Waking up to pee, diapers anyone?

[Luvschild]

Anyone here that’s past their mid 20s most likely have the same issue I do. I can’t sleep through the night anymore without have to wake up 1 or more time to pee. On top of this I have a hard time going back to sleep after I wake up. 
 

So quite a few months ago now(I honestly don’t remember how long it’s been) I started wearing diapers to bed every night. Now if I have to pee in the middle of the night, I can just wet my diapers without waking myself up fully. 
 

I’m just curious if anyone else wears diapers at night for this reason. I honestly feel like if I run out of diapers, I won’t be able to get as good of sleep.

@Luvschild:  Recommend you have your PSA / Free PSA numbers checked and also possibly have a DRE (digital rectal exam) to make sure you are getting early onset BPH.....  Might not be that, but could be.  Probably should discuss with your doctor, and maybe a Urologist.

WARNING: Continue doing what you are doing, and you may end up needing diapers at night to keep the bed dry.... (i.e. sleeping through the event).

Take care....

Been doing that for years.  But I never had any problem with having to get up in the middle of the night except on very rare occasions.  It wasn't until I was in my late 40's where I was needing to pee 2 or 3 times through the night.  But this was primarily due to my sleep apnea and not quite yet due to age.   So, already being in the habit of wearing to bed at night became quite the life saver as it helped avoid losing even more sleep having to get up.  Since getting on treatment for the apnea, I find I don't need to pee as much at night - usually one time, sometimes twice, but sometimes not at all.

Yes I wear every night an wake to pee and just go back to sleep 

[Rachel1]

When i do wear at night i do wake to pee but just use diaper go back to sleep. its imposable not to hold back through the night, i have too wake, as my body been naturally Trained to hold back. But still i would hate to be incontinent.

I'm in diapers every night, I was a trained bedwetter.

In the beginning stages I would wake up with a full bladder, wet my diaper, and go back to sleep.

Nowadays, I just wake up to a soaked diaper.  When it first started happening it was really exciting.

 

Diapers allow me to get really good sleep with extremely vivid dreams,

I have no plans to re-train myself not to need them and will likely need them forever.

The only challenges are sleepovers with friends or family, but it's managed with proper planning, and limiting nightly fluid intake.

I'll still wake up wet but I decrease my chances of leaking and it makes disposal easier because the diapers aren't filled as much.

I sleep in diapers, not cause I need to pee during the night, but cause I might have to pee before I fall asleep.
Also for when I wake up early and don't feel like getting up, so I pee and fall asleep again. 
One could say that is waking up during the night, but the reason isn't cause I need to pee.

I think you did the right thing, wearing diapers to bed. So feel happy you managed a situation and can now sleep better at night. If you are lucky you dont wake up at all at some point.

 

I do however always recomment a doctors opinion about the changed situation. Dont be afraid he or she thinks something about you wearing diapers. The doctor doesnt care.

[Little BabyDoll Christine]

At my age, what do you think?

And, yes, it is on the table as a nightly thing of which the probability  is rising

I have been wearing diapees at night since my lower back injuries about 10 years ago. I take sleep aids and it really knocks me out. If i wake up needing to pee i just go in my diaper and go back to sleep. To me, there's nothing more satifying that waking up with a wet diaper and having no recolection of peeing. This morning i woke about 5:00 and was soaked with warm pee. It must have just happened. I was so turned on that i masurbated to orgasm in my warm wet diaper.

I wear every night. I have urge incontinence and nocturia. I was wearing diapers during the day, but getting woken up urgently needing to use the loo during the night. The urgency plus the trip to the loo meant it was difficult to get back to sleep and, as I might need to pee three or four times it wasn’t exactly helping my fatigue!!

Diapers have really helped. Now I often can’t remember peeing - which really shows how relaxed I am. My sleep’s definitely improved - and I wake up in a soaked diaper!! 

[carsfan]

I've done this since about a year into Covid. Often I don't remember peeing at night and wake up in wet diapers.

I can testify that this is true. I started wearing diapers to bed about 6 years ago, mainly because I enjoyed it, and I wasn't "out" with my wife about it yet, so it was the only place I could wear diapers for hours a day, basically. I "came out" to my wife about 5 years ago and have been wearing diapers 24/7 since then, sleeping in them always, everywhere. My background is that I was a champion bedwetter when I was a kid, so I'm not sure if that affords me a lower barrier to entry than the common man or not, but, here's the progression, more or less: I'd wake up sometimes, needing to pee, and I'd roll onto my back (safest position in a disposable), and wet, then fall asleep. 

Then, I started waking up, letting myself pee, and falling asleep almost right away, often before I was done, but I still had to wake up to get the process started. 

Then, I started occasionally waking up wet and not remembering allowing it to happen, usually after drinking, but I was reliably leak-free, ergo, I was still repositioning to pee, even if I didn't remember doing so. This was happening very intermittently - sometimes once a week or once every week and a half, sometimes three times a week. 

Then, "the incidents" began happening - I'd wake up extremely well-rested but lying on wet sheets - I'd wet while I was lying on my stomach or on my side, and disposables aren't great with those positions. This past weekend, I wet a fold-out couch mattress at a rented cottage, which luckily had a waterproof cover on it, but it was still very close to being extremely embarrassing - I was loading the laundry machine at 4 am, creeping around like a burglar. 

So, I have come to terms with the reality that I should probably be wearing plastic pants if I'm sleeping anywhere outside of home base, which is not deeply convenient - I go on golf trips with buddies at least a couple of times a year, where we rent a condo... I'll have to be wearing plastic pants under my shorts? Not looking forward to that. But, you play silly games, you get silly prizes, a good friend of mine has said. I put myself back in diapers, in my 40's, and here I am, once again a bedwetter, a problem I left behind me when I was somewhere between 10 and 11 years old.

I have been waking up more recently and struggling to actually pee. It has gotten frustrating. I wish I could just pee in my sleep and not get disrupted!

I still wake up to pee, and have to stand up to do it, too. I've yet to master wetting my diaper in the prone position.

Spreading your legs out like a frog helps, but its still not always easy!

OK...I'll give that a try.

[Cruiser 03]

Wetting and messing happens without any awareness or participation required when sleeping .

[wetbedmo]

I sometimes wake up 4or5 times a night to pee but my psa is fine, but it might be because I sometimes have some coffee after dinner, so when I can wear a diaper I just wake up and go.

I tried that this afternoon. And it worked! Thanks for the tip.🖕

I was reminded of this thread this week when an older colleague said that he now gets up five or six times a night to use the bathroom, and he's constantly exhausted as a result. The real solution to that issue is for him to go get a TURP procedure, basically Roto Rootering his prostate so that it doesn't obstruct his urethra, causing him to perpetually empty only the top 1/3 of his bladder when he goes pee. However, he said "That can lead to incontinence, and if that happens, then I want MAID, asap..."

MAID being medical assistance in dying, which is legal, and free, in Canada, although I don't know if they'd green-light assisted death for leaky plumbing alone. 

Ironically, the other solution, if the idea of a TURP terrifies you, would be... to wear diapers to bed. At least you wouldn't have to get up several times a night. And, if my experience is any guide, what tends to happen is, after a while, you barely wake up when you need to pee, and then you fall asleep while doing it... and then, after a while, you don't wake up. The fatigue problem is therefore solved. 

If only we could tell people these things...

I, too, have trained myself to bedwet. It doesn’t happen every night, and it’s usually pretty light, but I rarely wake up in the night to wet. Either I’m already wet by morning or I’m completely dry.

@Little Sherri:  There are better options than the old TURP if one just needs to open up things from BPH.  I've had Rezūm procedure as an example.

[munkey]

I remember when I used to wake up to pee.  Now that’s not a thing anymore, however, I do wake up in wet diapers now. 🤭

[Dubious]

I would choose incontinence over having to get up to pee every night, many times a night. 

I'm fairly sure the doctor would give me foley catheters, pretty much making me incontinent. 
(If there is no other solution.)
