FRANK'S PANTS VS PADS
Pads do a job. Nobody is pretending otherwise. But if you have ever sat in a meeting hoping the rustle was not as loud as it felt, or binned a half used box at the back of the cupboard, you already know the job comes at a cost. There is another way of handling drips, dribbles and small bladder leaks: underwear that quietly does the work itself.

The maths, quickly
A box of pads is cheap on the day and expensive by the year, because the box never stops needing replacing. A few pairs of Frank's on rotation cost more once, then go through the washing machine like everything else you own. Most men land on three to five pairs and stop thinking about it, which was rather the point.
What Frank's Pants actually are
Boxer briefs in ultra soft breathable modal with the absorbent layer built into the garment itself. The lining pulls moisture away from the skin and helps neutralise odour until you can change as normal. No liners to position, nothing stuck to anything, nothing to carry, nothing to bin. The Everyday holds up to 50 ml and covers small leaks through the day, The Active handles the odd drop and post pee dribbles, and The Ultra takes three washable clip in pads for flexibility throughout the day.
Making the switch without the leap
Switching away from something that works, even something you dislike, takes a bit of nerve. Frank's makes it a small step. Wear your first pair, wash it, live in it. It goes in the machine like everything else you own, and there is nothing to reorder next month. If it is not right for you, we will put it right.
