Abstract: An underpad for use in a hospital-like setting is disclosed herein. In these situations it is desirable to minimize moisture or fluid penetration from one side of the pad to the other side, as for example, in situations where a patient may be incontinent. The pad can be repeatably washed and dried and includes at least two layers of materials secured to each other. One layer is a facing or fabric ply and the other layer comprises a moisture-resistant neoprene ply which resists degradation after repeated institutional washings and drying at temperatures on the order of 225.degree.
