I first bought these when I had my son 4 years ago, yes I hated the thought of putting my precious bundle down on any unsterile surface, I was simply not prepared to risk it! I have since had a baby girl aswell and still use them as I found they are not just for the paranoid mother who thinks that everything is unclean but they are in fact very useful pieces of kit.
The obvious use for these is when you go to use baby changing facilities (many of which do not look very clean!) you simply lay one out on the existing mat and you can be sure that your baby is laid on something clean and also that your baby wont dirty the mat for the next baby who uses it!
I also think they are great for when you are visiting people as i'm sure they dont want baby mess on their floor/sofa/units etc.
When my children were first born I used to let them have a 'kick' without their nappies on and inevitibly after a while they would wet! To start with I used to put them on a towel but the wet would still go through on to the carpet, so I began to use the pampers change mats and they were fantastic - they really saved my carpet!
They basically have a plastic type layer on the bottom which is lilac and has printed teddies on, the top layer is quilted in a diamond pattern - this is what absorbs the wet and the plastic layer is what stops it going through to anything underneath the mat.
Other uses for them include - protecting fabrics after giving birth(dont need to go into too much detail there!), protecting fabrics for the elderly and I have used them when I ran out of bed mats to protect the mattress. I'm sure there are many more aswell!
I would recommend these as they have a variety of uses and can fold up small so are easy to carry around.
