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
  • The pads feature odour control technology

    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.

    Definitely a pad that is light and feels like your not wearing one. On a heavy flow there was no leakages even at night so definitely would be using in future.

  • 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.

Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!

But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier). 

You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!

Pack Smart, Not Big

Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?

Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and

  • A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
  • A dry bag for clothes
  • A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
  • A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
  • A pop-up tent for changing
  • Waterproof phone case
  • Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
  • A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!

“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member

Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts

It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:

  • Swimming between the flags at the beach
  • Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
  • Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel. 

Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.

That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!

Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier

  • The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
  • Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
  • SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
  • Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
  • Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.

Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.

Prep & Time It Perfectly

There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.

“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member

Pack Smart Snacks

Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:

  • Chopped fruit
  • Crackers
  • Boiled eggs
  • Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight

“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member

A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!

You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!

New Banana Boat Sport SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml and Banana Boat Kids SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml (RRP $28.00) are available now at leading pharmacies, supermarkets and online retailers nationwide. 


Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.
