Birth Trauma Australia community product review: Svelte received an average score of 9/10

Birth Trauma Australia organised an official community product review of Svelte, inviting women from its community to trial Svelte pull-up continence underwear and provide structured feedback on comfort, fit, packaging and everyday use. Reviewers gave Svelte scores ranging from 8 to 10 out of 10, with an average score of 9 out of 10.

The themes were consistent:

• Softness
• Breathability
• Discretion
• The relief of a product that doesn't announce itself.

Reviewers described Svelte as light and inconspicuous next to traditional adult continence products. One said that once the first few days after birth had passed, it barely felt like wearing anything. Another described a positive overnight experience during her trial. Several mentioned the packaging arriving like something chosen with care, rather than a clinical supply item.

Reviewers also offered practical feedback on sizing in the early weeks after birth, and noted Svelte is absorbent continence underwear rather than compression or prolapse support.

"It did not feel like wearing a bulky adult nappy."
