6 products that help with bedwetting

The Vancouver-based moms behind this protective mat both struggled with pee-soaked sheets night after night and knew there had to be a better way. So they came up with a reusable waterproof mat made with a top layer of soft, breathable cotton, an absorbent middle layer, and a grippy, waterproofed bottom layer that helps it stay put to protect the mattress and sheets. The pads go right into the washer and dryer and are great for travel. (Fun fact: Moms Amanda and Liz pitched their mat on Dragons’ Den and shook on a deal!)
