Is the back or absorbency part of the pad plastic or material? I bought one recently and it was plastic and doesn't wash well

It is like a cloth that has been coated in a waterproof substance, not a plastic. I have a HE washer and dryer. I have no trouble washing them on the bulkey setting, or drying them. Because the are waterproof some water will remain in a corner of the pad, very small amount. I will buy these again. Work great.

The back of the pad is a vynal-like material and the pad is quilted fabric. The back is very pliable and holds up well to washing.

these pads have waterproof backing, vinyl. I have washed them 15 times, and have had no problems, this is a very good product andwould buy them again.

I haven't had the need to wash the the underpad I bought back in October because it has not been soiled. However, I pulled out one of the underpads to examine it. The back side is a woven material. It feels like a woven fabric but sturdier. According to the product description, the back side is a "vinyl knit barrier" Sofnit 300 Washable Underpad, 34x36 in. White Toplayer, Moderate Absorbency, Soaker Ounce 8oz., Each,PINK

The back is not plastic. I don't know what it's called but it's waterproof. The product is machine washable and will last you a long time. It's the same grade as what used in hospitals and nursing homes.

The pads have a thin backing and the top is absorbent. The pads are soft and pliable--not very thick and definitely not stiff. I often put a pad on my davenport under a throw as my furry kids often sleep there.

Eileen, it is not plastic. It is a soft, white, sort of synthetic cloth. It gets wet on the inside but does not soak through. And it drains dry quickly.

No the material is not absorbent. It is like a leather, fake leather type of material and the liquid will pool on the cover and not soak through to your seat but if it spills while driving it my spill over the sides to your seat. I hope this helps.

Mine came with one pad and it is washable (made of washcloth like material)

It is polyester. I rated this mat a while ago when my daughter was doing tummy time. She is now 16 months. She only played on the mat for 2 months max. I liked it originally but it doesn't have grip on the backside so my daughter doesn't play on it anymore since it slips on our hardwood floor. Hope that extra info helps.

I have had mine about 6 months now and have washed it. I have had no problems thus far. As Mr. Button II said "the sides are made of real cloth" but I will add the sides are polyester. The top is lovely. I have had less expensive/cheaper mattress pads and had exactly what you are talking about happen. I think you will be happy with the quality of this pad for the price. Best wishes on your purchase.

Well its plastic. You can clean it with some bleach. Actually, the one I've had for about a year now hasn't shown any muck on it. It is quiet heavy plastic so if it does get gross or get bacteria on it, you can take it down, take out the ipad/iphone, and give it a gentle scrub with some bleach and water. The speakers are sealed into the curtain so they are good. Just be sure to seal up the ipad slot so water cant' get in when you clean it and its as good as new.

The tag says: CONTENTS:Front: 65% Polyester, 35% CottonBack: 65% Polyester, 35% CottonFilling: 100% Polyester FiberThe front feels like a towel and the back which has a big tag on it feels like a sheet, but neither side is soft. Great design, not ideal material.

Pad does not come with a cover and since the plastic is cooler than cloth, I think a cover would somewhat defeat the purpose. The plastic is easily wiped clean, I use disinfectant wipes. Hope this helps.

I wipe it down with clean wipes. It is plastic and a canvas material. Easy to clean.

I honestly don't know what the material is, except one side is an layered quilted type of absorbent material and the other side is a layered type very flexible rubber/plastic material that is liquid proof. As to cleaning them, just throw them in the washing machine, then the dryer, I've had no problems with these pads. They handle the washing and drying just fine and from past experience they will last a long time.

I have not yet used this applicatior, but I think the pad can be cleaned by washing it with soap and water.

Pads are washable. You can't use fabric softener, they can't go in the dryer.

that is a good question. maybe because the plastic is super thick? but the seller will definitely answer if you ask them. they contacted me before i had received my pad. i wish you luck.

Easy to clean. My wife puts it in the regular wash with our other dog bedding. Our dog is incontinent and did have an accident. The inner layer looks like a plastic type of material, but I'm torn on whether it is intended to be water proof. His urine did not get to the padded shell. Not sure how it would have been if we did not intervene right away though...

It's intended to protect from water but the material started to flake after a few times of my dog jumping in the car wet. I don't know how to explain the material, it's like woven but on the back it's plasticy and that plasticy material just started cracking and flaking everywhere.
