A behind-the-scenes look at our founder Lisa’s trip to the Wicks factory in Sri Lanka: where high-waisted styles were refined, size inclusivity expanded, and the Wicks commitment to ethical manufacturing strengthened.
Research shows that light bladder leakage (LBL) is commonly linked to factors like pregnancy and childbirth, which can strain or weaken the pelvic floor muscles; perimenopause and menopause, when declining oestrogen causes the tissues in the urinary tract to thin and lose elasticity; and lifestyle triggers such as high-impact exercise or chronic constipation. Stress incontinence—leaks during coughing, sneezing, or movement—is typical during hormonal shifts, and Australian Physiotherapy Association data notes that around 1 in 3 women experience leaks during exercise. These physical and hormonal factors often intersect, making LBL a multi-causal, but highly manageable, experience.
Women supporting women isn’t just a feel-good idea—it’s the foundation of everything we do at Wicks. We’ve rounded up our favourite pampering picks from fellow small, female-led brands that bring the same care and intention we value in our own absorbent lingerie. Because self-care hits different when it’s backed by purpose.
In the tender aftermath of childbirth, Wicks was born to replace the harsh with the heavenly. Our absorbent lingerie is postpartum comfort, reimagined—elegant, elastic-free, and made to meet you where you are.
