Do these pads actually absorb quickly and feel dry to the touch? I have another brand and it seems to stay wet for hours. Thanks for your help.

They absorb the urine really well. They don't take very long to dry. I have two that I rotate every few days. They have washed and held up well.

They won't feel dry to the touch, though they do not look wet. They are pretty good to have around when its rainy outside. My poodles hate going out on their own when its wet and if I am not around to let them out they will use these instead of getting their feet wet.

I was very pleased with these pads when I got them. They wash up nicely to. I actually use them under my throw away pads because so many times they would leak onto my wood floors. These pads are very good at protecting your floor.

I have three small girls that use them. A malt, chi & yorkie all under 9 lbs, so they are never dry and go in washer everyday. I put down multiple pads at a time. They are better than paper pads and my my yorkie can't chew them up like the paper ones! I also have hardwood and tile no carpet!!!

Our experience with them is that they feel dry fairly quickly. I really like them.

No they aren't very "wet" if that makes sense. However I have used them constantly and they have never run out.

No...they do not, but they absorb quite well and are thicker than most other pads. They are above average quality and fortunately affordable for someone like me who is on a fixed income. Thank you Prevail!

I have not had that happen and my Mom is on these pads 24 hours a day!!! They are thick and soft. Now I do change my Mom's pad 4-6 times in a 24 hour shift so they do not sit under her for days. They seem durable- I doubt one pad would be good for weeks but I think it would last several days of just sitting or laying around on it.

These are the best washable pads I've used, but I don't think that they will solve your particular issue as the spots stay wet at the surface. I would suggest the single use pads for your situation.

You do not need gel for the pads I received with my unit, they are already "sticky". I do not know what "water activated" means, unless something has changed since I got mine...sorry.

Yes, these do stick very well. The pads that I originally received with the unit didn't stick as well as these do.

They dried very quickly for me. I even dumped some water on the let one day out in the field to test it out. It repelled most of the water and what remained dried quickly.

No, don't wet the pads. The dry pads work much better. The wet ones result in less traction.

I have been using these pads for my first dog who is a 13 year old Maltese and I now have a 1 year old yorkie mix and continue to use the x-large pads. At one time I was using the gigantic size but switched back to x-large since I find that the x-large is just as absorbent as the other. I have tried other pads but found they leaked and my floor was wet.

Yes, I've been using them for about 7 years, they are always wet. Even when I get them at my local store.

I don't know if in my review I typed the word "used". Of course they aren't used. As a "dog mom" of 5 dogs in various sizes I have tried all sorts of puppy pads. There are alot of them to choose from in all sizes and price points. I just started to use these pads about two months ago and really like them. They are a good size very absorbent and very reasonable in price. I hope you give them a try.

If you use the pads quite a bit they need to be washed or rinsed off, probably oil from your skin. Then they work again. Sometimes maybe they are not be pressed hard enough onto your skin, esp if they haven't been washed. Make sure the connections are all pushed in and attached. Other than this I don't know. Hope this helps! :)

These are definitely softer than disposable pads. I haven't found them irritating.

Yes! The pads are absorbent, what a great idea! You will love this item, it works so well. :)

Yes I think these would help you. Pads are made of materials that do tend to irritate down there. Just remember do not put bleach directly on these pads. I hope this was helpful.

These are slightly damp...but dry out in about 10-15 seconds. So...in my book...that is dry. these ones are pretty amazing!
