Light Leaks, Zero Worries: What to Know About LBL Underwear
Let’s be real — light bladder leaks (aka LBL) happen to a lot more of us than you’d think. A sneaky sneeze, a deep belly laugh, jumping during a workout... and suddenly you’re dealing with a little unexpected trickle.
But guess what? You’re not alone, and you’re definitely not stuck with bulky panty liners or uncomfortable pads. Fri Period underwear can easily be used as LBL underwear and it's here to change the game — keeping you dry, confident, and free to live your life, leaks and all.
Wait, What Exactly Is LBL?
LBL stands for Light Bladder Leakage. It’s super common (we’re talking millions & millions of people) and often shows up:
- After pregnancy or childbirth (aka postpartum incontinence)
- During menopause
- When sneezing, coughing, or exercising (stress incontinence)
- Due to weakened pelvic floor muscles or urge incontinence
It’s nothing to be ashamed of. It just means your body needs a little backup — and that’s exactly where LBL underwear comes in.
What Is LBL Underwear?
LBL underwear (also known as urine wicking underwear or Reusable Bladder Leak Underwear) is specially designed to absorb small amounts of bladder leakage throughout the day — without the need for disposable liners.
At Fri Period, we’ve taken the same leak proof technology from our period products and adapted it for light bladder support.
Our multi-layer leak protection system features an absorbent core that traps liquid, controls odour, and locks in moisture — while keeping the undies breathable and soft.
Who’s LBL Underwear For?
Short answer? Anyone who leaks a little. Whether that’s every now and then or every single day.
LBL underwear is great for:
- Postpartum recovery
- Perimenopause or menopause
- Workout and high-movement days
- Stress incontinence
- Everyday wear if you’re just tired of pads and panty liners
It’s not medical. It’s practical.
How Does It Actually Work?
Each pair of Fri Period LBL underwear features a 4-layer absorbent gusset system, often called our “Layers of Defense”:
- Moisture-wicking top layer to wick moisture and keep you dry
- Absorbent core that handles mild incontinence
- Waterproof TPU barrier for leak-block sides and leakproof protection
- Breathable organic cotton outer layer with satin-soft feel
You get day-long comfort with discreet absorbent linings and laser-cut edges that make the underwear invisible under clothes.
Why Choose LBL Underwear Over Disposables?
Here’s why more people are ditching liners and pads:
- Comfier: No bunching, shifting or sticky adhesives
- Eco-friendly: One pair replaces hundreds of disposables
- Machine washable & reusable: Just wash and reuse
- Odour control: Built-in odour neutralising technology
- Kind to skin: Made from breathable, organic cotton and bamboo
Disposables might do the job, but LBL-friendly period underwear from Fri Period does it better.
How Do I Wash Them?
Super simple:
- Rinse in cold water after use
- Machine wash (no fabric softeners!)
- Hang to air dry
Our machine washable underwear is built to last. Pair with our waterproof wet bag to make it even easier.
