We recommend a heavy-duty warm cycle with recommended commercially available detergent. Line dry when you can, but if you must, tumble dry low! Avoid any fabric softeners or dryer sheets to protect your mat’s absorbency.
Each Lifesaver Mat is made of 3 layers: waterproof PUL, absorbent microfibre, and a top layer of stay dry charcoal. Get all the details here.
This is the mat with a thousand uses. Waterproof PUL on one side, absorbent, soft, stay dry and stain resistant charcoal on the other, we are so proud of this product. Originally designed to help with potty training, our customers use our Lifesavers around their homes in so many ways: change mat, picnic blanket, beach towel, couch protector, sensory play mat, intimacy bed blanket, etc. Find out more here.
  • Lifesaver Mini: 18’’ x 22’’ (45.72 cm x 55.88 cm)

  • Lifesaver XXL: 57” x 80” (144.78 cm x 203 cm)
That’s a great question! Unfortunately it is a little tricky to answer. If you evenly and steadily distributed water across the entire mat, we could probably give you an amount, but that’s not really how most humans leak and therefore not how the mats get used. We do have this handy video to show you how our Lifesaver Mats absorb. This should give you an idea of how it works and if it will be a good fit for the mess you have in mind!

Quality!!

I have always wanted one of these mats and I ordered two with the bundle deal and ohhhh my goodness they are such great quality and the print is just beautiful!!! I also ordered a sample cloth diaper and I love the God Forbid refund policy, as I had worry/anxiety with my pregnancy but wanted to be prepared. Thankfully I now have a beautiful baby girl and I love changing her on these mats! One for the bedroom and one for the living room has saved us many times already. I’m looking forward to using it when my period returns as well since I have constant worry about leaking and other waterproof mats are hot and noisy. These are comfy and can be used for so many different purposes.

Hey there, Brittany! Many thanks for your 5 star review of your Lifesaver Original Waterproof Mat! We are thrilled that it is 'wow-ing' you right from the start! The quality, absorbency, and beauty is truly unmatched. Thank you also for giving our Tank Cloth Diaper trial a shot!! The Lifesaver is definitely great for diaper changes and as your little one grows, it can be used for SO many things (such as sensory play, picnics, sporting events, surface protectors during sickness/stomach bugs, the list goes on and on!). We hope that your Lifesavers continue to serve you well and that you have a wonderful week! Thank you again for choosing Lil Helper! - Amanda @ Lil Helper

So excited!

I ordered the lifesaver xl as a prrsent for my husband. It finally arrived today after its tour of The Netherlands (so annoyed that we all have to do stuff like this) and I LOVE it. The Oh Canada red is lovely and it’s soft and quiet and BIG! And I have plans for using it in so many places, what with an ancient cat, two teens, and two middle aged folk…I’m probably gonna need more.

Hey Allison!! Thank you deeply for taking the time to leave a 5 star review of your Lifesaver XL Waterproof Mat! We appreciate your patience in waiting for your Lifesaver to arrive to you as well. We're excited for you for all of the possibilities that your Lifesaver holds for your family!

Keep Your Bed Pristine

There are times in a woman's life when keeping the bed from being stained is so hard. The Lifesaver Waterproof Mat Original does a wonderful job of preventing anything from coming in contact with the sheet or mattress. No more scrubbing sheets or surprise stains in the mattress. The absorbent side is soft to sleep on, and the waterproof size does not slip around too much while sleeping.

It's the perfect gift for a girl who is just starting her period.

Hi there, Mary-Anne!! Thank you so very much for taking the time to leave a 5 star review of your Lifesaver Original Mat. We are over the moon knowing that it has been a game changer to you in keeping your bed stain free! Less laundry means more time to enjoy all the 'lil' things in life! We hope that it continues to serve you well. Thank you for being a loyal customer, we appreciate you! - Amanda @ Lil Helper

Just the right size for smaller jobs

The Lifesaver Waterproof Mat Mini is just perfect for smaller things that you want to make sure stay dry. I use it to keep my bed from getting wet from my water bottle or an ice pack. I also use it if I am going to eat something in bed to keep my bed clean. There are lots of uses and the fact that you can put it in the washing machine is awesome!

Hey Mary-Anne!! Thank you kindly for your 5 star review of your Lifesaver Mini Mat! We love hearing how folks use these mighty little mats in their daily routines; using it to keep dry from the condensation of a water bottle or clean from crumbs in bed are two great ideas! If you're ever looking for more ideas, definitely check out our FB group 'Lil Helper Lounge' where our customers share their favorite uses for our products. My personal favorite for the mini mat is using it on top of a pillow when going to bed with wet hair! We hope that you have a wonderful week! - Amanda @ Lil Helper
