Ontex has expanded its multi-liquid protection range with adult pants for women, following the earlier launch of its multi-liquid liner. The company plans to launch multi-liquid pads next.
Why it matters
Ontex's research found that women's protection needs can overlap during postpartum, perimenopause and menopause, a gap its multi-liquid products are designed to address. The company says it aims to make multi-liquid protection available to more women at an accessible price point.
Ontex's Dynata survey covered about 2,500 respondents in the UK and Germany, while the Vypr study covered 490 women aged 45 and over with perimenopause or menopause. In the Vypr study, 44% named affordability as an important feature, and 41% had changed their buying behaviour because of cost.
The players
Ontex
Ontex is a European manufacturer of absorbent hygiene products, headquartered in Aalst, Belgium, with about 5,000 employees.
The details
The pants combine an underwear-like fit with a thin, flexible absorbent core and use Ontex's patented X-Core channel technology. Ontex works with retailers on their own-brand ranges to make multi-liquid protection available to shoppers.
Timeline
Ontex launched its multi-liquid liner earlier in 2026.
Ontex announced the expanded pants range on November 3, 2026.
Culture Shift
The launch extends Ontex's patented X-Core channel technology into multi-liquid products built for women's overlapping needs across postpartum, perimenopause and menopause. Its focus on accessible pricing reflects the cost sensitivity the Vypr study recorded, where 41% of women had changed buying behaviour because of cost.
Women dealing with overlapping bladder and discharge needs may find a single product that covers more than one need. Because cost shaped buying decisions for many women in the research, the reader should weigh price alongside fit and protection when choosing.
The takeaway
Women whose protection needs overlap during life stages such as postpartum or menopause may benefit from products designed for more than one type of moisture. Comparing features and price can help them choose a fit that works for their routine.
What happens next
Ontex plans to launch multi-liquid pads following the pants, though no date for that launch is given.
