Frequently Asked Questions for Commercial & Healthcare Buyers

Durability & Laundering

Q: How many wash cycles can these underpads withstand? A: Our Confidence® underpads are engineered for institutional use and are designed to withstand hundreds of washing and drying cycles. The 4-layer bonded construction ensures they maintain their integrity and waterproof capabilities long-term, offering excellent value and a durable alternative to disposables.

Q: Are there any special laundering instructions for a commercial laundry? A: For best results, machine wash with a mild detergent and tumble dry on a medium heat setting. While they are durable, we recommend avoiding high concentrations of chlorine bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the waterproof barrier over time.

Q: How do these pads compare in cost to disposables over time? A: While the initial investment is higher than a single pack of disposables, the long-term savings are significant. By eliminating the need for constant re-purchasing, these reusable underpads drastically reduce your facility's supply costs and waste output within a very short period.

Usage & Performance

Q: What is the benefit of the "Saddle-Style with Tuck-in Tails"? A: The tuck-in tails are long fabric flaps that can be tucked securely under the mattress. This design is highly recommended for patient beds as it prevents the pad from shifting, bunching, or slipping, ensuring the absorbent surface stays exactly where it's needed most, even with restless patients.

Q: How absorbent are these pads? A: The pads feature a high-density absorbent core designed for moderate to heavy incontinence. The quilted top layer wicks moisture away from the skin quickly, while the core locks it away to provide reliable protection and enhance patient comfort.

Q: Does the waterproof backing make noise or cause sweating? A: No. The waterproof barrier is designed to be quiet and discreet. It is bonded to a soft fabric topsheet that is breathable, which helps to maintain patient comfort and prevent the skin irritation that can be caused by non-breathable plastic or vinyl materials.

Ordering & Sizing

Q: Why are the underpads sold only in case packs? A: We package our underpads in case packs of 12 to meet the bulk purchasing needs of our commercial and institutional clients, which allows us to offer more competitive pricing and streamline inventory management for facilities like hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics.

Q: What is the difference in use between the 34" x 36" and 34" x 52" sizes? A: The 34" x 36" is a standard and versatile size, ideal for covering the torso area on a bed or for use on chairs and wheelchairs. The larger 34" x 52" size offers more extensive coverage, making it suitable for larger patients or for those who may require repositioning, providing protection from the shoulders to below the knees.
