rubber sheets

Elastic waterproof covers

Rubber sheets are large pieces of rubber used as waterproof barriers.

In medical and childcare contexts, they protect mattresses from urine and other fluids: We put a rubber sheet under the fitted sheet while he was potty training.

Rubber sheets also appear in industrial settings and, with mild suggestiveness, in contexts involving messy or fetishistic sex.
