Gentle, effective protection that fits into the life you already live.
Why Daily Leak Protection Should Feel Like Self-Care
Bladder leaks aren’t just occasional. For many of us in our 40s, 50s, and beyond, they show up during our everyday routines—when we sneeze, stretch, laugh, or go about a busy day. And yet, too often, the products we rely on feel like an afterthought: bulky, uncomfortable, or overly clinical.
Leak protection shouldn’t feel like a compromise. It should feel like care.
At Attn: Grace, we believe bladder leak pads should be as thoughtfully made as anything else you choose for your body. Because if you wear something daily, it should support your comfort, your skin health, and your confidence, with dignity.
What Matters Most in a Daily Bladder Pad
Choosing the right pad isn’t just about absorbency—it’s about how well the pad fits into your lifestyle and how it supports your body throughout the day. For women managing leaks as part of their daily lives, here’s what matters:
-
Absorbency without bulk: You need protection you can count on, without feeling like you're wearing a mattress. Look for a pad that draws in moisture quickly and locks it away, keeping you dry and discreet.
-
Breathability: Trapped heat and moisture can irritate the skin, especially when worn for long stretches. A breathable design allows for better airflow, reducing the risk of skin discomfort or rash.
-
Skin-safe materials: As we age, our skin becomes thinner and more sensitive. Pads that contain dyes, fragrances, or lotions can worsen irritation or even trigger allergic reactions.
-
Odor control: This is more than just a preference—it’s a confidence booster. Reliable odor control helps you feel fresh and secure, no matter the situation
-
Secure, adaptive fit: A pad that shifts or bunches mid-walk isn’t just annoying—it can compromise protection. A good fit should feel stable during real-life movements like walking, sitting, or bending.
These aren’t just comfort preferences—they’re essential for long-term skin health. In fact, prolonged moisture exposure from incontinence has been shown to increase the risk of skin breakdown and incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) [1].
Our Pick: Attn: Grace Pads That Work with Your Routine
That’s why we created a pad that works with your day, not against it.
Attn: Grace’s pads were thoughtfully designed with your daily routine in mind. They feature our Skin-Safe™ plant-based top sheet, free from synthetic fragrances, dyes, lotions, and harmful PFAS. Instead of masking leaks with additives, we focused on what truly matters: safe, breathable comfort that supports sensitive skin.
Our pads are ultra-thin but highly absorbent, with fast-wicking cores that pull in moisture and help neutralize odor. The result? Leak protection that feels more like real underwear and less like medical gear.
When (and Why) to Switch Absorbency Levels
Just like you don’t wear the same shoes all day, every day, your needs may shift depending on your schedule. Recognizing when to adjust absorbency levels is key to staying comfortable and confident.
Here are a few examples:
-
Lighter protection may be perfect for early mornings or short errands.
-
Moderate absorbency might suit longer workdays, when you're away from home for extended periods.
-
Higher absorbency can help during travel, overnight, or long car rides when bathroom breaks are less predictable.
Your body also changes throughout your cycle, with hydration, and even with stress. Keeping a small variety of absorbency levels on hand means you’re always prepared, without over- or under-protecting.
The Skin Connection: Why Materials Matter
Skin is your body’s largest organ, and as we age, it becomes more vulnerable to irritation, dryness, and friction. If you’re wearing bladder leak pads every day, even small differences in materials can add up over time.
Non-breathable or chemically treated pads can trap heat and moisture, increasing the risk of rashes or contact dermatitis. This is particularly concerning for older skin, which heals more slowly and may already be managing changes from menopause or medication.
One study found that prolonged exposure to wetness, especially in the presence of pressure or friction, increases the risk for skin breakdown and related complications in older adults [2].
That’s why we made the conscious choice to avoid ingredients that don’t belong next to your most delicate skin. Attn: Grace pads are designed for daily wear, with a breathable, plant-based top sheet and no unnecessary additives. Because staying dry shouldn’t come at the cost of your skin’s health.
Routines That Feel Good, Start Here
Your daily routine is made up of small rituals that help you feel grounded and well: the morning stretch, the afternoon walk, the evening wind-down. Leak protection doesn’t need to interrupt those—it can support them.
At Attn: Grace, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We believe in smart, thoughtful products that adapt to your life. Our pads were created by women, for women, with deep attention to what you need, not just to manage leaks, but to live well with them.
If you’re ready for leak protection that’s as kind to your skin as it is reliable, we invite you to try Attn: Grace pads. No pressure, no gimmicks—just the comfort and confidence of a product made with your daily life in mind.
