Why Antibacterial underwear?

This is more than underwear. Antibacterial operational underwear is a must for all women in the military and critical services. A recent study has found that almost 40% of policewomen experience thrush or urinary tract infections (UTIs) due to wearing traditional underwear under their uniform.

Our antibacterial underwear allows the body to breathe, preventing moisture from gathering and harbouring bacteria and fungi.

Fewer infections mean fewer sick days, promoting readiness.

FAQs

Why is this a readiness issue, not just a comfort issue?

Fewer infections mean fewer sick days and less time lost to discomfort on duty. Equipping women properly is part of keeping teams operational.

Can forces and organisations order in bulk?

Yes. We work directly with military, police and critical services procurement teams. [Contact us] to discuss bulk orders, sizing rollouts and lead times.

What makes this underwear different from standard underwear?

Standard underwear isn’t designed for long shifts in uniform trousers that don’t let the skin breathe. Ours is made with an antibacterial, breathable fabric that stops moisture from building up. That cuts down the warm, damp conditions where bacteria and fungi thrive.

Is it comfortable for a full shift?

Yes. It’s designed for operational wear, with flat seams and no-dig waistband to stay comfortable from the start of a long shift to the end.

How does the antibacterial fabric work?

The fabric is treated with antibacterial technology, which inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi on the fabric. Combined with a breathable construction, it keeps you drier and fresher for longer.

Why does this matter for women in the military and critical services?

Long hours in close-fitting uniform trousers, often with limited opportunities to change, create the perfect conditions for infection. A recent study found that almost 40% of policewomen experience thrush or urinary tract infections (UTIs) linked to wearing traditional underwear under their uniform.

Will it help reduce thrush and UTIs?

It’s designed to reduce the moisture and bacterial build-up that can contribute to these infections. It isn’t a medical treatment, so if you have symptoms, speak to your GP or medical officer.
