> 24 hourIm a caregiver and I bought these for a 93 year old senior with incontinence issues. They are just fine and she likes them well enough and I will probably be ordering another set for her soon.

> 24 hourI bought these pads for my dog who suffers from separation anxiety. Whenever he is stressed, he drinks all his water and then pees on the hallway floor. I can be gone for 30 minutes or 3 hours but would come home to a wet floor. Since using these pads I have no more “puddles.” I would absolutely recommend them!

> 24 hourI’ve used washable pads for my dogs for many years, these work great, lay flat and stays put, doesn’t bunch up when my little doxie scratches around. They launder great and retain their shape and sturdiness.

> 24 hourVery good absorbency, easy to wash/dry. We use these for puppy pads for our large dogs. Due to the size of our dogs, we do have to use two side-by-side (with some overlap, lol), but that is not a problem at all. I purchased them a couple of months or so ago and theyve held up to the amt of pee large dogs produce and the different consistencies of poop (washes out easily in the washer) they produce. Will def purchase these again when they finally get worn out. The pack of 4 is ideal for changing out and washing. Def a good buy!

> 24 hourAfter the pads were delivered, I received a detailed message from Customer Service thanking me for the order and providing detailed instructions on use and care of the product. This was very much appreciated - I received the info prior to opening the package. The instructions were very clear. I was able to forward them to the recipient, who appreciated the info as well. I also liked that there were quantity purchase options. Since this was my first purchase of these specific pads, I was glad I could choose a small number of pads, to be sure they worked for us.

> 24 hour*This is going to be very long, due to my thorough testing of various brands, but the information learned is worth it if you want to save money/save environment/save yourself a ton of trouble* Two factors that lead to my experiments with various brands of pee pads: 1.I’m poor, and I wanted to find the most economical/“bang for my buck” brand and 2. I work long hours and have two VERY large dogs that normally get taken out to potty, but are also trained to go on pee pads if nobody is home and they have to go. Let me tell you- these guys produce as much urine per pee as a large beer-drinking adult male lol. Needless to say, I’ve tried many different brands to see if they’re up to the task, and I’ve had to clean up SO many overflows, even if I do 2 or 3 layers of disposable pee pads. So far, the Simple Solution “All Day” variety (NOT the regular kind) have been the absolute best at absorbing the largest quantity of urine without leaking for their size. I’ve also done my own tests to measure the max limit of cups of water each brand can absorb, and the “All Day” pads by Simple Solution far out-absorb their competitors. I could get a full 8 cups before it started overflowing or leaking. The next best brand was Four Paws “Wee Wee Pads”, but their normal pads and their “extra absorbent” pads had VERY little difference in the actual quantity of water absorbed. 2.5-3 cups in regular vs 3.5 in the extra absorbent. Psh. But they did perform better and prevent more leaks than a bunch of other lower end pads I tried. After a few months of buying pee pads and seeing how many trash bags I filled up each week, tossing them out each day, I felt so guilty for the constant amount of plastic waste that it was producing, and I also got tired of paying for another box of pads each week! So I forayed into the world of washable pee pads. There are an endless number of brands and some are labeled for people (bedwetting children or the elderly, etc) and some labeled for pets, but as far as how they function and their absorbency, THERES NO DIFFERENCE except the ones for pets may have a cute bone pattern. (Some claim they have an attractant, but my dogs peed on whatever I put in the area they were used to having pee pads in, so I can’t verify). I tried multiple brands of reusable pads, with a wide variety of quality and absorbency (some were just complete trash) but the absolute BEST one that I found was the IMPROVIA reusable underpad. Unlike others I tried, it has special channels that wick the wetness to the outer edges, where the fabric ALLOWS THE WATER PORTION TO EVAPORATE. WTF!? I was skeptical as always, but after putting it out during the day, when I came home it almost felt dry! Not soaked and heavy like the other brands I had tried. Not only that, but it didn’t stink of pee in the house, either! It blew my mind! Now of course, it has its limits, but so far I’ve even had the dogs use it for a few days in a row before washing it, and it’s blown me away with its absorbent capabilities and the evaporation function. And after washing in the machine, it air dries in an hour (as opposed to other brands, that come out heavy and soaked and take days to air dry). I’m not a bot, nor do I get paid for any of this info (but once again, I’m poor, so hey, Improvia, if you want to send a little money my way for raving about you to every pet owner I run into, that would be great! Lol). But really, I’m just a pet owner who wants to pass on some helpful info, and also encourage others to pick something more environmentally friendly than disposable pee pads. You don’t have to be a hippie to want to help the planet that you live on- every little thing you do counts! So I say, give the reusable kind a try. If you hate them, no big deal- it’s Amazon- just return them! But you might find that they’re actually better than the disposables, and will save you so much money! And if that happens, all I say is “pass the message along”! (And mark this review as ‘helpful’ so it can be seen by more people) :D TLDR: Best disposable- Simple Solution “All Day” variety. Better option- IMPROVIA reuseable pads (last all day and then some!) Will save you hundreds of dollars in a short amount of time, and will also help the planet :)

> 24 hourI bought these pads after someone suggested reusable pads for my rabbit who refuses to use the litterbox (she claims it hurts her paws). I chose these as they seemed economical as well as had a good rating. Upon receipt, just to test them, I simply placed one over a pre-existing litter box. My resistant rabbit immediately hopped on, claimed it as hers, and stretched out. So, according to my rabbit, the padding is comfy enough over litter (humans might have a different opinion). I backed off on the five stars due to some minor absorbency issues (though admittedly it might be because a 14 pound rabbit has more than your usual urine amount) and it does take a little extra cleaning/soaking to ensure its hygienic. My other rabbits have decided (once allowed on) the pads were a much better plan and I will be purchasing more and switching over, saving both on delicate little paws and litter costs.

> 24 hourI bought these to use instead of chucks pads. Boy was that the right move. Ive been using them under the bedsheet while caring for an elderly and somewhat incontinent family member. I bought the largest size and place them under the potty chair to protect the carpet. Once they get soiled I put them in the washer and dryer and they are good as new. Ive washed them more than a dozen times and youd never know. If Im not in a rush I like to hang them on the clothes line. They dry QUICKLY. They also work well in crates or when trying to potty train the pup. There are so many off label used it crazy. If I didnt have these Id be throwing money away on disposables. Love love love these.
