Teens and Bed-Wetting: Dealing with Diapers and Plastic Pants

 Being a teenager can be a stressful time in life.There's the pressure of fitting in,preparing to get into college,going to prom,learning to drive.Now imagine if you also had to tell someone of the opposite sex that you have to wear diapers and plastic pants because you still wet the bed?

 

 Teenagers can be very cruel when it comes to people being different.I think it's important for teenagers to be able to talk to other people with similar problems.There are many online support groups for various health problems and teenagers suffering from bed-wetting should take advantage of the many online health resources.

 

  You can also start an online support group if you want.Many older children,adolescents,teenagers,and adults deal with bed-wetting every night so there are a lot of people who would be interested if you do decide to start a bed-wetting support group.

 

  I think it would help if teenage celebrities(as well as adult celebrities) started talking about subjects such as bed-wetting-it would make it less taboo.

 

  I  also think it's important to be able to confide in people about this problem-whether a family member or relative,a teacher,or friend.Sometimes talking to people helps a great deal.It's important to be able to gauge the depth and quality of a person's friendship.There are some people who are real compassionate and understanding.These people are very accepting of other people's problems and they're easy to confide in.If you feel you have friends of this nature and  if you're having difficultycoming to terms with wearing diapers to bed then you might want to consider discussing this with them.It's important to remember one thing-there are plenty of people of all ages who wet the bed so the next time you're getting ready for bed and putting on your diapers and plastic pants keep this in mind!

I dont see the big deal with this!  As a teen I was a bed wetter and as an adult I still wet my bed every once and a while.  Yes I do wear a diaper and plastic pants still at night..Its really not that bad.. Its a lot better than the embarresment of a wet bed. Do you really have to advertise it?  Just do it and just let the people know who will not harass you know about your problem..  You are probably going to stop soon anyway..  Just keep with it and relax>>

Hello,

 

       I started bed wetting when I was 13, day wetting accidents started a few months after I turned 20 and I am 29 now. Started using diapers to manage the wetting when I was 14. Got tired of the 2-3am changing of the sheets and the laundry. I kept it secret because of how my brothers bed wetting was handled. The family would put baby diapers on him instead of goodnites or something. Call him a baby and other names. Some family members made him sleep in the bath tub when we visited. It's was just mean and I didn't want anything to do with that kind of treatment. It did help with my parents being devorced and my dad working all the time. He was rarely home. Don't think I really could have kept it secret for such a long time if I had to keep it from both parents. When I was living with my mom I had to keep the pack in the leaves of a palm tree and sneek in and out one diaper at a time as I needed them. She did find one once and just as I thought she would react, she said if she found anymore she was going to toss them out on the lawn and tell everyone they were mine. She was very cruel person. Anyway, after having a hard time finding a safe environment to talk about bed wetting without being called names I made my own site. Just wanted to post it for anyone who wants a safe place to talk. www.bedwettingabdl.com. Try not to beat yourself up over it. Most bed wetters do grow out of it around age 15 or 16. And your not a baby for wearing a diaper. A diaper is just a tool, not a title. Take care.

YEA IT IS HARD AND SOME PEOPLE JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND, I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD TO FIND A DATING SERVICE THAT SPECIALIZE IN PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO WEAR DIAPERS FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER OR 24/7 LIKE ME, MAYBE WE COULD GET LOCAL GROUPS TOGETHER TO DO STUFF TOGETHER , I KNOW IT IS HARD COZ WE ARE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND WORLD , SO IF SOMEONE IS IN ALBUQUERQUE, NM AND WOULD LIKE TO GO TO A MOVIE OR LUNCH OR SOMETHING , I WOULD LIKE THAT THANK YOU, I am 48
