Being a mom is not the most glamorous job in the world. Actually, it’s not even close. If it were up to me I would be spending a good 80% of the day in my favorite pajamas, hair in a messy bun, and not an ounce of makeup on. Realistically, this never happens. As moms we are busy. We are needed. We are demanded! We don’t always have the time or the energy to walk out of the house looking like movie stars. Five out of seven days of the week I wake up at the butt crack of dawn. This is when I begin my daily mommy duties that were left dormant in the short 5 hours of sleep I managed to get. The last thing I want to do is straighten my hair and draw on intricate winged eye liner.

As our children grow there are many milestones that we face along the way. One of them being potty training! It may not be the easiest to get through but it sure is one of the most exciting to accomplish. Being the parent of a toddler, I can tell you from experience that potty training is no cake walk. Toodie has been doing such a terrific job using the potty and has even made it through several nights completely dry. But with every stride comes a few accidents along the way. There is nothing worse than having to get up in the middle of the night to change sheets and realize you don’t have a clean set available. Since we do not have an endless supply of fitted toddler sheets in the closet, the GoodNites Disposable Bed Mats are a lifesaver when accidents strike while nighttime training.

As one of my favorite retailers, Walmart.com makes shopping for GoodNites Disposable Bed Mats painless and saves me a trip to the store. While there is a Walmart location only a few miles away from my home, I prefer online shopping because it’s more convenient. Shipping is always speedy and I have the option to pick up the items in store if I choose too. I was able to get the bedmats and a few bedtime story books delivered to my door without even leaving the comfort of my home. With Christmas only a month away, I will be taking full advantage of their free shipping on $45 or more this year!

The GoodNites Disposable Bed Mats by Huggies are super absorbent and contain a leakage barrier within. They are soft to the touch which makes them comfortable to sleep on. You can’t even tell they are on the bed because there isn’t any rustling or sounds of paper crinkling. The adhesive strips on the bottom of each mat keep it in place throughout the night and do not leave a sticky residue on the sheets below. I was very impressed with how well these things stick on and how clean they peeled off after use.

The mats fit comfortably on a toddler bed and were much longer than I expected. I was able to cover the whole area that Toodie sleeps on while also tucking the extra material into the sides. This made it feel more secure and prevented the edges from pulling up while she rolled around at night. Just like her mommy, she isn’t a very still sleeper. But for once that isn’t a problem because of how durable the GoodNites have proven to be.

With our long awaited Disney World trip coming up within the next few weeks, I am hoping that the excitement will not interfere with our potty training success so far. I am hopeful that the change in scenery and being away from home won’t have any affect on the process she has made. Just in case, I will be packing the Goodnites Bed Mats to have on hand during our hotel stay. Since they are light and folded I will have no problem fitting a few of them in my suitcase. If an accident happens, no big deal. With the mats being disposable I can quickly toss it into the trash and not worry about calling room service to replace the linens. If your family has used the mats at home or traveling I would love to know about your experience!
