As I have been reading these post I have been woundering something.How many of you had rubber sheets on your beds?I have not anyone say anything about a rubber sheet.

I grew up with a rubber sheet on my bed and had it until I was 17. My mom always put an absorbing pad on top of it but under the main bed sheet. That pretty much stopped the sweating. When we visited my grandmothers place in the summer though she just used a full mattrass size rubber sheet under the regular sheet and bedwetting caused serious puddling  I now use fitted plastic sheets but always use an absorbing pad too.

No, if I even wake up in a wet diaper I’m going to change, a wet bed and I’m remaking my bed (I keep backup literally every for my bed)

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 never had a rubber sheet but a plastic one and latterly a fitted "Sandra" mattress cover. My Mother kept it on my bed until I left home. Even though I had all but stopped wetting the bed her opinion was "Once a bedwetter. Always a bedwetter"

A good example of "better safe than sorry" I think. Ive read that those who are overage bedwetters are more likely to later have accidents after they stop nightly wetting. I remember having my first accident after I was thought to be "dry" and I was really upset about it. Oddly my mother was very humane about it. I expected to be scolded but instead she said "Your doing well and have to expect setbacks." I think mothers often know. My father was less patient. Becoming reliably dry in my sleep was a struggle right into my 20s.

Never, ever, did I wet the bed until the mid 30's and still do. For some of us, it's not an option. Haven't wet the bed for the last couple weeks as somehow the disposable is catching it.

I wet very heavily at night so often wake soaking wet . My bedwetting ame back in my late 40's. By the time I turned 50 I was back to wetting every night.

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.

Never, ever wet the bed as a kid. Now I do. A rubber sheet is mandatory!

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

Never, ever? Do you remember when was the last time you did wet the bed growing up?

According to my mom, after potty training, never ever.

Pooping is another story. I remember being picked up from school early as I had become ill. On the way home, I smelt it, didn't know I dealt it until it squished. That was enough to make me even sicker. Hate that "sick" smell.

My Mother always kept a waterproof ovn my bed "Once a bedwetter, always a bedwetter" was her saying.

I was taken out of nappies at 3 and just had a plastic sheet and a flannelette sheet on my bed. I had to learn to sleep in a very wet bed, but I did not like it. My mother thought that being wet would be so unpleasant that I would stop the wetting, not a chance!  At boarding school I had the red rubber sheet on my bed after the first night of wetting, it stayed there until I left at 17. I don't think I ever found it different from the plastic sheet, which was a 'Henley', just like yours, Stevewet. I do remember that it never stayed in place and the mattress used to get very wet and smelly, never used to worry me though. I was hooked on nappies from about 8 or 9 anyway

i had so many 'investigations' at numerous doctors/specialists/hospitals that I preferred to be a bedwetter thereafter and stop worrying about it.

I know exactly what you mean. I love sleeping in a bed smelling of weewee

To be/appear redundant, because it is, sleeping in a wet diaper is no problem BUT my pee stinks bad -- like rotten cabbage and skunk mixed together. YUK! I envy those who's pee smells like pee. Oh, how I miss the smell of ammonia in the morning!

I have that problem also, do you know what can be done about it. I might ask the continence people/nurse. Asparagus makes wee smell dreadful so I know to avoid it or smell the consequences. I think I wee as soon as I drop off to sleep so my wet nappy has many hours to get smelly, I also wee small amounts all night.

I can sleep through on wet sheets, but I try not to do it too much.  Granted, it took some practice to get used to it and some effort not to move around too much.  Now I can wake up, wet the bed, and fall back asleep on wet sheets.  I end up just waking up to my alarm and soaked sheets after that.

[WetDad]

In hearing that, I can remember doing similar things in my grade school and junior high years. I must have been quite a wetter, though I do not remember it.

Yeah, I hear that. It's called exhaustion. You get to a point where you just can't or don't want to mess with the mess, so you ignore it. I'll take care of the sheets in the morning and I'll do the laundry to boot. So, yeah, it can wait. Besides, I got a rubber sheet on the bed. Waking up to change the sheets and then trying to go back to sleep is a pipe dream (where the pipe is you dumping pee all over the bed).

If it happened to me or my wife Heather I'd try to talk her into wearing a diaper for sure. As for myself, I wear a diaper to bed almost every night anyway. To make it easier on both of you I'd just wear a diaper. Also, my apologies to all bedwetters. After starting to read the posts I forgot it was for you all.

[Latextom]

I’m a life long bed wetter and have always worn a diaper at night. I often sleep in a wet diaper but the bed itself is dry. I have a rubber sheet in case My diaper leaks.

[JamieJamie]

Growing up as a kid, I had rubber sheets and a vinyl backed pad under the sheets. There was no such thing as pull ups or Goodnites in the 80s and early 90s. When I wet the bed and if I woke up in the middle of the night, I just change my underwear and pj's, then grabbed a bath towel from the bathroom and laid it over the wet spot and go back to sleep.  Then in the morning, I'd pull the sheets, towel, and the pad off the bed and put them in the laundry room for my mom to wash them. 

 

If I was away at camp, I just let the sleeping bag air out since it was mostly nylon so it dries quickly. I'd wait til I get home from camp to wash the sleeping bag.  As for my wet underwear and pj's, I put them in a zip lock bag for laundering when I get home.  

Sorry if I’m in the wrong discussion form. Not a bedwetter and haven’t wet the bed since I was a tween. I don’t wish to become one but I can totally feel how you guys feel at your age.
