If you or a loved one or patient is struggling with incontinence, waterproof bed liners are one of the incontinence products you can take advantage of to reduce uncomfortable situations.
A waterproof pad for bedwetting can be placed on the person’s bed, to prevent the mattress from getting damaged. There are also waterproof chair pads, which are smaller can be placed on chairs, wheelchairs, or car seats.
Waterproof bed pads for adults have many other uses aside from being utilized as a waterproof bed liner. Cover furniture, line a sofa, or put waterproof bed protectors on any surface in your home to prevent it from getting wet.
Washable Waterproof Bed Pads / Reusable Waterproof Bed Pads
Reusable waterproof bed pads, otherwise known as washable waterproof bed pads, are quite popular, since they are:
