I was entranced by the optics immediately and also how good the padding. I then upped the ante just a towel lengthwise yet. But did a little one the first time I had to pee on it unfortunately find that not only the towel was wet, but the pee was absorbed by the changing mat :( Since I use disposable changing pads it Fallls it again happens! Should I find that a changing mat definitely be water or it should at least know when buying, drum only 4 stars. I would have given only 3 stars if the price had not been so attractive!
