I have two boys, ages 9 & 13 who both wet the bed nightly. My nine year old still poops in his pants, too. I use Potty Scotties training pants on them and they work much better than pull-ups. Cost of disposables was really strapping me, so I gave these a try.

To keep them clean, I soak them in hot water and bleach, rinse and then add water and one cup of white vinegar per load of wash. Stains and odors are eliminated entirely. Hope this helps!

if your son is under stress that can cause stress incontinence ive suffered fron it for years try and calming herbal vitamins and use disposable diapers that breath and powder is a plus so he dosent wind up with diaper rash because there is nothing worse then using an ointment during the day it feels terrible.

hi my name is michael tackett, and i am 32 years old, and i wear diapers all the time because i have a bladder problem, and i am hear to tell you that there is nothing wrong with what you have to do! at first i was scared of wearing diapers, but i was wetting the bed and on myself, and let me tell you if you have a choice between wearing diapers or wetting your self there is no contest! i have told my family, and friends and thety arer so supportive and sweet!! do not be ashamed because of some small minded people, and sicko's who wear them for sex!! be proud do the right thing and wear your diaper if you need to! i cried for a couple of weeks was so scared of telling people, even my mom and brother! but when i told them they where so sweet about it!!! if people love you then it will not matter!!! now i wear my diaper with pride, and tell people about my condition and hope that they listen if they give you a weird look,or laugh that is thier problem!!! now do as i say, please and live a good life!!

Hi David,

        You know, if someone had told me I would have a 14 yr old son in diapers and plastic panties a number of years ago, I would have thought they were crazy too. Because of my son's nightly wetting, I sure thought about it a lot but continually didn't do anything. Yes, I had him checked and part of his wetting is due to type II diabetes which we now watch as close as we can. Well, you know kids. I can now see a change in him if he has a high level even before we check it. While daytime is occassionally a challenge, night time continues to be 'no control'. My sister finally convinced me to get him back in diapers and she is seven years younger than I. I suppose what made that easier is that her little ones were about 2 and 5 then, she had plenty of diapers and my son stayed with her every other weekend. We explained everything to my son and that we would be very discreet ( if possible ) along with him surely being much happier in the mornings with a dry and warm bed. It all worked so wonderfully, more than I had ever hoped I guess. He finally told me he was glad we let him wear diapers and I never thought I would hear that. And thank you for being open about your difficulties too. So many times it is hard to do and so many people do not understand.

Hi Raylene,

You say that daytime is occassionally a challenge. Does your son have a problem with daytime incontinence too?  And if so - how du you handle it?

/Anna

     Most daytime wetting accidents are the result of him not monitoring his blood sugar levels properly. He is type II diabetic and when it gets too high, he will have the 'immediate' need to urinate that he cannot control. She insists on him wearing a day diaper when at her house because of these accidents. I have asked her to watch what he eats and mainly drinks ( pop ) but it doesn't get done very well with her watching over her own two little ones.

I don't understand your sister's approach. Does your son accept this? Since he is dependent on you or her to change him, does she have to remove his diaper every time he needs to use the toilet? It seems rather unfair to him.

is your being bulling at school

is your son happy in his school -have you be to see incontinence nurse a catheter could halp

HI i am 42 and ware diapers also have spina bifida i am not ashamed of it is a way of life.

I grew up with medical problems also.Cloth diapers and plastic pant were a norm for me

thats all that was around in the late 50s and 60s I only could wear the lage pampers for a year and went into the early Attends.Some thing in life you don't have a choice in.

Hi I suffer from MS and wear diapers and plastic pants 24/7 for me it is a way of life and nothing to be ashamed of.

You know it's funny not the HAHA funny I thought I was alone in this. I grew up in a family that would have never understood my problem. I have (DDD) Digenerative Disk Disorder my neck is already fused and now the lower back needs it. On top of that I found I had A bladder bigger that normal. Im the begining I would cough and dribble I just figured it was age as I am 45 and have always been very active and physical. But about 3 years ago I wet the bed I passed it off the first time but it happened again. And so it began wearing diapers at night Just to save my laundry bill at first I used throw away ones but then developed a rash and infection and I am a guy very painful. And a year latter I had issues during the day so I used womens pads anything I could think of to hide the small problem. Then it got worse all the while I tried to pretend the problem was not getting worse. So I purchest my first set of cloth diapers and had to learn to use them. Even though it bothers me and I have been told by my doctor it won't change. Now I wear them 24/7 and I have accepted it is a fact of life, You see the websites that say become an adult baby etc if they only knew what it is like not to have a choice. So I say to anyone that has the problem or is starting to get the problem check with your doctor first if it can be fixed please do so. If it can't no matter your age or sex your are not alone it is good to find real people that have the same problem. I have learned to deal with it although it is a real date killer LOL, I hope to anyone reading this for the first time as I was before I posted you are not alone and please don't feel that you are or are alone in this. And if this makes you feel better I used to think a bed wetter was lazy etc kinda funny you don't inderstand until it happens to you.

Dear Sir : I'am a 46 year old slim very on the go type of guy , and I developed  stress incontinence a year ago , and the doctor says that their is nothing he can do about it . So I did some reserach and decided to start wearing bikini style rubber panties to control the problem , I wear form fitting tight bikini rubber panties over my regular tight cotton briefs . and even sometimes I will only wear the bikini rubber panties and no cotton briefs ! I hate to admit this , but I have since developed a fetish for liking to feel the rubber against my skin ! although it does get a little hot in them in the summer ! I wear shorts  and tight jeans and no one can tell and I feel much more secure in going out , plus like I said , I now love the feeling ! And believe it or not my new found girl friend gets turned on by seeing me in just my bikini rubber panties ! you can purchase these bikini rubber panties at  ( fetware.com ). Hope my sharing helps you !!

It Amazes me to see the creative way the owner of fetishwear promotes his business.  He has done this silly stunt from day one.  Sadly his business thrives reselling Gary Mfg. products. As one of the most expensive distributers of Gary products, it is places like these where he advertises for free, assuming we are all gullable, which I guess most are !  Sorry Mike, I have to pay for my advertising.

Hey Fred are Leakmaster pants not made by Gary, and  called "Gary Comfort pants" before you?

Hello, I saw your post, ans Wow it is nearly the same for me.I'm 48, ans  I have had four back ops with fusion and instrmentation. Have not been right since. Docs did the water tests and that really sucked for sure! Nerve damaged and never will be right again. I always wondered about, makin the docs pay for this prob. They do cover my diapers though. Take care

Hi  there,   sorry i dont know yr proper name.   Yeah i know where New Jersy is we r doing American geography at school.  Caer   sprry  sorry about spelling delete button got stuck,    would u like 2 talk about yr problem?     I loive live in the U.K.   had wetting probs 4 some time.    Martin James  

Step one is always see a Doctor, and together figure out a medical plan to help you with your bedwetting.  the Doctors office can recomend many forms of treatment. including (if nessary) Diapers. 

yea no kidding its nothing to strive for its just a condition much like infantilism which sounds like is what you are going through

rock on derick i want to wear them too i just dont have the guts to tell my mom

I do not belive for one min. that you are 14 year old no noral 14 year old boy would say they want to be into diapers if they did not have a problem with thier bowels or bladder or both.

I hate to burst your bubble, when I was 14 I Did enjoy wearing diapers for the heck of it, in fact I started at age 7.  Now I am 39 and wear them all the time, some people just never get over it, now I do have problems with continence at night. 

This is where you are WAY OFF!!!!!!

I was a 14 year old boy who so desperatly wanted to wear diapers I would use makeshift diaper out of towels and plastic bags with the the corners cut out.  I would steal diapers anytime I could, I would order plastic pants and will call them at the local JC Penny's or Sear's Catalog store.

I got very very good at keeping it a secret, but it took a HUGE emotional toll.  Why should I be so ashamed of something that was not hurting anyone, and not vile and nasty, I had NO ONE to turn to, there was no such thing as the internet when I was 14, I was depressed because I felt like I shouldn't have such desires, but didn't know why and no one else knew.

It was not sexual, these desires had been with me since I was 5 years old and stealing my little brother's diaper's and plastic pants.  I was caught several times while wearing, or washing them, my stashes were discovered several times as well, but I just COULDN't quit.

Now at 41, I am divorced father of 3, my ex couldn't handel my need for diaper and I couldn't give them up, I have 3 children who are aware of my diapers but its not a problem because I decided long ago not to make it into one.

Social norms are what makes diaper good or bad, or referes to them as a garment only for babies.  Only acceptance can change that "social norm"  I can assure you I am a normal 41 year old, I have been in law enforcement and the Army, all while in diapers so stop assuming what a "noral(normal)14 year old boy would say" and accept this young man as he struggles to accept himself.

Why risk buying inferior and risky diapers made in Thailand or China? ...

Derick

frist off i agree with other posters you are sick

As like the other posters I have to wear for medical reasons and I can tell you it is not fun.

If you lead a active life like I do work and do active hobbies you have to always carry a change of diapers with you so that you can chage if the need arises this means finding some where that is :

1) private as beening a teen/adult you can just be laid/ lay down on the floor,park bench, grass like a baby as you WILL be arrested for indecent exposer

2) is clean and dry

3) has enough space to change in

if you are lucky to find that place then you have to change and then find some way of disposing of the diaper if it is a disposable or carry a wet/messy diaper around with you untill you get home and to cover cloth diaper you WILL have to carry a wet/messy and smelly diaper around with you and trust me a wet cloth diaper is not light.

also although there are people who understand I would say that 99.9% will think that you are wierd, a freek or want to harm thier kids which as we know for most wearers is not turn we just want to stay comfertable and dry

Never mind safety. The Chinese do not have a clue. I bought a plastic mattress cover recently. Made in China of course, but how can you #%&* up a rectangular piece of plastic sown to four other rectangular pieces of plastic. Well guess what. It is round. No corners??? Needless to say it fit the childs bed poorly. It is a very small round cover which does not fit at all. Behind all this I am sure their is an American firm which simply does not give a &*%$ as long as they make money selling this crap. next time i will buy American made

plz email me mc.lamborghini@gmail.com

       Quite some time ago, I tried one of these and I know there are many brands and types out there. We didn't have much luck with it since part of my son's wetting is from type II diabetes which can cause almost 'uncontollable' wetting even in daytime. I continued to diaper my son even with the alarm and this was partly at his request. He does not want wet bedding. His wetting continued and I finally decided to let it go for now and continue as we have in the past.

                                                                                                  Raylene

Hello Megan,

        Sorry that I missed your post for such a long time. I did try a bedwetting alarm before we chose diapers and my personnal opinion was that it was terrible. It woke me up in my room, my son wet the bed and soon I was not well rested at all after about a week. I know they work for some but I disliked it and we never got any results. I know that was a short time but it just wasn't working out. With diapers, everything changed almost immediately and we have all been very pleased since.

                                                                                                 Raylene

      Hello,

            This came about after years of my son bedwetting andtrying various things to stop it, all of which failed. My younger sister had often said I should just put him back into diapers and I often considered it and at the same time kept thinking, "Oh he's too old for that". She offered to get him started since at the time she had a 1 yr old and a 4 yr old and was diapering all the time anyway. I had a two week business trip that I had to make and during that time, sis got my son back into diapers and by the time I got home, he had seenhow they work and that wet beds didn't have to be where he woke up every morning anymore.

            I'm not real sure how a 3 or 4 yr old would ever diaper themselves at all but I can explain where we are with this. My son cannot get diaper pins in at all, is somewhat afraid if sticking himself and mostly doesn;t seem to care about doing this at all but at the same time, will not go to bed without his diaper on. I put his plastic panties on him to make sure they are covering his diaper properly and also because I want to make sure they don't get torn if he should try to just 'pull them on' you know.

           I will read your posts that you mentioned and no, I have not tried to Comco plastic panties but I would like to. I've heard they are quite good.

                                                                                          Raylene

raylene,my daughter is 14 also and a bedwetter.i put her back into cloth diapers and rubberpants[plastic pants] i buy the gerber diapers and sew them together to make one diaper.i get her rubberpants from comco and adult cloth diaper.com.every night at bed time i pin the diaper on her then put the rubberpants on her.i have found this works out the best.i buy her pastel and nursery print rubberpants.even tho she doesnt need  them during the day,i put them on her for church and special occassions and holidays.she is going to wear a pastel pink dress for easter and i will do a diaper and nursery print rubberpants on her under the dress.

YOUR 14 YEAR OLD , IS GET TO THAT AGE WHERE SHE MIGHT WANT A BOYFRIEND OF CAUSE WITH YOUR SUPPORVISION , IF YOU FIND FOR HER A BOY THAT WETS THE BED TOO , SHE WILL KNOW SHE NOT ALONE AND SHE CAN RELAX AND GO TO A MOVIE WITH HIM AND SO ON LESS STRESS MAKE A HAPPY TEEN.

find a gril for the 14 yr old who wets the bed, too?  Really, Jeffrey, one thing at a time.  We are discussing diapers and the need for the 24 yr old boy and girl to diaper themselves without help.  They are too old now to do have someone else diaper them.  Now, you want to talk about dating.  We will get to that after the kids are taking care of their sanitary needs by themselves, ok??

Hi there...

How does your daughter feel about the Easter wardrobe you have planned for her?  If you'd like to talk, please write to me at kbct0384@hotmail.com.  Would be glad to talk in private.  Take care.

kb

kb,my daughter is ok with the wardrobe i have planned for her.she is a very girly girl and the outfit will make her feel very cute and girly.the saturday night before easter i will put ruffled rubberpants on her over her bedtime diaper then a pink blanket sleeper.i am going to do two pair of rubberpants on her easter sunday.after her bath i am going to put a plain pair of white rubberpants on her,then pin her diaper on over the rubberpants,then put her babyprint rubberpants on over the diaper.this way she will have rubberpants next to her skin and her diaper wont itch her.

sounds very cute -- I presume the dress has at least a knee-length hem and is nicely full cut to hide everything.

also -- I've never heard of a well-washed diaper being itchy or scratchy...  :)

you can drop me a private message if you'd like to talk further...

Rubber underpants next to her skin is not comfortable.  She needs something to absorb urine if she is incontinent.  That's first, cute is next!!  Ask her to give you more input into how she feels .  She is not a baby anymore.

Sam's has a product called Odo-Ban. If you soak a wet cloth diaper in water that has a couple ounces of this product there is no smell. One can wait until there is a load for washing.

Fetware.com has plastic pants that are high back. There is an extra three inches at the top and you don't get leakage.

Highback plastic pants sold by fetware are made by Gary manufacturers and are sold by several other suppliers such as Adultdiaperco

Even though I was like your son, I am afraid to write. Why? Because I have seen people on both side of the fence just pick apart a person trying to write or explain their situation. That includes professionals.

I wore cloth baby type diapers and plastic pants from the age of 5. We didn't have the internet, Discussion Groups, or sites like this to compare all the rights and wrongs. All the Doctor's back then would use diapers that I knew of. I had my pants changed by my Mother, Aunts, Doctors and Nurses. Maybe we all just didn't know any better, but I don't even want to admit my age when it wasn't done by someone else.

Do whats best for you. Tell your sister "Thank You". And Good luck. Michael

Thank you Mike for your supportive comments. I am surprised at some of the negative comments I have recieved too. A few have been very kind as you have been. The cloth diapers and plastic panties have worked wonderfully for my son and I assume they did the same for you. My sister and I are the only ones that diaper him and we do keep it as discreet as possible.

                                                         Raylene

What size?

       I would say you were very fortunate then to go back into diapers before it became 'difficult' at an older age. I made that mistake to some degree with my son but he saw the advantages very quickly at the age of not quite 11. We have been very pleased with the diaper solution ever since and even though it may not work for everyone and maybe not even accepted by everyone, we are pleased. I'm glad your situation worked out so well with your aunt too.

I AM IN DIAPERS COZ OF WEAK BLADDER AND ALLERGES I SNEEZE I PEE, I COUGH I PEE ,AND I GET DRY THROAT SO I DRINK ALOT OF LIQUID , WHICH MAKES ME PEE MORE BUT I DO NOT COUGH AS MUCH , CATCH 22 THERE I AM 47 NOW AND SOON TO BE 48 JUST LOOKING FOR FRIENDS

     Yes, we diaper him as we would a toddler or infant, however it it not necessary to as you say 'grab his ankles etc.' because he is 15 yr old and cooperates. He raises his own bottom so we can slip his diaper under him. We hold toddlers and infants up by their ankles because they don't know to 'help' during the diapering. Everything else is pretty much the same however. The use of baby oil and/or powder is to repel urine from the skin to prevent diaper rash of course. We do have him stand up so we can put his plastic panties on him which is much easier that doing it lying down. No, you are not offending me with the questions. I am glad to answer.

                                                                                              Raylene

Thank you for answering, I  was actually refering to when you and your sister first started diapering him again when he was 10.

Sometimes you get so use to doing things a certain way it becomes habit, so it would be understandable that if your sister was diapering him along with her (then) 1 year old and 4 year old she would simply diaper him in the same manner she diaperd them including holding on to his ankles to lift his legs etc.

I know thats not how you do it now,  but even if she did it that way the first time she started diapering him again it would be understandable.  Like I said force of habit.

      I understand now what you were speaking of. In the very beginning, we did something similar but not by holding his ankles although I did that when he was an infant of course. We put one arm under his knees and lifted up just slightly so we could slip his diaper under him. Actually that wasn't done for a very long time as he learned to help out by raising his bottom for us and of course that was much easier.

                                                                                                       Raylene

WHEN DO YOU THINK HE WILL BE ABLE TO DIAPER HIMSELF? HOW BIG IS HE  , 15  HE MIGHT NEED THE ADULT DIAPERS IN THE DISPOSIBLES? THEY WORK GOOD FOR ME. OR DOES HE PREFER YOU DIAPER HIM RATHER THAN HE DIAPER HIMSELF?

I am 64 and have to wear cloth diapers and plastic pants because of a spinal cord injury in my lower back wear the nerves that control both my bladder and bowels are. I also have type 2 diabetes with high blood pressure. One of the meds I take plus my diabetes also increase my urine out put. Because of the nerve damage cause by back and diabetes I do not know or fell when I have to go until my diapers are wet and I fell the poop pull down on my diapers. I have a care giver change my diapers so I can take a shower. After my shower she lays my new diaper down first before so she can pull it up and pin it.

What size?

      I normally diaper my son on the living room carpet since it is always only us at home. Diapering him on his bed seemed akward to me so I only did that on a few occassions before I gave it up. Since I fold his diapers as what I always called a double-double and put a soaker pad in them, I never have any reason to diaper again before morning and I would hate to have to get up to do that and bother him too, if he woke up. I do the diapers along with other laundry here at home but it is really easy because he gets in the shower every morning with that on, slips off his plastic pants and then lets the shower rinse his diaper while he has it on for a little bit. It works great. He unpins one side and can then take it off and toss it in the pail, so after doing this simple thing there isn't hardly anything to offend or cause odors prior to wash day. That is his part to do and it works so well for us.

                                                     Raylene

I'm glad things are working out well for you and your son.  Most if not all of the questions I've been asking you are based on my own experience growing up.

I grew up in the 70's and like your son I also wet  my bed heavily virtually every night, and like you my mother put me back in diapers and rubber pants when I was about 10 or so.

My mother would diaper me in the same manner you diaper a baby, including gabbing on to my ankles to lift my legs, and she would diaper  me on top of an oak dresser that she used as a changing table.

Sometimes I would wake up during the night and my diaper would be soaked (but the bed would be dry) and since I could not get back to sleep wet I would have to wake her up so she could change me.

She used a diaper service, since my younger sister was a toddler at that time so you can immagine how many diapers we used during a week.

I finally stopped wetting for good shortly before turning 14, but I still remeber those days.

Rob.

Raylene, we went through this a few years ago.   We felt it was better for the boys to do be independent and to learn to take care of their needs.  If he has no intellectual issues that would hinder his taking care of his needs, try to get hiim to do a little more for himself.  It might be easier for you, but in the long run, if you can get hiim to change his diaper by  hiimself, it would be so much better for him.  My boys would wash their own linens when they were  in high school.  We knew that was a sign am accident had occurred.  We didn't fuss.

Raylene, I just wanted to say thanks for helping others like myself to feel more accepted. If only I had parents that had been like you. I had a damaged urethra (I assume from birth since I always had the wetting problem).  Nobody knew what the problem was or even that it originated from a medical reason.  I was punished and shamed and embarrassed until my teens when my parents finally realized I wouldn't torture myself like that on purpose.  Things are much better now that I'm older and have my own grown children, but when I was younger it was hell and I often thought about suicide.  It's people like you who help to heal the whole stigma around incontinence and wearing diapers.  Thank-you.  --Tim

The first thing I feel you should do is talk with your parents about this. Not all parents are like mine, Then go to a doctor to have a check up. At your age things are changing we won't go there LOL. If you have a problem that can be fixed please please do so, If you have a problem that can't be fixed then you are not alone. Please don't let what anyone says to your face or behind your back make you feel that you are a freak or whatever they say about you. I know as I now have to wear diapers 24/7 and it is not fun but a part of life. And trust me on this one I tried to hide it and pretend it was not a problem, When in fact it was, No I am not a Doctor etc just one that has the same problem as alot of people but we hide or suffer because we don't want to be made fun of etc. You have a choice to make hide it or come clean with the ones that love you the most your parents. I hope this helped please let me know as I hate to see anyone hide in shame because of a health problem.

Hi,   I am also a teen who has wetting probs due 2 family probs  (i live in the U.K.)

      Yeah u gotta tell yr folks if yr wetting gets any worse, obviously they will take u 2 yr doc who will examine u maybe run some tests.    In the meatime get some protection better than waking up ina wet bed.   Maybe DRynights. Goodnights,  or proper youth diapers.      Martin James. 

While I understand the problem that your son may have with pins, I still can't understand why someone would need to change an older person's diaper. There is the issue of personal shame, and there is the issue of convenience. Though I was wore diapers at 18, I would not have liked my father to see me or worse, to have to powder me or put desitin on me. Also, at that age, I was going out with my friends at night, and would definitely not have wanted my parents to wait up for me till i got home, so that I could be changed for bed. I also had a close friend who was aware of my problem and I enjoyed spending the night at his house. I would not have wanted to bring my father along to make sure I was dressed for bed.

In short, how do you deal with all the personal invasion of privacy and space that diapering your son entails?

Hi,   I am a teen who also has bedwetting probs, although not as old as yr teen.   U mention snap stud plastic pants.     last year i caught my fingers pretty bad in the car door on a pinic trip 2 the coast ( i live in the U.K.)   so was unable 2 pin the cloth daipers at night  for a while so aunts had 2 do it,  they also had 2 assist with the snap studs on the plastic paNts,     so ist no big deal when parents have 2 help with diaper changing  .     Martin James just turned 16

Well what type of help do you need? Can your parents not give you advice/help?

Hi do any of the parents here use pampers,huggies,or luvs?

heeey whats your msn

Hello Again. I assume from your post that someone else diapers you. What is your reaction to that? How old are you? Have you tried cloth and plastic pants?

well I don't mind it when I am home and everything. I get my diaper changed alot by someone else. When I go out in public it gets embarrassing for me. Like when I am in the Mall mom will say I time it is time to change your diaper. Of course she always carries around a diaper bag with her. I always wear a diaper when I go out. I hate having to wear a onesie that snaps between my legs. I got a car seat for me to sit in while I am in the car. It has a five point harness setup. I am 12 and always been in disposable diapers. I just out of wearing Luvs diapers. No I have not tried cloth diapers yet.

 I get my diaper changed a lot to mostly by mom but sometimes my older sister(who is 15) changes them a lot to. My aunt reccomended diapers to my mom when i was 7 now im 10 because i wet my pants and the bed at her house and now my mom changes my diaper in public on changing tables. On plane rides she makes me and my sister ride in the back and if i have a accident my sister takes me too the bathroom and changes me. I also have to have a waterproof carseet a portiable changing mat and a diaper bag at all times. People tesed me alot at school so i had to be homeschooled and about 2 times a night i get my diaper changed by the way i wear huggie diapers and i have to wear a onsy becuase my mom got tired of taking my shorts off. I also have to sleep in a crib becuase the waterproof didnt fit my bed. so you can say im treated like a baby. and one time i pooped in my diaper in bed at my school (before i was homeschooled) at naptime and my teacher changed in front of everyone. so i know wat your going through.

     I'm sorry your son had some type of psycological problems assiciated with his bedwetting and that he endured those years of wetting and waking up in that situation. My son is simply a very deep sleeper and still does not feel himself wetting or even needing to until it is over. Our choice of using diapers has been the proper one for us and I realize not everyone believes in doing that but it improved our lives in many ways. It is discreet and give him great protection and comfort through the night.

My main concern is that you are enabling his problem instead of solving his problem.

Imagine this if you will...  Every day you go into your son's room it stinks of pot & there are ashes all over the floor.  You are sick of vacuuming the floor every day & smelling the pot.  So, you buy him a bottle of air freshener & an ashtray. 

This is what it seems to me like you are doing when you put your son into the diaper.  His bladder needs to be able to tell his brain it's time to wake up and pee.  With the diaper & protection, his body knows he can just go whenever.  It's probably going to prolong the problem instead of solving the problem.  There are many different ways to help a late-term bedwetter instead of masking it.  One of my favorites is to set an alarm clock for early morning or whenever it seems he's likely to urinate.  Once it goes off, he goes to the bathroom & back to sleep.  Another good one is to buy a plastic sheet or even an air matress that can be cleaned up.  Late term bed-wetting is rarely forever, but you might be doing harm by training his body to urinate into the diaper and not wake up to go pee.

If diapering your son at night is what works best for you both then do so as long as it is necessary, others will disagree, but the important thing is what is right for you and your son.

      Thank you Bob for your support. The diapers have helped my son and I both so much with his bedwetting. I know others have no difficulty or other problem using diapers either.

I enjoyed reading your method of dealing with your son's bedwetting and totaly agree with it as I am nineteen and still am in diapers and plastic pants at night and was put back in them when i was maybe 12 because goodnights just didn't hold enough. Yes my Mom diapered me and still do's and this is because she can get them to fit better and I generaly have problems when I pin my own on. I put my own plastic pants on and then go to my bedroom and finish getting ready for bed. I don't think of it as any big deal and am gatefull to be able to sleep well and wake up in a dry bed in the morning. I think that what Rob said is true, "if it works then it is fine" Travis is lucky to have a great Mom

Hi,    i am also a teen just 16 from the U.K.  who also has wetting probs due 2 a traumatic experience when younger (and other probs)        Its no big deal having yr folks 2 asist with diaper changing if u cant manage,,,,,, i caught my fingers in the car door last year, pretty bad, when out on a day trip,    aunts who i live with had 2 do everything,   pin cloth diapers , put on plastic pants. was no big deal, even had 2 help with ordinary diapers.         I`m sort of ok now.   but still cant pin then tight enough, aunts say they droop when wet if i do it.

I think it's always good to exchange information and relate success stories, but one should at least be telling the truth. We're led to believe that Raylene still diapers her 15-year-old son. The name sounded familiar and, when checking the old Wetbusters bulletin board in the Parents' section, there was a post from Raylene dated 4-26-03 where she claimed she was diapering her "13-year-old son." Now, whether you do new math or old math, a 13-year-old in April 2003 would be 19 today, not 15. Or perhaps none of this really happened in the first place and we have been reading examples of very imaginative creative writing.

hay im 50 and like wen my girl like to put diapers on me a big diaper rubber pants then wen wet she chang me it is fun

Started wearing plastic pants and  diapers when i was only four years old, Im now 43 years old. I do not think i could make it one day without my plastic panties. My favorite color is pink plastic, and my favorite Leakmaster plastic panties are my youth size from fetware, im wearing a pair right now as im writing this.  

heeey whats your msn im 15 wbs

just tell them. they should know

you are full of CRAP. First of all diabetes type 1 is childhood diabetes not type 2. Type diabetes is caused by other health realate problems such by long term high blood perssure. Type 2 diabetes is the adult diabetes. Type diabetes you have from birth and is for life. Type 2 is aquired and can be stop or slowed by changing your eating. Second if you were on a battle ship in the Navy you would not doing any hand to hand combat fighting where you could get stabed by a bayonett. You are just full of what you say you do in your daipers poopoo.
