Tips for using disposable underpad 

Scissors can be used to cut the product's packaging open from the bottom side. As you remove the pad from the packaging, you will have a better grip on it. Begin cutting into the bottom edge of the bag until you feel tight with the scissor without breaking it. 

The product packaging can be opened by pulling the bottom and sides apart and opening each separately (without opening the entire sides or top).

The underpad should be removed from the product's packaging and flat on the surface you intend to use. Please take out a disposable diaper from the package with your open fist, much like taking it out of the package with a disposable diaper. 

If you pick up more than one pad, keep your palm open but curve your fingers. There is a good chance that the plastic side of the pad will be facing up when you lay it down without unfolding it. 

This pad works best if you are looking at it with its white (non-plastic-like) surface showing, as opposed to the colored or plastic-like surface (absorption surface). Take each pad one by one. 

You may figure out that you only need one diaper by opening the package from the bottom (and if you know how to remove diapers from containers, this feeling is quite natural). Still, if you need a double amount of absorption or think one pad is insufficient, you may need to add another.

Open the pad and unfold it. Throw the product away from yourself by grasping the edge and throwing it outward. There may be enough pressure to cause an air burst, allowing the quarters to separate.

The white side of the pad should be facing up when you place it on the surface. Using these pads can help prevent moisture from seeping through and onto the surface (which is what you are trying to avoid by using these pads? )

On both sides of the product, choose the side that has a smooth, non-glossy (non-plastic-like) surface. Those who lie on the non-plastic side must do so on that side. Through this side, the liquid will absorb but won't be absorbed through the plastic.
