Can You Use Period Underwear for Bladder Leaks?
Honest answer
Quick answer
Only if the pair is made and tested for bladder leaks. Period underwear is made for period blood, and pee can come out faster and in larger amounts. Kischt is made for periods only, not for bladder leaks. For leaks, choose underwear made for them, and talk to a doctor. Leaks can often be treated.

Period blood vs pee
Period blood comes out slowly, over a few days. A whole period is only about 1 to 5 tablespoons of blood.
Pee is different. A bladder leak can happen when you cough or sneeze. It can also be a sudden leak when you can't reach the toilet in time.
So underwear made only for periods may not keep up with pee.
