Re: Potty Training/bed wetting.Many kids deal with this bc (we now know this for sure) their bladder doesn’t always grow at the exact same time/rate as the rest of the body.Punishing a child for this is inexcusable. Would you punish your child if you wanted their feet to grow faster?It’s just that simple.So get 2 (it’s a pack of two) and put them down stacked on top of child’s sheets. Accident in the middle of the night, clean up kid, peel top (wet pad) one off, no need to change sheets or have to wash them. That still leaves one in case of a 2nd accident.No taking sheets off, no having to wash sheets EVERY NIGHT. I do suggest getting 2 packs. Then you don’t have to worry about realizing you forgot to wash them rt when you are tucking your kid in for the night.I got the biggest. Grey then blue, too.This is a great product with many uses. It’s much bigger than others I’ve used. We use these often. So versatile. I’ve actually used it myself a few times when I want fresh sheets, but I sometimes need help changing my sheets (arthritis). Until I can have help, I can put it down and it’s big enough for me to sleep on it. That with a fresh pillow case can tide me over some. I’m very happy that they have held up a long time and stains come out not perfectly, but close enough.Animals (to lay across my comforter/blanket so when she wants to sleep on the bed it can be on this).I often need a drink during the night and I sometimes have juice (yes, bad for teeth, etc). I have spilled so many times on the carpet and we are renting. I use this frequently for that. I have it on the ground rt where I usually spill at my bedside.It’s also a surface I can use while doing some art projects. Esp if watercolors are involved bc the water sometimes gets knocked over (???). It’s certainly better than laying down old newspapers, and we don’t even get a paper newspaper these days.Not sweaty at all. And I’m sensitive to that and would have noticed if it wasn’t breathable.I can’t stand those waterproof bed covers. Sweaty, crinkles, etc.I’m also pleased that I’ve noticed it has no effect on how soft/cushy my mattress still feels, I can’t tell a difference.Also VERY nice touch with the back layer having tiny gripping dots so it stays in place all night. It does.I took a picture with a tube of toothpaste in the center to show size. Now adding pic of blue, too.Edit— also great with stains. I treat stains by hand a little by spraying with shout stain spray (give it a couple of minutes & a little scrubbing), add a little dawn dish soap, and scrub a little bit. Rinse in sink. Get it as clean as you can, add shout Set-in stain in blue bottle. Then wash in machine on cold. That works for us.Very little permanent stains, and I expect the pattern helps a little to distract if some stain doesn’t fully come out. I have followed the instructions to not dry it with high heat. No fabric softener, etc, just detergent. I’ve now had one stain I can’t get out, yellow curry. Now I know how but I had already dried it that time. So one of them is stained some in the corner. Pattern seems to break up visually the round shape of a spill, so it’s yellow but looks like patches, not an accident.I have sent packs to a few different relatives. I say even if you don’t think you need it, just put it in the back of a closet. It will be out of the way and if you need it, it’s there. Of course if they don’t want it sent, I don’t do that. One has thanked me bc she unexpectedly had to have a medical test that made her have less control of her urine output only temporarily, but it was a help.Last week I spilled twice and my dog is old and drooly. So I got up to change the pads and was so tired and really so happy to just get back in the bed. This is exactly why I have gotten more.I’m sure many can relate because once you have to do a lot it’s hard to fall back asleep. I don’t even need to soak it or spray rt then.
