Tranquility Essential Disposable Incontinence Underpads, Moderate Absorbency FAQs

What are underpads?

Underpads are absorbent pads placed on surfaces like beds, chairs, and wheelchairs to protect against incontinence leaks, postpartum discharge, wound drainage, and other moisture-related concerns. They help keep both the person and their furniture clean and dry.

How do I use underpads?

Place the underpad on the desired surface with the poly backsheet facing down against the bed, chair, or other surface. The clothlike topsheet should face up toward the person. Change the underpad whenever it feels wet or soiled.

How often should I change an underpad?

Change the underpad whenever it feels wet or soiled to maintain hygiene and prevent odor.

Can underpads be washed?

No, these are single-use disposable underpads and should be discarded after use.

What size underpad do I need?

The 28 x 30 inch size works well for chairs, wheelchairs, and smaller surfaces. The 36 x 36 inch size offers more coverage and is better suited for beds, larger chairs, or bigger users. When in doubt, sizing up provides more peace of mind.

Are these underpads safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. The clothlike topsheet is soft and non-irritating, and the latex-free construction makes them a comfortable choice for individuals with skin sensitivities.

Size Guide

Choosing the correct size underpad will depend on both the size of the person using it and the type of furniture the underpad is being used for. Typically, smaller sized pads are good for wheelchairs or other chairs that need protection, whereas larger pads work best for beds, couches, or larger users.
