Introducing the Always Discreet Review! As women we’re always after products that make us feel more confident and comfortable going about our daily lives.
Something that can sometimes make us feel a little uncomfortable (but shouldn’t!) is urinary incontinence, also known as bladder leakage. We all know a laugh, cough or sneeze can cause a little leak from time to time, or for some, complete loss of bladder control – but don’t worry it’s more common than you might think. One in three Australian women experience urinary incontinence in some way during the course of their lives.
Which brings us to our latest Always Discreet review from the world’s #1 Feminine Protection Company*. New to Australia and New Zealand, the Always Discreet product range has been created to support women experiencing bladder leaks. Always Discreet want us all to feel more confident and comfortable going about our daily lives, and not worry ourselves about bladder leaks anymore!
Always Discreet features a unique line-up of feminine bladder-leak protection products, including liners, pads and underwear (in a range of sizes) to meet individual needs.
Always Discreet products are better suited than a period pad for women who are experiencing bladder leakage, simply because bladder leakage or urinary incontinence involves different types of fluids and odours in comparison to menstruation.
Always Discreet consider themselves a top contender when it comes to products available on the market for urinary incontinence or bladder-leak protection and here’s why:
The Always Discreet range provides incredible protection from bladder leaks, and are surprisingly thin
The Always Discreet range feature breakthrough technology via a super-absorbent core that turns liquid into gel and locks in odours
The Always Discreet range is discreet, helping you feel more comfortable and confident going about your everyday life
As part of this review we’re asking women to try Always Discreet Liners (in normal size) or Pads (in normal size)
Suitable for light, sensitive bladder protection, Always Discreet Liners:
Are available in normal and long sizes
Are thin and flexible even when wet
Use unique Exclusive Odour Control Technology that neutralises odours instantly and continuously
Have rapid dry and odour control technology
Also in the range, the Always Discreet Pads offer additional protection for sensitive bladders. With side leak guards for extra security, they also:
Are available in small/small plus and normal
Are thin and discreet for a better fit
Have rapid dry and odour control technology and
Have an ultra-absorbent core that turns liquid to gel and locks it away
Where to buy Always Discreet products will be available from all major supermarkets and pharmacies nationwide from 17 June 2020.

Always Discreet pads are just what their name says, discreet. You won’t even know you’re wearing one.
They are comfortable to wear. No need for the extra ‘wings’, as the pads stay safely in place attached to your underwear. Now you can do those activities such as running, exercising etc. without the worry of the pad getting out of place.
The liquid is locked inside and absorbed by its super absorbent core. The pad comes with a Leak Guard to help the wetness go away from the edges.
The pads come in small, small plus and normal sizes. They are slim, yet very absorbent, and come with a lovely floral scent for odor control.
Always Discreet even went one step further to design attractive individual packaging easy to carry in your handbag.
Based on my own experience, Always Discreet pads exceeded my expectations.
They did what they said they would. I felt confident wearing them. Even after running and other type of exercises, they stayed in place. I felt comfortable and protected from any leaks with their top layer quickly absorbing any fluid away from my body.
I will be looking to buy some more of these pads. I can confidentially recommend Always Discreet pads to anyone with sensitive bladder issues. Thank you Mouths of mums for the opportunity to review these pads and to discover pads that are most suitable for me.

This review shows me wearing Always discreet pads while doing some gardening and some exercising. Having a weakened bladder I was uncomfortable with the unexpected leakage, but since wearing Always Discreet Pads I feel confident, comfortable and ready to attack any work or exercise. These pads are designed to protect from any accidental leakages and eliminate the worry, discomfort or embarrassment that many of us 'mums' might have. Based on my own experience I can recommend these pads.
Thank you Mouths of mums and Always Discreet for this opportunity.

In this review I was testing Always discreet pads while performing my daily chores. Whether I was loading the wood, pushing a heavy wheelbarrow, or carrying the wood which normally is an issue due to my weakened bladder, Always Discreet Pads did what they said they would. They protected me from any accidental leakages and I was able to continue working without a worry, discomfort or embarrassment. I even took my dog for a jog which we both enjoyed. I can confidentially recommend these pads.

Having had four kids, my pelvic floor isn’t as strong as it used to be and I get the occasional small leak.. I hadn’t really bothered with using a product to protect me, I would just change my underwear and move on. But Always Discreet has changed that! They are super thin and discreet and give me just the right level of protection.
They were comfortable, stayed in place and left me feeling fresh and confident.

Always Discreet fit perfectly and is so comfortable that I hardly knew I was wearing it. I was confident to go out for the day without worrying about having an occasional leak. I also didn’t have to visit the bathroom every 5 minutes to check if I had a leak. With the odour control technology I was less conscious about bad odour and I was able to carry a spare discreetly in my bag. I am very satisfied with this product and will continue to buy Always Discreet keeping me Always confident.

Always Discreet Liners fit perfectly inside your underwear. They are so comfortable to wear, you don't even notice you are wearing them. Each liner is very thin so you can't see it through tighter pants, there are no wings like some other brand panty liners have either which I think makes them more comfortable. Being thin I was worried about them not being absorbent enough but I needn't have been as they were perfect! Overall they have been amazing and I feel comfortable enough to wear them daily, I am definitely converted to these.

Thankyou for my sample pack. To be honest I was a little skeptical at 1st. I went out for. dinnet the other night, the 1st time in alot of years, due to a leaky bladder. I wore leggings and just a blouse, and you definitely could NOT tell I was wearing 1. It left me feeling dry, no odour, discreet and very comfortable. After a very rushed hysterectomy due to Cervical, Ovarian and fallipan tube cancer, and having a catheter in for many many months afterwards, I lost full control over my bladder, and had to retrain it, but it never went back to normal, and I was ok with that, at least the cancer was gone. But it did leave me very self conscious and not wanting to go out anywhere. I tried other products, but none were exactly what I needed and didnt work right and were bulky and uncomfortable. I have let my mum and older sister know, as they too had the same problem with their bladders due to age, children and cancef.. Thank you for giving me my life back. Highly recommended xx

These are awesome and made me a ruthless stressed about my leaky bladder.. I felt confident they would protect me through my eight hour shift. They are thin and pleasant smelling and don't feel like your even wearing them. Will buy again for sure.

This product alone doesn't meet my need. I use it as a top layer to catch the leak, so I won't have to change the 2nd thicker pad & Depend underpants so many times.
Its absorbency is not as satisfactory as I'd like it to be, but does perform slightly better than other brands I've tried.
Not effective to catch all leak when used alone, as it keeps folding up on the sides due to its thiness. Have to keep adjusting to fold it down flat again & again. Also not wide enough to cover the full width of undies/underpants so doesn't prevent spillover.

I was sceptical that these Always Discreet pads would work as they are so thin, but I was very presently surprised. The difference from my normal bulky pads was great, you hardly realised that you were wearing one. I will most definitely purchase them again and will most definitely recommend them to my friends.

Great Wgen you just don't make it to the loo in time!
Thin, and great coverage. You won't need to keep spare undies in your bag or car anymorr. Now you only need one of these. It foldes neatly into your phone case, so even discreet in that sense. I shared my sample with my mum who was 100% sold! She thinks they are the best things since sliced bread. ( she is avCoeliac though). Truly great product.

I don't have significant bladder leakage so can't comment on full coverage but they are super comfortable to wear and I'd be confident that they would be able to contain any leaks especially when they might not be expected. Comfortable enough to wear all the time, don't make a noise when you move and aren't bulky so you can wear them under any clothing.

I buy these as I tend to have bladder leakage and slight urinary incontinence when I sneaze or laugh if I'm bloated. Unfortunately leading up to that time of the month causes me to bloat more so its very handy for me to have some of these in my hand bag for peace of mind and confidence. As a young woman I don't want anything to dampen my day but these help me forget about my little issue

What a wonderful product for bladder leakage protection. Though it is super thin but the absorbency is great and much better than many pads. The liners are easy to carry in the bag, hold their place due to good sticking and that amazing fragrance keeps me feeling fresh without being conscious about the accidental leakage. Better than many products in the market.

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

After something a bit more mature? Bentgo’s Modern lunch boxes are a great option. They have a sleek matte finish in a choice of four stylish shades, including Mint Green, Orchid, Dark Grey and Navy. Each is cleverly designed with a removable divider that allows you to choose between using three or four compartments.

Colourful and easy to carry, these bags are insulated, eco-friendly and secure. It features aluminium foil lining that keeps food fresh all day long, and it comes with top-level carry handles and a shoulder strap, which is brilliant for those days when kids have a lot to tote.

With their name on it, you won’t need to visit lost property!

Finally, a kids’ lunch box that stores hot AND cold food in one place! Designed out of necessity by a problem-solving mum, the OmieBox encourages low-waste lunches and ends the need to use multiple clunky containers (which always get lost!). The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
That lunchbox comparison table is handy to have. It helped me make a decision on which lunchbox to buy next for my daughter who is starting kindergarten. I needed to upgrade her lunchbox but wasn’t sure which way to go. The table helped me with my decision. I ended up going with the BBOX and have found a cheaper lunch bag from a department store that it fits in.
I do not know if anyone else has picked up on this or not, but every bag mentioned in the table above is a ‘designer’ brand. There are plenty of more affordable options that aren’t over $40. I have never spent that much on a lunchbox – even from Smiggle. The cheaper brands last just as well too.
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.

Pads with more than you would expect
They are comfortable to wear. No need for the extra ‘wings’, as the pads stay safely in place attached to your underwear. Now you can do those activities such as running, exercising etc. without the worry of the pad getting out of place.
The liquid is locked inside and absorbed by its super absorbent core. The pad comes with a Leak Guard to help the wetness go away from the edges.
The pads come in small, small plus and normal sizes. They are slim, yet very absorbent, and come with a lovely floral scent for odor control.
Always Discreet even went one step further to design attractive individual packaging easy to carry in your handbag.
Based on my own experience, Always Discreet pads exceeded my expectations.
They did what they said they would. I felt confident wearing them. Even after running and other type of exercises, they stayed in place. I felt comfortable and protected from any leaks with their top layer quickly absorbing any fluid away from my body.
I will be looking to buy some more of these pads. I can confidentially recommend Always Discreet pads to anyone with sensitive bladder issues. Thank you Mouths of mums for the opportunity to review these pads and to discover pads that are most suitable for me.

Gardening & exercising wearing Always discreet pads
This review shows me wearing Always discreet pads while doing some gardening and some exercising. Having a weakened bladder I was uncomfortable with the unexpected leakage, but since wearing Always Discreet Pads I feel confident, comfortable and ready to attack any work or exercise. These pads are designed to protect from any accidental leakages and eliminate the worry, discomfort or embarrassment that many of us 'mums' might have. Based on my own experience I can recommend these pads.
Thank you Mouths of mums and Always Discreet for this opportunity.

Daily woodworking chores wearing Always discreet pads
In this review I was testing Always discreet pads while performing my daily chores. Whether I was loading the wood, pushing a heavy wheelbarrow, or carrying the wood which normally is an issue due to my weakened bladder, Always Discreet Pads did what they said they would. They protected me from any accidental leakages and I was able to continue working without a worry, discomfort or embarrassment. I even took my dog for a jog which we both enjoyed. I can confidentially recommend these pads.
Thank you Mouths of mums and Always Discreet for this opportunity.

Always Discreet Regular pad
Its absorbency is not as satisfactory as I'd like it to be, but does perform slightly better than other brands I've tried.
Not effective to catch all leak when used alone, as it keeps folding up on the sides due to its thiness. Have to keep adjusting to fold it down flat again & again. Also not wide enough to cover the full width of undies/underpants so doesn't prevent spillover.
