Did you know underpads serve many purposes? They protect the bed and the person by drawing moisture away and absorbing it, plus they are very useful in helping an immobile person scoot up or down in the bed. That means you get assistance in moving the person to change their clothes, the bed, or whatever. It’s easy for in bed patients to slide down when the head of the bed is raised and the washable underpads are wonderful in bringing them back up.
