At Independently You, our story is personal. It began not as a business plan, but as a simple, heartfelt solution from one mother trying to make life a little easier for her family. What started as a practical fix for a common challenge has grown into a trusted source of dignity, comfort, and independence for thousands of Australians navigating life with incontinence. |

A Problem That Sparked a Purpose In 2005, our founder Diane was dealing with a familiar parenting hurdle—nighttime accidents. Frustrated by the lack of quality products that were both functional and comfortable, she took matters into her own hands. The result? The first-ever Brolly Sheet: a waterproof bed pad with a soft, cotton top that was easy to change and kind to skin. It wasn’t long before friends and fellow parents began asking for the same product. Diane realised she wasn’t alone—there was a genuine need for solutions that were simple, dignified, and designed for real life. Growing With a Mission What started with Brolly Sheets has now evolved into Independently You—a brand built around one mission: to empower people of all ages to live more independently, comfortably, and confidently. From waterproof bed pads to mattress protectors, adaptive clothing protectors, and reusable incontinence wear, our products are designed with you in mind. Every item we create is guided by the same core values: comfort, dignity, and ease. |
