About Undercovers
Simply better, period.
For you
We create products that look and feel good, but also work so well! The entire outer fabric of our underwear is leak-resistant, stopping leaks from wicking around the outside of the gusset and beyond. They also have a thin, quick-drying gusset so they look and feel like normal underwear without the bulky padding. Our underwear is Australian-made and designed, from high-quality vegan fabrics, and offers sizes 6 to 24.
For them
We believe in honesty and taking care of the people who make your clothes. Our underwear is certified Australian Made and Owned. We believe in ethical and equitable workplaces, ensuring all workers in our supply chain earn fair wages and operate in a safe environment.
For all of us
Sustainability is at the forefront of all we do. We actively work to reduce production waste and eliminate plastic. Undercovers are a reusable, cost-effective, and long-lasting alternative to other single-use sanitary products. Our parcels are sent in compostable packaging, and our head office is powered by green energy. Waste is recycled or repurposed where possible, and we prefer to work with fellow small, local businesses. A portion of profits are donated to charities that work to empower and protect women. There’s more to be done in this space, but we’re working on it!

After years of fabric waterproofing and absorbency research and product development with a consultant from Melbourne RMIT’s School of Fashion and Textiles, the search for the perfect fabric led to Germany. The final product was designed and made here in Australia and Undercovers was launched in 2021.
How it’s going…
In February 2025, Undercovers was sold to Tai Ryan. With a 20-year career in marketing and event management, Tai also focuses on industry sustainability through her first company, The Sustainable Occasion. Helping clients develop and host private and corporate events that are kind to the Earth, she's also self-published a DIY event planning guidebook. Tai's ethos and passion for sustainability and women's empowerment was a match with Undercovers, and so the Undercovers journey excitedly continues...
