Wet Knight

Apparently as many as 40% of Autistic children (Mainly boys), have an associated bedwetting problem. About half are fortunate to dry around puberty. The rest of us are left to cope as best we can.

You are confused. While you may be able to smell an offensive effluvia from wiped polyurethane laminate (Poly-Urethane Laminated to cloth, hence PUL), Polyurethane Gary Euroflex (Clear PVC like plastic pants) do do suffer in the same way.

May I suggest wearing Polyurethane pants between you trousers and what ever underwear you use. It is breathable, so almost un-noticeable in hot weather and body heat dries out even quite large "dribbles".

By the age of 7, I had realised that wetting my bed every night, was routine and mundane. It still is, a lifetime later. There can still be things to aim for, keeping the mattress dry is a goal and achievement, thanks to my trusty rubber sheet. Also, the understanding, freedom and acceptance of being invited to sleep with another bedwetter, is exotic.

To tell you the truth @Wet Knight Do we really know anything that anyone says on this website? Like we are very secretive on here. and keep to ourselves. So really how do we know the truth from the false. @Eddie12. As a lifelong bedwetter, DL is a coping mechanism, but I've never really thought, that for a deliberately wetting AB, it must all be fantasy.

I liked Abi, she grew up only a mile from my prep-school. I wonder how much else I have missed in 9 months ? I hadn't thought that Tommy's husband might be real. I got cross with Tommy, because he said he wanted to see my Lotus sports car but never came up with a post code for the sat nav, which made me wonder why, as he seemed so keen. Some of what he told me was real because he knew that, someone that I knew who was a gay Doctor at a Bristol mental hospital, used to look after a mute, bedwetting boy at week-ends.

How did Tommy tell you, that he had died ?

I'd launch "Golden Diapers" as a brand, and get trump to endorse them.

I am a Bedwetter, so I have a "Wet Night".

How long has night time been like that ?

I would have put "Other" because of the inconvenience when going on vacation.

Surely, a wet bedpad is as easy to launder as a wet terry nappy.

"Waking up in a cold, wet bed" was probably widely taught at Medical Schools or possibly referred to in Paediatric articles of the Medical press, in the first half of the 20th century, because I remember a hospital consultant, our family doctor and the school doctor all recommending that it would help me to "Grow out of it". This must have suppressed demand, as from seeing and later hearing and reading about homemade rubber pants, it would seem that well into the 1950s, toddler and child sized babypants were not easily available.

Information is still sparse, but as it accumulates there is growing evidence that around 40% of Autistic children are bedwetters. This seems to drop of to 20% at puberty, but in UK, adolescent paediatric care ceases at 18 and those still bedwetting drop out of the system and have to cope as best they can. Thankfully, they have probably been able to squeeze into the largest size of Huggies until they can afford to buy adult bedwetting protection.
