For Bedwetting
Locate the bed you'll need to use the bed mat on. Although it can be almost any sized bed, Twin-sized is probably the size you'll use this product most often.
Fold back the covers so most of the area can be shown.
Research by having the wearer lay on the bed, to find out where the bed mat should be placed. Knowing this place can help save an approximate location for where the mat could best be used. Have an adult spot this approximate location.
Allow the wearer to come off of the bed, once the trained eye keeps this place in mind.
Take out a fresh bed mat from the package of 6 you must have bought at some store.
Open up the bed mat, and turn it over so the back containing the 4 white edge pieces faces upwards. These pieces have the words "Peel from Corner" written on them (along with this wording in various other languages).
Locate the top edge of one of the sides white pieces.
Pull backwards on the edge piece firmly until the edge piece has been removed. However, be careful so that the pieces of the paper backing don't stick to it at the edges, nor so that the sticky substance doesn't fold in/around on itself(both issues can cause major problems with the product later). Don't undo the others just yet!
Stick this corner piece to the bed in a place just above where the wearer tends to be situated at.
Fold over the other side located directly parallel to it. Always try to fold over the top stick taped areas first, so work on those.
Pull backwards on this edge piece, as you did with the one side.
Roll your hand squarely over from the one side you initially added to the newest side.
Repeat these last few steps with the bottom 2 corners. You can choose to either adjust the bottom left or bottom right first.
Discard the bed mat after every nighttime accident or every few(2-3) days, whichever comes first. Health hazards from leaving a clean one on the bed abound in the open air, where hidden contaminants may cause the user to become ill themselves.
For Finger-Painting
Take out the product from the packaging.
Locate the area to which the child will be using the paint. Some signals include the paper and/or paints themselves (if they have been prepositioned beforehand).
Open the bed mat.
Use the method as described in "For Bedwetting" for how to lay it down. Make sure the top two tabs are in approximately the same place, as to take up the area covered by the paints and a portion of the paper. Don't worry if the area underneath the table doesn't have an area that is suitable to the product sticking to it (for the bottom two tabs). If the product hangs down, just be careful. It's sometimes useful if the product hangs (as to give you more surface area to work with for spills, as if the paint drips, it first has to run more onto the mat before it runs onto the clothing underneath).Use a GoodNites Bed Mat Step 18Bullet1.jpg Think about positioning the mat in landscape position, so that the tabbed areas are to the left and right of the drawing area if the child has a small perspective of their working area (school-age children may enjoy this convenience).Use a GoodNites Bed Mat Step 18Bullet2.jpg
Discard the product after every painting project that has gotten paint outside the boundaries of the paper.
As a Diaper-Changing Pad
Use these, just like you would any other changing pads.
Eliminate the need to stick the tabs to the diaper-changing changing-surface. Use them without sticking the tabs to it. And, by doing this, you can use these mats for a few extra changes.
Dispose of the pad about once every week, unless it has become soiled in excess urine not soaked up by the diaper or from "the streams" from male babies in the meantime.
During Potty-Training
Find the chair the child would like to sit in. No, you can't anticipate a child to sit in the same seat for too long, but if they are super-interested in the activity, you can spend a bit less time wondering which area/chair is best to use the product on.
Fold the mat into thirds (or half, depending on the size of the child's rear end). Don't stick the tabs to anything, not even to themselves.
Give this product a bit of surface area to use. They should only be used as a "just-in-case"(preventative) measure.
Place this mat on the chair they'll be using.
Let your child's imagination run free, as they enjoy the activity while you shouldn't be worried that they'll soak through and onto the furniture's surface.
Realize that you will need a new mat every time the potty-trainer does have an "accident", but it's saved you a small bit of opportunity of having to wash the furniture's encasements.
For Diarrhea/Flu-Like Symptoms
Use the bed mats as you would have in the "During potty training". Just don't fold them into squares of 9 which have been folded into one.
Don't stick the tapes to the pieces of furniture you have in the house, that the user might need the extra protection on.
Keep them open and lay each mat flat, the white portion of the sheet facing towards the user.
Sit down on them as you would have, any other piece of furniture, that's now been packed with some extra protection.
Dispose of the mat, when it either has become dirty from "accidents" or from "throwing up". They should also be changed every 12 or so hours, as they tend to hold hidden illnesses you don't see (which may cause you to get sick again).
Use with Diagnosed Incontinent Adults
Use the same steps as those you used for the (for bedwetting) section above. Instead, double-up on the mats, sticking each one on top of each other.
Stick the bottom-most mat to the bed or surface for which the user is using the product.
Change the mat into a brand new mat after every 6-8 hours (and the wearer isn't planning to move to someplace else), or whenever the previous one is wet.
Let the mat go if the wearer isn't fully awake yet, but is planning to get up within a reasonable amount of time.
