IMPROVIA® Washable Underpads, Heavy Absorbency Reusable Incontinence Pads

These washable underpads have been a lifesaver during middle-of-the-night diaper changes! I keep one under my baby when I’m changing her on the bed because, every now and then, she decides to pee right before I can get the new diaper on. These protect my sheets and mattress from those unexpected accidents and give me so much peace of mind. They’re a great size, absorbent, and easy to wash and reuse. I love that I can simply toss them in the wash instead of constantly going through disposable pads. They’ve been especially useful for nighttime diaper changes, and I definitely recommend them to other parents!

*This is going to be very long, due to my thorough testing of various brands, but the information learned is worth it if you want to save money/save environment/save yourself a ton of trouble* Two factors that lead to my experiments with various brands of pee pads: 1.I’m poor, and I wanted to find the most economical/“bang for my buck” brand and 2. I work long hours and have two VERY large dogs that normally get taken out to potty, but are also trained to go on pee pads if nobody is home and they have to go. Let me tell you- these guys produce as much urine per pee as a large beer-drinking adult male lol. Needless to say, I’ve tried many different brands to see if they’re up to the task, and I’ve had to clean up SO many overflows, even if I do 2 or 3 layers of disposable pee pads. So far, the Simple Solution “All Day” variety (NOT the regular kind) have been the absolute best at absorbing the largest quantity of urine without leaking for their size. I’ve also done my own tests to measure the max limit of cups of water each brand can absorb, and the “All Day” pads by Simple Solution far out-absorb their competitors. I could get a full 8 cups before it started overflowing or leaking. The next best brand was Four Paws “Wee Wee Pads”, but their normal pads and their “extra absorbent” pads had VERY little difference in the actual quantity of water absorbed. 2.5-3 cups in regular vs 3.5 in the extra absorbent. Psh. But they did perform better and prevent more leaks than a bunch of other lower end pads I tried. After a few months of buying pee pads and seeing how many trash bags I filled up each week, tossing them out each day, I felt so guilty for the constant amount of plastic waste that it was producing, and I also got tired of paying for another box of pads each week! So I forayed into the world of washable pee pads. There are an endless number of brands and some are labeled for people (bedwetting children or the elderly, etc) and some labeled for pets, but as far as how they function and their absorbency, THERES NO DIFFERENCE except the ones for pets may have a cute bone pattern. (Some claim they have an attractant, but my dogs peed on whatever I put in the area they were used to having pee pads in, so I can’t verify). I tried multiple brands of reusable pads, with a wide variety of quality and absorbency (some were just complete trash) but the absolute BEST one that I found was the IMPROVIA reusable underpad. Unlike others I tried, it has special channels that wick the wetness to the outer edges, where the fabric ALLOWS THE WATER PORTION TO EVAPORATE. WTF!? I was skeptical as always, but after putting it out during the day, when I came home it almost felt dry! Not soaked and heavy like the other brands I had tried. Not only that, but it didn’t stink of pee in the house, either! It blew my mind! Now of course, it has its limits, but so far I’ve even had the dogs use it for a few days in a row before washing it, and it’s blown me away with its absorbent capabilities and the evaporation function. And after washing in the machine, it air dries in an hour (as opposed to other brands, that come out heavy and soaked and take days to air dry). I’m not a bot, nor do I get paid for any of this info (but once again, I’m poor, so hey, Improvia, if you want to send a little money my way for raving about you to every pet owner I run into, that would be great! Lol). But really, I’m just a pet owner who wants to pass on some helpful info, and also encourage others to pick something more environmentally friendly than disposable pee pads. You don’t have to be a hippie to want to help the planet that you live on- every little thing you do counts! So I say, give the reusable kind a try. If you hate them, no big deal- it’s Amazon- just return them! But you might find that they’re actually better than the disposables, and will save you so much money! And if that happens, all I say is “pass the message along”! (And mark this review as ‘helpful’ so it can be seen by more people) :D TLDR: Best disposable- Simple Solution “All Day” variety. Better option- IMPROVIA reuseable pads (last all day and then some!) Will save you hundreds of dollars in a short amount of time, and will also help the planet :)

These are remarkable! I had ordered blue absorbent "chux" pads only to be told by a caregiver about these pads. What a savings! These are so absorbent AND WASHABLE!!

I like em alot! Have used these June 2026, and they are simply the best. They stay in place, they are comfortable, and to date have zero stains with no bleed through. I like the fact that they are large enough so that when she moves, they keep the bed protected, and as an added bonus they keep her warmer. I have washed these numerous times, and they still look great considering how often I wash them. Regardless of the use, they are my favorite ones and saved me quite a bit of money and frustration over continuously replacing and disposing of paper ones.

These underpads absolutely 💯 absorb as described. I was pleasantly surprised about how well they worked. I ordered a 6 pack to try them out and they work so well for me(heavy amount of urine output) that I am going to order either another 6 pack or a 10 pack. If you need help protecting your mattress then don't worry about spending the money. Now, I just got them and I haven't washed them yet but I am hoping that they will work just as well as they did before laundering. If they don't then I will try and update the information.

I bought these to go under/in my male Netherland Dwarf rabbit's cage. I left it under/in the cage for several days as I intended it to catch small drips that made it past the tray under his cage. However, because the pad stuck out from under the cage into his play pen, he ended up using this pad extensively to urinate on it. When I went to change it out, I realized it had been used more than I realized and was quite soaked on about half of it. I was pleasantly surprised that the room had not smelled like urine, so it helped combat the odor. I removed one star, when I lifted the pad off my hardwood floor there was liquid, like sweat or condensation. I do not know if this was actually urine or just liquid that was drawn to the back of the pad. It was not enough liquid to hurt my floor but if left for a long time I'm guessing it would've. I didn't expect any liquid to be under the pad. I washed the pad with laundry soap and added baking soda per instructions. I did hang dry it, though the tag says you can tumble dry it. It came out looking good, it did smell like rabbit, but it did not smell like urine. I am pleased with the reusable pads, as I think in the long run they will save money and definitely save some waste from the environment. I am pleased with these, but suggest changing frequently if being used in a similar application to mine. I've included a picture of how I used mine. Also a second picture of the pad I washed and allowed to air dry. It is a little wrinkly but otherwise unscathed.

Great product that is absorbent and washes well! This product is large enough to cover a crib or toddler's bed, and if you use two, you can cover a large portion of full or queen sized adult bed. I used disposables for a long time, but they don't stay in place, and even though they are convenient in some ways, I would much rather use the washable because they serve their purpose much better, and they are better for the environment.

So, I got this Nov 5/6th. I have had these for about 2 days, now. I have had her try to chew them a few times, but since I am home I can tell her no. She has ultimately left them alone! Utter silence for 2 days, so far! Thank you lord! I was able to get her more space on Monday Nov 11th. I am happy with that. It's not enough but better than the small one she had bf. Until I can get the larger size I compromised with another puppy pee pad. The other puppy pee pads I had while I like them she kept pawing and scratching at them. Too a certain point leak once enough pee was on them. She'd also find away to remove them and then pee on my floor, ugh 😒! She just wouldn't leave it alone. It was a battle of wills. Bc all I said was " that's not a toy/ no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, what did I say that's not a toy, no, no, no, no, no, no, no" She would get a new one every night or morning. It would be the same thing. Day after day after day. For the most part, hasn't pawed at it bc of the thicker material. U can see in one photo where she moved it up a little. Once my other bunny gets her new bowls (nov 21st) bc they are sharing supplies rn she will get a little bit more space. Then once FIXED and potty trained can have more. I do feel bad , but I don't want pee on my floor, sorry. It's not fun to clean up or look at by the way. She is my only problem child of the clan/group. That's why I needed some more puppy pee pads. I like these bc they are washable. The other ones were disposable, so that cost me money. Washable will help me money and for that reason will get another set! I did check after the 1st day I haven't seen any leakage, yet. So, will continue to check. My only con: is the size. It barely fits her play pen. I have to use 2 and not 1 like I was hoping. I did get all 4 in the 4 pack. I am super thrilled and happy with the silence!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the fact that they can hold up against her will! I was very unsure but did reviews bf purchasing. What ultimately lead me to buy them was have the cost at 20.93 and washable vs 41.99 and disposable. I am a very excited mommy 2 points! Update: Mon Nov 25th. I washed 1 in both washer and dryer. I only used 1 tide pod. It came out great. As you can see there is still a stain on it. I wasn't expecting it to come out perfectly. I also let it sit in the bag for awhile on purpose. They held up will. It's in the dryer now on low temp. So, she will get at least 1 clean one every week. I have to have 3 at all times bc she doesn't like the other puppy pee pads that are underneath as such she will tear and rip it. I did only just wash the 1 and with nothing else. Bc all pee is usually oilly. I didn't want to mix it in with my clothes. I might even use these for myself when I have my girl time every month... By far my favorite product!!!!! I am going to buy more. I'd originally planned on it, but decided to cancel bc I wanted to finish 1 project at a time (my other bunny got the last food and water bowl set) and not overwhelm myself. So, extra of these is def next.

ممتاز جدا وقد تم الشراء منة عدة مرات يمتص بشكل ممتاز وما يسرب الملاحظة الوحيدة انه بعد الغسيل يحتاج اكتر من 3 ساعات حتى ينشف وهذا منطقي بسبب طبيعتة اللي تمتص السوائل

The mats work well . However ! After an initial wash ,one of the mats tore on the underside . I contacted the seller and all I got as a reply was that they would pass on my complaint to manufacturer to see if they could improve the quality in the future . The mats are not cheap and if the durability is poor they will soon need replacing

work very well... nice and large..... very absorbent. wash well also

Es una excelente compra, no traspasa nada de líquido, son súper absorbentes y de buen tamaño.

A bit smaller than measured which is fine. Not great quality, doesn't have that absorbent feel other brands have- it's quite thin with a waterproof backing.
