For the bed I am happy with the incontinence pad that is 20x33 inches for $12.99 and the reusable waterproof bed pad for $24.99. I have 2 of the smaller pads on top of the bigger one. Sometimes like today he wet through both layers. I try to get him up every 4-6 hrs, cut down on fluids after 4 PM. I am still working on diapers but even for a man the poise pads that hold the maximum urine works pretty good. Still have an over flow problem and use the clear vinyl underwear and the sani-pant also. Have plenty of gloves. I give him metamucil daily so I do not have the constipation problem and it does not give diarrhea, also have 1/4 of a fiber bar in AM. It is trial and error. I have the 20x33 in pad with me for Dr visits, and on the couches along with a lg towel. Bleach is my friend right now. He had stool (once) and urine dribbling on carpet which is not that old so put vinyl runners where he is mostly to prevent any more messes. Be creative. God Bless

The blue/ white pads are supposed to be waterproof. You can also try getting some'chux' pads to put underneath for extra protection. I purchased my own carpet upholstery cleaner, they are not too expensive and very easy to use. Woo lite makes a pet stain cleaning product that may be helpful. She might need more than a pad, maybe a depends. They also make extra liners you can place into the depends. Another product, fit rite , has a medicated liner to keep skin healthy. Also I would recommend you look into ' validation therapy' for Alzheimer's and dementia. It may ease anxiety and frustration for your mom making it easier to manage her care and behavior.

{Q} extra liners you can place into the depends

It took getting multiple free samples until we got the right size and ones with best absorbancy. Some were menstrual pads and a waste of time. Charm Medical from Pembroke, MA worked with me until we finally found one's that hold a load of urine.

I bought a nice waterproof chair pad on Amazon that fits the recliner perfectly and is discreet. The color matches the chair so it's not obvious what it's for. I've found those hospital type pads don't work after they've been washed a lot. The urine soaks right through them.
