Cardinal Health Essentials Reusable Underpad, Ibex Quilted With Pvc Backing, Plaid, 34" X 36" - 1 Each

Underpads are designed to be the last layer of defense against leakage for linens and other furniture.

A good general rule is that if you are using a less absorbent Tabbed Brief or Pull Up, a Disposable Underpad is generally the right choice. Leakage is more common in less absorbent products, so a Disposable Underpad would be less expensive for frequent leakage (and less laundry to do!). If you are using a more absorbent Tabbed Brief or Pull Up (that is less likely to leak), a Cloth Underpad is a good "insurance policy" in the off chance that there is leakage. You can use our IronMed Absorbency Score to determine which Tabbed Brief or Pull Up is more absorbent (and this will help you choose between the Disposable and Washable Underpads).

Almost all Underpads are big enough to provide adequate coverage for a bed or other piece of furniture. In general, we see smaller people select smaller Underpads and larger people opt for larger Underpads.

We always recommend using a more absorbent Tabbed Brief or Pull Up in these situations. That alone will help reduce the amount of leakage you are experiencing. You can also choose a more absorbent Underpad. Use our IronMed Absorbency Score to help choose the most absorbent options in these products.
