STRIDE Everday Panties Review (& Giveaway Ends 11/1)

ABOUT:

Since roughly 1 in 4 women suffer from light incontinence (small urinary leaks when one coughs, laughs, or jumps) Wendy Spencer knew something had to be done.  She herself faced light incontinence during and after her pregnancy.  Wendy felt that pantiliners were ineffective, uncomfortable and a big inconvenience, and she did not like the fact that there are more than 1.2 billion tampons, pads & pantiliners dropper in landfills annually.  She created STRIDE washable panties and briefs for a stylish solution for light leaks.

MY THOUGHTS:

Now I admit, I leak every now and then.  I have had two kids and it happens.  I don’t wear pantiliners just in case, but I do love that I could wear regular STRIDE panties comfortably and be covered for those “oops” accidents.  I remember being especially bad when I was pregnant and leaking so much I knew there was a wet spot back there, with no jacket or shirt to cover it, I just quickly hurried out of the store completely embarrassed.  Now though I understand it happens and I am not the only one.

STRIDE panties has a patented fabric technology built in called OQUOS that is able to wick moisture from the surface and convert it to a gel that is dry to the touch, deodorizes, and stays waterproof.  Now without going in details, I will say that they work!  I love that I was able to wear normal looking underwear and have a built-in pantiliner just in case.  I also want to add that these panties are strictly for urinary leaks.

The pair I got was made of nylon and spandex, came in an adorable style, and was soft and comfortable.  There is a pantiliner built right into the crouch area and it does crinkle very slightly but I haven’t noticed it when wearing them.  I think it is much better than wasting a pantiliner for nothing and they aren’t even meant to absorb urine comfortably.  The STRIDE Everyday panties are also nothing like adult diapers, from the outside they look like regular (cute) panties and inside is a secret weapon of protection built in.  They last about 100 washes and they are also great for runners!
