Let's talk about the Medline Moderate Absorbency Underpads. I've used these for both my aging cat and during a post-surgery recovery period, so I've got some real-world experience to share.

The good stuff first: These pads are surprisingly affordable compared to similar products. The 23" x 36" size provides decent coverage whether you're using them for pet accidents or patient care. I was pleasantly surprised by how well they handle odor - a major plus when dealing with incontinence issues.

For light to moderate use, they perform adequately. My elderly cat who can't use the litter box anymore has had no major leaks with these pads. They also worked fine during my post-surgical recovery when changing medical pouches.

Now the not-so-great: These are definitely on the thinner side. If you're expecting premium thickness like some hospital-grade pads or heavy-duty puppy pads, you'll be disappointed. While they absorb liquid reasonably well, heavy accidents might require more frequent changes.

The biggest complaint from other users seems to be about absorption capacity. Some find them perfectly adequate (like me for light use), while others dealing with heavier needs (like ICU nurses or puppy owners) report they're too flimsy.

Final verdict? These are budget-friendly workhorses that'll do the job for light incontinence or smaller pet accidents. But if you need serious protection for heavy incontinence or large dogs, you might want to look at thicker options despite the higher price tag.
