Washable underpads and bed chucks protect surfaces from accidental leaks due to incontinence. They can be cleaned and used again for a sustainable option that helps you save money.

What are Reusable Incontinence Pads?

Reusable incontinence pads are protective covers placed on top of beds, chairs, and other furniture to absorb and contain moisture. They are designed with washable materials for repeated use.

Reusable underpads or bed pads are available in a range of sizes and absorbencies to suit different needs. They are typically made of several layers of materials, including a moisture-wicking layer, an absorbent core, and a waterproof backing to prevent leaks.

Benefits of Using Washable Underpads

Reusable underpads offer several benefits compared to disposable ones, including:

Eco-Friendliness

Washable underpads are a sustainable solution for managing incontinence. They can be washed and reused many times, reducing waste and decreasing their environmental impact.

Cost-Effectiveness

While reusable underpads may have a higher upfront cost than disposable ones, they are more cost-effective in the long run. Disposable pads need to be replaced frequently, which can add up over time. In contrast, reusable pads can last for years, saving money in the long term.

Hygiene

Reusable underpads are made of high-quality materials that are designed to be easy to clean and maintain. They can be washed in a washing machine, and some can even be tumble dried, making them a hygienic and convenient solution for managing incontinence.

Comfort

Reusable underpads are comfortable and discreet. They are made of soft, breathable materials and can be used in public without drawing attention.

How to Choose the Right Underpads

When choosing reusable underpads, there are several factors to consider, including:

Size

Available in many sizes, from small to extra-large, it is important to choose an underpad that fits the surface where it will be used.

Absorbency

Washable underpads and chucks are available in different levels of absorbency, from light to heavy, and your choice should match the severity of your incontinence.
