Leafline: Women’s Large Washable/Reusable Incontinence Liners

Leafline, a South African social enterprise, is the catalyst for an innovative range of re-usable and washable adult, women, and baby sanitary products.  Based in Bathurst in the Eastern Cape, an important pineapple-growing region for South Africa, the uniqueness of Leafline’s range lies in the fact that the inner linings are all produced from the fibres of pineapple leaves.     This innovation is a South African, and world, first.   All inner linings are made from the pineapple leaf fibres which are free from bacteria and have strong re-use qualities; the fibres also have excellent smell, moisture, and bacterial absorption properties.  Inner linings are wrapped in cotton or waterproof outers, and the end result are discreet and practical products which are more affordable and kinder to the environment than their disposable counterparts.    Linings are easy to wash for re-use.  They require soaking overnight, and then handwashing at 40 degrees.  They are also machine-washable.
