The negative reviews on this product are absolutely infuriating. Please understand that the ridiculous complaints are turning people away From this product that would otherwise greatly improve their quality of life, and ignorant complaints cause people to go elsewhere and spend a lot more money for a lot less effective product.This is an outstanding product at a phenomenal price. The lining is extremely absorbent and these pads hold an enormous amount of liquid, at least 32 ounces. The amount of liquid that these pads hold is far superior to any other pad you can buy, primarily because if you need a pad to hold 32+ ounces of liquid, you need more than a pad, for gosh sake!I have ordered at least 2,000 of these pads over the past 3 years at the time of this review.The pad’s absorbent filling itself is not gel lock like you might see on some wee wee pads for dogs. In that same vein, It is also not like a diaper, a feminine pad, or a swifter mop pad. It is like a thin pillow(?) where the filling is highly absorbent, with a thin fabric-like covering, with the bottom being the peach waterproof plastic you see.If you violently shake open the pad, you have a very good chance of dislodging the filling inside the pad and that’s what you see on some of the pictures. (If it’s a problem for you to unfold the pad instead of taking out your aggressions on it, then stop reading any further.). You also run about a 50/50 chance of causing some part of the pad to tear slightly (because the padding is actually thicker/heavier than you would be used to) and If it tears, you suddenly have stuffing flying all over the room like a slumber party pillow fight.The pad is not designed to be used indefinitely. I have only ever seen the filling on the pad bunch up after a day/night of use. (You know it’s not like the liquid doesn’t find the filling and still work just fine.). But the pads never come like that and the filling doesn’t bunch up just from shaking open the pad. If you keep the same pad on the bed for several days as insurance against an accident, the filling will bunch up eventually and you will probably not like these... but in that situation it seems like a lighter fluff pad, or a washable reusable pad would probably be something that would save a lot of money in the long run.Don’t misunderstand me - The pad is not delicate; the pads tendency to rip comes from the weight of the stuffing combined with being too rough with the pad.In 2,000+ pads I have never witnessed a defect where the liquid soaked through the plastic - I don’t believe it for a second.On top of all I have said, 100 pads of size 30x36 for $30-35 is hands down the best value EVER, whether you are looking for pads for people or dogs. You cannot buy anything of that size pad absorbent enough to hold 32+oz. of liquid for dogs or humans for less than twice the price.The filling soaks up the liquid so well that my dog will use the pads 1-2 more times in different spots than any other pad.I used to use 23x36 pads for the dog, but because their lower absorbency I would go through the case of 150 in less time than I do for these (case of 100).There’s no odor with these either.
