Reviews are sooo mixed! I want this for a 3 yr old who sometimes wets through diaper at night. Is it waterproof or not?? Thanks!

Yes, this is absolutely waterproof. My three old wets her bed regularly and it does not seep through to the mattress. I can guarantee that. We bought two, to have an extra to remake the bed. I am about the order more for my sons bed right now.

Because reviews are mixed in regard whether the bedpad is waterproof or not, i would not trust it. I do not own one, but I recently purchased a new bed and that cover was offered as part of the package. I declined to have it, but I was shown a sample and the waterproof element was demonstrated. From what I could surmise, the pad may indeed be waterproof, but with use, it may develop random weaknesses and allow liquid to pass through. My suggestion would be to purchase some waterproof underpads (often sold for incontinent patients) for the bed, and place a pad or two UNDERNEATH the 'waterproof' mattress pad. That way you would have a little extra insurance against a 'pee bed'. The pads would last a long time I would think. You could also fold a shower curtain or plastic table cover to the appropriate size needed and use that under the pad... you can get the thin cheap ones at the dollar store.

Hi Megan- I also bought these to use over my child's underwear at bedtime, as he is fully potty trained in his conscious hours. Unfortunately, they did NOT keep the wetness in. They leaked pretty much every night. If the elastic around the thighs and stomach are tight enough to hold back wetness, then they hurt him. If they were remotely comfortable, they leaked. These are basically useful for those kids who are almost making it to the potty, but needs those few extra seconds. Hope this helps. Good luck.

i'm not sure if it will work for an older child but my daughter is 5yr old and she just stopped wetting the bed and i have not had any issues with leaking...i have a tempurpedic mattress that she sleeps on and it has worked perfectly....i do have a tempurpedic brand cover, the terry type cloth one that does absolutely nothing, it does not work. i hope this helps

It's not waterproof. It says it's splash proof but that's it. Ours got wet and stopped working but we were able to dry it out in rice and it worked again. I will say that the customer service was amazing-super helpful with great follow up

The cover seems to be waterproof, but we stack the sheets and mattress pads anyways. We put down a mattress pad, sheet, mattress pad, then sheet, and so on about 4 layers, so in the middle of the night if the top layer gets dirty/wet, you can yank off that layer and be back in business!

It is safe and it is waterproof also. but I still recommend using a mattress pad and crib sheet. Nothing is too good for a precious newborn baby! tthing is

In my opinion the material is water resistant, not completely water proof. We used a bunch in light rain and snow and our baby always stayed dry.

It's water resistant but still a fabric. Our son still wets through his PJs on occasion and it hasn't seemed to wet the mattress, but it is fabric, not plastic like his old one. If you're expecting big messes, waterproof covering may be a good idea, but we didn't want him sleeping on plastic. So far so good on this, and it's sturdy and comfortable.

I don't think it is waterproof, although my son has used it in the rain and not had a problem.

I have one that I use as a night time diaper only. No leakage issues at all. They do need to be stripped regularly though. They micro terry on the inside of the soaker flaps gets stinky quickly. As far as a regular wash cycle I just cold rinse hot wash and cold rinse

The cover is waterproof, but it is not a separate cover. Despite the fact that it is waterproof, we also use an American Baby organic waterproof mattress cover, bought from Amazon also. It's a super snug fit and adds a little extra comfort to the mattress. Highly recommend it to go with this mattress!

We use these diapers as our night-time diapers only. They are bulky, but so perfect for nighttime. We put it on our 6 month old after we bath him to put him to bed around 7:30 and it will last till about 6am! It's so nice to not have to wake him up to change his diaper in the middle of the night. But- for yor question, we've used multiple different cloth diapers and they are all a little bulky and give him a bit of a bubble butt :) he's long so we have to buy bigger sized clothes anyways. These free time are bulkier than the pocket bum genius though ( because they have 2 layers of inserts)

Yes, i used it on a rainy night and it worked well with no problems. I don't think it's waterproof but definitely water resistant....

It is waterproof. I usually take a wet washcloth and wipe it down when my daughter is done eating.

Paul, I'm not sure about "waterproof" - I do want to alert you that the bracelet version we got has a REALLY CHEAP Clasp. It broke after my wife Terry wore it for about a day and half. We were (are) very disappointed as it turned out. Just wanted to give you a "heads up", and hope it's helpful.Dan Murphy

It is. I always put a sheet under it, so that when my son wets the bed, I can just strip the wet sheet and mattress pad and he can go right back to sleep on the clean dry sheet.It does eventually lose it, though. There was a time I was washing and drying it twice a day. After literally hundreds of washes, it started leaking through. Most people won't be washing it quite as much as I did, so that wouldn't be a problem for quite a while. I still use it for the extra padding, and plan on buying a new one for his bed.
