Let me tell you, these underpads have been a lifesaver for my nightly caregiving routine. The 80% cotton top layer feels surprisingly comfortable against skin - way better than those crinkly disposable pads. I've used them for both my elderly parent and during postpartum recovery, and they held up beautifully.
The 21-inch wings are the real MVP here. They tuck securely under the mattress and actually stay put all night - no more waking up to find the pad bunched up in a corner! The saddle design means less adjusting throughout the night compared to rectangular pads I've tried before.
Washing is a breeze (I've done about 15 cycles so far), though I did notice slight edge curling when machine-dried on high heat. Pro tip: air dry most of the way like one reviewer suggested. The waterproof barrier works perfectly - my mattress stays bone dry even after heavy accidents.
A few things to note: They're not whisper-quiet (there's a faint rustle when moving), and while absorbent, they might not be enough for extremely heavy incontinence alone. I sometimes layer them with a smaller disposable pad for extra protection. Also, changing them on an occupied bed takes some practice - the tuck-in design that makes them secure also makes swaps slightly tricky.
For the price? Absolute steal. Having two means there's always a clean one ready to go. They've saved me countless midnight sheet changes and laundry loads. If you're tired of disposable pads shifting around or want something more eco-friendly, these are absolutely worth trying.
