What moms do
- 1
Lay a disposable underpad (often sold as chux or incontinence pads) on top of the changing pad, so a messy change ends with one roll and toss.
- 2
Keep a few in the diaper bag for public changing tables and the back of the car.
- 3
Some buy the big box at a wholesale club and it lasts for months.
Why moms swear by it
They're made for people, so there's no puppy-pad scent to wonder about, and they're cheap in bulk. Keep them for changing spots and laps, not inside the crib or the car seat.
