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:

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.

And if you’re managing recovery after childbirth, surgery, or illness, see Incontinence Products for Every Lifestyle for advice on choosing the right protection for different activity levels.

Finding Confidence in Motion

Incontinence doesn’t have to sideline your fitness goals. With breathable, secure-fitting products from Underx, you can train, stretch, and sweat with confidence.

Stay active. Stay protected. And keep moving toward what makes you feel strong.
