Read on to learn answers to commonly asked questions about disposable underpads.

What is a disposable underpad?
A disposable underpad is a single-use pad filled with absorbent material that can hold urine, bodily fluids or other liquids. Underpads are frequently placed on hospital beds to absorb urine and other bodily fluids and help keep moisture away from delicate or at-risk skin. While many people think of underpads as only being for incontinence care, they’re actually multipurpose multi-taskers that you can use all around the house. You can use them in the bedroom to protect mattresses and bedding, in the living room to protect chairs and sofas, by the the back doorway as an absorbent mat for shoes, in the nursery to line the changing table pad and even in the bathroom to protect the floor from potty training misses.

What is a chux pad?
Chux pad or blue chux pad is just another name for a single-use underpad. The term is widely used in hospitals where disposable underpads are used for incontinence care, bandage changes, blood draws, minor procedures and more. The pad is used once for hygienic purposes and then tossed or “chucked.”
