisture off the skin, reducing irritation.
- Discreet fit: Choose sleek, low-profile underwear that stays invisible under leggings or shorts—like Underx Women’s Protective Underwear or Underx Men’s Incontinence Underwear.
- Secure seals: Use the 60-Second Fit & Seal Check to ensure comfort and leak prevention even during dynamic movement.
Prevention Tips Before and After Exercise
Sometimes it’s not just what you wear—but when and how you prepare. Try these simple strategies:
- Empty your bladder right before exercise.
- Stay hydrated throughout the day—dehydration can irritate the bladder and make leaks worse.
- Change promptly after workouts to prevent skin irritation. Learn more in Why Timing Matters to Prevent Leaks.
