Abstract: A pad adapted for use with an electrically actuated signal where the pad acts as a sensor to detect involuntary emission of urine. It is designed to be worn adjacent to the body of the user. It includes a central layer of closed cell foam sandwiched between two outer layers, each fabricated from a sheet having an electrically conductive surface. At least one of the outer layers and the foam layer have discrete apertures formed through them in registry with one another to receive and collect discharged urine. The urine bridges the gap between the conductive surfaces and thereby completes a signal circuit.
