Our diapers help prevent against rashes by being breathable yet absorbent enough to protect against leaks from urinary dribbles to fecal incontinence.

Underpads (chux)
Underpads, sometimes referred to as chux or bed pads, are disposable or washable protective pads that offer extra protection for furniture such as couches, mattresses, and car seats. These heavy absorbency pads protect against light bladder leaks to heavy fecal leaks.
