I agree. I rotate several pair and I always wash out with warm water. I only launder them every couple of weeks.

Excellent point ! :) I never remember any other kids bragging about it either-LOL. However when only two boys live across the street, both a couple of years older than you, and there are multiple pairs of plastic pants and cloth diapers drying on the clothes line- kind of a give away.

I was born in the late 80's and as I continued to struggle with bedwetting as a teenager, my mother would buy me adult sized plastic pants and other bedwetter garmets from a place called Comco in Minnesota. They had a mail order catalog and then later a website. The plastic pants came in a variety of color and styles and were very effective in stopping leaks from disposable diapers and as well as being plastic covers for cloth diapering. There are still some Comco plastic pants in my dresser at my parents.

I was diapered and in plastic pants at night until I was about 6. Never was "warned" because I always wore them being an every night bedwetter. From the age of 6 to about 11 I wore goodnites every night-again because I was an every night wetter. At about the age of 11 I was starting to become to big for even the largest goodnite. By then I was experiencing some dry nights. My mom bought me adult pull-ups and properly sized plastic pants and put them in a dresser drawer. I could choose to wear them or not, but if I did not and experienced a bedwetting, it was my responsibility to do my own clean up, wash etc. So I didn't wear diapers for a period and woke in soaked in my share of wet beds. While my bedwetting continued to diminish into my teens, I was till wetting the bed more nights than not. So I started wearing the diapers again full time around the age of 13, Just seemed like a lot less drama.

I have no painful memories of name tags. Quite the contrary. I had forgotten my mom sewing them (later sticking them when they came with peel and stick high tech glue) on everything when I was a kid, camp or not. I think she stuck them on my plastic pants for camp so they could be properly sorted in the wash. Thank God the counselors discretely retrieved them from laundry and placed them inside the foot of my bed with a clean pull up nightly. I was in cloth diapers at night until I was about 6. Later as a teen I had a couple of pair of velcro closing cloth diapers. But since i left home, only disposables since I don't want to deal with the wash and storage. I could not imagine cloth diapers at camp. I think it would be very hard to keep that a secret for long. Exactly - for the under 9 or 10 crowd, bedwetting was not that unusual. Perhaps not every night, but over 14 days-many suffered and accident or two. And I felt sorry for those kids, since for many it really was an accident-due to strange surroundings, scary stories, homesick, etc. and they neither expected it or came prepared for the result. Thus their beds were stripped etc. and their pee soaked night clothes washed and hungout to dry. All of the beds in our cabin were protected with a plastic/vinyl encasement-so at least the mattresses did not have to go outside.. But I thought it was common enough that I often use the expression "like a 9 year old the first night of sleep away camp" to describe a bedwetting episode.

The 90's for me. i can remember waking up and sitting around in my room-still in my wet night diaper- doing AOL instant messaging with all my friends.

Yes- A badge of honor at summer camp for those poor souls where it really was an unfortunate accident or they were living in denial. A yes- name tags, I forgot about those. Every piece of clothing at camp had to have a name tag sewed in. Never thought about cloth diapers. In my day, disposables had been invented. But cloth diapers with your name sewed in-identifying the user should it get misplaced-there is no coming back from.

My parents used to send me to the same summer camp for 3 weeks ever summer from the ages of 8-13. I probably did not stop wetting my bed nightly until about the age of 11 or so and thereafter it was still quite frequent. So summer camp was always an adventure. The good thing about camp is that all of the mattresses in every cabin were protected with light weight zip in covers (since I suspect bedwetting "accidents" at camps are fairly frequent) so you were not automatically outed by the existence of one on your bed. My parents sent me with an ample supply of pull-up diapers (goodnites until I was about 10 and some small adult diaper pull ups after that) and a couple of pair of plastic pants. The counselors were discrete and in the know and in the mornings I would leave my wet pull up and used plastic pants in a zip plastic bag inside my bed at the bottom and at night, clean plastic pants and a pull up would be waiting in a clean plastic bag which I would put on discretely while in bed. I wet almost nightly during the 6 years at camp and this system worked to perfection. I was aware of other bedwetters at camp during this time becasue they did not use plastic pants and their beds would be wet from time to time.

Since you were never chronic as a kid/teen, what made you start bedwetting as an adult?

I hope very few. A few X-Girl friends who I hope and think have been discrete and my immediate family and their spouse.

I tried a Northshore Megamx brief for the first time last night. When you wet it it gets very warm. I think whatever chemical they use for the material that creates the absorption creates a lot of heat. Does anyone know anything about this?

I always wear a pull-up while flying. Have only used it a few times over the years, but just one airplane pants wetting would be horribly embarrassing. One has to wonder how many people, women in particular, are flying padded.

My mother never said it, but actions speak louder than words. I am pushing 31 and that rubber sheet is STILL on my bed at my parents house. I have to admit that it is proven useful in a couple of visits home. Some mothers know best.

I always had a rubber sheet on my bed, under the bed sheet, even when I was hardly wetting the bed in high school. The fact that I never entirely stopped and had more than the occasional accident was reason enough for my mom to leave the sheet where it was.

I assume your pull up plastic pant is covering some sort of absorbant diaper product. If you are leaking that frequently out of plastic pants, I suspect they may be too tight and not sized properly. Try a larger size.

Jimmy: Do any of your siblings still have bed wetting issues? Angela: Was there some event that caused you to lose day control?

I understand the Aderall- but what is the rest of it? Or is that the medical name for what we call Aderall?

Yes- I understood that. I was inquiring WHAT medicine caused it. Would like to avoid.

What does incontinence medication induced mean?

Excellent point. Peed pants in public are hard to come back form

As I have said before- Very little goes on in a teenagers bedroom that Mom is not aware of :) I am sometimes amazed at the discretion they showed regarding "boy stuff". With the DDAVP my mother tried to ween me off diapers at night. For about the first year, even though the DDAVP worked for the most part, I would intentionally have a major wetting from time to time-because I did not want to lose the security I felt wearing diapers to bed. I suspect my mother knew more than she let on, but my top drawer was always well stocked with properly fitting "night wear"

Did your parents ever figure that out? Also, I don't think I would have taken the DDAVP if I did not need it. Used to get headaches and always had a upset stomach in morning.

I stopped being chronic around the age of 12-13. Never totally stopped. Was fairly dry through high school because my parents had me on DDAVP, but when I started college I stopped using it so much and the bedwetting returned , although not every night.

I wet the bed on the 5th grade overnight trip to Sacramento our school took to see the state capital. It was humiliating.
