I was happy with the protection that I received from this product. I have to wear them daily and it was comfortable and I couldn't notice or feel it. It did its job and I will happily buy this product in the future. I had no reactions, allergies or negatives with the product and was really happy with it.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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 :-)

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.

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 ????

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!

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.

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 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.

‘Trust Your Intuition’: How To Advocate For Your Child In Hospital
Mother’s instinct is a funny thing. At home, we trust it without question. But put us in a hospital setting with an unwell child, surrounded by doctors, nurses and monitors, and suddenly we start doubting ourselves.
What if I’m overreacting? What if I’ve got it wrong?
So we stay quiet, even when we know something just isn’t right with our child. I’ve been there myself – when my usually ‘tough’ son was doubled over with stomach pain. I was told in the emergency department that it probably wasn’t his appendix. But I knew he wouldn’t have begged me to take him to hospital unless it was serious. Because I know him better than anyone. Turns out, it was appendicitis.
It’s a really common place for parents to land. You’re grateful for the care your child is getting, but at the same time, you feel this huge responsibility to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.
Here’s the thing though: that instinct you’re feeling? It matters more than you might think.
Why your gut feeling matters more than you realise
According to Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital, Leticia Jackson, parents bring something to the hospital that no test or machine ever could.
“Parents often say they ‘just know’ when something isn’t quite right with their child, and in a hospital, that gut feeling is incredibly valuable,” she explains.
Leticia Jackson, Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital
While medical teams rely on observations, tests and equipment, parents know the little details. The way your child usually smiles. How they react when they’re tired. What’s normal for them.
So when something feels “off”, even if everything looks okay on paper, it can actually be an early warning sign.
“When parents trust those instincts and speak up, this creates a powerful partnership that can sometimes catch a problem before it becomes an emergency,” Leticia says.
Worried about speaking up? You’re not alone
A lot of parents hesitate about advocating for their child.
You don’t want to come across as difficult. You don’t want to question the people caring for your child. And sometimes, you just don’t feel confident enough to push the issue.
Leticia gets it.
“It is completely understandable for parents to feel hesitant,” she says. “No one wants to be seen as difficult or to second-guess the hardworking people caring for their child.”
But here’s a helpful way to look at it: you’re not challenging the medical team, you’re helping them.
Parents are the constant. Staff change shifts, care for multiple patients, and rely on snapshots of information. You’re there the whole time, noticing the subtle changes.
“Our medical team doesn’t view a concerned parent as overreactive, but as a partner,” Leticia explains. “Your voice matters.”
Remember, we know our children better than anyone.
What to do if you’re worried: the Raise It process
If you’re in a NSW public hospital or health service and you’re worried about you or your child’s condition getting worse, there is a clear process you can follow called Raise It.
Raise It is designed to help patients, carers and family members get help fast if they’re worried about a change in their loved one’s condition.
Here’s how it works:
Talk: Start by speaking to a nurse, midwife, doctor or health worker about your concerns.
Ask: Still worried? Ask to speak to the nurse or midwife in charge and request a Clinical Review.
Call: If you’re still concerned, you can escalate further using the Raise It process to get urgent attention from a senior health worker.
You don’t need medical knowledge. You don’t need to be certain. If you feel something isn’t right, or your child is getting worse, Raise It. You just need to speak up.
What should you actually look out for?
Sometimes it’s not one big, obvious sign. It can be small, subtle changes that just don’t sit right.
Things like:
Changes in breathing (fast, laboured or noisy)
Skin looking pale, mottled, or developing unusual rashes
Your child being unusually drowsy, floppy, or hard to wake
Confusion or behaviour that’s out of character
Pain that isn’t improving with treatment
Or simply that feeling that your child is getting worse
And sometimes, it’s just that gut feeling you can’t explain.
That’s enough.
“You are helping us, not bothering us”
If there’s one message Leticia wants parents to take away, it’s that you aren’t bothering the medical team, you’re helping them.
“In my years as a Nurse Unit Manager, I can say with absolute certainty that many critical changes in a child’s condition have been identified first by a parent. While our clinical staff are highly skilled at performing regular observations and interpreting data, parents are the only constant presence who truly know their child’s baseline behaviour, personality, and what is normal for them.
“I have seen numerous instances where a parent’s insistence that their child is “just not themselves” – despite vital signs appearing relatively stable – has prompted a deeper clinical review that uncovered everything from early signs of sepsis to a life-threatening respiratory crisis.”
The Raise It process exists because healthcare teams know how important parents are in keeping children safe.
“Speaking up doesn’t mean you don’t trust the team,” she says. “It means you’re partnering with us to make sure nothing gets missed.”
And if you’re still worried about being judged?
“Whether your concern turns out to be something or nothing, your instinct to raise it is always valid.”
I have learned many times to always listen to your gut and speak up when you don’t think something is right. This article was a great read, our kids are our world and if we don’t feel they are getting the right help, and we feel it, we need to speak up.
You should never second guess yourself when it comes to yours or your childs health- or anyones for that matter. Go with your thoughts. It is natural to want to protect a loved one especially when it comes to health situations, and the feeling you get when you think you didnt do enough to advocate or fight for them…it is not a kind or nice way to feel. Many people have ended up being heartbroken and picking up pieces for years because of feeling they didnt do enough.
A very good and informative article. I have read so many stories about mums just knowing when things are not right and demanding second and third opinions until they got the right answer. Sometimes mums just know. It is our job as care takers of our families. Listen to your gut!
Years ago, I spoke up for my 14-year-old daughter, but my concerns weren’t fully listened to. I’ve always wished I had pushed harder. She was sent home without much testing, and two days later, she passed away.
So, if you ever have concerns—no matter how minor—please speak up and keep advocating. Trust your instincts; they are there for a reason.
This is so important for parents to know how to raise it further if they don’t think their child is receiving the medical support they need! I know this article refers to the NSW system but other systems have similar procedures just with different names. I know in QLD it’s called Ryan’s Rule.
It’s so important to follow your gut instincts and express your concerns indeed. I have never hesitated to advocate for my children in various situations and I don’t care what other people think about it. Not all doctors and medical staff appreciate it when you question them, I’ve experienced that it may result in angry indignant responses.
How true this is! While nurses and doctors are the medical professionals doing their job on the daily, we know our children better than anyone and what is ‘normal’ for them. I would always speak up if I had noticed any changes in my child’s health and encourage other parents to do so too. No question is silly!
This really is such an important issue and a good topic to discuss with people, I am often surprised that people are worried about being judged. This is not something I care about; the priority is for the care and health of everyone is my family. Parents know their children and need to work with health professionals for the best outcomes for their children.
This is such an important issue to raise, and no one should ever feel ashamed, nervous or that they are being OTT for advocating for their kids, themselves or loves ones in hospital. In QLD we have Ryan’s Rule. A three step process where your concern will be escalated if they believe the patients condition isn’t improving or is worsening.
I have never been afraid to advocate for my children and partner and extended family and also friends. It is so important to listen and to trust intuition. When people have not listened, I have persevered and kept on with insisting on care and making sure they truly listened and took action.
