Underpads

Waking up to a wet bed is uncomfortable, disruptive, and with the right underpad in place entirely avoidable. Underpads sit beneath the person on a bed, chair, or furniture surface and absorb leaks before they reach the material underneath. Simple in concept, genuinely important in daily care.

At Signature LTC Supplies, we carry two trusted underpad options built for exactly this one for daytime use, one specifically for overnight protection.

Two Products, Two Situations — Here’s the Difference

Presto® Heavy Absorbency Underpad, 30″ x 36″

This is the go-to option for daytime and general-use coverage. The Presto® heavy absorbency underpad features a strong absorbent core that handles leaks quickly, a leak-resistant backing to protect the surface underneath, and a soft top layer that supports comfort during extended use.

• Size: 30″ x 36″
• Quantity: 100 underpads per case
• Best for: Daily use, home care, long-term care facilities, and caregiver-assisted routines
• Designed to protect beds, chairs, and furniture from leaks

At 30″ x 36″, it provides a generous coverage area that stays in place and covers what it needs to.

Prevail® Night Time Disposable Underpads

Overnight care is a different challenge. The person is in one position for longer, leakage is more likely, and disruptions to sleep are costly for both the resident and the caregiver. The Prevail® Night Time Disposable Underpads are built specifically for this absorbent construction and a soft top sheet that reduces leakage concerns through the night and makes cleanup easier in the morning.

• Quantity: 100 underpads per case
• Best for: Overnight protection, bedbound care, and extended use
• Designed to protect beds, chairs, and other surfaces from leaks
• Soft top sheet supports comfort through the night

Underpads vs Absorbent Underwear — Which One Do You Need?

This is a common question and the answer depends on the situation:

• Underpads protect the surface of the bed, chair, or furniture. They’re not worn by the person; they sit underneath them.
• Absorbent underwear for adults is worn directly on the body and handles leakage at the source, before it reaches any surface.

For many caregiving situations, both are used together with absorbent underwear for adults as the primary protection, and an underpad as a secondary layer for overnight or extended care. It’s a practical combination that reduces the chance of any leak getting through to bedding or furniture.

Who Uses Underpads Most

Underpads are a staple in a wide range of care situations:

• Elderly individuals managing moderate to heavy incontinence overnight
• Post-surgery or post-procedure recovery at home
• Bedbound patients in long-term care or nursing settings
• Anyone using absorbent briefs or adult disposable underwear who wants an added layer of surface protection
