Gorilla GripOriginal Slip-Resistant Leak Proof Mattress Pad Protector (52x34) Oeko Tex Certified, Bed Wetting & Incontinence Cover Absorbs up to 8 Cups, Waterproof, Washable Pads For Toddler, Kids

My mother wets the bed every single night since she had a stroke, not matter how much or how little liquid she's had during the day. We were using disposable pads but those still sometimes leaked, moved around, weren't very large, and just felt wasteful. I bought two types of these large underpads on Amazon, one of them being the Gorilla Grip ones.There are many pros for these underpads. They are absorbent -- my mother's sheets haven't been wet even as she leaked enough to soak through her shirt all the way up her back. The little rubber gripping dots on the back do seem to keep the pad in place, although I will admit, my mother doesn't move around very much. But they don't slide up as she's adjusting herself as she gets into bed at night. The top is soft enough, although I wouldn't call it plush. They are thin and not at all bulky, so they'd be great to use under or on top of sheets.However, 85% of the time when I wash them, I can't get the urine smell out of them. I have tried everything: washing them immediately after I take them off the bed in the morning, 4-5 different types of detergents, adding baking soda to the wash, adding vinegar to the wash, adding Odor Blaster OxyClean to the wash, adding Lysol Fabric Sanitizer, using Tide fabric sanitizing spray before the wash. I've tried the bulky load (I know with HE washers, there's sometimes not enough water to get things as clean as with the old machines), the heavy duty mode. There is no rhyme or reason to what gets rid of the smell and what doesn't. I can wash them 2 or 3 times in a row and the smell is still there. It's a craps shoot, honestly. The only thing I haven't tried is regular bleach because I believe the washing instructions said to only use non-chlorine bleach. It's just a little frustrating because I want them to smell clean (the urine smell comes out of her clothes) and I feel like I'm wasting a lot of water experimenting on how to get rid of the lingering smell.The only plus to doing all of this washing is that I can say that these have held up VERY well thus far in the wash, hahaha.So, in summary, these do the job they're supposed to do: they absorb liquid very well, they aren't bulky, they seem to stay put, they survive washing well. But, for whatever reason the urine smell lingers on them, at least in my case.If anyone has any tried and true tips for getting rid of that smell, or if anyone has used bleach while washing them and didn't destroy them, please let me know! I'd love to give them a higher rating, but I just can't right now. :(

I have used a few waterproof mattresses in the past and none was absorbent enough and neither stayed in place. I always end up washing both the mattress pad and the bedcovers.The Original GORILLA GRIP Slip-Resistant Incontinence Mattress Pad (52"x 34") Cover is a little expensive compared to the other 2 waterproof mattresses I have. But the size and quality match the price, so does the fact that it is slip-resistant.I use the Mattress Pad on a twin-size bed and it almost covers a twin-size bed. The ad claims the mattress pad to absorb 8 glasses of water ( not sure how much the 8 glass of water is , the quantity may vary to glass size) hence I tried the Mattress Pad Cover with 40 0z (1.18294 litres) of water. It does hold that (40 oz) much of water and keeps the bedcovers clean and dry.Overall, I am happy with the size, quality and price of the mattress. It is a lifesaver and I use it every day for a carefree ,tension-free feeling. it is better to buy one good mattress than buying multiple cheap waterproof mattresses which won't solve the purpose.would highly recommend.

He comprado 2 y muy feliz con mi compra, primero compré uno para probarlo y al ver qué absorbe super bien compré el segundo para mí hija. Estoy muy feliz y ya no me preocupo por los colchones, además es muy práctico ya que se puede mover muy fácil en caso de que decida que pueden dormir mis hijos en mi cama...

The little dots on the back do not grip anything. It's long enough I can tuck it in between the wall and the bed. The pad moves around as my daughter does at night. I got it for when she has her period so I'm not sure if it will keep the mattress clean and dry if there are accidents.

Used for adult incontinence. Did not hold 8 cups of liquid and did not stay on the bed.
