[2023/09/15] Underpads, those often-overlooked heroes of incontinence care, play a crucial role in maintaining cleanliness and comfort. These large square or rectangle-shaped products are designed to go under the body, providing much-needed leak protection. Whether you’re dealing with incontinence yourself or caring for a loved one, understanding how to choose the best underpad can make a significant difference in your daily routine.
What Are Underpads?
Underpads are absorbent pads that serve as a barrier between your body and the surfaces you want to protect, such as beds, mattresses, furniture and wheelchairs. They typically consist of three layers: a soft and comfortable top layer, an absorbent middle layer, and a plastic-like bottom layer that prevents leakages.
Choosing the Best Underpad: Considerations
When selecting the right underpad for your needs, here are some key factors to consider:
1. Absorption Level: Different underpads offer varying levels of absorbency (light, medium, and heavy). The core material used plays a significant role. Polymer cores are highly absorbent and keep the top sheet dry, while fluff cores may require more frequent changes.
2. Backing Material: Cloth-backed underpads are less likely to shift during use, providing greater stability and comfort for beds. Plastic or vinyl-backed underpads offer more protection but may move around.
3. Breathability: Underpads with breathable backing allow air circulation, promoting better skin health. Look for options with a breathable design, often without a polypropylene backing.
4. Top Sheet Softness: For sensitive skin or extended use, choose underpads with a soft top sheet for added comfort.
5. Size: Select the appropriate size based on the surface you want to cover.
