Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What makes "Breathable" underpads different from standard poly-backed underpads?
Standard plastic-backed pads block air and trap heat, which can lead to sweating and skin breakdown. Breathable backsheets allow air to circulate while still stopping fluid, helping maintain healthy, dry skin.
How does Maximum Absorbency compare to Super and Ultra underpads?
Maximum Absorbency is McKesson's highest absorbency tier, designed for severe incontinence and extended overnight protection beyond the Moderate (Super) and Heavy (Ultra) levels.
Are these underpads FSA/HSA eligible?
Yes, disposable incontinence supplies like underpads are typically eligible for reimbursement through Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA).
