The STRIDE Femme underwear in “lacy thong.” ($29.99)
For those who have accidental “leaking” down there (not because it’s due to our monthly cycles), there is a solution for that. Instead of wearing adult diapers or using a panty liner, you can go unconventional and wear underwear that has a built-in panty liner!
The STRIDE Femme underwear comes in fivestyles: mid rise brief, thong, seamless panty, french cut brief, and sport bikini panty. The underwear has three layers which can help absorb the liquid and helps deodorize the smell – wow sounds like a great two-in-one deal!
Like many women, the creator Wendy Spencer, has this problem with accidental bladder leaks. She was inspired by her own experiences and felt the need to create something that was effective rather than constantly changing panty liners. I’m sure she also wanted to help women still feel sexy despite their leakage problems.
Thus, the three layer panty liner not only absorbs and deodorizes, it also can be washed – meaning it can be reused!
You can purchase them at STRIDE Everyday, where the underwear ranges from $19.99 to $29.99. Wendy plans to expand the underwear line to department stores, too. There also have been requests for the men version of the underwear!
Do you think this is a great idea? Would you buy them just to test them out?

Uhh, there’s something really gross about three layers of fabric that absorb all the crap that should be disposed of. Washing only gets you so far, and besides, can’t you wash regular panties the same way? If I was okay with my underwear taking one for the team, I would just not wear pantyliners in the first place.

uh…ewwwww….

@WordsandThoughts@xanga - i think they’re talking about for like older women when they have bladder leaks, not periods.

I prefer tampons…but sure, I’d buy them because I have to try everything at least once.

The woman should wear panty liners so she can toss them out when she’s done her business on them instead of having to walk around in bad underwear.

what the fuck? normal people have this problem? sorry, but i just don’t think peeing your pants and being sexy go together. i’d choose one and stick with that.

I can see these being very useful for running or cycling long distances. I always wear a pantyliner and deodorant powder when I do that to absorb sweat and other moisture that may work its way loose (like vaginal fluids when it cleans itself out), but the back of the pantyliner always ends up all bunched up towards the back. It can be very uncomfortable.

I don’t think people realize the problem many women have once they get older with leaking… You’ll probably experience it once you have children too. It’s not very convenient or environmentally friendly to constantly be changing panty liners. I think this is a great option if you have this problem, and people need to get over the “gross” factor of it because it absorbs and deodorizes, then you wash them. It’s not like you’re swimming in it the whole day with a whole bladder’s worth of urine in your underwear, it’s just a tiny bit.

i would only wear it a few days before my period starts just in case it starts earlier than usual

I am surprised how many commenters conveniently missed the “not because it’s due to our monthly cycles” thing.
@supaflychikn@xanga - Don’t be so close-minded-you can’t “choose one”. If people have problems with leakage, it’s not because they chose to and they certainly don’t want to give up on being sexy. And yes, as mentioned earlier, normal people do have this problem. Maybe not people like you, but then again, who’s to say you’re normal?

@donspike@xanga - i may not be normal, but i also don’t go on sexy-underwear dates and simultaneously pee my pants. for the record, i wasn’t actually under the impression people chose to have bladder leakage problems. i was being facetious. in fact, i still am.

@supaflychikn@xanga - “I’d choose on and stick with that.” That pretty much implies choosing.

@supaflychikn@xanga - People with leakage don’t leak on purpose, or know when it’s going to happen. They can’t say “on this night when I have my sexy underwear date I will not leak.” It is not a choice.

@donspike@xanga - wow, you’re really killing me here. lost cause.

I’m 27 and have two kids and I have leakage. I sneeze, laugh or cough I have to cross my legs so it doesn’t happen. Having kids does that to you. I’m more than happy with my panty liners. I wouldn’t be comfortable wearing underwear that has one built in. I just don’t find it sanitary.
For the people that don’t understand and think it’s gross to have leakage, just wait to you have kids or get older. It will happen.
guest
Well…if you happen to have the issue of “accidental leakage” that was caused by childbirth or otherwise, I would hope that there are other (less bulky) options than wearing an adult diaper! But then again, I find it useless to be wearing a thong if you one does have that problem…how much coverage would that be?
guest
@mikaekie@xanga - Yay for people with sense!
Goodness, some people are ridiculous.
guest
hmmm i know it won’t be for all women, but there would be a target market for them. I think this would be a great idea. I think it would do well especially in the older generation.
guest
I think it’s a good idea.
some people are just so immature it’s almost sad.
guest
@mikaekie@xanga - THIS! Completely! I’m pretty sure you can remove 2 of the 3 panty liner layers and stash them in a little ziplock in your purse until you get home. It’s a wonderful idea.
I’m 18 and I unfortunately have light leaking problems when I cough, sneeze, laugh, fart, or even bend down weirdly. It’s infuriating and I NEVER had this problem until I had to get an ultrasound. I think drinking all that water and not being able to pee really fucked me up. I have a boyfriend and thankfully he loves me and doesn’t get grossed out if I have to run off quickly to go to the washroom

I think this is a great idea. I tend to have some leakage issues (always have) and I’ve always been really embarrassed when it has come down to some sexy time and then having to deal with the awkwardness of an obvious panty liner. I’d definitely be willing to give these a try.
