Interesting post above, and I can verify the facts of that as my first wet bed was with the help of an evening of drinking, maybe one or two to many. In any case, that may have pushed me over the cliff, but I was already diagnosed with OAB and starting to dribble during the day due to prostrate issues, so this may have been the straw that broke the camels back as they say on that fateful night. Since that point, I have been wearing protection of various degrees to bed every night, to satisfy my wife. I have had a few minor leaks since, adjusting my level of protection a bit as a result up until my last, and most aggressive prostrate surgery, where the majority of it was removed using laser. After that, my night time protection increased to full time diapers, initially cloth with boosters to manage the night, as I had no control of my urine during the night as I slept, and in the day, I had short notice to find a potty, or flood my daytime pads. After about 6 mos, my day time issues got better, but night was still the same, if I wanted to get any sleep that is. These days, I still have a drink or maybe two at dinner or in the evening, so that I can sleep well through the night, but every morning I wake with very wet diapers, but a dry bed due to the level of protection I have adopted to keep my wife happy.

As someone who has had a couple of prostrate procedures done now, I can attest to the lack of continence following the procedures. In the first procedure, the REZUME that I had done, a smaller portion of my prostrate was removed, and the incontinence was mild, lasting only a few days. The second more recent and more radical procedure removing most of my prostrate was a Green light laser, very similar to a TURP, and the incontinence lasted months, with the night time wetting continuing more than a year latter, and I expect lasting rest of my life. I should add that I am an old fart, well through my 7th decade, so that may be part of this issue as well!

For the past several months, I have been using up all my older products that were tried, and failed to give me enough protection, as boosters in my overnight diaper. Its amazing how much these thin pullups add to my diaper package capacity. I also use my day pad if not too wet, so I sometimes have a package of pullup, pad, and Tena super under my urethane diaper cover. Some mornings this diaper seems like it weighs 8 lbs, but that would be about a gallon of wee, and even on worst nights, doubt that could happen.

During the day, its pads inside my panties. If traveling, its a good pullup sometimes with a PUL cover over it. At night when home, I use a heavy diaper package with urethane bloomer covering it for protection even on the wettest nights. When traveling, I use an overnight pullup with a good PUL cover over it and force myself to get up several times at night to avoid heavy wetting.

I wear a loose nylon tank top, my diaper package, and by insurance urethane bloomer over that. Summer or winter, this works best for me.

I was on a week long cruse early this year, and had to leave my cloth diapers home. I had gotten some good pullups to use, but did not sleep all that well for the entire week, as was up several times during the night as insurance. Once back home, my wife suggested that i try to use up my supply's of disposables that had accumulated over the years, prior to going back into the cloth diapers I have. As I was going through some of these, I had a leak one night, and she was not happy but I mentioned that was why I switched to cloth. Well the result of that was that I was told to find some better diaper covers for the disposables, and I ordered a Urethane bloomer to try. A bit warm, but a solid insurance package. I have had some really wet nights, but never a drop leaked past my insurance package, the bloomer over my typical snug diaper cover. It worked so well that I was asked to reorder some of my night time disposables, the Tena Super that I tape on over my thin collection of first try items, and continue to use up what was left of my thin pullups, as well as the case of belted pads that I had on the shelf. An interesting footnote, we have been away for a few nights since that week early this year, and I have taken my overnight pullups for the trip. In every case, I sleep terrible, getting up several times overnight. Upon returning, it takes me several nights to get back to a good sleep pattern, where I am able to sleep through the night without waking up to use the bathroom. Not sure why that is, but am glad after a few nights in my own bed with my insurance package on I can sleep like a baby again!

Years ago, when I was still working, I was driving to a meeting some distance away on an interstate, and wearing a diaper as I was typically by that time when away from a toilet for any amount of time. Well in this case, I felt the urge to do a poopie and noticed a rest stop coming up which I planned to stop at and head in quickly. Well, it was closed for construction, and next was about 25 miles away. Didn't make it and had a very loose dump to sit in for the distance, pulling up to the rest stop to change, without any wipes in my bag. I found my diaper had leaked a bit onto my pants to top it off, managed to clean up with TP as best as I could. Got back into my car and drove another hour to my hotel, and noticed the smell I had as a result of my accident. When checking in, I saw the desk clerk noticing something, and I mentioned I was at an animal barn prior and was glad to get to my room to clean up! Not nice when not expecting this to happen!

So send it back. Very easy on Amazon. I have 3 drop locations within 5 minutes of me, and several don't even require the product to be packaged

That's so sad as this story had so much promise. I wonder if it can be continued by someone other? I might be interested in writing a few more chapters if that is allowed, preferably with original authors agreement if he is still around? That's so sad as this story had so much promise.

I sleep in what my wife calls my "sleep shirt" which is a woman's nylon tank top, it is loose enough around my arm pits to keep me from sweating, but warm and comfortable enough for a good sleep. Down below of course is my diaper and a urethane or in some cases a Gary diaper cover. Originally that served the purpose quite well until one night I had a small side leak, my wife was not happy! Since that time, I have added a urethane bloomer style cover as insurance and have never had another leak. It is a bit sweaty underneath all that, but the diaper is soaked generally so not much difference.

I have had more than 60% of mine removed with laser surgery, and continuance was difficult to retain after that. It took almost 4 mos to regain some control during the day, but even after more than a year, when the urge comes, it is into a bathroom within a minute or so if I want to keep my pad dry. Even than, I start to dribble almost immediattly. Night time it has been diapers ever since, but prior to that I had been already using as occasional bedwetting had already started. So careful what you wish for, as once it is part of your life, there is no going back!

For some bed wetting just happens, especially in older age and with a bit of help from drinking a bit more than normal on occasion. For me with a OAB diagnosis already in my 5th decade, and some prostrate work starting in my 6th decade, the new experience of wetting the bed should have been anticipated. In any case, after that first incident, my wife insisted that I wear appropriate protection to avoid the laundry for her, and that has also evolved over time to where I am now, using a combination of diapers and diaper covers good enough to insure that my bedding stays dry even as its a daily event now to wake up with soaked diapers The key is finding the proper diaper cover, and after trying about everything, and getting a few minor leaks along the way, I have settled on what I call my insurance package, that is a bloomer style urethane pant that goes over my typical diaper cover necessary to keep the diaper in place, and with that extra protection, I have had no leaks for more than 6mos while using a combination of disposable diapers that I have accumulated that were not very good on their own.

A great story, I was a bit concerned about leaving him alone for his nap, secured into his crib while everyone was away from the house. Not good in the case of an emergency! In any event, I am wondering now if his night time bottle has a bit extra in it to make him fully use his diapers since he has no means of getting out of them. A few nights of this treatment and he will be doing this on his own without any outside help I would expect. Great story, I look forward to next installment.

slowly working through my stash of disposables with insert pads from day use that I have acquired for night use, and than will be back to cloth again unless wife objects to the extra laundry cycles each week- in any case, can't go without diapers when going to bed!

I have learned that for night time use, the only method that is guaranteed to not leak is a combination of a good snug waterproof pant over my diaper to keep it in place, followed by a bloomer style over that that goes from my mid thigh to well above my diapers for someone like me that rolls around through the night, from side to side!
