Don't be sorry - it's okay to worry. I'd say it was just ordinary carpet like you would find in many rental flats, hotels or offices. Soft velours with a textile back. It was definitely absorbing well enough so that the spots didn't grow any larger than say about 1 sq.ft. or about 20-30cm by 30-40cm.

Nope - whatever is on the bed at the moment

She'd just squat on a dry patch of carpet and let go leaving a wet spot for a day or so. She'd always try to remember where she peed last so that it could dry off completely. So there would be a kind of pattern around the rooms for her so that every spot was used from time to time but never the same spot twice in a row. Morning pee makes almost no difference once it is dried completely. It just leaves a little stain opposed to 'normal' pee not leaving any stain at all (on light grey or cream-colored carpets).

Definitely unprotected or at least not waterproof - I hate it to lay down in a puddle. On my mattress I use an absorbant cotton sheet in between the mattress and mattress-cover. So I can easily wash both if we had a little wet fun in bed. The mattress itself always gets a little damp but is not soaked through by a single bladder full of my girlfriend's pee. Even two times between the evening and morning is okay and you can put the washed and dried sheets on again the same evening.

That depended on her mood (and in the first months if my flatmate was around or at work). My estimate is that she'd used the toilet about 2/3 the time and the last third she did on carpets in the living room and bedroom or in bed. Usually she'd squat on the bedroom carpet at night or early in the morning. Throughout the day the toilet was more convenient but in the evenings whilst watching TV or a movie it usually ended on the living room carpet.

Interestingly you can get away with peeing on the carpet for quite a while if you always let it dry complete before rewetting. My ex-wife started peeing on the bedroom carpet out of convenience whilst I had a flatmate in the other room of my flat and didn't stop after he moved out and we got the flat for ourselves. She would also just pee on the living room carpet while watching a movie - why bother to stop it and go to the bathroom?! Only if she forgot where a wet patch was and used it too soon it would leave a slight odour for a day or two. In winter she would als
