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

Image of Always Discreet Pads and Liners Always Discreet Review
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.

  • Pads with more than you would expect

    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.

  • Gardening & exercising wearing Always discreet pads

    Review n.3
    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

    Review n.2
    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.

    Review n. 1
    Long awaited sample of Always Discreet Pads arrived. Can’t wait to test them and give you my opinion.
    As you see from the video, I was exited to receive my sample from Mouths of mum. Even before opening the packaging I have noticed the pleasant scent. I can’t wait to test them out and I will be posting more reviews very shortly. Here is the link to my review n.1

  • Such a relief!

    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.

  • So Discreet and comfortable

    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 and 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.

  • Have my life back

    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.

  • Always Discreet Regular pad

    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.

  • Surprising

    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.

    Very comfortable and very discreet, I am always worried if using products like these that people can tell, but not always discreet, I have the confidence to get on throughout all the day knowing I have protection. Have been converters from other products i have used in the past.

    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

    Always Discreet is very thin that you even forget that you have them on. I love that the whole pad sticks and doesn’t bunch or move throughout the day. I also like that it comes in a sturdy box that closes well and the light fragrance just adds a special touch and feel to the pad.

  • Keep my head high

    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.

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • We often have homemade pizza nights aka fakeaway night! And my pizza is always on a low carb Pizza base with roasted and sundried tomato and capsicum. My fav combo with grilled chicken and a swirl of peri peri mayonnaise! Making our own is always better than takeaway versions and healthier!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.
