Simple Solution training pads are designed for fast absorption and built-in odor neutralizers tailored to disposable refill pad use, positioning them as a dependable mid‑tier choice for trainers. Compared with budget options like AmazonBasics and Four Paws, Simple Solution leans on stronger odor-control formulations and targeted training features, trading a modest price premium for fewer pad changes and lower odor-management costs over time.

AmazonBasics earns its spot by delivering dependable, size-specific pads at a consistently low per-pad price, making it best-in-class for budget-conscious buyers who need predictable sizing across small to extra-large options. Compared with more feature-focused pads in this list, it forgoes premium odor-control layers for affordability and broad SKU availability, so it’s ideal when cost and standardized sizes matter more than specialty technologies.
