HyPs vs. Indiewear: Your Guide to Staying Dry (and Happy!)

Leaks happen. Periods happen. Life happens.
Good news? You don’t have to sacrifice comfort or your underwear to deal with them. Whether it’s Aunt Flo dropping in unannounced, a sneeze that surprises your bladder, or just everyday discharge, Lil Helper’s reusable pads are here to keep you comfy, dry, and maybe even a little smug about how cute and eco-friendly you are.


Meet the Crew

  • HyPs Original Pads – Your go-to squad for periods, discharge, and “did I just laugh too hard?” moments. Comes in 4 sizes/absorbency. Stay dry comfort and waterproof protection in one reusable pad. 

  • HyPs Active – Same awesome absorbency but with anti-slip silicone dots so they stay put through yoga, toddler wrangling, or your signature dance moves.

  • HyPs WoW – Wingless wonders with silicone grip for folks who like their underwear un-pinched and drama-free.

  • HyPs Teen – Smaller, discreet pads for growing bodies because periods don’t wait for a driver’s license.

  • Indiewear Incontinence Pads – Designed specifically for bladder leaks. Choose Unisex for any body or Men’s for a tailored fit, because one-size-fits-all rarely fits anyone well.

  • For bladder leaks: Indiewear pads are leak ninjas—built for the job.

  • For teens or smaller bodies: HyPs Teen = discreet protection + peace of mind during math class.

  • For the active life: HyPs Active stays put so you can do cartwheels or chase a runaway toddler.

  • For underwear rebels: HyPs WoW is wing-free for a sleeker, “I woke up like this” vibe.


Reusable protection doesn’t have to be boring—or crinkly.
Pick your pad, toss it in the wash, and get back to living your best leak-free life. Your laundry (and the planet) will thank you.
