SPOILER: it's not cotton, it's not synthetic — and it's not what most nurses expect.
Most leakproof underwear was never built for a 12-hour shift, let alone three or four in a row. The second a leak hits on a sneeze, a cough, or lifting a patient, it sits on top, spreads sideways, and runs out the leg before the core can catch it. Worse, that wet fabric stays against your skin shift after shift, traps heat under your scrubs, and holds odor right through to clock-out.
Sistera is built different. It is made from RapidCell™ Bamboo Viscose, far more absorbent than cotton or synthetics. The moment a leak lands, it pulls the moisture straight down into the fabric instead of letting it sit on top, so it cannot spread or run out the side onto your scrubs. It is breathable too, so heat moves out instead of getting trapped against you, even on back-to-back shifts.
Here are 7 reasons why so many nurses who have tried everything are finally making the switch to Sistera:
Cotton soaks up the leak and holds it against you. Nylon and synthetics trap it on the surface. Either way you are soaked by hour 6, with no break to change.
Sistera's RapidCell™ Bamboo Viscose pulls moisture in fast and keeps it off your skin. Not less wet. Actually dry, hour 2 or hour 12.
With cotton and synthetics, the wet sits on the surface, right against your skin, through every room, every chart, every handoff. That is the cold, clammy feeling you know too well.
Sistera's RapidCell™ Bamboo Viscose pulls the wet off your skin and into the fabric. The part touching you stays dry, so you stop checking yourself all shift.
Because the bamboo soaks the leak in so fast, Sistera does not need thick, bulky padding to catch it.
It is soft, light, and quiet when you move. No pad outline when you squat for CPR or bend over a bed. No lines under thin scrubs under the bright lights. Nobody knows but you.
Trapped moisture is what feeds the smell. Cotton and synthetics hold the leak and the sweat against you for hours, and on a 12-hour shift with no break to change, that warm, damp environment is where it builds.
Sistera's RapidCell™ Bamboo keeps the surface dry, so odor-causing bacteria have far less chance to build. No sweat smell, no urine smell, nothing to hide.
Sweaty nylon traps heat. Pads shift and bunch the second you start moving. And most underwear fights you all day, with waistbands that dig in and elastic that rolls while you run between rooms.
Sistera's RapidCell™ Bamboo Viscose is soft, breathable, and stretchy. It moves with you, lets heat out, and stays put through a double. No digging, no rolling, no red marks at the end of the shift.
Most leakproof brands use cheap cotton and synthetic blends that rub and chafe when you wear them alone on a brutal shift.
Sistera's RapidCell™ Bamboo Viscose is naturally smooth and OEKO-TEX certified. No itch, no rash by hour 10. Just a fabric you can trust for a full shift.
Cotton and nylon trap body heat and moisture against you. Layered under scrubs all day, that leaves you overheating and sweating down there.
Sistera's RapidCell™ Bamboo lets heat and moisture move out, and runs 2 to 3 degrees cooler against your skin. You stay cool and dry down there from clock-in to clock-out, no matter how hot the unit gets.
To keep quality high, we make these in small batches. When they are gone it usually takes 4-5 weeks before the next run.
