Confitex Incontinence Underwear Catalogue

Confitex was founded to create a range of highly functional, beautifully designed washable incontinence underwear that offers a genuine alternative to disposable products. Using patented three-layer absorbent technology, each pair combines a quick-drying inner layer, a highly absorbent mid layer, and a waterproof yet breathable outer layer — all fully textile-based. The result is discreet, comfortable protection that looks and feels like everyday underwear.

The Confitex Story

Confitex launched in 2013 after three years of research and development by co-founders Mark Davey, a fashion designer, and Frantisek Riha-Scott, a multi-media entrepreneur. The brand gained notable recognition when it appeared at New Zealand Fashion Week in 2015 — the first time incontinence underwear had ever been presented on a catwalk. That landmark moment reflected the brand's core mission: to end the stigma around incontinence and make protective underwear something people feel genuinely good wearing.

Innovative Three-Layer Technology

Every Confitex garment uses a patented layered construction that wicks moisture away from the skin, locks it into an absorbent core, and prevents leaks with a waterproof-yet-breathable outer barrier. The fabric is fully machine washable and built to last for hundreds of washes, making it a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to single-use disposable pads or pants. The technology has been independently tested and endorsed by continence health organisations.

Range for Men and Women

Confitex offers a wide selection of styles — from briefs and boxer briefs to light-control and active-wear designs — across varying absorbency levels to suit light leaks through to moderate incontinence. Designs are thoughtfully created to look indistinguishable from regular underwear, supporting confidence and an active lifestyle throughout the day. The catalogue and guide help customers identify the right style and absorbency level for their individual needs.

Reusable and Eco-Friendly

Switching from disposable incontinence products to washable Confitex underwear significantly reduces both ongoing costs and single-use plastic waste. A single pair can replace hundreds of disposable pads over its lifetime, making Confitex a practical choice for people who want a greener, more economical approach to managing incontinence without sacrificing comfort or discretion.
