What are Underpads?
Underpads help protect bedding and other surfaces from leakage due to incontinence or other bodily fluids. They come in various sizes and low, moderate, and high absorbencies. Mattress pads are made with a special absorbent layer and a waterproof backing to prevent any fluids from leaking through.
Underpads and mattress pads can be used for a variety of purposes, including protecting furniture from spills and stains, as well as providing an extra layer of protection for individuals with limited mobility or who are bedridden. They are also commonly used in medical facilities and hospitals to protect surfaces from bodily fluids and to maintain a sterile environment.

Uses
How should Underpads be used for maximum efficacy?
To maximize the efficacy of underpads:
- Select the appropriate size and absorbency for your needs—EconoDry for light, XtraDry for moderate, and UltraDry for high moisture levels.
- Position the underpad to cover the entire area at risk of exposure to fluids.
- Secure it in place, if possible, using any adhesive strips to prevent shifting.
- Change the underpad regularly, especially once it is near capacity, to maintain hygiene and comfort. This approach produces a clean, dry environment, whether for patient care, infant use, or incontinence management.
What is the proper way to dispose of Underpads?
After use, fold the underpad inward, capturing any fluids inside, and securely wrap it for disposal. Dispose of it in a trash bin, preferably one with a lid to contain odors and maintain hygiene.
If the underpad is contaminated with potentially infectious materials, follow your healthcare facility's guidelines for biohazardous waste. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly after disposal to prevent the spread of germs.
Can Underpads be used for applications other than incontinence?
Absolutely. Underpads are versatile and can be used in a variety of scenarios beyond incontinence care.
They offer protection for bedding during medical procedures, serve as a sanitary choice for infant diaper changes, and can be placed under pets during house training.
They're also useful during arts and crafts projects to catch spills and messes, showcasing their adaptability to numerous everyday situations.
How can Underpads be used in travel comfort for those with incontinence?
Underpads are an excellent travel companion for individuals managing incontinence, providing a discreet, protective barrier on seats or bedding.

Their ease of use and disposability also streamline cleaning processes, contributing to a safer, more hygienic setting for both patients and staff.
How can one choose the right Underpad type for specific needs?
Choosing the right underpad involves considering the level of absorbency needed—low, moderate, or high—based on the individual's condition or the intended use case. Size is another important factor, checking the underpad covers the affected area.
Features like adhesive strips for secure placement and waterproof backing for leak protection should also be considered to meet specific requirements and increase user comfort.
Are there environmentally friendly disposal methods for Underpads?
While underpads are generally disposable and designed for single use, environmentally conscious disposal involves placing used pads in trash bins designated for non-recyclable waste, adhering to local regulations on waste management.
In healthcare facilities, following protocols for medical waste disposal is paramount. Users should also explore brands that offer biodegradable or eco-friendly options to minimize environmental impact.

What innovations in Underpad design have improved user experience?
