Pack and play waterproof sheets?

[5 Little Monkeys]

I do a garbage bag taped, than a blanket on top of the garbage bag to reduce noise and then the sheet over it all. This way if there is an accident, I can just wash the sheet and blanket and hopefully the playpen mat is safe!

Once they are potty trained though I don't like to have them in the playpen for much longer. I don't feel that it's fair as they can't get out if they need to use the washroom. I transfer them to a sleep mat and watch them on the video monitor until I am confident that they will stay there and not play around. I am looking into buying 2 cots though so that I have a choice of mat or cot for the potty trained and older children.

They sell bed mats in the pull up section at any store. They work like a diaper to absorb liquid. I use them on my sons bed and they are pretty good. For drooling however I would probably use a towel or double up on the sheets to protect the mattress.

I use these too for my older daughter, she still wets the bed at night. They have a sticky side on the bottom so it doesn't move around and they are a pretty good size, they would cover most of the playpen bottom.

Another option might be to get those reusable pads that they use in hospitals to put under patients in the beds. I don't know where you'd get them, perhaps a medical supply store.
