How do incontinence chair pads work?

• Incontinence chair pads are designed to absorb moisture and protect the chair from spills, leaks, or accidents. Here’s how they work:
• Absorbent Layer: The top layer of the pad is made from a soft, absorbent material that quickly wicks away moisture from the skin. This keeps the user dry and comfortable, preventing skin irritation and rashes.
• Waterproof Backing: Beneath the absorbent layer, there is usually a waterproof backing made from materials like vinyl or polyurethane. This layer prevents moisture from soaking through to the chair or furniture, keeping it dry and protected.
• Non-Slip Base: Many chair pads feature a non-slip base, ensuring that the pad stays in place even with movement. This is important for preventing the pad from bunching up or shifting, which could lead to leaks.
• Reusable vs. Disposable: Reusable chair pads can be washed and reused, making them cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Disposable pads, on the other hand, are convenient for one-time use and can be easily discarded after use.
