Always Discreet Pads are here to help you feel confident about bladder leakage with no scrunching throughout the day.

As women, we know a thing or two about bladder leakage … and whether it’s happened over time, or you’re just experiencing it now after your first born, bladder leakage (or urinary incontinence) is more common than you might think, with one in three Australian women experiencing urinary incontinence in some way during the course of their lives.

Always Discreet wants you to feel comfortable and secure with your bladder leakage, and what’s great about Always Discreet Pads (unlike others) is that you can move with confidence throughout your day, without having to worry about bunching or scrunching.

From the world’s #1 Feminine Protection Company* Always Discreet provides incredibly thin and reliable protection from bladder leaks. With a super absorbent core, the pads turn liquid to gel, which locks away fluid helping you to feel comfortable and secure for maximum protection.

Here are some other great benefits of the Always Discreet Pads.

  • Great for occasional to frequent leakage
  • They provide incredible comfort and discretion
  • The pads are designed to give you confidence in motion without bunching or scrunching
  • They have a rapid core that turns liquid to gel for maximum protection

    These are a great brand of pad. I felt fresh and dry. The long length meant I was protected better than any other pad on the market, they also had a nice fresh scent. I will definately purchase these pads and liners again and will recommend to all my friends.

  • Confidence with a side of Discreet

    Amazing! I found these pads so comfortable to wear. It felt like I was wearing nothing but my underwear. I always find other pads too thick and non-absorbent. After having 3 kids, it protects my bladder leaks and has given me back my confidence.

  • Protection

    After giving birth my bladder isn’t as strong as what it used to be. These discreet pads give me the protection I need especially when I am exercising or sneezing. I love the packaging, it is quite simple and ultra thin but still absorbs the leakage. The purple and white packaging is different to other brands and it I feel comfortable using them

  • Best protection

    Always Discreet pads are the most comfortable, protective and perfect pads I think I have ever worn! I brought these when they were on special and now that I have tried them, they are ‘always’ in my trolley!! I seriously can not brag about these pads enough, they are not bulky and they protect even with a big leak

  • Bladder Leakage Peace of Mind

    First thoughts when receiving the packet were, “How big are they? Big packet for only 10.” When I opened it, the scent was lovely. The pads were longer and wider than expected. When trying on, definitely gave me confidence that there would be no leakage but a little too bulky for me. Still comfortable but unlike smaller liners, I could definitely feel it in place.

  • Always discreet is as described

    I was very happy with the bladder leakage protection I received from the Always discreet pads. The long length meant better protection Always discreet pads don’t bunch or scrunch and stay in place all day. They fit well and are lightly scented, giving a fresh feel. I would definitely recommend these to others and will be buying them 🙂

  • Good, but not as comfortable as others

    These liners were good, but they bunched up and unlike other liners, I could feel I was wearing them and they were uncomfortable all day. I would more than likely not buy them again as there is better options out there.

  • Perfect for LBL

    So after having 2 babies, my pelvic floor muscles are not in their best shape despite the amount of kegels done lol. These are perfect for me, especially when the kids ask me to jump on the trampoline with them!! Discreet and does the job. Whilst I’d prefer to have my pelvic floor back, this is the next best option until that can be sorted ????

  • FOR ONCE I FEEL LIKE IM NOT WEARING A NAPPY!

    Hallelujah! I have finally found a liner that I can comfortably and confidently wear at the gym without them feeling like I’m wearing a nappy and bunching up while I try and get my post baby body back into shape.
    After 4 babies my pelvic floor is like a smashed egg especially when I do exercise. It is so refreshing to know that there is now a liner around that doesn’t make you feel embarrassed even buying them. Because they are just as their name says… DISCREET!
    Thanks Mouths of Mums for introducing them to me and also taking away the stigma of bladder leakage!

  • A confidence booster

    I’m so glad to be able to trial these because I’m pregnant, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to stop the slight bladder leaks. To begin with, the pads smelled so lovely when opening the package! They are comfortable and provided me with the protection I’m needing. I have a boosted confidence wearing these pads to go about my day to day activities.

  • Comfortable and absorbent

    Always Discreet pads are thin and highly absorbent. They fit well and do not bunch up. I felt confident wearing them. However I wish they were fragrance free as they have a strong scent which does not suit my sensitive skin. The shape is perfect though. I would recommend them for women who do not mind the scent they have.

  • Soft & comfy without the bunch

    Soft and comfy so you don’t realise you’re not wearing real fabric underwear.
    Didn’t have any leakage myself and never had any issues in that regards anyway (not sure why I was sent them) but I figured I’d try them out anyway and see if they were any good.
    For those that DO have leak issues, these seem like a good option.

    Always discreet thin pads did not bunch up, they stayed in place and were reliable for small bladder leaks. They felt comfortable and gave me peace of mind throughout the day! They were also long enough to provide good coverage. I will definitely be buying these in the future. Thanks for the chance to try them first.

Whether you’re a seasoned or first-time mum, protecting your baby’s delicate skin is right up there on the priorities list. Because when their skin is irritation-free, it really does make for a happier bub! Anyone who’s had to deal with nappy rash (me included!) knows it’s an inescapable mum truth.

Having skin irritation as an adult is super distracting and annoying. So just imagine what that’s like for our teeny babies and toddlers, who need to focus on sleep, eat and play. No wonder they can be so upset when they have nappy rash.

One thing you do need to ditch when it comes to nappy rash is mum guilt. It happens despite our best efforts. But it is helpful if you can get ahead of the game by doing as much as you can to try and prevent nappy rash in the first place.

We asked our hundreds of thousands of Mouths of Mums members for their tried-and-true, trusted nappy rash tips, and their responses came down to four key tips. So if you’re about to have your first baby, or your fifth, it’s worth popping on the kettle and reading through what’s helped other mums.

Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips From Mums

What we love about these tips is they’re perfect for mums and expecting mums, and they’re really simple to do. Everything from what to use and what to steer clear of, to helpful hints on caring for delicate baby skin.

1. Nappy Free Time

“As much free nappy time as possible. Lay baby on a blanket covered with a towel on the floor, without a nappy on, if possible in front of a warm sunny window.” – Joanne W.

We love nappy free time for newborn and toddlers (although it’s a lot harder to get them to stay in one place!). And while nappy free time is one of the most popular nappy rash tips among our mums, using the right nappy also plays a huge part in protecting against irritation on your baby’s skin. For example, Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants have clever Rapid-Dry™ Technology, which instantly absorbs for drier skin. And they’re perfect for day and night, with up to 12 hours of leakage protection.

2. Change Nappies Frequently

“For me, what worked on my two kids is not leaving them in soiled nappies too long. I definitely changed as soon as they were wet and let their skin air dry before placing a new nappy on. I would rather go through more nappies than have to deal with the uncomfortable rash they would feel.” – MoM Member

Frequent nappy changes are a fail-safe way to keep moisture, but it’s not always practical (babies just love to fill their nappies while you’re out and about!) Huggies Newborn Nappies are designed to help protect a baby’s delicate skin with a zinc-enriched layer*, clinically proven to help protect against skin irritation.

3. Use A Barrier Cream

“My mum put me onto Zinc and Caster Oil cream. It is FABULOUS stuff! It’s very thick and sticks like you know what to a blanket hehe I tried literally everything and this was the only stuff that helped.” – Trudes

Using a barrier cream was another really popular tip from our mums. But did you know that Huggies Newborn Nappies are the only nappy with a zinc enriched layer. The zinc oxide in Huggies Newborn Nappies is the same ingredient found in many nappy rash creams, which helps to protect against irritation with visibly less redness on skin. They’re also endorsed by the Australian College of Midwives and the number one choice in Australian hospitals.

4. Choose Gentle

“Don’t use scented wipes. Flannel and warm water is the best.” – Justine F

Using the most natural product possible for wiping a baby’s delicate skin to prevent irritation is a tip that’s been passed down from generation to generation – and it’s still a great one. But something lots of mums don’t consider that a nappy itself can help protect against skin irritation. Huggies Newborn Nappies are clinically proven* to help protect against skin irritation while Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants keep up with wriggly little ones while providing superior dryness, making them perfect for active toddlers.


Nappy Rash Myths & Facts

🚫 Myth: Nappy rash is only caused by wet nappies.
✅ Fact: It’s true that moisture does play a role in nappy rash, it can also be caused by moisture friction, bacteria, and even what the nappy is made from.

It’s why choosing a nappy that’s specifically designed for skin protection is really important.

🚫 Myth: Cloth nappies are better at preventing nappy rash than disposable nappies.
✅ Fact: When it comes to nappy rash, there’s not really any need to compare cloth and disposable nappies, because it’s all about keeping baby dry. The longer baby can stay dry, the better.

Huggies’ Rapid-Dry™ Technology absorbs wetness instantly, reducing irritation risk.

🚫 Myth: Nappy rash creams are the only way to protect against irritation.
✅ Fact: A good nappy with a zinc enriched layer can also help to protect against irritation.

  • Any redness can be resolved with a tub of Sudocrem. It’s a cream that smells like lavender. Very pleasant and usually works quickly within the first application.

    Take it with you everywhere. It helps poo nappy changes. Just apply on bottom area to prevent future nappy rash. Your baby will be happy with it on. It doesn’t feel cold like a wet wipe.

  • I had issues with my son pooping a lot as a newborn. Sometimes it can be really hard to keep the rash at bay if you have a child that is constantly doing that. There is some acidity in the excrement and that can cause burning before it’s even been against their skin for long. I used to use paw paw cream on him and that worked best as a barrier.

    Reply

  • Nappy Rash can be so raw and painful and i always worried so much when our babies had a bout of it. I remember trying so many things but always found good old petroleum jelly used regularly would help in keeping it at bay. There are some great suggestions in the article.

    Reply

  • I did find that not all nappy rash creams are as good as each other. After trialing many brands I settled on Sudocrem as the best for me and my baby. Changing nappies frequently and air time is also very important.

    Reply

  • There are so many common sense tip in this article and they are tips that we followed. We kept everything as natural as possible on very soft and sensitive skin. We went with plenty of nappy free times and we were very fortunate to not encounter issues with nappy rash.

    Reply

  • This article describes very much what we always have done: frequent nappy changes, plenty of bare bum time, no fragrances also not in soaps and a good nappy rash cream. It can become more challenging when your child has diarrhea; in which case bare bum time becomes more complex and the skin more irritated in which the gentle washing with warm water, patting dry with a soft cotton flannel and good zinc cream is more important

    Reply

  • Even though I agree that prevention is key, I also think it’s important to have a good barrier cream to hand to help at the first signs of trouble. There are lots of good brands, you can pick any really that suits your baby’s skin. But use it liberally when you need it!

    Reply

  • Yay! First time seeing my own comment in an article! *happy dance*
    But yes, i do swear by changing their nappies as soon as it’s soiled. It’s what worked for us for both children! We always go prepared and change either before going out, during or in the car boot if we really had to

  • Nappy rash is horrible and prevention is definately better than cure. This is a fantastic article with some great tips. Especially the changing of the nappy frequently. Unfortunately sometimes especially once they’re on solids and their poops get yucky a little nappy rash can be unavoidable in which case a small amount of sudocreme clears it up quickly.

    Reply

  • We found that changing nappies frequently was key for us. And once the kids starting sleeping for long periods at night, we started using the really good quality nappies – Huggies, as it happens – while cheaper nappies were still okay for the day and frequent changes. Nappies do vary! .

    Reply

  • This is a really great reminder that nappy rash can happen but there are some great tips to help try and avoid it. I use to do a lot of nappy free time with my daughter when we were home as she had sensitive skin and I layered the barrier cream on all the time, especially at night.
