Incontinence Tips: The Many Uses of Disposable Underpads


Bed pads are waterproof sheets that are put under your sheets to protect your mattress from night-time accidents. Incontinence bed pads are commonly used on baby and children’s beds to protect from bed wetting. Although less common, many adults suffer from nocturnal enuresis as well according to The National Association for Continence.
According to the Mayo Clinic, there can be a variety of different reasons as to why you may be suffering from night time bed wetting such as medication side effects, neurological disorders, bladder issues, etc.
Bed pads offer protection and peace of mind and for anyone who is dealing with night-time accidents.
