Underpads

Choosing the right underpads comes down to a few things: how often you're changing them, how much absorbency you need, and whether cost per use matters more than upfront price.

Disposable underpads, sometimes called chux, are the go-to for high-turnover situations. They're practical for facilities managing multiple residents or for caregivers handling overnight changes at home. Once they're soiled, you toss them. No laundry, no delay. For nursing homes and hospice settings where infection control is a priority, disposables keep things simple.

Washable underpads are a better fit when you're looking to reduce ongoing costs. A single washable pad can last through hundreds of washes, which adds up fast if you're buying incontinence pads regularly. They tend to feel softer against skin, too, which matters for anyone spending long hours in bed or a wheelchair.

Size is worth paying attention to. A 30x36 pad covers most of a standard bed's midsection and tucks under the sheet without bunching. For recliners or wheelchairs, a smaller pad may work better. If you're outfitting a facility, we can help you figure out the right mix of sizes and absorbency levels for your residents.

We carry incontinence supplies in quantities that work for individual caregivers and in bulk for assisted living facilities, hospice programs, and nursing homes. Whether you need a single pack or cases at a time, we keep pricing straightforward.
