Inspire Washable Reusable Incontinence Underpad, Oversized 36x72 Inches, White, 1 Count

I'm a new ostomy patient and I've been sleeping on throw away chux in case I spring a leak during the night. Glad I have been because I've woken up twice this last week with just that problem. But throw away chuxs are not the most comfortable. They bunch up easily. Are noisy. They stick to you if you sweat. They get expensive to buy if you go through a lot. They aren't environmentally friendly. And more things I just can't remember at this moment. I've worked in a nursing home for 12 years and now days most of them use only the throw away ones. But they still have some cloth ones for special needs etc. So having experienced both I decided to get myself a few for possible nightly accidents. I sleep with a memory foam body pillow and hug it. So I needed a larger chux to put between my stomach and the pillow. This one is perfect!! I lay it across the bed instead of long ways and it's perfect to lay on one end and wrap the pillow with the other. I also have a pregnancy pillow that I sometimes switch out with my body pillow in case I'm tossing and turning a lot. This chux is long enough I can lay in the middle of it and wrap it on both sides of the pillow! I'd highly suggest this chux. I have not had an accident on it yet. But if/when I do I'll update this review.Update: well it definitely works with urine! My cat got trapped in the bedroom with me one night when I was particularly tired and hard to wake up. She needed the litter box and I didn't wake up until she was trying to bury her pee on my blanket and me! It went through my blankets, nightgown, and onto the chux. It kept my bed and body pillow urine free thank goodness!!! And it washed right out of the chux!

Have tried different sizes and different brands of bed pads. I think these Inspire Underpads are the best and they are not breaking our strained budget. Have washed and dried these numerous times over at least the past 3 months and they are holding up well. I now have at least 3 of each size and use these nightly.My 6' tall husband often sleeps on his side and there seems to be NO brief, pull-up, etc. that will catch his urge incontinence when he is on his side. Have tried different brands/types of underpads to help but prefer this brand. Because he also turns and tosses throughout the night, our solution is this: He wears the brief that works the best for him, plus I put down this 36x72 bed pad on the mattress, then I lay a 54" long pad crosswise in the middle to protect the sides of the mattress, finally I place a normal size bed pad on top of this. These pads are then covered with a fitted sheet to keep all this in place as much as possible. When he does have an accident I usually only need to remove the sheet & smallest bed pad. Other times, however, all 3 manage to receive his urine. This system, however, protects the mattress the best (which, BTY, is also covered with a protecting mattress cover). Before I located & used this 36x72 size pad, we actually used more than one protecting mattress cover. When things seemed to really get out of control I ordered more of these so I could always replace the entire set of pads whenever the first three were used with a single incident. This system causes me the least amount of work and since starting this system, his urine has never reached beyond/below this 36x72 pad. I highly recommend these!

If you are managing adult incontinence, this is an important component for care. Combined with other effective incontinence products (waterproof briefs, absorbent pads made from bird's-eye flat gauze or pre-folds, supplementary oval cotton-covered soaker pads, and an enzyme-based urine digester spray - note, NOT a perfumed disinfectant or "germ killer" spray), it will make up a management system that over the long term will save you much time, money, and, let's face it, frustration.I've obtained best results from laying this waterproof pad sideways across the bed, instead of lengthwise. On a full-sized bed, it will drape over the edges of the mattress, but there will not be enough to tuck under. I remedied this by putting grommets along the short ends, and using small bungee cords to hold the pad in place by hooking them around the bed frame. On an adjustable hospital bed, lay the pad sideways across the middle of the bed with just enough end length to reach to the bottom of the bed frame at the side the person gets out of bed, and the excess on the opposite side, where it gets tucked in firmly. Using an enzyme-based urine digester spray on any damp spots will break down the urine without there being a lingering "porta-john" odor; if the sprayed area is allowed to dry while the person is up and the bed is airing, it will help save on the work of laundering complete sets of bed linens every day.

Many waterproof pads are too small or have to be washed on gentle cycles.Not this one.It covers almost the entire mattress of a twin size bed and While you don't often need to you can wash it in hot water.These are the first waterproof pads that have had any sort of longevity for us.

I got this because we got a new puppy and our daughter wants it to sleep with her. Well, potty training puppy and bed dont mix too well. The pup had peed at the foot of the bed and it went to the mattress pad. I was sick of cleaning sheets every day and got this. Hopefully it works. I will update after a while.Update: This works. I am keeping the 4 stars because it does move and bunches up.

You need to keep the bed and patient linens clean. But when an incontinent patient soils the bed a full linen change is required. This pad means you just change the patient and this pad, you do't have to remake the whole bed. Get at least two of these for every patient.

When my Dad was in hospice, we put this under him, to protect the sheets and to move him around the bed(mainly pulling him up). The plastic baking made it slide really easily . We bought 2 to interchange them if one got soiled. Easy to wash.
