One in 50 teenagers still wet the bed and almost half of 19 year-olds who have the problem are wetting the bed every night, according to research published in the May issue of the urology journal BJUI International.
Professor Chung K Yeung from the Chinese University of Hong Kong teamed up with colleagues from the Prince of Wales Hospital to analyse the results of more than 16,500 questionnaires surveying children aged from five to 19.
He hopes that his findings will reassure parents of children with mild bed wetting problems, but stress the importance of seeking advice in severe cases, which can often be caused by underlying medical problems and continue into adulthood.
512 children – just over three per cent of those surveyed – reported night-time bedwetting and one in five of those also had daytime incontinence. 302 were boys and 210 were girls.
The researchers found that although bed wetting was less common as children got older, the percentage reporting severe problems increased with age.
Children and adolescents who wet the bed at night also showed a similar pattern when it came to daytime incontinence, with a higher percentage of problems reported in older age groups.
When the researchers looked in detail at the 512 children with bed wetting problems they found that:
* Mild bed wetting was much worse among younger children, with 58 per cent of five to ten year-olds and 18 per cent of 11-19 year-olds wetting the bed less than three times a week.
* But older children reported a higher level of severe problems, with 82 per cent of 11-19 year-olds wetting the bed more than three times a week, compared with 42 per cent of five to ten year-olds.
* Just over 16 per cent of five year-olds wet the bed, with boys (21 per cent) having almost twice as many problems as girls (11 per cent).
* By the age of 19, three per cent of boys and two per cent of girls were still wetting the bed.
* Just under a third of 11-19 year-old boys (32 per cent) also experienced daytime incontinence, almost double the 15 per cent recorded in the under ten age group.
* The figures for girls were lower but showed a similar trend, at 25.5 per cent for 11-19 year-olds and 12 per cent for girls under ten.
* Overall, 29 per cent of children aged 11-19 experienced daytime incontinence, compared with 14 cent of under tens.
“Bed wetting showed a general reduction as children got older” says Professor Yeung, who is also President of the International Children’s Continence Society. “However, this reduction was much greater in those with mild symptoms who wet the bed three or less times a week, compared to those with severe problems who were wetting the bed every night.
“Just over 14 per cent of five year-olds who wet the bed did so seven nights a week. By the age of 19, severe bed wetting accounted for over 48 per cent of teenagers who were still wetting the bed.”
21,000 questionnaires were distributed to 67 schools, with a greater emphasis on children over ten, and just under 79 per cent were returned by parents and children.
The average age of respondents was just under 14 and the largest number of responses were from teenagers aged 16-18. 24 per cent of the questionnaires concerned children under ten.
“Our findings challenge the myth that bedwetting will always get better and disappear as the child gets older” says Professor Yeung.
“In 2004 we published findings of a previous study in BJU International that showed that adults showed no significant decrease in bed wetting problems from the age of 10 to 40.
“These latest findings underline the importance of seeking help for children with severe bed wetting problems, especially if they continue into adolescence. If these individuals are left untreated, the evidence suggests that they will continue to experience ongoing problems when they become adults.”

I was a bedwetter til 9 years old and had daytime wetting too. My mother sent out to play in cloth diapers band a T shirt diapered nightly I cloth disapers and baby pants. That was then, now I am in my 70’s and have been night diapers for more than 30 years. Wish I had a Mommy to change many diapers and baby pants now..
Yes i agree also that Gordon is a pig! I am 15 and a bedwetter also and i have to wear a size 8 pampers cruiser diaper with rubberpants over it to bed every night! Mom buys the pampers and adult size rubberpants for me and puts them on me every night at bedtime just like as if i were a baby! This past easter sunday,after i took a shower,mom came into my room and took out a pampers and a pair of my pink rubberpants and told me i have to wear them under my easter dress! I protested,but she laid the pampers and rubberpants and baby powder on my bed and ordered me to lay down,She fastened the pampers on me them put the rubberpants on over it,then i put my top on and my easter dress,etc.I was so embarrassed all day long being around our relatives!
Yes i too agree that Gordon is a pig! I am a girl,16,and a bedwetter and have to wear the cloth diapers and rubberpants to bed every night! It is no fun having them put on me by mom before bedtime and feeling like a baby with them on! They are just one more hassle a teen girl has to deal with besides her periods,friends,boys,etc.My close friends accept the fact that i have to wear them and dont say anything when they sleep over.
I am 16 and a girl and also a bedwetter.My parents require me to wear cloth diapers and plastic pants to bed every night.My boyfriend,Brandon,is 16 also and know about my ‘problem’ and that i wear the cloth diapers and plastic pants to bed.He has seen me a few times when he has been at my house with my diapers and plastic pants on and thinks i look cute and like a baby.I know that when ever he sees me in my diapers and plastic pants he gets very aroused and horny which i feel is typical of a guy.My parents frequently go out of town on the weekends and i either stay alone or have a close come over and stay with me.Last february,my parents went out of town for the weekend and on saturday Brandon came over to spend the day with me.Since it was winter and very cold out side,i was wearing my footed blanket sleepers to bed at night.That afternoon,he asked me if i would put on my diapers and a pair of my adult size plastic pants with babyprints on them and one of my blanket sleepers.I gave in and went to my room,got naked and pinned on my diapers,then put a pair of my print plastic pants on over them,then my pink blanket sleeper.Since my plastic pants are all adult size,they fit me blousy over my diapers and crinkle when i walk.I came out of my room and Brandons eyes lit up and he had a big smile on his face!I stood there in front of him and he reached into his pocket and took out a pink pacifier on a pink ribbon and hung it around my neck and then put it into my mouth! I was surprised that he would do something like that,and he told me that i looked like a real baby now.He was very aroused and unzipped the front of my sleeper and pulled it off of me and i stood there in my diapers and print plastic pants with the pacifier in my mouth!He quickly undid his pants,pulled them down and his penis was very hard! He pushed me to my knees,took the pacifier out of my mouth and thrust his hard on into my mouth and told me to suck him!
Parents do the right thing by having their bedwetting teen daughters wear cloth diapers and plastic pants! They are more comfortable and easier on girls skin many parents fell and parents also like to know that their daughters are like babies wearing the diapers and plastic pants.
To Gordon-You are a pig! I ama girl 16 and a bedwetter and i have to wear cloth diapers and plastic pants to bed every night and i dont like them!My parents make me wear them to save money and protect the landfill from disposable diapers.Believe me,it is no fun having them put on me before bedtime and hearing the plastic pants crinkling under my nightgown!
To hallie n-Yes i agree with you ,gordon is a pig! I am 16 and have to wear cloth diapers and “rubberpants” to bed everynight for my bedwetting and i dont like them either! My rubberpants are adult size and crinkle also! Because i have to wear the diapers and rubberpants,mom and dad got me some rubberpants with babyprints on them that i dont like!
Yes i agree also that Gordon is a pig! I am 15 and a bedwetter also and i have to wear a size 8 pampers cruiser diaper with rubberpants over it to bed every night! Mom buys the pampers and adult size rubberpants for me and puts them on me every night at bedtime just like as if i were a baby! This past easter sunday,after i took a shower,mom came into my room and took out a pampers and a pair of my pink rubberpants and told me i have to wear them under my easter dress!

I’m sorry for all of you, but you must be strong and don’t worry, this problem will sort it self out in time and if you are left Incontinent for the rest of you’re lives don’t let you’re nappies and plastic pants hold you back, as you’re not alone okay god bless you all.

I am a girl,16 and a bedwetter,and my parents make me wear cloth pin-on baby diapers and ‘rubberpants'[plasticpants] to bed every night and i feel like a baby wearing them!They have told me that ‘cloth diapers and rubberpants’ are appropriate for girls my age and that they feel better knowing i am like a baby at night.What can i do?
I am a girl 15,and wetting the bed and having a few daytime accidents due to some emotional problems.My parents are making me wear cloth pin on diapers and adult size plastic pants to bed every night and the plastic pants over my panties during the daytime! I dont like wearing the diapers and plastic pants to bed as i feel like a baby when i have them on! My parents wont buy me goodnites or anything else.I am stuck! any one got any advice?
To Britta F-i AM 17 and a bedwetter and i am in the same boat as you! I have to wear the cloth diapers and ‘rubberpants’ to bed every night as my parents wont buy me anything else also! Whats even worse is that mom puts the diapers and rubberpants on me at bedtime and i am fully capable of doing it myself!
To Maddie-I am 15 and a bedwetter also and my parents make me wear cloth diapers and rubberpants to bed also every night also! Mom puts them on me at bedtime just like a baby and i hate it! The worst part is,most of my rubberpants have baby prints on them and that makes it even worse! They fit me blousy and crinkle when i walk and its quite embarrassing! I keep hoping and praying my bedwetting will end soon!
Help! I am 16 also and a bedwetter and wear the cloth diapers and adult size plastic pants to bed every night.they were my parents choice for me.My problem is,I am being confirmed on May 19th and per the parish dress code,have to wear a white,puffy,short sleeve,floor length dress and matching veil with white tights and the white mary jane style shoes.Mom told me that i am going to wear my bedwetting diapers and plastic pants under the tights for the day! I told her no,that i dont need them during the day,but her and dad are adamant and said i have to! Anyone got any advice?
Our daughter is 15 and will be recieving her sacrement of baptism at easter vigil this comming easter.At our parish,all of the girls up to age 17 are baptized as babies for easter vigil,so the daughter is going to wear the traditional,white,knee length,high waist gown with a matching bonnet,lace anklets and white booties.the parish does not allow disposable diapers under the outfits so all the girls wear the cloth diaper and rubberpants and tee shirt under their gowns or dresses.Her gown and bonnet is being made for her now and i all ready have her lace socks,booties,cloth diaper,rubberpants and tee shirt.All of the girls baptized as babies at easter will make their First communions a month later in may and all have to wear their baptism diaper,rubberpants and tee shirt under their communion dresses.
To JoyLynn-I too was a flowergirl in my sisters wedding two years ago when i was 14 and 45 minutes before the ceremony,i was taken to the bridal dressing room and had a size 7 pampers diaper put on me with toddler size rubberpants over it that i had to wear for the entire time.My flower girl dress was above my knees and poofy and i felt like a toddler walking down the aisle!
Hi,i am 15 and catholic and finially made my First Holy Communion back in september in the 12 to 17 year old class.All of us girls had to wear a poofy communion dress and veil with white tights and white ‘mary jane’ shoes.My parents required me to wear cloth diapers and rubberpants under the tights and put them on me when i was dressed.The diapers were regular baby diapers in the 24×27 inch size and were pinned on me with pink,teddy bear head diaper pins and the rubberpants were adult size and bunched up under my tights! The only thing that saved me that day was i talked to some of the other girls in my class and found out some of them also had the cloth diapers and rubberpants also under their tights!
We have a newly adopted 14 year old daughter and we have her in cloth diapers and plastic pants 24/7 for her adjustment period.she has wetting accidents during the daytime and wets the bed at night.She uses a pacifier also to relax her and sometimes exhibits infant like behavior.We just baptized and christened her as an infant 2 weeks ago and dressed her in a cute white,infant style gown with a matching bonnet,lace anklets and white satin booties.She had ruffled plastic pants over her diaper and had her pacifier in her mouth during the ceremony! She was so cute and baby like for the ceremony!
Ok, I’m Kirby and I’m 14, I haven’t wet the bed for five years until last night. I don’t know why, but I’ve never had the urge to do that while I was asleep. Thing is, I stayed at my grandparents house. Ive almost wet the bed two night before tonight. I used to wet the bed every other night when I was a kid, and now this is scaring me. Once I do it once, I can’t stop for weeks. Help?

I’m sorry you all are experiencing this horrible problem. My 19 yr old son still wets the bed. Since he now works We are going to purchase the bedwetting alarm in hopes that this will retrain his brain to wake up at night when he starts wetting. we both have our fingers crossed that this will work. As his parent I know this has been very embarrassing for him, I bought him goodnights up until 16 when they no longer fit, I started buying him the “small” of the adult diapers. they are not plastic and they look like underwear. He still puts on his own underwear over them for more support and no leaks.

To Kaitlyn-I was in the same boat as you were.I started wetting the bed at the onset of puberty just past my 12th birthday and my parents also put me into the cloth diapers and rubberpants at bedtime.When i was 13.i was the flowergirl in my Aunts wedding and mom put the diapers and rubberpants on me under my poofy flowergirl dress! Then when i was 14 and in 8th grade,i was confirmed,and my church required us girls to wear a white,poofy,knee length dress and veil with the lace socks and white shoes.Mom bought me a new larger pair of white rubberpants and put the diapers on me with the new rubberpants over them and they fit me baggy and crinkled under my dress! I was somewhat embarrassed walking down the aisle with my classmates and the rubberpants crinkling under my dress!
i am a 16 year old girl and a bedwetter and i have to wear a thick cloth diaper and rubberpants[plastic pants] to bed every night.my diaper is pinned on me with diaper pins.my parents told me that cloth diapers and rubberpants are more appropriate for girls than boys and they wont buy me disposables.i know of three other girls my age in this same situation.why do parents feel this way?

umm….do you guys have the same dream.You know you are wetting,but a beach scene :))
Just one of those things :) Every now and then I ‘wet’ :) I am a guy and it is sort of embassing
I wet the bed,you are not alone :) i am a guy.It is o.k. just one of things :)
I still wake up ‘wet’.I don’t like it,but you are not alone :)
You are not alone :) I wet every now and then.
Being a mom of bedwetters, I have some thoughts on night diapers and protection that might be of help to you. First we use cloth diapers and plastic pants because using disposables would be cost prohibative with 3 bedwetters. As the child gets older and becomes uncomfortable with parents putting the diapers on you can do a couple of things. 1st have the child position themselves on the diaper and pull it between the legs and then call you and you can go into the room and pin the diapers. 2nd you can fold the diapers together and leave them on the bed, the child can place the diapers inside of their underwear, pull the plastic pants on over and put on their pj’s or nightgown. They can then show you that the plastic pants are completely covering the diapers. Our oldest 2 do this, Our youngest does this most of the time except when she is to tired and then she wants me to do it all. In the warm weather all 3 sleep in just their diapers and plastic pants. It’s up to the parents to set the mood for how bedwetting is to be handled, but no matter how it is handled everyone should be comfortble.
Hi,i am 16 and a bedwetter for the past two years.my bedwetting is due to weakend bladder muscles from depression i seffered two years ago from the loss of my dad due to a heart attack.I am not afraid to admit that i wear a thick cloth diaper and plastic pants[aka rubberpants] to bed every night.they work for me and keep my bed dry.i tried the disposables and they leaked and gave me rashes.Some people think wearing a cloth diaper and rubberpants for bedwetting is to baby like,but if you accept them as what works for you and they keep your bed dry,then they are ok to wear.i dont feel like a baby wearing them,its what i have to do to manage the bedwetting.
I continue to keep wetting my bed I am a 22 year old female im not sure how much longer i can take this. I dont know how much longer i can take. Please if anyone has any advice please let me know.
i have ben wearing biapers for 22 years now from a car ax .i have no problems with people knowing i have to be diaperd 24/7 no ones ever sead a thing about being able to see that im diaperd i go about life .more people then you think are diaperd so please dont think your alone.i wel chat with anyone about this if you need someone to talt to about bedwetting or weaeing diapers
Thx Great Post, Thx

Hi Scienceblog,
Neat Post, Scientific name for night time bed wetting is nocturnal enuresis. It is normal for a baby to bed wet since it has not learnt to control its urges. But when a child above 5 years of age bed wets often, it is time for him to take treatment. 15% of children in the age group of 5 and 3% of teenager’s bed wet at night. The treatment taken for this problem is very effective and does not relapse in the future. Your child may be in the habit of wetting his or her bed, but your treatment will help him get rid of this embarrassing habit.
Keep up the good work
Ola! Scienceblog,
This might be off topic, however, Bed wetting happens for a variety of reasons from physical to psychological. While, doctors can help to find the cause and recommend a treatment, there is often a period of time when the bed wetting is going on without recourse.

I’m a 16 year old female and I still wet the bed most nights. I dont know what I would do without my two bestfriends, they arethe only people outside of my family who know. They understand that I can’t help it. When I first told them I was afraid that they wouldn’t want to be my friend anymore, but they didn’t even care. I have only ever had a sleepover with these two. Everybody needs a friend that they can talk to, and to trust. And I’m just lucky I have these ones :)
My name is Jane and I am 15. Evevery friday and saturday night I am on disco. Mostly I am getting so drunk, that I have to throw up, and I am wetting my pants and my bed several times. And the boys can do with me what they want to. I was 11 when I first time had sex with a man. He was 58, but I didn’t care. I wanted to do that. [email protected]
You were raped! Seek help
HELP! i am 15 and just started wetting the bed.my mom laid a bombshell on me that i am going to wear cloth diapers and plastic pants to bed every night for as long as i have the problem.i told her no way! that i will wear goodnites or pullups and she said they are too much money and she doesnt to have them in the trash and the the cloth diapers and plastic pants are washable and eco friendly.she then told me its either the cloth diapers and ‘rubberpants’ or nothing and that i have to change my own sheets and wake up in a smelly bed.i am beside my self and dont know what to do.i dread having to wear the cloth diapers and plastic pants,but dont want to have to change my sheets! any advice?
I am 38 (I am a mom myself) and I used to wet the bed even through my teenage years. i remember the embarrassment. my advice to you is:
since your mom does not seem to like the cleaning up afterwords, you will need to help with that so you don’t have to wear plastic pants. one solution is to buy a mattress pad that will protect the mattress, the sheets will still have to be laundered so that is were you come in and help. here is a link to a mattress pad that can do the job of protecting the mattress, its cheap, washer & dryer safe, got good reviews and hopefully will be a good solution for you. copy and paste this link in the address bar.

Good Luck…
Annalea,I do not know what you have been told,but having a problem such as this,it is hard for many others to not understand that it is not your fault.
Our society has always had a fear of discussing undergarments of any kind,and rubber/plastic pants the worst,yet they are the ones most used for all ages of people with anything from minor leakage problems to full day and night time wetting.
look on the bright side Annalea,you only need them at night,many must wear them 24/7.
As your mom pointed out,they are much more environmental than disposables and much easier to keep hidden.
I fyou have any questions or just someone to talk to,please feel free to contact me.

At night before sleeping take 1 walnut seeds and 5 gram of raisin daily…after one week the effect can be seen. Try this out.
daily take 1 dried date fruit before sleeping and have water. It will remove the problem of spoiling the bed. Fresh date fruit would not help but the “dried” one only.
Date fruit
Perichampazham in tamizh
chuara in hindi.
To stop frequent urination, there are so many ways, one natural way..
take 150 gram of jaggary, put little water into it keep the vessel on fire boil it, filt the water boil again make it little bit thicker, sticky and into it 100 gram of crushed black sesame seeds, mix it thoroughly and make small balls like small lemon sized, have it one in the morning and one in the evening. Children can take one ball in a day. It will reduce the problem of frequent urination.
For bed wetting, take daily at night before sleeping two black raisin dried. It would reduce the heat of the body. Continue taking this dried black raisin, remove the seeds inside. Best of luck.
i’m 17 and still bedwetting….the thought of it fils me with shame…..i hate that this happens to me i wish i could stop, i’m always very cautious about everything because of this its really very embarrasing….please i would like advice on how to stop
My best friend Ayden is 14 now. He’s wet the bed his whole life, once he was 8 his mom abused him horribly when he wet, once he was twelve and still wet she abused him worse and humiliated him. My family took him in and adopted him. I’ve comforted him whenever he has an accident(which is day and night) but he calls himself a baby and beats himself up whenever he wets the diapers my mother bought for him. Does anyone know what I can do to let him know we all love him and don’t care that he still wets?

Hey Jess!
Listen- I know you don’t want mom and dad to know of your bed wetting- but….They may be able to help you find out why you do it and get some medicine and alarm to wake you in the night to remind you to Go, or just let you know that all will be OK down the road. You are not the only one with this problem, some people have this their whole life. A suggestion I will mak is not to drink anything after 6:30 pm and to go try to pee before bed. Set an alarm clock to wake you 1-2 times during the night to go to the bathroom and at least try to pee. I think once you train your body and are not drinking alot before bed- it could help. Good Luck Hun! and PLEASE- talk to mom or dad about this. Ok? God Bless! :)
hi, im 17 and i still have problems with bed wetting. ive been trying to find out ways to stop, but nothing seems to work. i wetted the bed jus last night, and i could feel but shame for myself. i felt like its my fault for why it keeps happening. i get nightmares and thoughts of my laife being destroyed just from this problem alone. I WANT IT TO STOP!!!! i want to tell my mom or my doctor about it, but i dont know how they will respond to it( well my mom that is). i want some answers as to why im still bedwetting, and if there is any help that i can get i would love to know. besides i dont want to grow up with this problem, i want to enjoy and like my life without the stress or worries that this problem will re occur. i think part of the reason is because i dream that im in the bathroom or something. is my mind the reason why i wet the bed? or is it simply because i have bladder issues?
hi, i just started wetting the bed due to some emotional problems two weeks ago and i am wearing cloth diapers and plastic pants to bed every night.my parents told me thats what i had to wear.can anyone tell me how i can get over feeling like a baby with them on ot bedtime?
neurobion tablet is good for nerves. Dried fig fruit can be taken daily. soak 4 or 5 in water before sleeping and have it in the morning alongwith the water in which the figs are soaked. Soup of vegetables with pepper powder is good. pepper can remove the weakness of nerves. Pomegranate juice mixed with honey is also good. Food full of vitamin-B should be taken.

I’ve comforted him whenever he has an accident(which is day and night) but he calls himself a baby and beats himself up whenever he wets the diapers my mother bought for him. Does anyone know what I can do to let him know we all love him and don’t care that he still wets?
I’m 17 and I still wet the bed. It is an occasional problem though, but when it happens, I still get pissed. Sometimes I can go like 3 mo. w/o wetting the bed and then it might happen once every 2-3 weeks. I am a very deep sleeper and I have been realizing that I be having dreams of people taking a piss and that is when it usually happens. Luckily it doesn’t happen every night but it would be nice if there is a way I can make it stop on my own. My parents do not know I still wet the bed and I would like to keep it that way. I ALWAYS take a piss right before I go to bed, but no matter how dry I might be when I go to sleep, I can still have that problem, like this morning for example. I woke up, it was around 4:30 am to turn off my TV, I was dry then. I finally woke up around 7:50 and realized I was wet. I want to break this about, even though it is an occasional issue. I do not want to go off to college with this issue. Please if anyone has any suggestions, it would go a long way!
I experience the same thing you do. Im 16 Male, and i have the same issue, im a deep sleeper, and every month or so, i’ll Piss the bed. I just want to let you know your not the only one out there. Someday, someone will have the answer for people like us.;
i wet my bed i am 15 and i just don’t worry about it now i do have emotion brake down during school bout like once a week
In my view, There are several reasons that it happens with the children. first the marriage within the relatives that is found very specially in Sub Continent. Second these children or adults have less confidence than normal adults. they alwasy fear to do anything. they get maturity late mentally.
I think still we just can use bed wetting alarms that can be beneficial because still no discovery has been made regarding bed wetting specially.
Im going to be 21 years old. There are weeks where i wet the bed every night, and then there are a few days that i dont. It sucks, and is so embarrassing. I dont eat or drink past a certain time, and i make sure i use the bathroom. Also there are times where i work 4am-11am, then go home and sleep untill maybe 3 and i happen to wet the bed. I really have no idea what to do.
Hey Erin,
I know exactly how you feel! I’m 26 and wet my bed almost every night too! If you’d like to chat email me. robkesack @ gmail . com
Hey Erin,
I’m 18 almost 19, and I still wet the bed.. It is very embarrasssing. Iv had sleepiness and it’s happened in their bed which is the most embarrassing thing I can think of. They say it’s okay, but I’m so old. I want it to stop, I can have a night where I wet the bed a tiny bit, it just stays in my pjs, and some nights where I wake up in a massive puddle. And I’m scared for when my boyfriend finds out, I know he’s very understanding.. And I know he hopefully won’t leave me for it.. But I hope he finds out once we are dating for a loooooong time. But for now, I just use the washroom every day before I go to bed. And I make sure I go to sleep right after I go pee. Cause if I wait an hour or more I’ll wet the bed. But feel free to email me. [email protected]
I am a teenager 15 soon will be 16, and I wet the bed sometimes I can go a long period of time w/o wetting the bed but then it happens again. Alot of times I dont even drink late, I try to stop drinking by a certain time but even then I still wet the bed. It’s really embarassing especially when I have family gatherings and I spend the night and wet the bed. I am not lazy, I actually care and want it to stop. Does anyone know ANYTHING I can possibly do to make this not happen ? Ive even go to bed before I go to sleep, but alot of times when I try to wake myself up I cant do it I really want an answer someone please help me, Im desperate this is extrememly embarassing !
my best friend is wetting the bed, and he is 16. he says he can deal with it, but i can tell its hurting him inside. i told him at week 7 that by week 9 he should tell his mom, but hes afraid that his mom will yell at him and disown him. it is currently week 12 for him and it has gotten progressively worse! and is still afraid to tell his mom! i am the only one hes told and i am doing research on whether or not its normal. is there anything i can do to help him in this, or do i just watch and let it happen? someone please contact me on facebook.

Laziness
NEURO-PHYSIOLOGICAL
Look it up Patty cake.
I know a girl who is about to be 17 and is still peeing the bed every nite, and during the day!! She doesn’t seem to care at all. She doesn’t go change her clothes, or her sheets, and then wonders why ppl make fun of her! I just don’t understand how she can wake up every day n just be ok with the fact that she just slept in a pissy bed, and then puts on nasty smelling clothes and JUST DOESN”T CARE!!! She doesn’t need diapers as they just condone the problems as far as I’m concerned. I think she needs a WAKE UP call. Her problem is pure LAZINESS. She has been to the doctor and all has been tested and all is fine. What her mother and I have been trying to do is find some kind of program to help, whether it means she has to be sent away or not. If anyone has any useful information on where we can call to get help it would be great.
I am writing this on behalf of one of my best friends who is a bedwetter and i want to try and help her.she wears nursery print plastic pants over her bedwetting diaper every night and has at least 2 dozen pairs of them in her drawer all with baby prints on them.i have slept over at her house and seen her many times with the baby print plastic pants on.i asked her why she wears the baby print kind and she told me thats all her mom buys for her.i know she is not happy wearing the baby print plastic pants and told me she wants pastel or white ones to wear.can anyone tell me how i can help her to deal with her mom?
To all out there who have to wear diapers and plastic pants for bedwetting. Your not alone in any of this. I have been an Adult Babysitter for 5 years now.
If anyone of you would like to talk more about how you fell. Please add me to facebook or msn under [email protected].
i need an opinion from you other 16 year old girls here.do you feel its ok for parents to require their 16 year old daughters to wear a thick cloth diaper and plastic pants to bed for her bedwetting? i know three girls in this situation and they are not happy.
No, I do not see this as reasonable. You can find plastic sheet kind of things. It requires some cleaning if you wet the bed. It should be put under your mattress pad and if you wet the bed then the next morning you wash your sheets, blankets, and mattress pad and then with a soapy wash cloth you clean off the plastic sheet. When you sleep you should not be able to feel it and in the morning it requires some time for the cleanup but in my opinion it’s far better than cloth diapers and plastic pants. Hope this helps!!!
@Katie & April,
I’m sorry but I find it utter nonsense to state that it’s better to have to clean up smelly, soaked pyjamas and bed-sheets a couple of times a week. For crying out loud: I’m also a bedwetter and I find adequate protection such as good comfortable diapers and plastic pants a godsend gift.
The greatest problem here isn’t the bedwetting or whatever we use to manage it; it is the strange ideas that people have about it. It is those ideas that cause untold misery for millions of people like myself who just have a handicap that we’d like to manage in the best possible way, thank you very much. I’m sick of other people telling us that we shouldn’t use diapers because they have this wacky idea that only babies and MS patients should be allowed to wear those. What is the matter with you?
Some people just have a bladder control problem that is not their own fault. Deal with it!
Is it really possible that this will never go away? the doctors kee p saying that he will grow out of it!!! When?!!!
please tell me what to do!! 16 years old!! and it still happens every nite!!!
Im 16 and I’m a bedwetter! I don’t know what to do? My mom always is yelling at me for wetting my bed. I don’t wet my bed on purpose! I get so frustrated!! I’m not the only one who has this problem but my little brother who is 10 also wets the bed . What can I do or should do?
Hello- I am 15 going on 16 years of age and I still wet the bed. I have a sister a couple years younger than me, she doesnt but my 9 year old brother does. If you find out any inforataion, let me know. I cant seem to find any answers.!!!! Good luck, to the both of us.
I am 17 and also wet the bed everynight and I hate it, I never let my friends stay the night at my house because it’s so embarrassing and never go out. I don’t know what to do. I’ve even tried to stop drinking a ew hours before bed but it won’t help. D:
May I know all to well how frustrating it can be to be a teen and have a bedwetting problem. I use to be afraid to wear a protection at night but now wear either pullon protection with a pad or a cloth diaper with plastic pants. If you wear a good quality plastic pant you shouldn’t have cracking and noise. They cost a little more but well worth the cost. It is nice to be able to sleep without fear of waking in a wet bed and pajamas.
may,why dont you just wear a cloth or disposable diaper and plastic pants like i do.they keep my bed dry and arent that uncomfortable.
i need help! i am 16 and a bedwetter.like the rest of the people here.i wear a thick cotton diaper with adult size plastic pants over it every night.the plastic pants fit me baggy and crinkle under my pajamas when i walk around.does anyone know how to soften them up so they dont crinkle? p.s. i am being confirmed in may and per parish requirements have to wear a white floor length formal dress and veil.my mom told me i have to wear one of my bedwetting diapers and plastic pants under the dress,so this is another reason i dont want them to crinkle.
I’m 16 years old girl, and yeah I still wet my bed. I use to sleep at 11 pm because I think i only wet in my bed every midnight. I always set my alarm at 2 am, but sometimes i forgot to wake. There’s a time that i won’t wet my bed, and there’s i time that i wet my bed. This Jan. me and my classmate need to go somewhere and sleep there. I’m scared that I will wet my bed there. Help me please.
My daughter is 18, in college and still wets her bed. I am worried for her psychological well being, Emotionally and physically this drains her. She puts her sheets in a bag and hides them til the coast is clear to go wash them. The dorm room smells strong of pee and the scent won’t come out in the wash. I am concerned about her isolating herself or worse being shunned by her dorm mates.
She didn’t wet the bed until she was started school. I have taken her to many doctors, but have been unsuccessful. We’ve tried everything but nothing helps. I am concerned that it is more than just a developmental stage. I need to help her!
I’m 19 and wet the bed every so often. I’m a deep sleeper and don’t wake up in time sometimes. The periods when I wet the bed are very sporadic. I’ve gone up to three months at times without wetting. Other times I wet twice a week. At times I’ve dreamed I was standing in front of the toilet, only to be woken up from wetting. I’m tired of dealing with this. I don’t want to use pills, alarms, etc. I need a natural way to stop this. Please help.
I started wetting the bed at 8 time to time i would wet the bed, but hide it from my mom. I started wearing my little brother’s diapers (he was 4) then i started to leak the pull-ups so i wore more then one. Then my brother got somewhat potty trained so i was out of diapers until i was 11 and i had to buy diapers and has i had accidents i forgot how to poo in the potty, but then i got bad in the middle of the day about late November my mom searched my room for diapers and
i was totally out so i had to get use to the potty!
I just wish my mom joined in on me and got and changed my diapers
I am 14 and still wet the bed, i know it’s something I shouldn’t be embarrased about but I am. How are you suppose to wear night pants on a camp or sleepover without your friends finding out? Cuz idk how to tell them or if they would understand. Does anyone have any tips?
Please have a parent or guardian take you to the doctor. If the doctor cannot find anything wrong physically with you, there are pills to help control bladder functions during the night. It is not commom for a girl to have a bed wetting problem at your age but a lot of boys have this problem at age 14. Do not drink anything after 7 pm might also help. Do not drink coffee or softdrinks at night. Also, if you know what kegel exercises are (as a female in your family) that will also help streghten the bladder muscle to hold urine longer. You will eventually stop bed wetting…..
i need help i am 19 years old and i wet my bed and i want to stop it. the thing is i dont know what to do to stop it. I have tried everything from the nasal spray to diapers to everything. i even had an accident in my car on the way home from somewhere and now my car smells and cant get rid of the smell is there a way that works best for that, any help would be very much appreciated.
Sounds like you are having bladder muscle function problems. Go see a doctor for help. This ususually happens after women have given birth because the bladder ges stretched out and women lose control. Now you know why there are so many Depends commericals on TV. I read that 1 in 3 women have continensce problems after giving birth vaginally. If you feel more comfortable, see a female gynocologist. Good luck.
I am now 42 and started bedwetting when I was 7, after my parents brokeup. I also started dressing in girls cloths too at the same time, (not related I think!) I started to wear plastic pants with towles inside for bed, and later was able to buy adult diapers. I have no problems when awake. Although I have gone out in diapers dressed as a teenage girl with the sole intent of wetting them, making sure I drink plenty of water beforehand, and that I.m trapped in a situation where I have to pee myself, I suppose that is more a fetish than a problem. Although I do love going out dressed totally as a normally dressed female, I have always had a love for younger styles, i.e. teenage cloths, but in the last 15 years, I would never go out in them! I also have 2 wedding dresses and 4 bridesmaids dresses( every girl wnats them I think, lol) I have had many girlfriends over the years, and never had many problems with my wetting or my dressing. Sometimes I can go for weeks without wetting, then other times I could wet every night for weeks too. I have over the last 12 years also had a love for adult baby dresses, and now with my diaper and lace frilled plastic pants wear baby girls cloths and bonnet and mitts to match. So although bedwetting is a problem I have never overcome, I do get some enjoyment out of it, by way off being a girl. I know this sounds silly, but is all true! Just try to find a way to enjoy it if you can’t cure it. Lots of Love Mandy x
i am 13 and i wet the bed last night…..its usually not frequent but idk how to stop it…….. the whole dont drink past 7 and wake up every so often to go pee doesnt work……also the whole go b4 u sleep doesnt work…idk how to fix it I WANT IT TO GO AWAY SO I CAN LIVE A NORMAL LIFE!!!
ps the wake up every so often just leaves me tired and depressed to know this is what i have to live with
Nicole, I think the only thing that I can suggest to you is not to drink any fluids maybe a half hour to an hour before you go to bed. Also with the whole bed wetting situation you will be able to get over it,it may not be right away but you will get over it in time. because i know from a personal experience I didn’t stop wetting the bed until i was i think maybe 8-14 years of age. but nicole as long as you limit your fluids around an hour to a half hour before you go to be at night I believe that should really help you a lot.
Best of Luck Nicole,

I am 12 years old and I am incontinent. I have very little control of my body. I wear diapers everywhere. When I act out my parents give me a pacifier and tell me I am a baby. When they do that I have to wear pants that have snaps on them or little girl dresses or footed sleepers. Something to remind me that I am a baby. People laugh at me in public and it bothers me. If I wasn’t incontinent my parents would respect me. Also when I act out I sleep in a crib and my parents take my temperature anally.
My
i hope some other bedwetting girls here can give me some advice.i am a girl,14 and have been a bedwetter for the last 8 months.due to a skin reaction to disposable diapers,i wear a cloth pin on diaper and plastic pants to bed every night.on christmas eve my sunday school class is singing at 11;00 pm service.all of the girls have to wear a white dress and tights and white shoes for the service.my mom told me that she is going to put my bedwetting diaper and plastic pants on me when i get dressed so she doesnt have to do it when we get home. i have never worn my diaper and plastic pants under tights and want to know if any other girls here have done it and if my tights will slide down over my diaper and plastic pants.can any girls here give me any advice?
Brenda, tights are inappropriate for girls who need to wear diapers and rubber panties. Your mother should put nice frilly white ankle socks on you with matching rubber panties for your concert and encourage the other mothers to have their girls to wear socks also. Socks make diaper changes much easier and grownups prefer to see girls your age wearing socks rather than tights.
Hi my name is Veronica I am also 14 and I to have problems with keeping it in. I have been a bed wetting problems to. I to often use my diaper in public I can’t hold either of them in. But if u wear tights with diapers they’re easly noticible. So wear the platic undies and put something absorbent in them and it will be less noticible. (sorry for spelling errors have a -D in english)
Hi Brenda
YES, plastic panties will cause your tights to slide down. I have worn diapers and tights many times. What I have learned is to wear a pair of panties (you say your dress is white, so be sure you wear white panties) over your tights and diaper. This will hold the tights up in place.
BTW – don’t listen to “Jean”. I’ve seen her post on other sites and she’s borderline psychotic. I doubt it is even female.
you are stupid
i just turned 15 and i wet the bed. My aunt wetted the bed until she was 15 also. but i want it to stop like everyone who has this problem does. Now, every one tells me, it will stop when it does, dont drink past seven at night, and go to the bathroom before you go to bed. i did all this. i still wet the bed. my doctors even did blood tests to see if something was wrong but nothing is wrong. i dont agree with that though. Now, i am on this medicine that is a nasal spray and it is supposed to help stop the urge to pee at night. But it doesnt work all that good. and i have been on it for a year now. i used to think that when it did work and i wouldnt wet the bed for a week, i thought that i am done wetting the bed. but no, i just do it again. When i ask my mom to take me to the doctors she ignores me. I am angy, depressed and confused by this bed wetting thing. I JUST WANT IT TO GO AWAY. i mean i want a normal life. i want to be able to have sleep overs, go to sleep overs, drink at night, not worry about taking medicine, and when i get older i want to be able to have a boyfriend stay in the same bed as me. You know, i just want to be normal
I also have the same problem but you’ll get over it. good luck
I’m 18 year old girl and still into the prob of bed wetting. this is so frustrating. i peed in my bed today. last time it was 26th November when i peed. it really worries me a lot… i just don’t know what to do. I’m fed up with myself. this is my last year in school and i really don’t know what would i do if i have to go out to study. i always had the problem of bed wetting but eventually it stopped an year ago. i was so relaxed. but since October, the problem has cropped up again and i don’t see any ray of hope. I am now afraid if this continues, then I’ll spoil the life of my boyfriend as well, So I’m thinking to have a breakup with him as i love him a lot and don’t want him to get into any sort of trouble. life is really miserable for me…. my parents have tried all sorts of medications but nothing has ever worked with me… is there anyone who can help me…PLZZZ
Have you tried talking to him? I’m 21 and I still wet the bed almost 5 times a week still. When i decided to tell my boyfriend I tried to emphasize that it is something that i cant control. He was so understanding and has been so great with accepting it. If he loves you, like you love him, then he should be willing to overlook your bedwetting. Good Luck!
Hey any 18 year olds out there that are still wetting the bed don;t worry you can get over wetting the bed over time but for now just stay positive in your mind that bed wetting is only temporary and that it probably won’t last forever but until it goes away just remeber that you can conquer the problem with wetting the bed it will just take some time. BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF YOU.

Hi, I’m 17 and I have been a bedwetter all my life. This problem sucks, andI hate that. This makes me so frustrated, so mad. I don’t know what to do anymore and I really want it to stop. I mean, if this continues, what am I going to do when I get married or go to college? I’m tired. I don’t have anyone to talk with, and it terrifies me to think what will happen if someone finds out. It sometimes occurs during the day, like not full on pee myself, but I can’t hold it in, I just can’t. And it hurts when I go to pee. It doesn’t happen every night. It happens every now and then, but when it happens it’s terrible. I really just want it to stop. Help?
LUISA i can understand the kind of trouble you have… i just wish someone helps both of us..
Luisa, DONT let this problem control you. It is something that you CANT control. I have been a bedwetter my entire life and I know how much it sucks. Trust me, it gets me down a lot and i hate the fact that I am 21 and need diapers at night but you have to stay positive. For most bedwetters, you will eventually get dry! Just gotta keep living your life and not let it get the best of you. Good Luck!
i am 14 years old nd i 2 wet the bed…my cousin is 16 nd she wets the bed 2..when i asked my doctor he sent me to this nocturnal enuresis,she tld me tht it has to do with my family nd tht i got it from my dad’s side, and she also put me on these pills that kept me from wetting the bed for about 3 weeks however i still went the bed on occasions. nd i havent went there for some times now nd i ‘ve been wetting the bed all over again..people just dont get how frustrating it is…i mean my parents think that i do it on purpose!!!!
I was a teen boy bedwetter and I had to wear 12ply thick cotten shorts just made for me covered by playtex rubber pants. On week ends the cotten shorts covered by super size tower plastic pants two pairs 24/7. My plastic pants would be about four center meters above my jeans for a good view to make sure I was wearing the plastic pants. At home a short tee shirt and up town a long tee shirt to cover the view of the plastic pants.Tiger makes the new step-in blue plastic pants with the many ply boys tiger shorts. For boys and men it is about time the old system has come back to life. It has been to long that bedwetter parents could not put their children back into many ply shorts and plastic pants.There are nice pictures of teen boys wearing plastic pants so have a good look you are not the only one. Put them on get on with living I did wear plastic pants and pin on thick cotten diapers at times. My grand boys wear the all in one plastic diaper. I am going to order the tiger blue step-ins plastic pants as covers to wear over their all in one diaper. My girl will be happy for it will be me making the boys wear plastic pants as covers. I did get out the playtex rubber I wore when I was a boy but the pants are too old cracked. Sure would be nice to have playtex on them.
Bedwetters had to wear plastic pants 24/7 on week ends that was the rule.
It will be hard to find useable playtex pants, the latex ones. But if you go to myprotex.com there are a lot of similar products. They may have some in small sizes. Another source is kalesenterprises.com. He is a canadian. His site is a little confusing but he is a good guy and much less expensive for the same quality as myprotex. He also make very good custom sized pants and is cheap and reliable. Hope this helps.
Hey all, I know what you’re goin through. I’m 14 too, go figure, and I wet the bed alot. like.. A LOTTT. Idk what to do about it anymore its just embarassing. any tips maybe? im 15 in 2 months and the whole, dont drink before you go to bed doesnt work :[ please help ! thanks
hey jordan bed wetting shouldn’t be anything that you should be embarrassed about it just that your bladder probably just can’t hold alot of urine during the night thats all.
From a personal experience that I’ve had with bed wetting when i was growing up was that i thought that i was going to be stuck with it forever but eventually i got over it and you can to all you have to do is stay positive and keep telling yourself that you can conquer with bed wetting. it might take some time but once you get over with wetting the bed than you will feel 100 percent better knowing that you conquered bed wetting forever.
Jordan I really hope that this helps.
JUST REMEBER TO STAY POSTIVE THAT YOU CAN GET OVER THE FEAR OF WETTING THE BED.
BEST WISHES WITH LOTS OF LUCK

Ineed help! i am 14 and not a bedwetter,but i do get excited easily and either have an accident or come close to it,for the last three years i have come very to wetting my pants on christmas eve and day due to being excited.I was told by my mom that this year i have to wear a cloth diaper and rubber pants under my holiday dress for christmas eve and day and that i also have to wear them to bed on christmas eve.i dont want to wear the diaper and rubber pants,what else can i do?
I have years of experience in bed wetting are you going to use velcro or pins for your cloth diapers. I personally use velcro because of the pins getting rusty from being urinated on frequently.
WERE NAPPYS EVERY NIGHT THEY COST 1.20 POUNDS IN TESCO
Yes Becca, you need help at Christmas time which your mother will give you by dressing you in diapers and a rubber panty to keep your bed dry at night and protect your party dress during the day. Lots of children your age still don’t have total control over wetting and need to wear diapers and rubber panties. Your rubber baby panty will be seen under your short little dress so ask your mom if she would be willing to put a frilly rubber panty over your plain baby panty to match your dressy white ankle socks. This will help you feel a little more grown-up without sacrificing the protection of diapers and baby pants. You are still not too old to get a spanking for disobedience, but this shouldn’t be necessary if you lie still and don’t make a fuss while Mom puts on your dressy rubber panty.
You are nuts, these kids are looking for a mature adult or compassionate person whose experienced this for an answer. Your response is totally innappropriate to the tune of psychotic. You need major mental help, see a psychiatrist and get a life already!
Dear Miss Jean,
You are so right. I am eighteen 5′ 5″ and 138 lbs and still need diapers at night. I was sooo glad last year my mom put diapers and baby panties on me on Christmas Eve and Christmas. She was right I needed them. It is very exciting and fun time I was surprised at the times mom checked and I was soaked and did not know it. Moms just know these things. The only embarssing time for me was dinner, Oh I forgot I was in a white nice dress shirt red valour or suede bowtie. Red shorts with shoulder straps that crossed my shoulders and snapped in the back and plastic lined and had hidden snaps in the legs. Cloth diapers and plastic panties with blocks and toys blue and pink on a white background white socks and white shoes. The shorts same material as bowtie. My embarasing moment was there was no room for me at the big table or the kids table. Since my auntie who’s house we were at knew I was in diapers she had a high chair for me to sit in. I did not what to sit there and said no no no. I sat when my auntie swatted my bare leg. My chair was behind my mom so I was happy. Also for people like me I am not dry if I fall sleep during the day. Another reason my mom wanted me in diapers. Because I did fall asleep both days and I would be soo ambarassed waking up in a puddle at someone else’s house. My mom knows when to check me and what will be best for Bobby. You are a good mom too I can tell you know what is best for children.
Lots of hugs and kisses
Bobby
Hi Misses Jean,
You are so right just like my mom you know what is best for children. I am Bobby am 5′ 5″ 138 LBS and am18 and still wear diapers every night. Need diapers and baby panties every night. Last Christmas my mom also told me I would wear diapers during the day on the Eve and the day of Christmas and with all the excitement it would less ambarassing for me in diapers. My outfit for Christmas is red valor shorts with straps the go over my shoulders and snap in the back the straps cross in the back they are plastic lined with hidden snaps. White shirt nice dress shirt and red bowtie white socks white saddle shoes and cloth diapers with baby panties that have blocks and all kinds of toys in blue pink and yellow on white background. I was glad my mom was right. cause I have accidents when I fall a sleep during the day (naptime) which I did. The only source of ambarrassment came at my aunties house for dinner. There was no room at the grown up table and I might have fit at the kids table. However she knew I was in diapers and had several wooden high chairs that are larger then baby’s. She wanted me in one of the chairs and I fussed and told her no no. She swatted my bare leg several times and I sat. I was behind my mom’s chair so I was fine. Good mom’s are smart moms that knows what best for the child like you. I will be diapered during the day this year too. It is just to exicting for children last year I was suroprised when mom told me i was wet.
hugs and kisses
Bobby
hey i stopped when i was nine years old i was not aloud to have a person to sleep round so if you tell your self that you are going to wet the bed YOU ARE GOING TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and if you tell your self no to you wont so
GOOOOOOOD LUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thts tough but i rather have your problem then my own…
Hi Becca,As this is more excitement caused,I would ask your mom if you could wear thicker cotton panties and go along with the plastic panties just in case,You will find they are not uncomfortable at all,and if you are able to let only a small amount at a time out,you can dry yourself and the panties fairly fast,without anyone finding out.
Hope this helps.

“my parents are making me feel so bad about it i think about suicide frequently.”
You need to speak with a counselor at school about learning how to deal with parental guilt trips. Maybe they can get you to a mental health professional who can help. There’s absolutely no need for you to reveal to the counselor that bed wetting is the problem.
Guilt is an evil emotion which serves no purpose other than to manipulate people. Try not to let your dumbass parents use it against you.
Please don’t consider suicide, ever. It is never the answer to your problems, which will get better. I think you should see a doctor, both for the bed-wetting and for your thoughts of suicide. If you cannot, then I recommend setting an alarm clock to go off every 1-2 hours at night (adjust the frequency depending on your needs), and using the restroom whenever it wakes you up.
Best of luck
I was invited to a sleepover with 6 other friends. I was so excited that I was invited to my first sleepover I totally forgot that I’m a nightly bed wetter. It was time to go to bed and I had to share the bed with 3 other guys. I totally soaked the bed that night, everyone in the bed with me got soaking wet. I told the guy that slept next to me that he shouldve worn some Depends Diapers in front of everyone at the sleepover. So all my friends think that it was him that wet the bed. Was this the right thing to do? I didnt want my friends to know that it was me. I am 16 if that helps.
i have the same problem as you try this it might help

WTF I’m 17 and I wet the bed last time it had happen I was 4 why did it happen again?
I went like a month or two without wetting the bed and I just did last night even though I go to the bathroom every night and it still happend I don’t know way to do anymore some one help
I am 15 and I started wetting my bed right after my 10th birthday.Next year I’ll be 16 and I don’t want to be humiliated in front of my family and friends.I mean somehow the truth will be unfolded and i don’t know how to stop.
Please help me! I really want to stop.
i am 14 and a bedwetter.i wear a thick cloth diaper to bed every night and it is pinned on me with regular diaper pins.i dont like the diaper pins and have asked my mom to get velcro and sew it on all of my diapers to make them fasten on easier and not have to worry about the pins rusting or getting lost.she tells me that the cloth diapers,diaper pins and rubber pants are the standard for bedwetting and that the pins have been used with cloth diapers for many years.i have had pins come unsnapped while i was sleeping and poke thru my rubber pants and cause them to rip.how can i convince my mom to use velcro on my diapers?
there is a product out there for fastening diapers without pins. Its called a “snappi fastener” just google it using google images and you’ll see it. Never used it but some say it works well.

I am 16 and just started wetting the bed at night. For a problem that has never accured befor sure became an everynight problem.
how long will this continue to happen for.
I think the only way is not to drink or very little for about 4 hours before you go to bed.
i admier almost evry one here
dont you love it when u dream, your in the toilet peeing and the warmness wakes you the hell up and you quickly realise your peeing in your sleep LOL
I was four when i started wetting the bed, it was triggered by my mum and dad splitting up then my mum found a new man and he moved in right away. My mum took me to the hospital because it carried on for so long, they gave me a buzzer that didn’t work they gave me a pill that didn’t work and now I’m 17 and still wetting the bed I hate it so much. My family think I don’t care and are starting to get frustrated as it has been going on for so long I just want it to end and don’t know what else to do. I have missed out on so much on my childhood because i was bed wetting and too embrassed to stay anywhere else rather than my own house I’ve also tried setting an alarm in the middle of the night to get me up but that hasn’t worked either:( I just need some advice some help.
I don’t drink anything after dinner except a little bit of water, and go to the bathroom a few times before bed
Girl, I’m in the same situation.I’m 26 years old, from Portugal and I started wet the bed an year ago because of ,y very stressfull job.
The doctors weren’t able to get me any soluction so, in order to don’t wet the bed itself i just started to wear adult diapers.
To avoid wetting the sheets is the best solution.
Best Regards,
Pedro.
mail me to [email protected] if you read this
Dont you think you could just wear diapers?
I am in the same situation as you do. I am 17 and I ‘ve been wetting the bed since I can remember, (I was about 3-5 years old when it started). It happens at really random occations, sometimes, I could go on for two months without wetting the bed, sometimes it would happen 3 times in a week. I’ve gone to the doctor, I also had a urine test, and they also checked my bladder for any infection but they didn’t find any. My doctor told me that I could go on for the rest of life with this condition which absolutely sucks and upsets me. However, somehow, I figured that it may possibly be stress related, I’ve figured that when I have arguments at home especially with my Dad, I often wet the bed. When I have so much anxiety, it also happens and the more I worry about it, the more it occurs. What I do is make sure I go to the toilet atleast twice before I go to bed, I also try not to drink any beverages an hour before I go to bed unless necessary. And sweetie, try not to worry about it as much. At then end of each day, say to yourself that it won’t happen and next thing you know, thenumber instances might lessen. Honey, you’re not on your own. I share the same problem, remember that.
Where do you get a monitor for it?
hi i am 19 years old and still wet the bed every single night i hate it i wish i would grow out of it already i want to know if there is a pill i can take or something i can eat i don’t think stress causes mine.I also use Tena pads not cloth dipers they work well for me, you can buy them at Wal-Mart. well hope this helps?????
I hate wettin the bed its so stressful ecspecily when your a teen. I feel like I’m so alone. I can’t tell any one outside of my family because I’m positive it’ll spread around and ill be shunned at school. And I hate when I wake up and my parents are yelling at me and asking me why I’m still wettin at this age. And I tried everthing to stop but It doesn’t work.i can’t help that I’m a deep sleeper. Any advice.(cry cry)
for all you bedwetters who wear cloth diapers,velcro works real well to fasten your diaper on with.my mom was using regular diaper pins with my diaper and it was a hassle keeping track of them,and worrying about them comming unsnapped and poking me.she bought velcro and sewed it on my diapers and now it is a lot better.also i agree with katie and jannelle and think its unfair that parents use cloth diapers and plastic pants on their daughters because they feel its more appropriate.
im 20. all of you guys and girls out there who are complaining because your mom is changing you at night or getting you ready for bed, you should be thankful. i started wetting the bed in grade 8. i went to private school, so leaving an elementary school with a class of 11 and being put into a high school class of 56 was very stressful. i got myself goodnites right away. i new i needed them, but i was so embarassed that i never told anyone. until recently no one knew. not even my own family. i hid it very well but i never had anyone who understood. i beat myself up about it and let myself feel bad for failing at something that in my mind even little kids could do. while it has gotten better over the years and i hope and pray that it’ll stop before i marry my beautiful and understanding girl friend so that i dont have to get into bed with my wife and have to wear a diaper for fear that ill wet the bed, i highly doubt that it will stop that soon. so if you think that having your mom know and want to do something about it is bad, think of what it would be like if you felt you had to hide it from everyone and couldnt talk about it to anyone at all. and as a little side note, if and when you find a boyfriend/girlfriend, tell them! not right off the bat of course, but after a few weeks, if they say they love you, then tell them the first time they say it. if they truly love you, theyll tell you it wont matter like my current girlfriend did when i told her what seems like years ago. not like my ex who turned and ran when she found out. anyone who views you as different in a bad way or as something thats weird, they arent worth the time.
so, if your 11, 12, 13, or even 18 and your worried that your friends will find out that you wet the bed, dont! because if they are truly your friends, theyll offer to have a sleep over at your house so that your more comfortable. or theyll do something else to make it easier. anyone who makes fun of you has no sense of humility. and has no idea what its like to be afraid to go to sleep at night. and not cuz of monsters, but because of the fact that if you go to sleep, that means you have to wake up…
and as “M” said above, we’re all brothers and sisters here. so to all of you, you have my complete and total understanding of what youre going thru.
hi im 17 thinking of joing the air force and still wet the bed at least 3 times a week i feel so alone, when my friends ask for me to sleep over thier house im so nervous, i cant even go to a night party at a friends house in fear i would be made fun of. is there anyone who can help me without alerting my parents i am doing this. plus i feel ashamed my grandma asks me once a week if i was dry and i feel so embarrassed. could it be cause i have an overactive bladder?
that could very well be the problem. it depends on how long this has happened. since you said that you STILL do, im assuming it has for a while. so it could be any number of things. but not telling anyone is not the answer. im assuming you must be using some sort of protection seeing as youve been able to hide it. if so, just tell your friends. like ive said before, anyone who is truly your friend wont be stupid about it. just tell them bluntly. as in “hey, i have a problem at night with wetting the bed and because of that i have to wear ____ to bed.” make sure their fine with it and it wont be a problem. also, tell your parents. it could be any number of harmless things that is causing this, but you should still have it looked into. only because it could also be something as serious as a tumor in your urinary tract.
sorry, that above post was from me, not anonymous lol.
hi im 13 and i still wet my bed but im too afraid to tell even my real friends because theres this girl thats always trying to embarress me so i dont want be made fun of. what should i do!
can any of you bedwetting girls help me?i am putting my bedwetting 14 year daughter back into cloth diapers and plastic pants at night.i dont know which type of plastic pants to buy for her-pull on or snap on.has any had experience with the snap on kind?
well, i may not be a girl, and im no expert on plastic pants, but from someone who has been fourteen and wetting the bed, perhaps you should try asking her what she would be more comfortable in. i’m sure she wouldnt want to go to a sleep over or a party and have to bring cloth diapers along. you may want to consider buying goodnites or even depends. i would recommend depends. they work as good or even better than any cloth diaper, are more comfortable, and if your daughter want to go to a sleep over, they are a lot easier to “keep to yourself”.
Sorry Herman,but I will not help destroy the environment nor waist all that money on disposable diapers when thicker cotton underpants covered with plastic pants are better.
Well dont tell the military. My son just got denied entrance to the military because of bed wetting until he was 14. He had high enough test scores to have any job offered but he wont be serving our country.
theres actually a rather reasonable way to explain that. while saying that it is because he wet the bed might be a little insensitive, a better wat to put it is that wetting the bed can be a good indicator of two different things. one would be a possible medical condition. but a test would clear that up pretty quick. however, if that was never the case, then your son probly has a lower level of stress tolerance. theres no test for it. but trust me, when you have a group of taliban rebels firing bullets at you and youre being counted on the cover someones back, theres no time for you to go change cuz you didnt realize the stress would cause an accident. and think of that happening while a drill sergeant is yelling in his face. im pretty sure knowing that he offered to serve his country should be good enough. nobody said he HAD to go jump in front of bullets for his country. but he offered up his life for his country. that already makes him a hero.
Well said.
dan,i am a girl 19 and had a similiar experience like yours when i was 14.i got asked to be the junior bride in my neices wedding.i was thrilled at the time and a little apprenhsive as i had never been in a wedding.as the day got closer i started getting nervous and a few nights before the wedding i wet the bed a few times.at the rehearsal the friday night before the wedding i flubbed up walking down the aisle and got so nervous i wet my pants there in the church.that morning when we got to the church my neice told my mom to take me to the nursery and put diapers and rubberpants on me to wear under my dress.i reluctantly went there with my mom and she took toddler cloth diapers and pinned them on me then put toddler rubberpants on me then we went back up to the bridal dressing room.i was so embarrassed being seen in the diapers and rubberpants by the other girls and women,i felt really stupid walking down the aisle to the alter with the diaper and rubberpants on under my dress.my mom wouldnt let me take them off for the reception and dance.i was really pissed off at her!
Most of the time bed wetting will go away. Getting laughed at by family or scolded and threatened by parents is not fun and makes things worse. This site helps. Thanks for maintaining it. When I was 14 or 15 and we were on vacation I wet the bed. I told my mother and she said nothing but angrily stripped the bed. Then she angrily took me to the front office check in and asked if there were special rooms for teen boys who wet the bed and what was she to do with a boy who wet the bed and she was terribly sorry and perhaps baby diapers were the answer and would there be an extra charge, and again does the motel have diapers. I really was embarrassed and shamed. With sites like this parents can read and be more understanding and help the situation. Diapers would have been helpful, but I was so shamed that I never asked. Hurray for Goodnights and sites like this.
Hi im 15 and i still wet the bed, not everynight but mostly. A few weeks ago i was sleeping over at me bestfriends house and, ive never wet the bed at a friends house before, until that night. I got really nervous, i sprayed perfume all over and i thought it would dry till morning but it didnt. I was afraid to go back to sleep. I ended up telling her it was because i took a sleeping pill. I really want to stop, im tired of waking up and changing and sleeping on the ground…PLEASE HELP ME!!!
darcy,i am 15 also and wet the bed about 4 to 5 times a week.i wear goodnites with plastic pants over them for extra protection.take my word for it ,it works.they sell girly plastic pants on various websites.i was just confirmed this past may and had to wear a white dress and veil[i am roman catholic].i wore a pair of plain white plastic pants under my tights with my dress.why dont you try goodnites and plastic pants?
darcy, trust me, you dont need as much help as you think. if your friend is actually your friend, then explain it to her whats up. chances are pretty good she may have had the same problem when she was younger. so she will most likely understand. and i know, ive been there. im 20, and it still happens. next time you are going to go for a sleep over, talk to her before hand. explain that you wet the bed sometimes. dont say its a problem, cuz its not. its just a little quirk that your body has to figure out in time. ask her if it would work to go to your place instead, or explain that you have to bring goodnites or underjams, (or if your a bit more grown up than your age, depends,) along. if she treats you like your some stranger freak from mars, then she isnt worth the time to be friends with. and if you ask me, it sounds to me like you dont sleep with any pull ups or “helper pants” (a good term to use with friends. sounds a lot better than diaper). if so, i know it can be hard to transfer into using them, but if you can figure out what things can cause it, then you will only need to use them if you might. thats what i do. i know if i get that same feeling as when youre nervous, you know the one where you have to pee but you actually dont, if i get that before i go to sleep, i need to wear one. if i dont, ill be fine. but either way, explain it to your friend. its always better than trying to cover it up or lie about it.
Hi..i have a sever problem im 11 years old and i still wet the bed>..<
not severe buddy. lol. just deal with it the same as you would with a math problem at school. you know that if you have to mulitply something, and you dont know the answer, use a calculator! so, you know you wet the bed. theres your equation. now you tell me what youve got that will help solve the problem. ill give you a hint, one brand would be good nites. and no matter how embarassed you feel, just remind yourself that it doesnt help to be embarassed. if you just learn to deal with it, itll go away sooner or later. and if it doesnt, youll just be all the stronger for it.
Herman – you are the man ! Thanks for intelligent posts (not just this one).
hey dick heads im 14 and even i know that scientists should put their research into something more important like curing cancer!? stop wankin about and make a blog on somthing interesting.
dick heads? honestly little man? you come to a site like this, where people that are emberassed, because people like you make fun of them, come to find help, and you decide to let loose with your little rant? come on. if you really wanted to have them research something like cancer, you would make the first step to show people that were no different. instead, you poke fun at us. so you tell me, whatcha compensating for? or am i dick head cuz yours is too small to find?
you need to shut your mouth.
If you do not want to read this, you have the freedom to go to another web site, or better for us turn your computer off, it’s a free country.
hey u liam callin these guys dick heads just because they wet the bed makes you worse than wat they feel thay are ok if anythin ur tryin to cover up urself that uv done it so pull up ur non dickhead diapers and think how hard it is for these people
yeahh i know the ins and outs of bed wetting i’m twelve and have always wet even when i can’t remember on the photos for my first day of school my pants are wet and on my first birthday anf 2nd and 3rd and 4th and 5th and 6th and so on it’s so embaressing because i went to a camp oout with the schooland all my friends were there and i had spare diapers in my bag and my bag fell on the floor and al the diapers fell out :@
i feel ya there. i visited my girlfriend in alberta when i went to meet her the second time and asked her to grab something from my bag. needless to say i didnt think her idea of finding was to dump all the contents on the floor. so ya, i had some explaining to do. however, i was lucky to have an understanding girlfriend. i hope for your sake your friends were true friends.
Bobby, what is up with you thinking girls look sexy in diapers??? That has nothing to do with wetting the bed?
hi i am 19 i still wet the bed i have been to the docs about this what shall i do or where
hi,i wanna do friendship with u.
For you young people i am 60 and i wet the bed till i was 12. i wore diapers.Guess what a couple years ago due to a neurological disorder i started wetting again. day and night. The first thing i did was buy some diapers.; I* would far rather have someone find out i was wearing a diaper then peeing my pants.Oh of the bedwetters out there 50 of them have parents that wet the bed at one time. but few parents will admit to it.
Catalyn is a placebo. It is a multi-vitamin, has nothing to do with your problem. If it worked, your problems were probably pyschologically motivated.
what is with parents of bedwetting daughters who require them to wear cloth diapers and plastic pants to bed?i have many bedwetting preteen and teen girls who are required to wear diapers and plastic pants for bedwetting.but yet not many bedwetting boys wear them.why is ther gender discrimination here?girls should be allowed to wear underjams or goodnites.most girls have told me their parents tell girls are more adept at wearing diapers and plastic pants and that girls are more baby like than are boys.this is BS!
janelle,i totally agree with you.i think parents treat their daughters differently for bedwetting than they do their sons.i am a bedwetter and my parents make me wear cloth diapers and plastic pants to bed.i know two other girls who have to wear them also and they feel its unfair also.i dont like it when bed time approaches as i know i have to put diapers and plastic pants on.
katie girls dont get discriminated against many girls are allowed to wear goodnites and underjams but boy cant wear girls cloting but girls can wear boys no that is discrimination.
true that! if my mom had done that, which she couldnt cuz she never knew (that i know of), i would have been emberassed beyond belief! i say if they are comfortable with it fine. but if they express that they would rather have goodnites or even for that matter depends, then let them! and dont assume (moms) that you need to put it on them. sometimes its better to let them figure it out on their own. if your worried about stains, let them do the laundry and/or buy new sheets. but emberassing them is not the answer. heck, it might even be the cause.
i have the same problem, ur not alone and when im sleeping over my cousins house i feel so embarrised if i pea at there house so i dont know wat to do but all i know dont go to the doctors its a wast of time trust me and they dont do anything at all. just go to the bath room every right before u go to bed , ull have days when ull still pea but ur brain will get used to it, ull start waking ur self up in the middle of the night.ur day will come.
I am 12 years old and have a big problem. Nothing medical, we have already checked that out, but still a big problem. I am constantly wetting my bed, so much that my mom now makes me wear diapers to sleep. There have been many times where this has been embarassing, such as the time I slept over at my 6 year old cousins house. Before I went to bed that night, my mom changed me, and put me in a diaper. My little cousin came up to me, and screamed, Skarlet I thought all only babies wore diapers, while I was on the fone with my friends. It was very embarassing. Another time I had had a huge sleep over with 13 of my friends. That night I had a huge accident, and they took pictures and posted it on facebook, it was really embarassing. From then on whenever I had a sleepover with my friend Katie (the girl who hosted the party) her mom and her would always offer to change me into a diaper, before I went to bed! It was not fun. This month I have made two different sets of sheets on usable any more, from the pee stains I left, I never used to wet my bed, it all started like 3 years ago, and I am still waiting to go back to being a normal 12 year old who doesnt use diapers when sleeping :(
Bedwetting alarm!DUH!
Talk to your doctor or urologist about a medication called desmopressin. It’s probably what they’ll prescribe to you anyways if you are concerned enough.
I’m currently taking it. I’m 17.
trust me girl, you dont want to be normal. not if you know what todays idea of normal is. try to be as abnormal as possible. and if that doesnt work, try find some people who have your same problem. bets are theres probly another girl in your class at school with it. ;) and honestly, wearing diapers to bed is not the end of the world. if it makes you feel better, every single person in the world has worn them at one point. and the fact that no body has to put you in diapers to get you to use them means that you CHOOSE to put them on. so as far as that is concerned, your as normal as any other 12 year old. you just made a different choice than they did. you decided to wear a different type of pants to bed. not diapers. babies wear diapers. what you wear is many things. “helper pants”, “pull ups”, “protection”, heck, maybe even “padded underwear.” but none of us on here wear diapers. k?
Advice:
(1) Forget doctors. Except in the unusual case of a very specific physical problem, they are useless. I’ve spent ages searching the scientific literature, and I know: there’s nothing there. They know nothing, because they don’t care.
(2) It will probably go away one day. That’s what the statistics say. One day may be 15, or 20, or 30. But that day will probably come.
(3) Consider trying diapers while waiting. It won’t solve the problem, and people may spot them, but it’s better than the alternative.
(4) Try–impossible thought it may sound–not to feel bad about it. As you can see here, you are not alone. In fact, you’re special. You’re an outsider, and outsiders have always been the best philosophers, artists, poets…
(4) Some posts point out that some people sublimate it into something sexy. If that works for you, that may be a solution. Still in a minority, but a minority that enjoys itself.
To all of you, 10-25, saying you set and need help: the only answer is “**** THEM!” Sorry, but that’s how it is. You’ll stop one day–I did by 24. But you’ll never be one of them. Your brothers and sisters are here–and there are thousands, millions of us. You are different, we are different. So them, those who are not different, have no idea, tease us and torment us. That’s their problem. We are us, we are OK, we can–and do–love each other and understand each other and care for each other. To all of you, and us, my love. Not to them.
i hear you man! or lady. could be either from what ive seen on james bond. i would also like to add that neither i nor anyone else on this site is a “baby” or HAS to wear “diaper”. we all CHOOSE to wear PROTECTION. if you were a baby who couldnt make decisions on its own, you wouldnt be talking on this site now would you?
help ! iam a bedwetter age 15 and my mom puts my diaper and plastic pants on me every night.i was doing it and didnt make sure my plastic pants covered my diaper so parts of my diaper stuck out from under my plastic pants and there would be wet spots on my sheets.i feel like a baby laying there while my mom puts them on me.how can i convince her to start letting me do it by myself again?
y not show her u no how 2 do it.
talk to her! she probably thinks she’s doing you a favor. if you talk to her and tell her that you want to do it yourself because you arent comfortable having her do it, she’ll probly let you. either that or, if you want to make her feel less like she has been forcing it on you, ask her to show you how to do it properly. im sure she would appreciate it instead of just feeling like you hate her for helping you…
What worked for me was to put myself in the diaper and then have parent come in and do the pinning. I would then put my own plastic pants on. Be sure all the diaper is tucked in. This was not nearly as embarrassing as everything was covered before a parent entered the room. Just an idea in case diapering yourself doesn’t work.
I wet my pets about 5 times in one day! <:O
WEAR DIAPERS
My best friend Tyler Kawii is an orphanage orphan.Hes 13 and is a bedwetter.He wets himself everywhere.Including nearly all day at school.He starting wearing diapers all day last week,but his accidents are so big they leak through the diaper.He doeasnt think any one will adopt him because he wets himself all the time.Does any one have any ideas?He doesnt drink anything for like 2 hours before his accident but its still huge.He needs help.Does anyone have an idea how to help him?
i wet the bed every night and i am about to be 12.I drink a little before bed.I tried not drinking before bed but that did nothing.The weird thing is is that i never wet the bed at other peoples houses,why?
Please give me advice
i use a monitor; it hooks in your underwear and when u start to go it starts beeping loudly. irritating; but does the job. the reason you dont at ur friends is probably because ur brain is saying “hey you!! dont go in someone elses bed!”. im 12, btw.
a good chance as to why you dont at other peoples house is the fear factor. but really, wait it out. wear protection like a normal person would (b/c your not abnormal. you just have something you have to deal with), and wait. your body is still changing. it might stop. if you go through puberty and stop growing, but still wet the bed, then get it checked by a urologist. if they dont find anything, you might have it for life, or you might just have it till a few years later and your body figures it out.
I am 12 years old and i really need help. last night my mom got really mad at me for accidentally wetting the couch. i am so upset. i’m the only one in the family that has this problem. anyone got any answer 4 me????
first of all how much did u drink were you really into what u were doing?Did u drink alot then fall asleep?Maybe it’s not a problem.
your mom houldnt get mad at you for doing something that u cannot control. i wear a monitor. its a thing where you clip into your underwear and when u start to go it beeps really loudly. i dont drink anything 2 hours before bed. aftr one week of being dry i reward myself by maybe buying a new pair of jeans i wanted or go to the movies with my friend. after i do tht for one month, i start rewarding myself monthly. im 12, btw.
I have never had a bed wetting problem i did wet the bed once but im 16 now and in the past 3 days i have wet my bed 2 times? should i be concerned? I have NEVER had a bed wetting problem. Please help!
I have never had a bed wetting problem before i think i wet the bed once when i was around 5, but right now im 16 and in the past 3 nights i have wet the bed twice? should i be worried. I have NEVER had this problem. Is this serious or am i over reacting. please help!
hi, i’m an 11 year old girl.
i wet the bed about twice a week.
i cant go to many sleepovers or anything :(
i’m too embarrassed to go to the doctors though…

thanks
audrena,why dont you wear pull ups if you have a wetting problem.they make them in sizes for teens and work well.i am a wetter and wear them during the day to school,etc.at bedtime its a cloth diaper and plastic pants for me[required by my parents]
Ok i admit it. I do day wettings. It’s just like ok done with the bathroom. And after I wipe and flush and pull my pants up the pee just starts flowing again! Im 14 and this is getting out of hand! And it only just started this Year! Im so embarrassed.
then wear diapers girls look hot in them anyways
I am 15 years old & I still wet the bed at night. It started just when I was a little kid, but I thought that for sure I would eventually grow out if it but it never happened. It doesn’t happen every night, but almost every week. Whenever it happens I try to hide it and wash my sheets right away so my parents don’t find out. It is really embarassing & even when I spend the night at my friends housse I wet their bed sometimes and I always have to find a way to cover it up. I try not to drink anything at night and I still go to the bathroom every night before I go to sleep but it still happens. I don’t know what to do anymore, I don’t even want to tell a doctor about it or anything because it is just so embarassing.
first off, tell ur parents. im 14 n have the same problem and my parents know about it. it started when i was little too. also i sugest u tell the friends u trust because thats what i do and every things fine. try going to the doctor, i take pills everyday for my problem
Yea i no all about this.My friend Tyler Kawii is 12 nearly 13 and has accidents everywhere.In his bed.Around town.At school.He soaks his pants when he pees himself at school.I’m his only friend.But sadly he has no one 2 help him stop wetting himself.Y?Well he’s an orphan.He doesn’t even have a foster parent 2 help him.He has lived in an orphanage his whole life.He’s sure no one will adopt him because he has wetting accidents everywhere.I’ve suggested he wear diapers 2 school.But he’s scared people will find out and start teasing him like”Oh hear comes the little baby.Do u need your diaper changed?”They’re already teasing him so bad he cries everyday.I take him back 2 the orphanage everyday after school and sing him 2 sleep with songs I write.He wets himself everywhere so he thinks he’ll never have a wife or even get adopted.Does anyone have any ideas?This is a matter of a 13 year old boy getting adopted from an orphanage!Any ideas?

heck. if i was an adult then i would totally do that for him and help him out. im not a pedifile i just know how he feels and want to let kids and teens like him know its not just him and it cant be helped in his condition. im sure their are others like me who are older and can handle this in a proper way
if i were his freind i would ask my parents to adopt him and he can be full potty trained (altho that would be sorta emmbarasing) suprise him with it for like a birthday present or a christmass presant or somthing i think he would realy be happy and i trhink thats verry nice of you to sing to him
Iv alredy given him diapers 4 birthday.He just uses them 4 nite.So 8″{
i’m 15 and I started wetting when I was thirteen. My parents are very supportive, and the doctors found nothing wrong so I’ve just been wearing diapers at night for two years. I sometimes have day accidents, but not too often. I feel so sorry for people whose parents punish them for wetting, I don’t think I would still be at home if my parents got mad at me for wetting. I almost ended up in the pysch ward already for self injuring, It probably would have been a lot worse if my parents punished me for bedwetting :(
agreed
i am 14 and a bedwetter.my parents require me to wear one of my bedwetting diapers and plasticpants to church on sundays and for other occasions even tho i dont need them.i have to wear them on easter,thanksgiving,christmas,for weddings,etc.they tell me it makes them feel better when i am wering them.i dont like wearing during the day under a dress as its embarrassing and i always think someone is going to see them on me.sometimes my parents require me to wear just the plastic pants under my dress which i reaaly dont like.how can i get them to stop this?
your parents minds are in the wrong place. they think they know what they are doing but really they are making it worse. i wish i could put my ideas into words but i just cant. ask them to atleast let you wear under wear over them. thats just wrong to make your kid wear a diaper in public. unless they need it. and you dont. i hope some one can help you good luck : )
bed wetting is an illness. It happens because your bladder is too weak too hold your urine so it just flows and you cant have any idea about it. when your bladder is strong, it holds urine until its full so you can feel that you want to pee. but bacause its weak so you cant feel a thing. try my cure: eat pig bladder or whose soever to help yours. its an old asian medication and it works all the time.
I am 22 years old, I from India at this age you will be knowing that in India we will be getting married so me too in my family they decided to getting me into the marriage stage so I wanna share with all of you that I still bed wet from my birth, I tried everything to stop but it is been continuing from all the stages of my life so please I request heartly everyone that anyone suggest me how to stop my this bed wetting problem within 3 to 4 months any remedies or tablets anything except (bedwetting alarm). Hence I request everyone to help me out. Any suggestions or answers are always welcomed you can send me to [email protected]
Im 12 and i still wet my bed im sick of my mom telling me to stop doing it but i guess she doesn’t understand that is not my fault.
And the funny thing is I don’t even feel it when it’s happening.
It’s very frustrating because i can’t stay in relative’s houses or go to far places.
PLEASE HELP =(
Talk to your doctor s/he can give you a med that helps. I take it and only wet the bed one a month at the most. Don’t drink too much taking the pill or your wet the bed.Hope it helps.
you mother doesnt understand that is true. and i went thru the same thing. i couldnt feel it just woke up after it happens. the problem with parents is that they are not experienced in bed wetting or are experienced in a bad way. im glad (or hope) she doesnt punish you those are the worse kind and can make bed wetting permant and day wettings possible for you in the future
4 me on lights i go 2 bed early,i dont drink alot past 5.If u stay up late,it will be easier 2 empty youre bladder a little without having 2 change youre underwear pjs sheets and maybe put on a diaper.But this doesnt always work because u mite not stay up late.
Ok, i dont ever wet the bed, but i DO ocassionally wet my pants.. the sad part is that im 13! & its embarressing when i do it in publin places! & its also embarrising when do it, in front of my friends. I cant control it! WHAT DO I DO?!
beth,i have a cousin who is 13 and and wets her pants also like you.she wears pull ups with toddler plastic pants over them when she goes out in public or with friends.she gets the toddler plastic pants at a thrift store.this works for her so you might try it also
When I was growing up – we did not have an indoor toilet and so my brother and I had to wear diapers at night and were encouraged to use them. This seemed perfectly normal – but it was all we had ever known.
When I was about 10, we had a bathroom fitted and it was no longer necessary – but by that time it was so in-grained that we both continued to wear at night until we left home – with our parents blessing.
Wearing them was only really a convenience – wetting was mostly quite deliberate save for a few accidents. These days I still use them for just that – long car journeys, save having to queue for rest-rooms at the mall, smelly toilets on trains – and just occasionally at night for comfort.

I Honestly Don’t See Why A Guy Would Dump His GF Because Of A Bedwetting Issue. I Would Try To Help Her, And Make Things Easy. Ach…
I Have Only Wet My Bed Once, And It Was Because I Got Dead Drunk And Must Have Neglected Using The Toilet.
These are very interesting statistics. I have a 4 year old and it is never a problem. He holds his pee pretty well till morning. But now, I am surprise that relatively a large proportion of people even at teenage age can still wet the bed. As long as frequency is not high, not a problem, but maybe there is a market for teenage diapers.
i wet the bed up till 13 i had to wear diaper but still wet aleast 2 times a week
i use to wet the bed sense i was like 4 untill hmm 14? im 15 and maybe once every 2 or 3 months i do
i really hated it because it was EVERY SINGLE NIGHT
i realized i had a bladder infection
got medicin that didnt help much
i grew out of it
but let me tell you it was hard i hid it from my friends i was so embarassed
so all of you experiencing this just know i feel for you and i know its hard
hang in there
lots of love <3 jess
i am a 15 year old boy and i stil do it every night , when i go to partys or sleepovers i always have to try and staty up all night and it isnt nicce is there anyhting you can suggest to stop this because its really becoming to much to handle :(
wow. we have 2 things in common. name and problem. i did the same thing when i was 15 but now its not always a problem. i try to say up all night but it just dont work. usually i only spent the night at a friends who had a baby brother or sister or another bed wetter in the house where i could use those secreatly but i dont recament that. just dont drink any thing after 6 and after you go to the bathroom and think you are empty wait for atleat 2 hours and 4 hours at the most and then try to go again and i mean put some force into it just to be sure thats what i did when i didnt have accecc to diapers or pull ups and it worked 99% of the time and when it didnt work i was good at disgising it before any one woke up. or you could just not spend the night but that would look bad on you. if you think your parents would understand then that is the easy way. but not likly. you know your parents better then i do
it would be better for you to have a nappy put on you at night,thats all i can say
I was 6 years old and still wetted the bed, my parents wonderd about it and when i turned 8, still doing it so i went to a doctor, she told me to stop drinking soda for about 2 hours before bed, didn’t work and so my life went on, until I turned 11, my friends wanted me to come over and sleep over, I had to make something up but at age 13 I had a very truthful friend that I told, and she didn’t make fun of me or nothing but made me feel better about my self, my parents became good friends and now i sleep over with her. But now I’m 14 and want to do somthing about it so i went to this wonderful doctor and told me to take Catalyn and do this exercise Kegel and it WORKSHope this works, it did me!!!
I AM 17 YEARS OLD AND I WET THE BED EVERYDAY, I USE TO CRY BUT NOW I JUST WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT BOTHERS ME ALOT AND THE FUNNY PART IS THAT I DONT EVEN FEEL IT WHEN IT HAPPENS. IT HURTS SO MUCH. I GO TO MY DADS HOUSE IN JERSEY AND I FEEL SO EMBARRASED. PEOPLE THERE TELL ME WHY YOU DONT STOP DOING IT, YOU ARE JUST DOING IT CUZ YOU WANT TO!!, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DONT EVEN KNOW HOW IT REALLY FEELS AND HOW MUCH IT AFFECTS ME IN EACH AND EVERY WAY. ITS SAD BECAUSE I CANT DO THINGS ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW AND I HAVE TAKEN PILLS THAT DEAL WITH BED WETTING BUT ITS NOT ENOUGH AND IT REALLY DOES NOT HELP. ITS FRUSTRATING BECAUSE AS I GROW OLDER I CAN THINK TO MYSELF OUTLOUD AND I SAY TO MYSELF, I DONT WANT TO LIVE MY WHOLE LIFE LIVING WITH THIS, I JUST WANT IT TO STOP AND IM WILLING TO DO ANYTHING SO THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN GO AWAY, I REALLY WISH THERE WAS A CURE, A REAL ONE THAT CAN ASSURE ME THAT, IT WONT EVER HAPPEN EVER AGAIN!!!!
well I have a cure for all of you but its a little gross. I used to wet when I was a kid. It went out of control when I turned 6 so my dad did this to me: he boiled the bladder of the pig for me to eat. Its gross but it works because its an old asian medication. Try it and you’ll see. I didnt want to tell you guys about this but you seem depressed so…its worth it right?
Why dont u just wear a diaper?
pues tengo 18 años y sinquerer hoy maje la cama pero no se por que nunca me habia pasado puede que sea algo malo ?
o puede ser porque tome demasiada agua de jamaica en todo el dia ??
hi my little brother still pees the bed i hate it because i always have to change him what should i do he is 16
hey, I know what you’re going through…it’s so hard. What’s REALLY stressfull is the fear of REJECTION<<that is the main reason. It's so embarassing, this fear of staying the night or having a bf/gf.
I'm 21 yrs old & will be transferring from community college nxt fall to a UC…I'm just scared of living in a dorm b/c of my issue :( It's only at night (almost every night) and I've heard that I've got primary nocturnal enuresis (based on research)<<<which is where you wet every night since the day you were born.
I remember going to the doctor as a kid & after some tests they told my mother that everything was completely normal (like my bladder…I remember having to hold my pee for a very long time while they did like an ultra sound<<I guess to test my bladder capacity??).
It just really sucks to have this & feel like you can never be with someone you'd really like. This issue may be due to me being a deep sleeper when I hit REM; whatever the reason, it's very stressful and I don't want to ever give up finding a solution that won't be hazardous to my health (like the consequences of taking meds your whole life).
I can’t believe how many stupid and perverted trolls these sites get. Any story about any one forced into diapers excessively is likely a troll. Anything with the Catholic stories are crazy, it makes no sense at all, they can’t even tell convincing stories.
It’s kind of strange. I see all this talk about teenage girls almost being tortured through their parents making them wear diapers and rubber panties. I don’t know if they’re actually serious, or if they’re just a 13 year old with a diaper or urine fetish, but I promise that this kind of activity does go on. My parents and I were invited to a Christmas party last year by a good friend of our family, a party for the community (I live in a small town). It was held at one of our towns politician’s houses. And when his daughter came down from upstairs (I’m gonna guess she was 16 or 17), she was wearing a short party dress with a diaper and rubber panties underneath. I know because I was 17 at the time and went over to talk to her for a while, not that it wasn’t obvious anyway. But at some point during the party, she actually wet the diaper. She said it was because “she got nervous.” I don’t know about that. In fact, I don’t know what kind of effect stuff like this is having on teens, but it can’t good for them mentally.
I am a 16 year old girl and all of the sudden one night I just wet the bed for what seems to be no reason what so ever and I can’t think of anything help!
i tried to email you some info but was unable to cause the email account was wrong, check it please

Use goodnites and they have adult diapers
I was bed wetting everyday and it suddenly stopped when i was 15 years old.
I had many problems when i was bed wetting.It couldn’t stay in relatives house or go to far places.
Now im 20 years old and it suddenly stopped when i was 15.I don’t know how.
how am i supposed 2 find a diaper my size since im 13???? where wuld i find them? email me back at [email protected] please and tell me!
Don’t worry about them. i still wet the bed. it takes time. Tell them to hold on and if that doesn’t work buy a bed wetting alarm. they will evenually stop wetting the bed. if this an issue put them in diapers. it’s ok
My husband stiil wet the bed at 30
years old. He had high blood pressure so I convinced him to stop drinking caffeine. It lowered his blood pressure, but he also stopped wetting the bed. He has not wet the bed in 2 years. My 13 year old daughter was also wetting the bed. So I told her to stop drinking caffeine and low and behold she quit wetting the bed. It has only been about 2 months for her. She did wet the bed a couple of times but then found out she drank caffeine. She still misses her caffeine but would rather not wet the bed. I hope this helps other bed wetters. Try it you have nothing to lose.
Are your daughter and husband still not wetting?
