Description

Disposable underpads designed for surface protection—typically positioned on beds, couches, or delivery tables to absorb fluids such as blood, urine, or other discharges. Their main function is to keep surfaces dry and maintain hygiene during postpartum period or caregiving. 

2. Prescription

Not required. These are over‑the‑counter, disposable hygiene products, widely available via medical suppliers, pharmacies, and e‑commerce. 

3. Therapeutic Category

Categorized under incontinence care and surface protection products, specifically disposable underpads or bed/delivery mats. 

4. Active Ingredients / Composition

No pharmacological ingredients. Typical structure includes:

• Top sheet: Soft, cloth‑like, non‑woven fabric that wicks fluid away from the skin.
• Absorbent core: Made of cellulose fibers combined with super‑absorbent polymers (SAP) for high absorbency.
• Backsheet: Waterproof polyethylene (e.g., peach or blue) to prevent leakage onto surfaces. 

5. Vitamins

Not applicable—these are non‑consumable hygiene products.

6. Minerals

• Absorbency levels: Moderate to super absorbent, depending on core composition.

  Available sizes from Attends include Cover‑Dri pads in 80×170 cm (30‑count), plus other formats. 

8. Consume Types

Non‑consumable disposables—they are laid on surfaces to absorb fluids and then discarded after a single use.

9. Directions / Usage

1. Unfold pad and place soft, absorbent side upward on the surface.
2. Position under hips or area prone to fluid exposure (e.g., during delivery, postpartum bleeding, incontinence).
3. Replace pad when saturated.
4. Dispose of in regular waste—do not flush.
   These steps are standard for underpad use.
