What's inside your incontinence pants?


No, we don’t mean that. We’re of course talking about the technology that makes up a top quality Vivactive incontinence pant. Things have changed so much over the years, gone are the days of bulky and difficult to manage pants. Advancements in technology have paved the way for the incontinence revolution. Products for bladder weakness and bowel problems are now more comfortable, reliable, and discreet than ever before. Join us as we take a look at what makes a Vivactive Pants Maxi tick. 


First of all, who are Vivactive? We’re the online-only incontinence brand built from the ground up with consumer cost savings in mind. We realised the supermarkets were ripping people off, so we came along to offer top quality incontinence products at a far lower cost. Anyway, back to the topic at hand, technology!

Triple Layer Lock™ for faster absorption

We knew early on that the key to keeping people feeling fresh, dry and confident was getting urine to absorb as quickly as possible. Our pants incorporate an advanced triple layer lock system, which sets us apart from the other brands. So, how does it work?

 

Layer 1: Liquid disperses across the topsheet to rapidly enter the absorbent core

Layer 2: Highly absorbent fluff fibres quickly draw liquid into the core. 

Layer 3: Super absorbent molecules absorb and lock in liquid, turning it into a gel.

Our team has worked hard to bring you incontinence pants that are not only cheaper than what the leading brands offer, but in most cases, better too. Our pants can absorb liquids twice as fast as some of the household name brands, with the triple layer lock system providing protection against leaks that you can rely on. Stop wasting your money on inferior products, switch from the supermarket to Vivactive.

Anti-Leak Cuffs for enhanced protection

One of the big sources of anxiety for those of us wearing incontinence pants is leaks. Nobody wants leaks. We’ve developed industry leading ‘anti-leak cuffs’ to provide a close, secure fit to the contours of your body. The anti-leak cuffs provide maximum protection against leaks whether you’re standing, sitting or lying down. There aren’t many other brands on the market offering this solution and none of them are offering it up as cheaply as we are. 

Active odour control technology

Unwanted odours are definitely fighting for the top spot of ‘things I don’t want to happen’ during my day. They’re embarrassing and uncomfortable. Even if nobody is around, it’s just not what you want when you’re trying to relax. We get it. That’s why our pants feature cutting-edge odour control technology to catch odours before they have a chance to escape. Ultra-absorbent pearls work quickly to transform the liquid into a gel, keeping any bad smells at bay.

Enriched top sheet for improved skin integrity

We’re pretty obsessed when it comes to protecting against leaks and odours, but we also understand how important it is to keep our customers' skin in tip-top condition. Nobody wants chafe, nobody. Our pants come with an enriched botanical topsheet, made from natural, soothing ingredients. Say goodbye to annoying chafe and nasty rashes and say hello to a great incontinence pant.

Easy removal for discreet disposal

Easy disposal of soiled/full pants is a big point of contention for many of us using incontinence products. The last thing you need after an accident is faffing around with this, that and the other to get it to come off. Then more faff once it’s off just to get rid of the thing. Well, that’s where our team of incontinence nerds come in. We’ve developed pants that come apart flawlessly by tearing the material at the sides. Once off, you can then use the sticky tab on the rear to form a compact bundle, ensuring a smooth and discreet disposal process.
