How is myLACYS™ different from other similar underwear on the market?
Research and design were devoted to developing a product that is both attractive and highly effective. The end result is contemporary styles that you will love with the added benefit of a sewn-in pad that is thin, absorbent and discreet. Only you will know you are wearing underwear with protection. Other products on the market have big bulky pads, but although these products are needed for moderate or heavy incontinence, they are products that women with slight moisture or leakage concerns would never wear.
Who is primarily buying myLACYS™ underwear?
The primary purchasers of myLACYS™ are women over the age of 30. These are women who have, for a variety of reasons, some slight moisture issues. They generally wear a thin, disposable, daily-wear pad. Most, but not all of these women have had children. Primarily, moisture issues can take the form of slight leaks due to stress incontinence, discharge and/or perspiration due to physical activity.
Can I wear myLACYS™ if I have a fairly big problem with incontinence?
myLACYS™ is designed for slight moisture control issues. If you generally wear a thin, disposable daily-wear pad, myLACYS™ is right for you. If you are wearing large pads designed for "moderate" or "heavy" leaking, or you are changing thin disposables throughout the day, myLACYS™ is not a good choice for you.
What if I just perspire a lot, is myLACYS™ a good alternative for me?
Absolutely, many women perspire, which is not only uncomfortable, it can be a source of embarrassment. The wickable fabric and absorbent pad will leave you cool and confident.
Why would I want to buy this underwear rather than wear a daily disposable pad?
There are a number of reasons why wearing myLacys is a better alternative than purchasing daily pads:
- Convenience - you're protected the minute you put your underwear on, there's no added step.
- Comfort - a disposable liner can shift around and stick to your skin – ouch! myLACYS™ pad is built-in so there's no shifting or getting stuck to you.
- Cost-savings - no need to make a separate purchase for pads, saving you both time AND money.
- Environmentally friendly - because the underwear is reusable, you're not adding to our landfills.
- Confidence - now you can go about your daily activities, knowing you're protected against life's "little surprises."
- Discreet - no one knows you're wearing protection but you.
How does the moisture stay trapped in the liner and not leak out on my clothing?
The outer crotch piece (that which touches your outer clothing) is treated with a breakthrough moisture barrier application utilizing nanotechnology. This moisture barrier application is actually adhered to the fibers of the fabric, preventing leaks. In other words, it's part of the fabric. You cannot detect the application in any way and it cannot be laundered out of the fabric. It works like magic!
Why am I sometimes experiencing slight leaks when I sneeze, laugh or cough?

Sometimes it's hard for me to get to the bathroom in time, is that common?
Like stress incontinence described above, it is a very common occurrence in women and is known as "urge incontinence." It is reported on the Woman's Diagnostic Cyber website that 75% of women with stress incontinence will also report they experience urge incontinence.

What does "wickable" mean?
Wickable means the ability to draw moisture away from the body and quickly evaporate it. The entire garment is made from a wickable fabric which will keep you dry, even while exercising, experiencing a "hot flash," or if you live in or visit a hot, humid climate.
