Staying at a motel

[LilZebra]

Hi,

I'm currently staying at a motel because I had to move out of a house for rent recently.

I'm surprised that my room does not have a bed bug cover on the mattress.

 This past Monday I bought some disposables and am storing them in my room. I don't want to ruin their mattress if my diaper accidentally leaks in some way.

So I am asking here, what should I do in this situation? Should I tell the motel manager(s) who are basically not good at understanding English if they have a PVC cover, or am I supposed to purchase one myself from Wal*Mart?

What I had at my last home was a zippered bed bug cover and then a zippered PVC sheet on top of that.

I'm there till early Aug. or until I find a place.

Sounds like a pretty shady place, I'd go purchase my own cover.

I they can't be bothered to protect their beds I wouldn't worry to much. You an always put a cheap cover on the bed.

Chux (underpads) work fine if you don't move around over the bed real estate.

buy your own, or a shower curtain

From my experience Motel staff just don't seem to care if someone wets the bed. I've stayed in a couple of motel's in the U.S. where the beds had obviously been wet and the mattress just flipped and left to dry out on their own.
