I get night sweats often and the moisture goes though my bedding down to my waterproof mattress pad (lucky me, lol). I use this on top of my sheets for protection. I’m not fond of the texture, so I have a beach towel on top of the pad. So far this bed pad has protected my mattress. It comes as a two pack. It doesn’t lose it’s effectiveness when washed. Considering making a repeat purchase.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.These are pretty good, they will protect the floor and keep from slipping around much. They absorb pretty well but not as much liquid as some other brands do. For small pets and spills they are great but for lots of liquid it may bleed out of the edge onto the floor. They are holding up well after lots of washing and bleaching. I like them!These perform as described. They wash well and do not hold an odor. They have made the task of caring for my senior digs incontinence much easier.These pads are durable, washable and easy to handle or take with you on the go. They are really handy and comfortable for use with dementia patients. I am very happy with them !!!Friend has a senior dog, works great on couch. The backing holds to couch, with little knobs, she loves them. They do not look like bed pads, because of the design.My husband has dementia and is now incontinent. These save me from having to wash sheets daily! Throwing this pad in the wash is so much easier and the 2-pack gives us a spare. This covers his whole side of the bed so the size is great. My only negative is that the surface is rough to the touch (not soft & smooth like our sheets), but he never complains. If he’s happy, I’m happy.These do EXACTLY as they are meant to do. I know so so many people who use these and have raved alsoExactly what I needed for my toddler who we are toilet training. Fits nicely across a double bed so no matter where he falls asleep he is coveredTrès bonne qualiterFacile nettoyer..reste en placeExcellent product
