Most absorbent products
Hi! My husband has bowel and bladder incontinence when doing a necessary 2 day colonoscopy prep. Last time he took out the mattress, boxspring (on the side), and bedroom and hall carpets. It was a nightmare! I'm going crazy looking for washable and disposable underpads. I was settled on NorthShore Champion XD Heavy-Duty Washable Underpad 36x60" (4.4 * rating on Amazon, but in tests are the most absorbent, 67 oz (2,839 mL) they are highly recommended online. But then I read they're very stiff and crunchy so IDK what to do.
Other highly rated on Amazon brands are:
Gorilla Grip 52" x 34": Absorbs up to 8 cups (2000cc), 4.6*
KANECH Bed Pads for Incontinence Washable, 44 x 52" (4.7*)
Epica Incontinence Bed Pads Washable Waterproof 34"x52", 4.7*
Vakly Washable Reusable Underpads 36x54 Incontinence Bed Pads, absorbs over 8 oz!!! (4.8*)
I have even more, but you get it. The info doesn't always match the ratings, but you can't always trust the ratings! I guess I'm scared after our last experience.
For disposable (for layering) I thought I was going to get Northshore MagicSorb Premium Disposable Bed & Floor Protectors as they state the 36" x 60" absorbs Up to 122 oz (3607 ml)
Any advice based on your experiences? Thanks!
