Product Description:

The Active is smarter everyday underwear for men who want to forget about those annoying last drops and surprise dribbles. 

Made from ultra‑soft modal that feels premium against your skin, it looks like your favourite pants while quietly handling post‑pee drips and light dribbles so you stay dry, comfortable and confident all day. 

Just regular underwear, upgraded with built‑in protection where you need it most.

Top Tip: Wash before first wear to activate full absorbency.

Benefits:
  • Looks like regular men’s underwear, but with discreet built‑in protection for post‑pee drips and light dribbles.
  • Ultra‑soft modal fabric for a smooth, breathable, all‑day comfort feel.
  • Keeps you dry and confident at work, in the gym, travelling or on nights out - no more worrying about wet spots on your trousers.
  • No pads or liners to stick on or throw away - everything is integrated, washable and reusable.
  • Designed for light leaks (drips and dribbles), not heavy incontinence, so it feels just like normal underwear.
Size & Fit:

They are boxer briefs and sit mid rise on the waist with a supportive yet relaxed hold through the shaped front and leg. The absorbent panel is slim, flexible and sewn in a way that keeps the inside smooth with no bunching.

Frank's run snug, especially in the larger sizes. If you are near the top of a size, or you prefer a relaxed fit, go one size up. The fabric moves with your body and adapts to your shape, so once you are in the right size you will have natural comfort and a secure fit from the very first wear.

See our size guide table below.

Material & Care:

Wash before your first wear for best results.

Body: 92% Modal/ 8% Elastane

Breathable TPU

Middle: 95% cotton/ 5% elastane

Lining: 95% cotton/ 5% elastane

For long lasting performance, wash at 30–40°C with similar colours. Avoid fabric softener as it can reduce absorbency over time. Line dry where possible and avoid the tumble dryer to maintain the fabric quality, stretch and performance of the panel.

Shipping & Returns:

All orders are sent from the UK. You will receive tracking details as soon as your order is on its way.

For hygiene reasons, used pants cannot be returned. If your order arrives damaged or you believe there is a fault, contact us within 30 days and we will make it right. Unworn items in their original condition can be returned or exchanged according to our standard policy.

A SNEAK PEEK AT OUR PANTS

Frank’s Pants blends advanced fabric engineering with everyday comfort to create underwear that works harder for you. The breathable outer keeps air flowing so everything stays cool. Inside, a soft fast drying layer sits next to the skin to maintain comfort through movement, training and long days.

A highly absorbent microfibre core manages moisture quickly and efficiently, while the leak proof system locks liquid away and helps neutralise odour. Each layer works together to deliver complete confidence without bulk.

Made for men who experience small day to day leaks such as dribbles after the loo, the dot after a workout or those unpredictable moments that interrupt your flow. Whether you are active, on the go or simply want underwear that quietly has your back, Frank’s Pants gives support without stigma and comfort without compromise.

At first glance there is nothing obviously different from other similar products claiming to do the same thing .
There must be something as they do perform noticeably better.
Feel more snug and lighter .

Did I buy the wrong pants? I was wet at the side of the protected area within 2 hours. A level 1 tena pad can last all day. I would not have the confidence to wear them outside of the house. I was really disappointed.

Hi there,

I'm really sorry this happened, and thank you for being so honest about it.

To answer your question: yes, it sounds like you ended up with the wrong pair. The Active is our lightest style, made for the last drop or the odd dribble after the loo. It isn't designed to do the job of a pad rather a few drops or dribbles.

As an apology for the confusion, I've issued a full refund for your order under our 60 day risk free guarantee.

Thanks again for taking the time to write this.

Very comfortable to wear especially driving for 12hrs everyday - unlike other brands where the waistband cut you in half after only a few hours - great boost for my confidence too.

Now tried both the Active and the Ultra. Both very comfortable but I shall buy some more Active. These are an excellent replacement for ordinary boxers when just a bit extra is needed and I felt they were really discreet.

I bought the Active in XL. Sizing is absolutely spot on. Material is soft and comfortable. The absorbency for what I need is just right and under any trousers or shorts, it is not in any way noticeable to others that this special pair of boxers is being worn. I also don't notice at all. Any worries I had wearing normal underwear have completely gone. Amazing.

The pants are helping just great! The only thing I find is that the elastic is so tight, not sure if this eases after few washes but the L fits fine so I don’t need to go higher in sizes
