Abstract: A holder for an absorbent pad used to protect seat cushions or the like from body fluids. The holder includes a cover having a length sufficient to wrap around the cushion, and a panel sewn to the inner surface of the cover to provide a pocket for receiving an absorbent pad. The panel and pocket are positioned so that the pad substantially overlies the sitting portion of the cushion and extends downwardly along the front portion of the cushion. The ends of the cover are removably fastened to one another to prevent movement or displacement of the pad.
