The degradation of our planet impacts us all – and we all have a role to play in combating it. For consumers it is making considered choices. For the team at Confitex, it’s about giving you sustainable options to choose from. We believe that swapping out single-use pads, diapers and tampons for plastic-free reusable underwear and nursing pads is a small step we can all take to reduce our impact on the environment. With light bladder leakage affecting more than 520 million people around the world, and becoming more common as populations age, plastic lined single-use pads, liners, guards and shields are a vast contributor to landfill, where they can take as long as 500 years to biodegrade. Confitex offers a plastic-free and environmentally friendly alternative. Swap to our washable, reusable underwear or breast pads, and you personally will prevent hundreds of disposables reaching landfill. And, unlike most other brands, our unique leakproof textile doesn’t contain a layer of PU plastics, so when our underwear finally do wear out, just like ordinary cloth undies do, they decompose naturally, making them a more eco-friendly option all around.

Unlike many other companies, Confitex has never outsourced production via third-party agents. Due to the complexity of producing our patented absorbent and waterproof textile, we manage our factory and production first-hand so we can more closely oversee quality assurance and ensure fuller transparency. Our factory and its suppliers are independently audited each year to ensure they meet international Business Social Compliance Initiative best practice across areas including ethical behaviour, waste minimisation, workplace health and safety, decent working hours and fair renumeration. To protect against child labour, no employees are aged under 18. Our stringent ethical standards, exhaustive research, development and testing, and high standards of production are reflected in the price we ask for our products. We want the best for you, our communities and our environment, and believe that ‘cheaper’ alternatives come with hidden costs in terms of quality, humanity and sustainability.
