Let me tell you, these washable underpads have been a lifesaver in my household. As someone who's used multiple brands, the 4-layer absorption system genuinely works - I've timed it, and liquids disappear in about 8-10 minutes without any leaks.

The size (34" x 36") is perfect for my queen bed and large enough for my 85lb Labrador. What surprised me most was how dry the surface stays - no more middle-of-the-night sheet changes when my elderly dad visits.

After 20+ washes, they still perform like new. The edges don't curl up like cheaper brands I've tried, and the waterproof backing actually works (unlike some that claim to be waterproof but leave my mattress damp).

Pro tip: They make fantastic car seat protectors for road trips with pets. The green color hides stains well, though proper washing (I use cold water) keeps them looking fresh.

Only downside? They take slightly longer to dry than thinner pads - about 90 minutes in my dryer. But considering I've replaced $50/month disposables with this $30 set that's lasted 6 months so far, it's a trade-off I'll gladly take.
