Introducing the Always Discreet New Zealand Mums 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 leaks. 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 four* Kiwis experience incontinence in some way during the course of their lives.

Which brings us to our latest Always Discreet New Zealand Mums 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 leaks, simply because bladder leaks 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

  • You’ll hardly know it’s there!

    The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was the smell…. oh my gosh they smell amazing and fresh. They’re thin and discreet, and absolutely perfect for light bladder leakage (if you’ve given birth you might be able to relate!). I also really liked how the entire liner sticks on to my knickers, therefore doesn’t have any flappy bits that fold or wings. Highly highly recommend. I’ll be switching to Always Discreet.

  • Perfect for bladder leakage

    After four kids my bladder is so weak. This can be very embarrassing and sometimes makes you not even want to leave the house. With discreet I felt confident and was sure I’d be fine and it was. I had a accident and no leaks I was so happy considering how thin they are. I would highly recommend and buy again.

    Comfortable and thin protection wasn’t uncomfortable because of how thin they are. Works great and gives me the protection needed. Great packaging and lightly scented. The best part is that they can not be seen while wearing fitted pants so nobody knows that you are wearing them!

    They fit well, and provide me with the confidence that I can last the day without any worries of leakage!

  • GAME CHANGER FOR ME!! A MUST TRY!

    I began having issues with bladder control 2 years ago when I would cough or sneeze and got to a point where I could prevent some instances if I had a moments notice I could hold it in with squeezing.
    After i accepted that it would be less stressfull to try using a party liner than hoping for the best I tried a few of the popular brands with varying protection levels and lengths. I found that ALL were uncomfortable, they scrunched both in terms of width and length without providing the necessary strength or coverage of the adhesive meaning that even when using them at home there was no guarantee the pad would remain in place and provide enough coverage with 1 popular brand that wasn’t absorbent at all with even the smallest leakage would just run off onto the underwear, which i even tested using water. The frustration was endless, UNTIL….
    I received the Always Discreet package and success! They are a perfect length for sitting or standing in any position, they also ave a stretchy elastic type edging inwards, the adhesive covers the whole underside and is wonderfully strong. Takes a couple of seconds to place it and once properly stuck down to underwear I can be confident the liner will remain there! No more scrunching in at the sides creating an uncomfortable bulge down the centre either from the inner cotton moving under the top layer or the entire pad providing no protection whatsoever which requires constant replacement.
    I have found THE ONE! I am so happy with ALWAYS DISCREET that I have thrown out all packets and remaining pads from other brands and from now on use Always Discreet exclusively. I had to pass on a sample to my mother and she is just as impressed with this product as I am.
    THANKYOU to MOUTHSOFMUMS & ALWAYS DISCREET FOR SHOWING ME THERE IS A FUNCTIONAL, RELIABLE AND COMFORTABLE SOLUTION TO BLADDER LEAKAGE.

    These liners were amazing! So thin and discrete I forgot I was wearing one. They were super absorbent and so comfortable to wear. I will be replacing my existing liners with these.

    Loved trying this product. Didn’t feel bulky or annoying to wear. Found that it held small leaks and felt dry. It was great to have this product to try. I loved not having to worry if I didn’t get to the toilet quite in time. They are easy to open and found they have also helped my confidence.

For lighter wines that still taste like the real deal, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened range is quickly becoming a go-to. These bottles bring all the flavour with noticeably less alcohol, which is why everyone’s falling in love with them.

Best SIPS’ Chapel Hill Enlightened Wines review team put the Rosé and Pinot Grigio through their paces, and the feedback was unanimous: both are fresh, light and perfect for summer sipping without the unwanted morning crogginess.

A rosé with summer written all over it

Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Rosé is bright, crisp and fruity, hitting all the right notes without tipping into the “too sweet” zone. It’s the kind of bottle you reach for at a casual barbecue or any get-together where you want something delicious but easygoing.

It’s exactly this balance of lightness and full flavour in an affordable bottle that has so many fans raving.

“Light, refreshing and honestly just feels like a little moment of peace in a glass. The flavour is this perfect mix of crisp + fruity without being too sweet — literally the kind of rosé you can sip while you finally sit down after a long day.”

Women trying Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé.
A summer staple … on the lighter side

“Too many of these low alcohol wines just don’t taste enough like the real deal-but this is a sure fire exception. Beautifully refreshing, with a touch of sweetness that’s not overwhelming. A gorgeous colour too, which is a bonus- after all, we also drink either our eyes! Add into the mix a reasonable price point- this rose is a winner!”

“I love a nice glass of Rosé and the Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé did not disappoint! It’s really light and refreshing and tastes like a really expensive wine. I love that this wine is really affordable, so I can enjoy a beautiful Rosé without breaking the bank more often. Definitely give this one a try!”

If your warm-weather wine rack needs an affordable new staple, this is it.

A Pinot Grigio you’ll be buying again (and again!)

For the white lovers, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Pinot Grigio is a solid everyday white that ticks all the boxes: crisp, clean, food-friendly and affordable.

Our taste-testers repeatedly praised how balanced and versatile it feels, whether chilled on its own or alongside simple meals and casual gatherings.

“We love a white to pair with our spring/summer lunches and especially our seafood. This option ticked all the boxes …”

A versatile sip you’ll keep reaching for

“I enjoyed the first sip to the last of this Pinot. Anything with pear and citrus is something I want to try and this lived up to that, but with a lighter alcohol content – which I appreciate! Enjoyed over dinner, it paired really nicely with the food I was eating. This wine is something I’d happily recommend to others.”

“The wine offered just the right balance of fruity flavours – fresh and vibrant, but never overpowering or too sharp. It paired beautifully with both our light lunches and dinner, making every meal feel a bit more special. I also appreciated how crisp and refreshing it tasted, perfect for unwinding and enjoying good company. Definitely a Pinot Grigio I’d reach for again.”

Your lower-alcohol go-to

The team rates Enlightened wines 4.34 out of 5 and recommends them for anyone on the hunt for flavour-forward wine with less alcohol. They’re bright, modern and made for the kind of moments where you’d love a glass, but still want to feel good afterwards.

Find Chapel Hill Enlightened at Dan Murphy’s right now for $17.99 each.

  • The warmer weather tends to make alcohol go to my head faster – I’m not a big drinker, but just for that reason I’d seriously consider a low alcohol wine. The Pinot Grigio particularly sound as if I might enjoy it. I might well buy a bottle or two for Christmas.

    Reply

  • Looks delicious, would be keen to try their wines based off the reviews. Love anything local and the light wine is just an extra win – low alcohol content would be fab for nights with friends where we all still have to drive home afterwards so would be buying for that type of event!

    Reply

  • Chapel Hill Wines do have quite a good reputation. I like the fact that it is low alcohol content. Personally, I like a very sweet wine but many would like these as they are not so sweet. I wish them well with sales and think it’s good they are doing something about lowering alcohol level.

    Reply

  • Thanks for sharing this review. It sounds that the taste is good, the price is good and the alcohol content is really low indeed. I do like the fact that they’re light. One of the things I don’t like when you’re drinking a couple of glasses that it fills you up and it affects your appetite

    Reply

  • I appreciate all the reviews and think this is an excellent way to get your brand out there and known.

    Reply

  • I like the sound of the Pinot Grigio and will look out for it next time I’m at the bottle shop.

    Reply

  • I just asked the forum for recommendations on zero alcohol, but this is an attractive option as well! I do enjoy a Rose, so will try this one after all the positive reviews. It’s a shame they don’t have a sparkling in their collection yet! Would have been prefect for all the celebrating at this time of year.

    Reply

  • I dislike rose, but the pinot grigio sounds like it might suit me. To be honest, the alcohol content doesn’t bother me all that much – I rarely drink more than a glass or two anyway – but it would probably be nice from a general health point of view to know I’m consuming less alcohol.

    Reply

  • This sounds like the perfect glass. I do love being able to have a few drinks and not be all over the place about me. And as a bubbly girlie from Adelaide myself, I’m sure I’ll find a lot to like about this drop. Crisp and not too sweet, I’m sold and will have to try it.

    Reply

  • It was the first time for me hearing about the chapel hill brand. And i still recall when i picked up the Pinot Grigio from my local, the staff there actually stopped me and said i picked a winner! She said that it was probably the best Pinot they had available to sell.

    Reply

  • I’ve heard a lot of good things about Chapel Hill wines and the reviews are always good. I like that they have low alcohol range as I like to have a few glasses when I finally get to have one. Not being too sweet is a bonus that suits me well.

    Reply

  • The idea of having a lower alcohol content wine without compromising taste is really exciting. There’s nothing worse than feeling “under the weather” from the effects of alcohol. This lovely wine ticks all the boxes, lower alcohol and a refreshing flavour. I’m keen to get the Pinot Grigio in my cart and into my fridge!

    Reply

  • This wine sounds delightful and really refreshing to enjoy on a summer afternoon. I love that it tastes fresh and crisp and still has the same punch as other wine. It sounds like an absolute delight. I will have to give it a try next time i am at the bottle shop looking for some wine.
