Do the pads contain waterproof backing, and how does it work?

If you’ve ever had a pad fail at the worst possible moment, you know the heartbreak. Good news: HyPs and Indiewear pads are designed to keep everything exactly where it belongs.


💦 Meet the Leak Blocker

All our cloth pads have the same basic construction: moisture wicking stay dry top + absorbent inner layer + waterproof backing. 

That's right, all our pads include a waterproof backing made from PUL (polyurethane laminate)

  • Eco-Friendly – Made with recycled polyester, tough on leaks but gentle on the planet.

  • Stay-Put Dots – Anti-slip silicone dots keep your pad securely in place, even on long or active days.


🌬 How It Works

PUL is breathable yet waterproof. It lets air circulate to prevent heat and moisture buildup while locking liquid safely in the absorbent core. The result? Dry, comfortable, confident protection all day (or night).


🛌 Sleep, Sit, Move—No Worries

No more midnight sheet surprises or soggy underwear moments. The waterproof backing gives you reliable, leak-free protection—whether it’s for periods, bladder leaks, or everyday discharge.


HyPs and Indiewear pads combine comfort, breathability, and waterproof protection so you can stay dry, confident, and worry-free.
