Sometimes people need an alternative to adult diapers for sitting, sleeping, or anything else. For another great option, turn to underpads. Also known as chux, disposable underpads are plastic sheets with paper on top to accommodate varying absorbency levels. The paper absorbs liquids and the plastic prevents it from soaking through, effectively trapping moisture. The reusable version is made of polyester and cotton instead. These sheets come in a wide range of variety. You can purchase different sizes, absorbency levels, colors, and quality items. They work best with beds, wheelchairs, sofas, or anywhere you're going to spend a lot of time without moving in large amounts.Underpads are built in layers for ultimate absorptionHow to Use UnderpadsUsing underpads is easy as 1, 2, 3. First, you need to open the packaging and take the underpads out. Next, grab the edge of the product and throw the bottom without letting go of the edge to unfold it all at once. Place the item where you want with the white side up and then smooth it out so it lies down flat. Depending on which product you go, both sides might be white as opposed to the typically blue and white. In that case, make sure the soft side faces up and the smooth side faces down. Any liquid will be soaked up by the top side while the bottom side will prevent it from getting on the chair or bed below it.An example of disposable underpads folded and unfoldedOther Uses for UnderpadsWith a little creativity, underpads don't have to be used just for you. One of the more common uses is in childcare. Maybe you want to put it over your shoulder while you burp your baby to protect from spit-up, or set it on your lap while holding your baby. Using them on a crib, highchair, or changing station makes for easy clean up as well. With a little bit of reasoning and creativity, you can find other similar uses. With pets, they can be a good for a kennel, used as a newspaper replacement, house training, placed under the water bowl.
