Washable vs Disposable Pee Pads: How to Decide

Disposable pee pads are thrown away after use. Washable pee pads go in the washing machine and come back to the floor. Both kinds are in the Pet Potty Shop. The choice usually comes down to pad size, how many pads get used in a week, and whether laundry or trash is easier to live with.

Every size, count and care step below is quoted from a product page in the store and can be checked there before ordering.

Prices were read from the store on October 23, 2026 and can change; the product page shows the current price.

How disposable pads are sold

Disposable pads are counted per pack. Counts in this guide run from 40 pads for the 36 x 47 in size to 100 per pack, and some size options go higher, such as 150 per pack for the 22 x 22 in pad.

Several listings print a layer count. The 22 x 22 in pad says its 6-layer build holds up to 7 cups of liquid, and its core turns moisture into gel. The 34 x 28 in pad lists 6 layers with a plastic backing.

How washable pads are sold

Washable pads are sold by the pack of 1, 2 or 4. The fabric layers are listed instead of a count: the 18 x 24 in pack has a polyester surface, a cotton middle layer and a PUL waterproof layer.

Care steps differ between listings, so read them before the first wash. One listing allows tumble drying on low heat and rules out fabric softener and bleach. Another says the pads can be washed with regular clothing.

Size is often the deciding fact

The disposable pads here go up to 36 x 47 in, plus a 36 x 55 in size option on the same listing.

A simple way to decide

  • Disposable suits a home that would rather throw each pad away and keep a stock of 100-count packs.
  • Washable suits a home that would rather run a wash cycle, needs a sheet as large as 72 x 72 in, or wants a pad with ties for a crate.
  • Either way, put the pad in a silicone holder tray if it tends to slide or bunch.

For pads compared line by line, see the washable packs side by side and the 100-pad disposable packs side by side. The older guide on choosing puppy training pads for rugs and floors covers placement. More washable and disposable pads are in the Pet Potty Supplies collection.
