How can you keep washable incontinence pads from slipping off the bed?

Grandma1954 Jan 2021
The garters will help if the pads are large enough or if the garter will not chafe the skin of the person in bed.
You could try one of the rubberized shelf liners that will provide more grip that might be enough to prevent slippage. It would have to be rinsed off and air dried

The garters I refer to are UNDER THE MATTRESS, so unless the patient has extremely delicate skin, they will not be near the patient’s skin. No contact, if used as directed.

Google- “Walmart Sheet and Blanket Garters” - several styles available.

“Garters” that grab the corners of the pad diagonally and slip under the mattress. Available through Walmart.
