Bedwetters

I wet the bed until reaching puberty at 15 1/2 then I finally stopped. At 35 I had a medical problem and it started back up again. After the first wet bed and a visit to the doctor my S/O suggested I buy diapers until the problem stopped, 15 years later I am still wearing.

I wet the bed almost every night until I was 8. I stopped, having only occasional accidents until I was 12. At 12 I started again and still wet 5-6 nights a week. Diapers were normal in our family as most of us have small bladders.

I know that bed wetting is passed on through the family(heredity). I wet my bed until I was 9 and just about all my cousins on my fathers side of the family wet there beds too. Some of them wet at night up into there teens too. So this is another reason that bed wetting should not be punished for or frowned upon. It should be treated with patients and protection.

I honestly don't know why parents don't let there kids wear diapers or somthing i wet the bed and it was like i was doing it on purpose all i wanted is to wake up in a warm dry bed like i said before i got the nerve to buy diapers and got caught my mom made a big deal about it parents really suck

Everybody's different Sgtfortin, Sorry you had such a bad time. I think, it should have been what would have been more comfortable for you. It sucks waking up in a cold wet bed, full of piss! I guess though, there are allot of misguided reasons that a parent might not provide protection (diapers, training pants, pull ups, etc.) That don't mean they're bad parents either. Sometimes parents feel putting a child back in diapers for bed wetting, is making it to easy for the child not to be motivated to stop. They feel, it would just enable a child to keep bed wetting, and be to lazy to try and stop. This can sometimes be true, although I don't believe in making a child suffer in a wet bed to motivate them, if in fact they could be motivated to stop. A wet night time diaper can possibly do the same to motivate, with out the mess. There is also the idea for a parent, that they have failed in parenting, and don't want to appear they have a child with something wrong with them. Other people, especially family will always ask, what's wrong with your child, why is he still in diapers? This is a strong stigma for a parent, and just not to have this happen, they might refuse to use protection. Mindset being, better they think of my child a bed wetter, then being seen as a big baby still in diapers. None of what I'm saying is absolute, or the same for everyone. It's just some ideas that may explain why a parent may not give a child protection to wear. It's not meant to say what is right or wrong either. What is right for one person, may not be right for another.

I for a time, when I was young wet the bed too. It wasn't allot and it was between the time I was taking out of night time diapers, around age 3ish to about 6. I still remember how terrable it was waking up in the middle of the night sheets and underwear all wet. I wish, I would have had a diaper or maybe training pants to wear for those times. I don't think at the time, I would have liked the idea of having to wear a diaper like a baby. But, on the other hand I think I would have got to like it, once I was able to go right back to sleep and deal with changing when I got up. All my mother did was put a plastic sheet on the bed. It saved the mattress, but did little else for me. I still had to endure the wet bed. And I either had to lay in it till morning, all wet and cold. Or I would have to get up, go wake my mother up, and sometimes my dad unwittingly, but it was mom that had to deal with it. And you know the drill, back to my room to change everything, me included, three people awake and not in good spearits. It sucked! I grew to dread having to do just that, I knew it upset everyone. Now I look back, and wish all the more I would have had diapers to wear. And as I said, it didn't happen allot for me. It would have been so much worse if it was more often :'(

They would be upset if they knew you wore diapers for your bed wetting? Because, that really stinks!!! If it makes you feel more comfortable and better able to deal with the wetting, why not? I had a short bout with bed wetting when I was small, but I still remember it very well! It would be about 37, 38 years ago, but I can still remember. I had a plastic sheet on the mattress for my bed wetting. It saved the bed, but did little for me. The sheets and my clothes were all still wet, not fun having cold wet self in the middle of the night. Then I had to wake my mother, and make the poor woman get out of her bed and sleep to get me fixed up. I know in the process, I woke my dad up too, not good! I probably wouldn't have been to keen on it at first, but I think diapers would have been much better for all. And yes, even though I liked diapers even then, it would have taken some getting use to.

Yeah, eventhough it was the doctor who advised wearing diapers in the beggining as soon as the bed-mats came out my parents biught them, and you cant say anything because then they would be suspicious

I had been a bed wetter until I was 21.Diapers and a kind mother saw me through this episode. Now I can do it whenever I feel a thrill coming along.

I am a bedwetter but never use diapers I would if it wasen`t fot my mother she wants me to use plastic protection instead in my bed

I wet my bed until I was 9 and I don't remember it being a big issue about doing sleep overs with friends. I did go visit my cousins and they for the most part were bed wetters too. So after bath time my Aunt would put us all in cloth diapers and plastic pants. We also had on our PJs and there was a definite diaper bulge on all of us. I think my Aunt put diapers and plastic pants on me until I was around 12 when we would make our semi annual visits. This again has led me to what I am today. A lover of cloth diapers and plastic pants. Or why else would I be here at this great site! And I would not have it any other way either!

Well there is nothing much i can do, the only thing i can do is keep my bedsheet dry by wearing diaper 😢

The strange thing is that I didn't wet the bed at all as a kid. I stopped around 4 years old, then at 16 it just sprung up out of nowhere. I wet the bed for four or five weeks straight, and never thought to wear diapers at night. I've always had a curiosity about them, and a girl I dated got me into them sexually. It's good that I don't mind wearing them so I put one on in case I wet the bed.

Hey Donna Jean;

Guess what ? You just answered your own question about how to be a bed wetter by admitting that you already wet your bed.

Congratulations on wetting your bed. Isn't it great to know that there are other adult babies out there that wet the bed. I'm never going to spend another night without a wet bed, I love to drink milk before bed, then brush my teeth, and just before I fall asleep, I pee in my diaper, and in the morning, I pee again.

I wet my bed until 6, stopped and came back at 12. I remember when I was younger, getting spanked and diapered for bed. I think the most vivid memory, was of being diapered on the kitchen table

infront of the others. I remember how it seemed official that I was a baby, when the rubber pants where put on.

So humiliating then, but oh so sought after now. I find it very odd, that the things that were so humiliating and haunting at the time, become engrained as a sorce of comfort later on.

Ah the mysteries of the human mind.....somethings are better left as a mystery. IMHO

As far as I'm aware I was dry at night by the time I was 7 my mum just told everyone I was a late developer. But then when I was 13 my father died and I had some other problems as well my mum put me back into cloth diapers which I wore until I was 19. Now I wear through choice. There was one occasion when I went back to stay at my mothers house for a few days whilst waiting to move in to a new flat I was 21 at the time and she insistend on a plastic sheet on the bed and that I wore a diaper it was great it made me feel young again. she even came in in the morning with a cup of coffee for me and asked to check my diaper. That was a special moment. 😃And yes it was wet but this time I had done it on purpose.

I wet my bed as a child until I was 9 and wore cloth diapers and plastic pants for it. I started to wet my bed again some years back and now am back in cloth diapers and plastic pants. 😃

:😃 Well it's about 4 polls in this one. I'm a male\boy\toddler that wears diapers every night because I wet the bed. My wife hates waking up in a wet bed so she makes sure I'm diapered before I go to bed. I have wet the bed for as long as I can remember. I wet the bed when I was 5 or 6 because my mother used to spank me for doing it. 😮 She would threaten me with diapers but she never did diaper me but she did my sister. Drats missed out on that one. 😁 My wife still spanks me sometimes and says I'm a little baby pissy boy. But that's because I wet my pants sometimes also. 😉

I am a male and I wet my bed 'til I was 13. Now I wet the bed occasionally because I can't afford washing diapers every second day. I have about 2 doz. cloth diapers with soakers sewn in and it cost me $3.00 to wash and dry my diapers and I also live in an apartment building so I worry that someone would find my diapers and plastic panties if I was late in taking them out of the washer or dryer. It has happened more than once that I saw my diapers piled on top of the dryer either still damp from being in the washer or after they were finished drying. But so far no one has said anything

Thumper I just take my diapers to the local laundromat. I also live in an apartment too and have found my diapers on top of the dryer too waiting to be dried. I is so much easier for me to take them and wash them and keep an eye on them at the laundromat. I even fold them up and put them in my laundry basket there too. 😃

This pole was very hard to answer completely. I am male, over 20. I was a bedwetter until I was almost 17, and I was put in diapers every night for it. They were always cloth diapers and plastic panties, and they were always put on me by my aunt, one of my cousins, or a babysitter.

I have an odd bedwetting history. I was about four when I stopped bedwetting; physicians consider that a normal age to stop. But all of a sudden I turned 16 and I started bedwetting again. I was way too embarrassed to talk about it at a time so I never sought advice or went to buy diapers. After about a month, it stopped again. I wet again a few times in my adult years and it didn't bother me until last year. Around September, the accidents started getting more frequent at 22 years old.

I've figured out my bedwetting problem is caused by stress and caffeine intake. the caffeine I've been able to curb, but a stressful day will still make me wet at night.

Bedwetter here growing up also. To start it was just a plastic sheet on my bed but after getting diapered at the hospital for a stay there, I got diapered at home as well. It was alot better than waking up in a cold wet bed. My cousin had to wear them also as well as my best friend so it was not too bad.

I was lucky enough to have an understanding Mom so diapers and plastic pants were the order of the day. Just imagine how many bedwetters are wearing goodnites or underjams diapers tonight and how they feel about it! Will we be able to be understanding of them?

I wetted the bed until 5-years and then had to later on in life.

I dont exactly know how i got into this interest but i use to wet the bed/pants a couple of times as a kid

I have been a bedwetter all my 43 years of life. I can only remember wearing underwear to bed one time when I was 7. My Aunt was watching me at my house one weekend because my parents were out of town. The first night I had fallen asleep while watching TV so my Aunt just but me in bed. She took my pants off but didn't diaper me. I woke up soaked and the bed was soaked. My Aunt was mad and to punish me she kept me in diapers the whole weekend. We've haven't seen eye to eye since.

Hi Sad,

I've worn diapers to bed for 43 years now. They are just part of my night attire. Unless you advertise you're a bedwetter, there isn't anyone one to be embarrassed by. I admit there are times that it would be easier if I didn't wet the bed but this was the hand I was dealt so I do what I have to do and go on. Most important know you are not alone by a long shot. And feeling like a toddler may be a good stress outlet so just go with it.

If you don't like the plastic sheet, they make good protective covers that are waterproof but don't have the plastic feel or noise.

You didn't say if you wear cloth diapers or disposables but it sounds like cloth diapers. I mostly wear Attends but occassionally wear cloth with plastic pants and they sag when they're soaked. I have an onesie to wear with my cloth diapers which helps the sagging but it might make you feel more like a toddler which is not a bad thing but might add to your unpleasent feelings.

You also don't say how old you are which isn't but you have to know there are much worse things than having to wear diapers to bed.

Hope I helped.

I've wet the bed all my life. My parents weren't mean about it but could have been more discreet. I mostly wore cloth diapers and palstic pants until I was about 6. I know I was in school because the bus stop was in front of our house. The back yard was clearly visable as was the clothesline. It was common to get off the bus and see my diapers and plastic pants drying on the clothesline. All the other kids saw it as well. I also had pampers for when we went camping or I stayed at my grandparents and they were out in the open on top of my dresser for anyone who came into my room to see. When it was time to be diapered for bed, I was diapered in the living room so whoever was there got to see. Thankfully it was only relatives. My mom and I went on trip with my aunt and two cousins. We left about 5:00 in the afternoon and would be driving through the night so I was diapered when we left and wore them the whole 14 hour trip. My mom kept two clean pampers in the rear window, I was changed twice on the back seat while my cousins waited outside the car. I was 4 months away from being 8. When I was 8 my mom taught me to change my own diaper. I thought this would help be more discreet but it wasn't. I would be at the store with my mom and she'd ask me loudly if I had enough diapers. By the time I was 9 I was tired of everyone knowing I wore diapers so I decided to by my own from allowance and grandparent money. In the mornings when I heard my dad get in the shower I would change into a dry diaper and go back to bed until it was time for me to get up. In the mornings, my mom always checked my diaper to see if I had wet. She was happy to finally start finding dry diapers. Occassionally I'd not hear my dad or just be too tired to change and my mom would find me wet. I know now that it was probably better that way so she didn't get suspicious about suddenly being dry every night. About a month later my mom brought a box of pampers into my room that she had just bought. I remember her telling me that if I was dry at least 10 out of 12 (that's how many pampers were in a box)mornings, then I wouldn't have to wear diapers anymore and we would deal with the occassional wet bed. I showed her 11 dry diapers in 12 days. I was now independent with my bedwetting.

I continued wearing pampers but quickly started to grow out of them. I was at the point of using duct tape to hold them on. I accidently discovered "incontinent briefs" one day because a box was open when I walked by it in our drug store. I started wearing youth attends.

I'm 43 now and Attends are still my diaper of choice only size medium now.

Hey Pitallen, thanks for sharing your story and memories, I gave you a karma point. I would have to guess there was no explaining away the reason for diapers and plastic pants on your wash line back when you were 6, no younger siblings? I wet the bed around that age too, but only had a plastic sheet. I knew I liked diapers and plastic pants even back then, but would not have liked the exposure, like what you went through. I think I would have been better off in diapers however.

Thanks Luvs, no younger siblings just two older sisters and if there was a question about who's diapers they were, my sisters were sure to let everyone know.
