Swaens Bamboo Underwear, simply known as Swaens, is a Dutch brand specializing in washable bamboo underwear with an integrated gusset. Our underwear is designed for people who need extra reassurance and comfort in everyday life, without compromising on appearance or wearing comfort. Swaens underwear looks and feels like regular underwear, while offering just that little bit of extra protection.
The beginning
Swaens was founded in 2013 as an online shop for silky-soft bamboo underwear, specifically developed for situations where extra protection is desired, such as unwanted urine loss, menstruation, and sensitive skin. As a former nurse, the owner of Swaens brings her healthcare experience into everything we do. Over the years, we have grown into a committed family business, where personal attention and trust are central. Since 2025, we have expanded internationally with our own German webshop.
A comfortable alternative
Many women wear panty liners or sanitary pads every day out of insecurity or as a precaution. With Swaens – featuring an integrated, multi-layer gusset – we have developed a charming and comfortable alternative that looks and feels like normal underwear.
Soon after, products for men followed, such as bamboo men’s boxers and briefs. Men may also experience urine loss, for example after prostate surgery, and Swaens offers them a discreet and comfortable solution as well.
Since 2021, we have expanded our range to include Swaens for girls and boys, as well as larger sizes up to 3XL and 4XL. This allows Swaens to provide support during different stages of life.
Who Swaens is for
Our underwear is worn daily by a wide range of people. Swaens products are suitable for, among others:
- women with light to moderate urinary incontinence
- women during menstruation
- people with sensitive skin or conditions such as lichen sclerosus
- men with urine loss, for example after prostate surgery
- young people (girls and boys)
- people who consciously choose reusable and sustainable underwear
The unique Swaens gusset
All Swaens models are equipped with an integrated gusset consisting of three or four functional layers. Each layer has its own purpose: rapid moisture absorption, moisture retention, a dry feeling against the skin, and helping to prevent leaks.
Depending on the model, the gusset extends further to the front and/or back, providing extra reassurance in different situations, such as during movement, prolonged sitting, or at night.
Why bamboo?
We consciously choose bamboo as our base material. Bamboo feels exceptionally soft, is breathable, and absorbs moisture quickly. In addition, the material is naturally odour- and bacteria-resistant, contributing to a fresh feeling throughout the day.
Bamboo is also suitable for people with sensitive skin and is experienced as comfortable during warm weather, sports, and yoga. It is a fast-growing plant that regenerates after harvesting, making it a conscious choice in terms of sustainability.
Experience and trust
Over the years, we have built a large and loyal customer base. Every day, new customers choose Swaens bamboo underwear because of its comfortable feel, discreet protection, and the confidence it provides in everyday life. Thanks to the combination of soft bamboo materials, reusability, and a reliable fit, Swaens has become a trusted brand for women seeking comfort and reassurance day after day.
