waterproof, absorbant pad for bed

Mere7706

I want one that I can put on top of the sheet that will absorb the accident. I found one at target that says it holds up to 6 cups!!  but it's only online.  I want one for this week if possible.

Anyone know where I can get one in store? Im going to search BRU now.

I ordered Eli's from Target, and it's been great.

did you get the $20 one?  The one my friend has, they don't sell anymore. I found it online and it's $30   And I want it for Thursday... way to plan, huh?

I have some PUL and fleece and flannel. I was thinking I may just use a towl or two between PUL and fleece/flannel and quilt it. My mom just said if I can't get to it before Thursday, she'll serge it and quilt it for me on Friday when I go to her house.  I may just 'not get to it' on purpose so she can do it nicer than I can!  Would you use fleece or flannel for the top layer?  Any other suggestion for the inner?

flannel, toweling, PUL. Quilt the top 2 layers together, then sew the PUL just around the edge. If you quilt through it, I think it would leak.

you could also try fleece instead of PUL, but in a big accident it may not hold up as well.

Honestly, I think we paid even more for the twin size...like 40 or maybe even 50.  (Mine goes underneath the sheet though and takes place of the mattress pad/protector) I remember wanting to throw up in my mouth a little bit about the price but I didn't want a gross piece of just plastic that would be all crunchy or something that would end up leaking through.  This one has done the trick!

I hope you're able to find a better alternative though!

Oh and I just did a quick search on amazon.  There are quite a few options there for under $20/30.  With the amazon mom, you have the free prime 2 day shipping so if you ordered tonight or tomorrow morning you might have it by Thursday.

I have a pad under the sheet/mattress pad cover. But I wanted something to go on top of the bed itself, not under the sheet. MIL doesn't have a waterproof mattress pad on her beds, so I wanted to bring soemthing along with me. I'll check out amazon though! Thanks
