Kylie Bed Pad - A Simple Solution for Nighttime Leaks

G'day guys, I hear all the time on here how when you have a leak at night it makes a mess of the bed and you have to do a big clean-up. I don't know if this is what you call it in other countries

but I have a Kylie bed pad which, if you do have a leak, it's located to just the Kylie. It is waterproof on the back and a very soft material on the top. It washes very easily and if you have more than one, you can change it over and get back to sleep and do the wash tomorrow. See photo. Regards, IGGIE

I'd take one... if Kylie comes with the bed sheet. 😉

You buy 2, you get the third one free. Name your price. IGGIE

Called a chux pad here. :-)

Usually after a hospital stay... I get a lot of supplies from the nurses there to take home.

Liner sheets, those blue absorbent pad sheets they place over the bed, are given to me for home. A nice care package.

And given to me a lot of them too, plus other stuff like gauze and tape.

I use these liners under my bed sheet to protect the mattress.

I tape them to the mattress and put the bed sheet over them.

Easy peasy for me. You can buy these bed liners anywhere too.

Now, regarding Kylie... if she came with her Kylie pad, there would be some serious chuxing. 🤦‍♂️

Probably not a good idea, Warrior. That bed would not look very inviting. If someone is going to share that bed, they would wonder what it is for and make a run for it.

...Bowsprit... Hey dude? Sup?

Good hearing from ya.

You do understand this liner is under the bed sheet, unseen? Pulled and taped to the mattress... the bare mattress. If I were to strip the top sheets and leave just the bottom - I think it's called a flat sheet - you could not see the liner. It's taut. Thin. Not bulky.

Besides... who checks that? It's covered. Neatly, discreetly.

This Kylie cover looks like a cover I would use to keep my dog, cat, animal, iggie hair away from the couch or bed.🤣

Pretty damn obvious!! It's a cover, right? Slightly indeed. A cover on the outside would make me run if not cat or dog present.

So I am not sure about what you mean about it possibly being an issue? Explain.

They also make fitted protective bed liners... some are very comfortable. Waterproof... pee proof. Soft. Can't even tell one has it on their bed.

I don't see an issue especially if retreating to bed with a partner,

The last thing they'd be looking at is my flat sheet. It's all about the dressing on the bed - comforter, pillows, etc.

How do you protect your mattress?

Ok, now I see it, but how does it prevent the top sheets from getting soaked, and what if you forgot to take the bed cover off in your haste? Anyway, you have made your point. I once bought a carved and painted bed from a rural area; it belonged to the local landlord. It had fittings for light bulbs at all four corners! Either he liked to light up the evenings or read in bed a lot. I think the former was the intended use. I have never leaked in bed, except once; the wafer parted, but nothing escaped. I have to keep my fingers crossed.

Ahhh, the top sheets... good question.

Yeah, that's always an issue... shit all over top sheets. Bottom sheets... yourself.

It sucks. Nasty way to begin a morning.

I wear a t-shirt... cotton as a barrier... over the years you become quite acute when you are about to blow a seal. Well... at least... I am...

I threw out a lot of sheets and comforters over the years.

I can't bring myself to wash the shit out of them. So gross.

In lieu of putting your entire lower body half in plastic, I don't see how you can prevent soiling the bed sheets.

You'd have to wrap yourself up in a cocoon of sheathing or plastic.

Ha ha, an oversized hefty garbage bag.

But no... with a partner... gotta keep things as normal as possible looking.

There is hope. Over time you get to know the life cycle of your bag... 2 to 5 days?

Then you know what to eat and the timing of it...

So... you adjust. I found fewer leaks by doing this over time...

I am down to one time empty around 4 a.m.

And it's been a no-leak situation for a long time. Just an adjustment period.

Have not had a decent night's sleep since 2016.

But... yeah... think I am finally getting there with adjustments and better-fitted appliances.

Some people can't see the wood for the trees.

You explain so everyone gets it.
