I have a problem which I hope someone can help with. My husband (age 40) is an occasional and sporadic bedwetter. He has had this problem all his life and he is very sensitive about it. He might go several months without wetting and then wet 2 or 3 nights in a row. Doctors can find no cause. His wetting is very unpredictible but he probably wets about 15 to 20 times a year on average. We have a plastic cover on our mattress and he always washes the sheets after he wets. However, I find it frustrating never knowing when I am going to be awakened to a wet bed. I have insisted he needs to wear an adult diaper when we travel but I would really like him to wear one every night. He refuses because he says he is dry most nights and it is a waste of money. How can I convince him he really needs a night time diaper every night? Or does he?

I have been a bed wetter forever. Nightly until age 16 or so and now 4-5 nights a week. I used to beat myself up about it but once I turned 17 I just decided the diapers I had been using were more of a blessing than a curse. A plastic matters protector and cloth diapers with plastic pants handle the problem very well. Most importantly I quit being concerned about who knows and just treat it as a matter of fact issue and have found everyone I have told or have found out by seeing me in diapers, on trips, room shares, or whatever are pretty cool about it. Most will ask and when I tell them they just let it go. Oh the fact I was diagnosed with a neurogenesis bladder at age 21 also made the issue easier to accept knowing there was never anything I could do about wetting in my sleep. Attitude is everything.

Hi. I have been wetting the bed now for almost all my life, not every night but it is very embarrasing when I wake up and found that I have wet the bed. I woke up this morning all covered in pee. I felt bad because I have little siblings and they do not wet the bed but I am the one wetting the bed. I really ashamed to be doing this.

Posted by john o on 19/01/2012 at 09:17

hi the problem im having is i dont want to get up in the middle of the night to wee is there any pants or something i could wear so that i could just wee in bed

I have wet the bed all my life. I am 43yrs old and ,my husband recently died. It ruins my life as i cannot move on as the shame of telling a future partner is immence. I have tried all the drugs on the market and when i was a child had the bed alarms. I can go months with-out doing it and then i can wet the bed every day for a week. It is really getting me down and i am currently researching hoping to find a solution to my problem.

I suffered from bed wetting as a child. I wet the bed until age 12. Now, at age 51,the problem has resurfaced. I just don't understand. I thought that nightmare was over. It's so embarrasing. I have wet the bed three times in the past two weeks.

i am still peeing on myself, i am a 13 year old guy. what can i do?

Both my brother and I were bedwetters growing up. Back in the late 70's early 80's about the only thing avaiabale for bedwetters were cloth diapers and plastic pants which is what we wore. Our parents were good about not making us feel like babies because we were bedwetters, but thye did insist that we wear diapers and plastic pants (called rubber pants in our house) to bed. Bedtimes were normally about 8:00 and so somewhere after 7:00 mom would call us to her bedroom where she had the diapers and rubber pants ready. Once we had gone to the bathroom and put our dirty clothes in the wash we went to her room where one at a time we removed our underpants and climbed up on the bed and lay down. She would slip the diapers under us and than she put baby powder on us to keep us rash free, the diapers were pinned at the waist and when we were younger she would put the rubber pants on us, as we got older we would get off the bed and she would hand us the rubber pants and we would step into them and pull them into place over the diapers. Usually pj's or a nightgown were put on next, but in the hot weather we just wore the diapers and rubber pants. Even with the pj's on the rubber pants made noise when we moved so any guests knew we had them on. Kind of embarrassing when cousins or family friends kids were visiting. There were other kids we knew who were bedwetters to and the also wore diapers and rubber pants to bed. It was very common to see larger size cloth diapers and rubber pants hanging on clotheslines as they were the standard for bedwetting.

Hi steve about your question that my daughter wears nappies at nite . She is very happy to wear the protection provided , the main thing for my daughter is that she wakes up wet but not soaked from head to toe . It was a problem when she was younger but is now more open about it . Her boyfriend and close friends dont have a problem that she has a nappy . But a would say to anyone dont suffer in silence there is people out there in health centres who can help . good luck

Posted by Doug on 27/12/2011 at 03:45

just found this site and have read many of the posts. Another Doug wrote a post last year that could have been submitted by me. I have always wet my bed and like the earlier post had to wear thick cloth diapers with plastic pants until age 13. After that I was allowed to soak my sheets with a plastic matress protector so long as I took care of the mess in the morning. I also would usually wake up soaked at 3 am. And either change the sheets or move to the floor. I also would often wet again and either have 2 sets of wet sheets to deal with or face my mothers anger for wetting the carpet. I totally hated myself and my life and the fact my parents did little to keep my 3 non bed wetting brothers from poking fun at me about it. Strangely enough though when I turned 18 or 19 my attitude changed. I went back to wearing diapers at night and felt I truly had control over the situation. I felt so much better about myself and quit thinking there was anything wrong with me. For the first time I allowed an urologist to do a eurodynamic study on me and low and behold I was found to have a neurogenesis bladder which basically meant my bladder reacted basically like a babies does and all this time there was never anything I could have done to stop or control my bed wetting. I was actually tested for diabetes first because I told the Dr. I would usually have to go at least 20 times during the day and would often get slightly wet before I could get to a toilet. Well once I discovered my problem I began using disposables during the day also and quite honestly my stress level dropped dramatically and I feel great about life. The thought about wearing diapers is so much more threatening than it should be or need to be. I have no problem going to the Dr. Or even the fitness locker room removing or putting on a diaper. Absolutely no one has ever even commented about it. I think the problem with most of us with this challenge think the world around us will harshly judge or condemn us and the fact is most if not all the people I've encountered really could care less. I'm NOT saying surviving your teenage years as a bed wetter will ever be easy, but once people mature they seem to recognize we all have personal challenges and issues to deal with and react accordingly.

I have wee the bed all my life it embarrassed and i still doing it a bit i wet my self at the day time so i wear nappy two but wear do you get the cloth diaper and plastic pants from is the a number to ring to buy them dose anybody know ?

Posted by Steve on 18/12/2011 at 12:08

Can i just ask how dose your daughter feel about having to wear nappies at night? I'm 33 and have been bedwetter my whole life when i was in my teens i hated my problem and the nappies now i have accept the fact that i will always have to wear them. The one thing i find hard is dating i have alot of awful women who could not accept my problem. Steve Newcastle upon tyne

I intermitently wet the bed/diaper and it took along time before it stopped bothering me. My girlfriend doesn't mind me wearing diapers and I didn't need prompting to wear them as I felt it was worse waking up in a wet bed and also having to wake her up to change the sheets. Diapers are way better than a plastic sheet so if anyone is struggling with the idea of using them then I advise that you to start wearing them and you will get used to it and appreciate the wet diaper and dry bed.

Hi to the lady who has nite time bed wetting problems . I have a 19 year old daughter who wets the bed every nite . She uses pads / nappies which we get from the continence nursen at our local health centre . If your husband loved you enough to accept this is what you have to wear to bed then this is the soloution to dry nites . Good luck

For the last 3 years suddenly I started wetting the bed it would happen 1 or 2 nights at first but now its everynight. My husband and I tried buying a new bed as we had a water bed and thought that could be the problem. But it wasn't now our new bed is ruined from me as I just don't seem to wake up until it's too late. My husband is now in our spare bedroom and refuses to come into our room I don't blame him but it makes me feel even worst. I have tried everything to help me stop and I'm even losing weight if anyone has any ideas please help as I want to stop wetting the bed!

i wet the bed up to the age of 16

Posted by Frederick on 28/11/2011 at 04:07

I have had 4 cancer related operations in the last 4 years. I have worn a cathatar bag, and experienced on two occasions an enlarged prostate which blocked my urinary tubes. I have taken flomax and the end of the story is that after my last surgery I lost my memory of how to control my ability to urinate. I would occasionally wet myself, and would flood the bed during times of deep sleep. I have worn adult diapers and was despairing. Then, I decided to fight back . I started exercising my urinary control muscles by tensing and releasing muscles. I found that if I was working around a sink of water, the sound of water and feel of warm water would trigger me to release. So, I began to stand by the sink, and pour warm water on my hands, and tense my urinary muscles. I would then turn on the cold water tap and relax my muscles. I did this day in and day out and after a week or two, I found that my "water induced" sensation to urinate began to vanish. I then controlled the amount of liquid I was intaking late in the day. I would have one cup of tea after supper and that would be it. I would then stay up at night until I was certain that I had no liquid left in me to urinate. I discovered that it didn't take long for me to break the habit of urinating while I was sleeping.....for I had nothing to urinate. This gave me a great psychological lift. I found again that within about 5 days time, I was able to drink liquid later in the evening and go to bed earlier. What I was doing, was teaching myself on a deeper subconscious level. And yes....it worked.

Every now and then I dream of lakes and rivers,but wake up to a wet bed.I seem not to wet when I wear 'Drinights' and that gives me a misplaced confidence.I often wake up mid-stream but then it is too late.Am I the only guy of this age who still 'wets' the bed?

Posted by Optional on 16/11/2011 at 01:28

I have been wetting the bed most nights for the last three years. I was a bedwetter throughout my childhood and teenage years and again from my mid twenties. I suppose the tuth is I have never really been truly dry at night.

Posted by ecarter74 on 11/11/2011 at 08:52

I am glad to hear that other people have this problem too. I started wearing adult diapers and things have been better but I am looking for help to tackle this problem and fast!

I broke my back just over 12 months ago. I'm ver happy to be alive and walking and living a normal life. I'm having incontinence problems which I didn't find quite distressing at first but it really doesn't bother me too much now. I sometimes make it to the bathroom and sometimes I don't. There are very good products available to manage it and I really don't see the problem in wearing a nappy in the day or night. The molicares I use in the day are very thin but very absorbent and people cannot tell. I use thicker ones at night but who's there too see besides loved ones anyway. You don't need to be wearing cloth nappies and plastic pants. I couldn't think of anything worse and I'm not a baby. If I have bad eyesight I wear glasses. If I have hearing problems I'd use hearing aids. I have incontinence problems so I wear incontinence products. It makes sense to me. Things can be alot worse than this easily managed problem.

Posted by Optional on 15/10/2011 at 05:53

I wet the bed every 8 to 10 days on average. It is never the same, sometimes I see paterns of two or three wet nights in a row, and sometimes two weeks will pass without wetting.

Posted by Deb on 13/10/2011 at 11:50

Bedwetting runs in our family. I did it, cousins did it too. The family solution going back into the late 70's was to use cloth diapers and plastic pants. My mom and my aunts always had the diapers and "rubber pants" to use on those of us who wet the bed. Mom would start having me get ready for bed, brush teeth, bathroom, etc and she would get the diapers and rubber pants out. She folded diapers together to get the absorbancy that she wanted to insure that the bed would stay dry. These she would lay out on the bed and when I came into the room I climbed upon the bed and lay down on the diapers, they were pulled in place and pinned and the rubber pants pulled up. This went on nightly until age 13 and at first I hated the idea of having to wear diapers in bed. After awhile I got to the point of where I felt better knowing that only the diapers would be wet and the bed and pj's would stay dry. Family get togethers would see 4 of us cousins being put into diapers and rubber pants during the evening and at times like Christmas morning all 4 of us would rush to the tree with our wet diapers still on. There is a family picture with the 4 of us at the tree with the telltale diaper bulges showing under our pj's and the rubber pants showing above the waistband of our pj's.

I think drinking a lot of water during the day has worked well for me. I actually started drinking more water during classes to help keep my mind clear and fully functional, but without realizing it it has (probably) worked for bed wetting. I decided long ago not to sleep over at friends houses. I haven't ever wished to do so, so I don't really care. Nobody knows of my problem, except for my closest family members and a teacher from primary/elementary school. I'm 18 now and the bed wetting has reduced over the years. It now happens very rarely, and I mean rarely, about three times a month at most, with the occasional couple (or few) days in a row... As far as I know, it has only happened when I sleep for the night. Lately I've been having dreams of needing to urinate, and then I wake up and do so. My great grandfather died of prostate cancer. I wonder if I have or will have it too... It's just so embarrassing to find out (look it up if you don't know how it's done) but I'll just have to be brave D:

Posted by Optional on 19/09/2011 at 05:01

Hi, im a 19 year old guy that has been dealing with incontinence as well. I have to use diapers while i work, and poise pads around the house. My doctor told my that my condition is a birth defect and would only be a greater risk to try surgery.

Posted by susan on 18/09/2011 at 10:17

I wet my bed whenever I drink alkohol. I could understand it, when I'm really drunk, but it also happens after 3 glasses of wine or 2 beers. I'm very embrassed, because I'm young and like to go out with my friends. It's a better feeling, to know that other adult females have bedwetting problems too.

This has made her life a bit hard as she could not do what most young girls all did like have or go to sleepovers . Yes she has used nappies and bed pads , but please treat this page serious please . many thanks Marie

Hello, last night I wet the bed and I woke up this morning in a complete panic frenzy. I stopped wetting the bed at 8, so why has it returned so many years later, and without warning? I never wet the bed and rarely even get up in the night to go to the loo. I am really worried about this, as it happened a few weeks ago, but I thought I was just a bit sweaty because it wasn't that wet. Please help!!!

Posted by makaylaa on 11/09/2011 at 04:34

I have wet the bed since I was 2 and stopped when I was in 7th grade. I am 21 now and randomly last night it happened again. I'm not sure what triggered it but I was mortified. I sleep in the same bed with my boyfriend and had to lake him up to change the bed before it smelled....I am so embarrassed. What do I do???

Posted by nick on 31/08/2011 at 08:05

Posted by Kaylee on 14/08/2011 at 11:32

my name is Kaylee im 14 and i wet the bed as well...to parents who are concerned about there loved ones who wet the bed, first off getting mad or showing anger to your loved ones it only makes the wetting of the bed worse and no one should get in trouble for such an uncontrolable thing...the more you act agetated the more it can depress this person you love and i can understand sleeping in the same bed as this person but if you truly love them you shall NOT get mad with them it only takes a blow to there self of steem and thats what washers are for getting angry doesnt help anything.............and to people who dont know how to break it to your parents the worst thing to do is to not tell them

Posted by Optional on 12/08/2011 at 07:45

well i give up i go months and start to relax and then it happens again . then i have an angry wife who sleep in the same bed with me cause.dont get me wrong she is the greatest but it getting frustrating even for me. we have guest who are staying over with us for a while and i have to wake up my wife at 630 to help me get rid the evidence of my incontinence. as a child and a teenager it was a daily occurance now as an adult especially from when i was 18 it became something that happened when i least expected it like today for instacne i am sitting infront of my pc writing this after another episode with friends sleeping in the next room a tired wife on the couch who frankly must be fed up and i dont know what to do next . so lets try again i guess

Posted by Ericka on 10/08/2011 at 10:49

I have this problem. Actually i dont remember if i ever wet the bed when i was little. It was never a problem untill my parents divorced. I have stress and anxitey which causes me to wet the bed sometimes. This didnt start untill i was about 21 maybe. Its never been an issue but now it is. Stress is the main reason for my bedwetting. Nothing else i can think of. Luckily it doesnt happen every night. However it did the other night. I've had daytime wetting which is not fun at all. Im 23 and getting ready to turn 24. I'm embarassed as heck that i have this issue because i never had it when i was younger. I thought i was the only one with this problem, but im glad im not. The daytime is actually more upsetting for me than the nighttime. I'm almost even embarassed and upset to go out in public because im scared it will happen. That is the last thing i want to do having an accident out in public. I try to not drink anything be4 i go to bed, sometimes that does help me. I get thristy very easy and sometimes i cant go that long without drinking anything. I hope this issue will stop for me cause its very frustrating for me to deal with. The bad thing is that my friends and family rarely no that this is happening.

I have for the first time after many years wet the bed. I remember dreaming after being in a deep sleep that I was actually going to the toilet but was actually asleep in my bed. In my earlier years I wet the bed regulary up until the age of 10 but with less drink at night and setting my alarm 3 times a night to get up I soon stopped. I also did bladder exercises to try and increase my bladder size. I was so shocked to find after all this time that I started again. Looks like I will have to repeat the same proceedures.

Last week my wifes girl friend stoped by to drop off a dish that my wife had ordered. My wife was in the back yard hanging up a wash line of my diapers and plastic pants. I came home from shopping and was ask to join them for a glass of lemonaid. I was so embarresed by the sight of my diapers and plastic pants on display that I wet my,already soaked, diapers I was wearing. This caused a wet spot to show up. My wifes friend noticed the wet spot with a "oh" My wife ask me to change my wet diaper and pants. I know there was no better way to handle incedent, but it dide't make it any less embarresing. The smile on the friends face let me know that my diaper wearing and wetting would be discribed in many of her stories to others.

I'm a long time bedwetter. I have a back disorder that causes my blatter to empty without notice. I wear disposable diapers every night with a soaker pad and pullon plastic pants. This will allow 3 wetting befor leaking to the rubber sheet. My wife is supportive in me dealing with my wetting, by wearing this protection. She also wants we to wear the diapers during any day trips away from home. She is quick to have me add added soaker pads to my diapers whenever she feels there is a slight chance of a leak. She always has a supply of "protection" in the car for all ocations.

im 14 and my problem has always been so emberrasing. as a little girl i learned to go to the bathroom on my own at an early age but a few years later, i think after entering kinder i would often wake up all wet and smelly so after a while my parents started to look for solutions, they told me not to drink anything a few hours before bed and go to the bathroom before sleeping. sometimes that helped but not always. it was terrible because sometimes i would wake up in time but i just couldn't hold it long enough to get to the bathroom.it went on until i turned 13 when it stopped for a while but i still also had trouble holding it for long during the day. now a few weeks after turning 14 it started again and like i said its VERY hard to get to the bathroom. can someone PLEASE help me?! i have heard it could be a sort of uti but i dont think so because it doesnt hurt to go its just that its hard to hold it long enough. somedays i even have to go every few minutes. i heard that happens mostly to guys but im a GIRL!!

well today is my birthday and have had no dry nights in my life. I wish I could go a night in real underwear and cool kids pants but thats not going to happen. I try to deal as much as I can with my pull ups but its emberrasing talking to people about it. One time I fell asleep in the car and woke up to a flood in thirty minuts. But my biggest dream is to wake up with no wet diaper and a dry bed and be able to go to a sleep over. The problem my doctor told me is heriditary from my dad who wets his bed still and whears a diaper in the day because he cant control his bladder. My doctor told me he used to wet at night also and told me he didnt get to wear pull ups because they didnt have them so he would wake up in cold smelly wet pjs. I love to hear that im not the only sixteen year old out there who has bed wetting problem. So dont be afraid to post if your reading this because we understand what your going through.

Hi, I found the subject very interesting, I did wet the bed until my teens, I went into the army and for some reason the wetting started again, I was discharged from the army, and lived on my own, for a while I was still wetting the bed, so I went into a late closing chemist, who sold me three pairs of pvc pants, and some pads, the pads were usless, so I bought some towels and made some nappies from them, My doctor said that he would give me tablets to stop the night time wetting, and also refered me to a district nurse, so that she could assess me, she said I suffered from night time Incontinence, because I slept eight hours or more without waking up, when I was in my early Twenties, I met a joung lady, and we got married, I did tell her about my problem before we married, she said as long as I bought the pants and the nappies she would wash them, we have been married now for forty four years, I also now get, all my pants and pads free from my area health clinic, they are delivered to my home. I have never enjoyed wearing plastic pants or pads or nappies, and I think you have to be weird or slightly mental to like them, you are always hideing them from your freinds, and frightened that somebody will see them drying, so why people make a big thing of wearing incontinence pants etc, I will never know..

Posted by Backagain on 01/06/2011 at 11:31

So many of hte comments here ring true - I was not reliably dry at night until a lot older than my friends - although it was help to discover (by seeing rubber sheet on their beds) that two brothers who were my best mates had the same problem. When I got married I was anxious and wanted to tell my wife - when I tried i learned two things - one that my mum had quielty warned her and tow that she had had a problem until her late teens and that "it ran in her family too". I was a lot dryer between 25 and 45 but the problems came back with a vengeance by the time I was 58. I now wear protection pretty much 24/7 and we cope. I am left with questions that are probably a bit unusual. Like how can you know the elastic in underwear will be strong enough to help hold up a pad? Do I need to wash the sheets after every 6 inch wet spot from slight leakage? If my trousers have a small wet mark is it OK to let them dry - or should i be fastidious and throw them in the wash? Not very major issues but they recur and if anyone has any comments.....

Hi, um... not to sure really where to start... Ive never had problems before but i started wetting the bed no less than a month ago. I've wet the bed on average 5-6 days a week. This I've been sort of able to manage with adult nappies... I really really don't wanna be stuck in nappies already, I'm only 28 ! It sucks I can bring myself to buy nappies but not go to the doctors, its just so hard to talk about. Now, all of this has been confusing enough but 3 times this week during the day not to mention publicly, I've lost all blader control and wet myself... so embarrassing !

Posted by Optional on 05/05/2011 at 05:38

I have had this problem for 30 years. I dumped an Honda 350cc and really messed my insides up. Spent 3 weeks in the hospital before they sent me home with a bag of diapers. I have gone from wetting most nights to about 3 nights. And yes, I still wear diapers to bed every night. I tried a few med's over the years, some worked and some did not. Of the ones that did work I did not like the side effects and stopped using them.

Posted by mac on 05/05/2011 at 04:18

I may be the only male to post here from what I've seen. Be that as it may, here is my post. I am a 26 year old guy and I still wet the bed at night. I wet as a child up into my teens and it stopped for a while, that is until I returned from a deployment in Iraq (2005). Since then I have had few "dry" nights. I wear diapers at night to contain the problem...and to make sure my wife isn't affected. It was frustrating for a while, and still is to a degree, however, I have come to terms with my problem and accepted the fact that I have to wear diapers at night. My wife is very supportive and accepting of all of this; for this I feel truly blessed and thankful. Like I said though, I have come to terms with my problem, I don't let it get me down. I still do my MMA training, hang out with my friends, go to school, work etc.... Bed wetting used to have a very negative effect on my self esteem. I felt like I was a freak and somehow less of a man. It was only just recently that I started to shed these negative feelings and come to grips with the situation. In a way bed wetting has improved my physical conditioning and my fighting.... This may sound odd, but, I began to train harder and longer as I felt worse and worse about my self (6 days a week for 3-4 hours a day, after school and work I'd get 3 hours of sleep). I still train brutally hard and long, but those feelings have gone away. I'll conclude my ramblings with this: Bed wetting doesn't make you a freak or somehow less of an adult (man or woman). You cannot control a malfunction in your body, and, it is not as uncommon of a problem as one might think. Hold your head up high, see a doctor, and know that you are not alone.

Im age 30 and still wet the bed it happens once every few months and is very embarrasing. I usually can wake my self up, I have dreams of needing to pee and in a bath room over an stool or dreams involving alot of water and just get up. When the accidents happen I find my self in the same type of dream but am in such a deep sleep that I when finally wake up its been too late or I have peed alittle and its just on my clothes not the bed. I have tried fluid restrictions like you would do with a child before bed time, it is still the same senario just depends on if im able to wake my self in time. Sometimes it happens when I sleep in a new place somtimes when its cold and sometimes it just happens and im very angry with my self and my partner tells me mean comments the times it makes it on the bed.

Posted by Simon on 24/04/2011 at 12:51

I never wet the bed when i was younger but about 4 years ago I started. I finally plucked up the courage to overcome the embarrassment and saw my Doctor. In short she believed it was linked to stress and gave me some medication, detrusitol. After a couple of weeks I got it under control. The problem is it keep returning every 3-4 months. The longest that I was dry was all last year which was brilliant. But last week it returned and I have wet the bed 3 times. To manage it I wear adult nappies and plastic pants. We have a mattress protector on the bed and a duvet protector. I hated having to wear nappies at first and would hide them from my wife, not that she didn't know just that I felt so embarrassed and did not want her to see me like that. One day we were staying in a hotel and Paula asked me to make her a cup of tea and I had no alternative but to stand up and for her to see me. I was red with embarrassment and just made the tea and got back into bed. Paula then cuddled me and said she was proud of me for doing what I had just done and that she found me sexy with or without a nappy and that she loved me. You don't know how much that meant to me and set me on the journey to accepting that I needed to wear nappies. I am now a lot more comfortable about it and feel that wearing a nappy is just another thing that is necessary to life. I still wish I could be totally free from this problem, however my very understanding and supportive makes it so much easier.

Hi, Its good to know we are not alone. A great support. i have wet the bed on and off all my life - mostly around times of stress in my life. I am due to go into hospital in a few weeks for a routine op and wanted to know if anyone has any tips as to how to deal with the bed wetting. At home i wear a nappy and wondered if these will be provided at the hospital or do i need to takle my own? Also, how will I cope with the embarrassment of needing help with changing etc. Is this siomethiong anyone else has dealt with / can help me to get my head around. Any help in this respect would be much appreciated.

Posted by Debra on 16/04/2011 at 10:02

I've always felt that the biggest problem for anyone who wets the bed is what they think that others will think of them. It is natural for a bedwetter to think that everyone else will hate them or laugh at them, or tell the whole world that they wet their bed. But if you don't worry about your bedwetting, and don't let it bother you (because in reality, it's only a big deal if you let it be) then other people will not be bothered by it, either, In my experience the great majority of people will be sympathetic, or just will not care. I've been a bedwetter all my life. Up until I was in my late teens, it happened every night. My parents never punished me for it, and would come down hard on my brother and two sisters if they ever made any negative comments or laughed at me. Eventually, it just became a part of our family life. The attitude was "Debra wets her bed. So freaking what?" I've done all the endless visits to doctors and specialists, all the alarms and gadgets, and various medications and so on; nothing ever worked - the only thing that ever kept my bed dry was a nappy! Eventually, I began to have periods when I didn't wet, and I got the the point where on average I probably wet maybe half a dozen times in a month, although I have never actually kept a record of my wetting so that I can come up with accurate statistics. It's erratic, though. Sometimes it will happen a lot more than that, other times a lot less. But the fact is, is that it has never stopped entirely, and I very much doubt it ever will, a fact that I accepted and came to terms with a long time ago. The problem simply doesn't bother me any more. If I sleep in a bed other than my own, then I wear a nappy. When alone in my own bed, I don't always bother with a nappy; it just depends on the mood I am in when I go to bed. If I am going to share my bed (or anyone else's) then I will always be up front about what may happen, and offer to wear a nappy if they want me to. And although I have slept with many different people, male and female, only one person has ever declined to sleep with me. I know it's hard, but please, try not to let it bother you, and you'll find that things become a little easier. Debra

I am an occasional bed-wetter (once/twice a year). In my case, bed-wetting is preceded by dreams associated with urinating and I wake up wet. I have noticed that bed-wetting happens generally in winters when I am cold at night, ie, my blanket/quilt drops off. If I am warm and cosy in bed, then bed-wetting episodes generally do not happen. Also try the technique of self-suggestion before going to sleep. Though it may sound silly, just before sleeping, I speak to my Pillow requesting to be woken up in case I am about to pee. It works for me.

i wet the bed very rarely

Posted by Optional on 08/04/2011 at 12:56

I am frustrated. I have been married 5 years to a great guy (age 33)except that he is a bedwetter. He told me he had this problem before we were married but said it only happened very rarely. It turns out that "very rarely" is more like once or twice a week! Although he is very good about washing the sheets after an accident, I finally got angry and told him if he wanted to sleep wth me he needed to wear an adult diaper. He agreed but I have noticed his wetting has become much more frequent now that he is wearing a diaper. Just about every morning I find a wet diaper in the trash. Personally I would rather he wear a diaper, but I believe he is not trying to stay dry when he wears one. He says he doesn't know why his wetting has gotten worse and is angry that I am checking the trash. Any suggestions? PS. he has seen a urologist and they can find nothing physically wrong with him.

Posted by Bob on 06/04/2011 at 05:06

I have had a problem with sporadic nighttime wetting my entire life. Sometimes I would go 6 months between incidents...or I might wet 3 times in a week. I have been to doctors and the only medical condition known is a slightly enlarged prostate. I have dealt with my problem by protecting the mattress and sometimes wearing an adult pullup when sleeping away from home. However, for the past several years I have been taking a product called beta prostate. My wetting incidents have been dramatically reduced. In fact, I think I have only wet twice in the past year or so. Also now I rarely have to get up at night where in the past I arose at least once to use the bathroom. Hope this suggestions helps others.

Posted by Danielle on 04/04/2011 at 09:35

After 25 years of bedwetting i think maybe fingers crossed and knock on wood guys but it may finally be over a few moths ago i went in and got botox inections into my bladder at first i thought it hadn't worked but now as this is the longest i have been dry well since i can remember anyway i think i might be in luck. please remember never give up keep searching if it works for someone it might work for you thts what gave me half the ideas i took to the doctor to try me on because they had mostly given up and half the battle was to get them to agree that it was worth their time to fix this particular problem. anyway good luck and i'll let you know how it goes :-)

Im a 22 year old girl and ive wet the bed all my life now, i also wear pull up panties in the day as i wet myself throughout the day too. The only thing i find embarassing is when i wear skirts somtimes you can see my nappy. My boyfriend does'nt mind he says that its cute but he is hepfull to me as he changes me too. he also like me to not wear a nappy at night time as he likes the feeling of waking up wet.

Posted by Optional on 21/03/2011 at 03:52

I am a female and I wet my panties during the day and often I will wet the bed at night. I am a widow and for some reason I like the warm feeling when I wet my panties. I have wet them in public because I wait too long to go the toilet. My late husband I had five children in ten years and after he passed I got pregnant three times and lost two of the babies.

I stopped wetting the bed as a child, the 'normal' age probably, but then I got a severe case of cystitis, a urinary tract infection, but thought I'd got rid of it (it made me a little incontinent at night times) but suddenly last night I wet the bed! It was really embarrassing, and I'm just really glad I wasn't in my boyfriends bed, as I live with him!! This has never happened before, and I don't know what to do! Could it be something to do with the infection I had??

I have been a bedwetter most of my life. My parents spent a fortune on gadgets gimmicks and doctors. My wife has been very nice kind loving and supportive. She has determined I wet three (3) times a night. I wear cloth diapers and plastic panties. My wife diapers me. Being such a sound sleeeper she can change me in the middle of the night without waking me. We recently took a large amount of vacation time off together as we both have been working long and hard. Several things we did together had has getting up earlier then normal so wife and I took a nap together. She then discovered I also wet when taking a nap. Now I am in a heavy all in one pull on diaper with plastic panties during the day and cloth diapers when travling or napping. We are very happy together and wet diapers are better then wet pants or wet beds any day Peace Bobby

I'm so glad they have websites like this. My husband struggled with bedwetting until he was a teen. Then it seemed to vanish for awhile. When we were first married and he was 22 it happened out of nowhere one night. He had drank a whole bottle of coke and didn't go to the bathroom before sleeping so I'm sure thats why...but still, deep down it disturbed me a little. It didn't happen again for a long time after that. 7 years to be exact. Then it happened again last night. He woke up and there was a big wet spot there. I couldn't believe this had happened again. Of course he was very embarassed, and I was embarassed for him. I didn't know what to say. He thought I was mad at him. I wasn't, I was just not sure how to go about handling this again, it's such a sensitve issue. It's honestly bothering me a little today (and I'm sure he's feeling even worse) but as his wife I know it's my job to be supportive. I'm just concerned that if it's still happening on occasion in his adult life, that obviously it means somethings off in his body or that theres a problem. We have 3 small kids, and I'm scared one of them will find out someday. How would that seem to a child to find out daddy wets the bed sometimes?? How could we even begin to explain it? If we could get to the root of the problem I'm hoping we could fix it. I've read that sometimes it can be a small thing thats causing it and is easy to fix. I hope thats all it is. It's not a nice thing to watch someone go through, I can tell he feels very ashamed and nobody deserves to feel that way over something that they can't control. I wish I could find a way to help him :(

Hi, I too suffer from nightime wetting. This has been with me for as long as I can remember but comes and goes - sometines it can last for a couple of years, then i'm ok for a few years. It always returns at time sof stress. The first occaision when I wet the bed was when I was 10 years old and my parents were going through a divorce. Its has return periodically ever since. It has become something i have learnt to live with choosing to wear disposable nightime nappies such as Tena slip maxi during these times of wetting. I am happily married and my wife understands, albeit it did take a little bit of getting used to for her. It is extremely helpful to read the experiences of others and to realise we are not alone in having to cope with this embarrassing condiditon. I have tried doctors, drugs (Desmotabs), hynosis, etc, but all to little or no effect. I have only shared my issue with one friend (apart from my wife)as I had to ahead of us sharing a hotel room on a stag weekend. He understood and has kept it to himself. I am due to go into hospital shortly for a semi routine op which will necessitate me to stay over for 2 nights. Can anyone tell me how I am best to cope with the inevitable issue of talking through the issues at the pre op and dealing with them during my stay- and the op itself?!. I am quite a private man, but I will not be in a position to be able to change myself at this time - has anyone experience of coping with this situation that they can share / put my mind at rest. Also, do the NHS provide nappies in this respect or will I need to take my own? Any help / insight would vbe extremely helpful. And thank you to everyone for sharing their experiences here and helping us to feel less 'on our own'.

i am a female,age19 and was a bedwetter from age 15 to 18 and wore a thick cloth diaper and plastic pants to bed.i tried disposables,but broke out in rashes from them.i went thru many embarrassing moments when i was a bedwetter as my parents also made me wear them for special occasions and holidays under a dress even tho i did not nedd them during the daytime.on the holidays mom always told me 'go take your bath and then i will put your diaper and rubber pants on you'.i didnt like hearing those words but knew there would be a fight if i didnt do it.i was made to wear my diaper and plastic pants under my white confirmation dress when i was 16 and it was embarrassing being around my class mates with them on under my white dress.i stopped bedwetting after 18 and said good bye to the diapers and plastic for good!

I have wet the bed all my life and spent years hiding it from everyone. If I drank lots of beer I would spend all night in the loo. I tried to ask for help but was dismissed by many Doctors. Eventually I went to see a urologist who gave the 'pee test' ie flow measurement which he said was pathetic - no more than a trickle and that my bladder was the size of balloon. He operated - which I can only decribe as as a re-bore.I guess made the flow area larger and I was peeing like a horse. His words. I still leak occasionally but the was probably sufferiung from some kind of obstruction and the re-bore helped tremendously. I still leak occasionally but otherwise much better. It took 35 years for this to be sorted out and having read the notes on this site I can relate to all of them - well male ones anyway. So maybe check your flow rate - and seek out help from trained urologists.

My parents told me I stopped bedwetting b4 I can talk. So it was about when I was 10mons old. However, when I was 10yrs old, all the suddent it started again. At that time my parents blamed me for being lazy, which we all knew that was not the reason. Long story short. It lasted for about 1yr then stopped and never came back to me again.

My father still wets the bed as well this is very distressing for me and i can never go to places without having planned something out. Please help me out. I'm desperate.

I am a 18yr old female (who will soon be 19) & I have been wetting the bed all my life. When I was in 5th grade I took pills and they worked prefectly fine but my mother didn't want me to become dependanton them so she took them away. I was never able to attend sleepovers as a child and still can't now. My friends get together often and I always have 2 make up an excuse as t why I cant stay. My father wet the bed until he was 12. I just need a cure for this ASAP! I feel almost as if I'm cursed and its very depresssing. :(

my boyfriend is 26 years old, since we have moved in together he has wet the bed at least once a month. sometimes he doesn't even wake me to move to the couch, and i wake up after rolling in a wet spot. so so so freaking disgusting, i've tried to make him wear special underpants to sleep in and due to his ego he utterly refuses. i'm disgusted and i have no idea what to do for the future

Hello I'm a 28 yr. old male, about 5 or 6 yrs. ago I came down with what was thought to be a bladder infection, I let it go too long and after a few weeks of it I began leaking urine, which then af course led to bedwetting. after seeing a doctor and getting the infection cleared up the daytime leaking went away, but the bedwetting continued for a couple of months forcing me to wear a diaper to bed which was ok at the time since I was single. A few years later I came down with the flu and began bedwetting again but this time it only lasted a few weeks. I'm now Married and on the 1st. of january I came down with a bad cold, on january 4 I woke up while wetting the bed. the next few days I leaked urine during the day, and the bedwetting continued. My wife wanted me to see a doctor and I refused and told her it would pass as before.. I'm now a full month into this and although the bedwetting has slowed to only a 1 to 2 times a week it still persists. I'm wearing diapers to bed as a favor to my wife, and she is more than ok with the situation. I'm just wondering if I should see a doctor or not. P.S. I was an occastional bedwetter tell I was about 14yrs. old... I've also realized that each TIme this happens I'm under lots of Financial stress. Could either of these two have something to do with what is going on.?? Also I used to wear Attends but they seem to be Junk now, What is the preferred bedtime diaper?

I started having wetting acidents when i was almost 14. i didnt go to any doctors or tell anyone about it for a while. i was hoping so much it would just stop. it didnt.i told my step mom and dad and they were sorry to hear it and took me to the doctor. he said there is nothing medically wrong with me...is this normal? i wet the bed every night and wear diapers to bed every night to stay dry. i can not stay the night at any friends houses ever and i can never have any friends stay the night at my house either. it really sucks. please some tell me...is it normal to have accidents every night and have nothing medically wrong with me?

I was bedwetting till I was 18, I have 3 ideas 1. Sleep on your left side 2. Go to toilet before you go to bed 3. Dont drink coffe at all. That worked by me.

Posted by Jane on 20/01/2011 at 09:54

hi guys, Just wanted to give a little bit of support and let you know it can get better. I wet the bed when i was younger all the way upto when i was 16. My mum was really supportive and tried to get me help with bed alarms, tablets etc but nothing worked. Doctors thought it was phycological and link to my parent divorce. Regardless of this it still happened every night and really held me back from having fun with my friends and hit my confidence. However when i left school and began enjoying myself with friends and having fun i all of a sudden grew out of it. I think its about feeling settled in your mind and being happy. If you think about it all the time it will happen and you feel miserable! If your early teens my advice is to stay cool and dont worry - you are very likely to grow out of it and it will get better. After a few years you wont even think about it! Good luck and chin up x

I'm 19 and I had bedwetting problems when I was younger, and since then I only had a problem once every one or two years. I thought it had gone because it hasn't happened since I was 14 but I woke up this morning with a wet bed again. I hope this is another one off, but yesterday I suddenly started thinking about how it hasn't happened in years (I forgot until then) and now it's happened. Maybe it's psychological? I did take a sleeping pill last night, but it had no effect because after a few hours I still couldn't sleep

Posted by Alex on 09/01/2011 at 10:52

Hi I'm Alex, 24 and female and I have wet the bed all my life. My mum used to wet the bed but she grew out of it, i never did. By the time i was 7 or 8 we realised I wasnt going to grow out of it, so my parents took me to see a specialist. We tried the bed protector, dont drink after 8pm, the special wee buzzer in your pants, dont drink milk (apparently!) getting up in the night to go to the loo- but nothing worked. I was prescribed a drug that was supposed to reduce the production of urine or something to that effect too which worked for one or two nights then i just became adjusted to it. For a few years I just put up with my problem until my periods started when i was about 16 and things started to get messy. One of my doctors suggessted that I might have a hormone imbalance so they put me on the pill - again this did not work - only made me gain weight! I decided that I could live with the bedwetting until i started not being able to make the toilet during the daytime, which spurred me on to seek further help. I have been to specialists, taken different drugs, cut out foods and drinks, lost weight - put weight back on again and all i can say is that there seems to be no cure. For me personally I have become acustomed to my life as a bedwetter I dont forsee the situation changing anytime soon, which was hard for me to admit as it is an embarrassing situation. I now have special sheets that I can take away when i stay at a friends or hotel etc and have a permanent rubber sheet on my bed which wipes clean(Nappies are not for me). I have ruined a few matresses in the past and decided to invest in proper protection as the bin bags on the bed were no good! I just now wash my sheets when I have an accident. After all thats what this is - accidents - its not like we do this on purpose now is it! Over the past few years I have noticed that I bed wet about 3 days straight, before I have my period - although doctors cannot find this connection, so I know when to expect it. I do still set my alarm all the time though, to go in the night but mistakes happen. I would suggest to you to go to your doctors and be insistent!!! YOU NEED HELP even if they could not treat me there could be underlying causes for your bedwetting and getting a proffessional opinion could help you. Good luck and dry nights x

I have been bedwetting since a child. At first every night. I was in a boarding school and it was very embarrassing. I used to hide my bed under the covers and wear my night robe over wet pyjamas. I tried not drinking water from the evening, tried waking up and going to the toilet. But even then I would wet the bed. I would almost always dream that I was sitting on the toilet and releiving myself whereas I was actually in my bed. I could not sleep in friend's bed (as we do in a boarding school). Was punished when I was found out. I was humiliated. I hated it and they could not understand that I did not want to wet my bed not just because of the punishment I would get. My mother was very understanding she took me to doctors and they found nothing wrong. My Mum would just get the sheets changed every morning and never made a fuss. I dont think there were any nappies for older children then. I slept in her bed as none of my sisters wanted me to sleep with them due to my problem. Then my bedwetting stopped being every night. I still wet the bed even now but without any warning. I could be dry for years or 6 months at a time and then suddenly I wet my bed. I cant wear nappies as it would mean wearing them say for a whole year and actually wetting only twice or thrice in that time. I am married and have children. My husband never knew that I had a problem nor do my daughters. I am now divorced (for other reasons) and sleep alone. If I do wet my bed on the rare occasion I just change my pyjamas, put a thick towel or another folded sheet on the wet area in the bed, sleep on the dry side and wait for the morning to change my sheet. I still hate it. But I accept it. I go to the bathroom before bed and also go to the bathroom whenever I wake up once or twice in the night. The strange thing is that I always dream that I am in the toilet. Very rarely I do not remember dreaming and may be very deep asleep when it happens. I think that if I can stop the dreams then I can stop wetting the bed. I personally think I wet the bed due to stress, even if it is subconscious. It does not bother me much now as I sleep alone. If I am in a hotel or at a friend's place then I do worry and go to the toilet as often as I can during the night. Just in case.

Hi. I posted here before. I carried out some research here are the hypothesis: Tea intake in the evening, at bed time increases your chances of peeing In females, just prior to the monthly cycle, bedwetting is most probable The onset of diseases like hyperthyroidism may send the system haywire and you bedwet worrying a lot about it before going to bed makes the chances of bedwettin high. Liqour intake, stress during the day and a form of diabetes that makes you drink a lot, contributes to bedwetting. I have stopped bedwetting its been months now. i hope not to bedwet forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know if these findings could be useful. Goodluck folks!

hi doug.i have a similar history to u. i was a late as well. i wet till i was 7. was dry for a couple of years then started wetting agen and wet into my teens when it more or less stopped apart from nown again. wnen i started wetting agen at 9 i was also put back into nappies. i also hated them at the time but i can understand my mum putting them on me.im now 56 and started wetting agen 5 years ago. to start with i didnt wear anythingbut had to in the end.iv tried all types of nappies disposables ect but all leak. i found where i could buy terry nappies and rubber pants.like u i wear a thick terry and thick gauge rubber pants i dont get any leaks with these. the trouble with disposables is theres no material around the sides and back. i now get a much better nights sleep.in the morning i just take the nappy and pants off and put them in the washing machine and its not a problem. i dont understand y it started agen but it seems to happento alot of people. i think it goes back to childhood.anyone else got any ideas

Posted by Doug on 28/12/2010 at 08:48

I wet the bed every night until age 18 or so and have continued 4-5 nights a week to this day. Until age 13 I had to wear cloth diapers with plastic pants to bed. Once I turned 13 I was allowed to decide for myself provided I took care of the wet mess, EVERY day. Now I had the additional problem of wetting more than once a night so getting up and changing often led to more waking up and changing. After a couple years of this and the huge mess I had to deal with daily I decided to go back into diapers. I hated them and always felt like a little kid for having to use them. Once I turned 20 or so I had a complete change of attitude towards the diapers and now just treat it as normal as putting on sweats before bed. I still protect the mattress with a plastic sheet because of the occasional leak, but I also make sure the diapers are thick enough to handle multiple wetting episodes which they normally do. And I always get a good nights rest and simply drop the wet diaper in a pail in the morning. About twice a week I do laundry and that's about it. I really don't know how to encourage those of you that bed wet regarding diapers because it's very easy to fear the stigma about them but if you can simply look at diapers as a tool to provide a much more comfortable sleeping situation, not only for you but especially if your sleeping with a partner. I can almost guarantee after just a few days the advantages of waking up dry and comfortable will overcome any apprehensions you are currently having. Oh and another note I'm a side sleeper and have tried them all but the thick cloth diapers with plastic pants will work much better than any type of disposables and will cost you less in the long run. good luck

I just wear a depends (or similar) pullup so my mornings are dry as they do a GREAT job of keeping both my sheets and my skin dry.. then I just put used ones in a plastic bag and toss that in the trash ..no big deal.

Hi , I am a female who wet the bed almost nightly until I was 18. I had been dry for the last 6 years but it started happening again about 6 months ago. I am wetting the bed nearly everynight and sleep with my boyfriend of 2 years. He asked me to start wearing a diaper at night because he is tired of waking up soaked in my urine and messing up the sheets. I sought out medical help and am working with my urologist to try to solve this problem but so far no improvement. He doesn't know that I used to wet the bed till I was in my teens. I'm afraid he might leave me if I can't get this under control.....this situation has really slowed down our sex life:(. I don't want to be wearing a night diaper the rest of my life .... Any advice on how to stop wetting nightly

My bf is 39 and he has wet the bed since I met him.. I asked him to wear the diapers at night and he won't do it.. It has got to the point where I won't sleep with him.. He isn't allowed in my bed due to this problem. The part that bugs me is he doesn't seem to want to fix this problem. and he is making the whole house smell.. Help what is causing this? and do you have any ideas on how to get him to go to the doctor's? Cause if something doesn't go soon I'm out of here...

does anyone know why someone might suddenly start wetting the bed after being out of diapers for 15 years? im 19 and very suddenly last year i began wetting the bed! i have never said this to anyone for obvious reasons but as i have come to learn, its not going to go away by itslef! it only happens on occasion and luckily it has never happened while i was staying in someone elses house, as you can imagine the anxiaty i feel is enough to stop me staying with friends or going out a lot of the time! i stopped wearing diapers when i was one, and stopped wearing them at night when i was three for good, so has anyone heard of why after years of not wetting the bed, I would just start again? its happened around 15 times in the last year and a half!

I am 19 years old. I have been dealing with bedwetting since for as long as I can remember. This problem has now become a problem that my roommate must also deal with. I have tried everything. I have tried pills, diapers, alarms, hypnosis, mattress covers, setting sporadic alarms throughout the night and nothing has made a difference. Currently I am looking into surgical options. If anyone has ever heard of any surgery that when successfully performed reduces the risk of bedwetting please let me know. Otherwise I am at my wits end. Thank you

I'm 21 n I've wet the bed for a majority of my life. I'm writting now because I jus woke up soked in my own urine with my girlfriend by my side. This the most emmbarrising thing that could ever happen to me. I don't know what to do, I don't know how she's going to react. I feel relieved that I'm not the only one, but not at the same time because it doesn't solve my problem at all. I feel like a douche bag child who wets the bed, I hate it! It makes me not want to even be with my girlfriend because of the shame. We've been together almost 5 months and this the worst case. The other times I had dreams and woke up jus in time or not that wet. This time I jus woke up soked and confused, there was no dream and no warrning. This is the worst thing that could ever happen 2 me.

DRINK AT LEAST 2 LITRES OF WATER A DAY!!!! this was my solution after wetting the bed until my late teens. you need to stretch your bladder so it can hold thoughout the night. PLEASE TRY IT!!!!!

Posted by Mark on 04/11/2010 at 03:05

I wet the bed everynight till I was in my mid teens. Almost 3 years ago I had an accident in my GF,s bed which made her wet aswell. It was her idea to use nappies untill I found out what was happening but none of the doctors had any answers so I continue to wear nappies and plastic pants. I also use a protective sheet that works like a nappy aswell as I find that the nappy can sometimes leak. The nappies have helped me a lot in dealing with this and my GF has no problems with me wearing them either. To those other's out there who still wet the bed give nappies/diapers a try a wet nappy is better than a wet bed.

When i was little i wet the bed everynight till i was around 7 then it was reduced to maybe once a week to a fortnight then eventually it just stopped. Then when i was 15 i was having a dream about being in the bathroom and then i woke up wet right through!! that was the only time it happened till now when i am an adult. It is really embarassing i have a long term partner who i have never told about this but then it happened and i have still not told him! I feel stupid i don't understand what happened, i have realistic dreams all the time but i don't remember having one about the bathroom this time. what should i do?

I'm almost 18 and still wet the bed. It's horrible. I've been through everything from mattress pads, towels, staying up all night, seeing a doctor, pills to pull-ups. I've even gone through changing my pjs every morning to hide it from my parents. It's really lightened since i was a child but now i just so to sleep every night with only a shirt. I'm scared for sleepovers, relationships and college. Although it does feel good to see how many comments there are here.

I am 21 years old and I wet the bed until I was 19. I was never really allowed to go to sleep overs as a teen and most of my family knew and they would joke me about it. I hated it because they didnt understand that it wasnt me being lazy and not wanting to get up at night to go to the bathroom...I actually didnt know that I was doing it until I woke up the next morning.I would get yelled at or even beat with a belt for wetting the bed for a while. But after my mother realized it wasnt intentional she took me to doctors to try to get me help. I never really told any of my friends and even to this day my husband doesnt know about it. While I dont wet the bed anymore I go to the bathroom more than the average person during the day and at night, but Id rather have to go all the time than be embarrassed and wet the bed while sleeping with my husband. I hate when people make jokes about stuff like this. Its a very sensitive subject and I wish more people would understand and be a little bit more caring when it comes to this. While I dont wet the bed anymore, it has helped me to be more understanding.

i had a stage when i wet the bed every night no it limited to once a week and sometimes not at all, if you need help a good thing to do is pelbic floor excersies 5 minutes a day it help you hold your wee in and stops you wetting then bed.

Posted by Peedon on 20/10/2010 at 08:57

I had to sleep with my brother who was 4 years older than me. He would wet the bed occasionally, I never did. Most of the time when he wet the bed he also managed to wet on me or at least on my side of the bed. Some of the time it was also intentional. Since we were poor and lived in a small house I had to put up with it from the time I was 3 until I was 8 since there was nowhere else to sleep. My mother finally spoke to the family doctor about it after I got completely soaked one night. He ordered her to immediately separate us under threat of reporting her to the county welfare authorities. My brother wet the bed exactly once after we quit sleeping together.

I'm 26 now and still dealing with bedwetting. Growing up it was a lot more now just a few times a month. What I hate most about it is that I never know what nights it is going to happen so I have to go to bed each night thinking that I might wet on my sheets.

it's terrifying waking in a pool and your teenage kids see it.i attended boarding school where annual rainfall was high so i coudn't dry the materass. i was often punished and felt very ashamed though i did excellently at school. the problem stopped at about 17, then at university it started again. my roommates often complained of the urea-odor. it was terrible cuz i wouldn't go for lectures so as to clean up when no-one was looking. after graduation, it stopped then going thru a hectic period of weight gain, divorce, increased responsibilities at work and at home, i often dropped on the bed at night like lead, tired out just to wake in a pool and my teen daughter asking me what's on the bed. wow!!! so i stopped stressing myself, drank less at bedtime, and tried to stop the problem. now i'm seeing a nice guy and wouldn't know what to do if the problem props up on one nice night....I hope never to bed wet again,.. forever!!!!

Posted by Optional on 06/10/2010 at 10:29

I have server ADD and one of the symthoms can be bedwetting. With ADD it is generally linked dirrectly to stress and insecurity, or changes in a persons life and enviornment. As a child I would sleep with towels and bed protectors beneath my sheets because I would wet the bed so often. It was really embracing as I got older and started trying to hide it or clean it up myself rather then waking my mother for help. My dad would get so angry, saying I was to old for this problem. As I got older I started having realisitic dreams where a part of me knew i was dreaming but the dominitate part would think I was awake, in the dreams I'd go into the bathroom and use the potty, not realizing or waking until I had already started going, sometimes I'd go more then once before I woke and realized I was still in bed. As I grew up, bedwetting became less of a problem and the realistic dreams stopped. However, even as an adult I still wet the bed once or twice every two or three years. It's best to use the bathroom just before you sleep, so if you read in bed, go after you read. Avoid chocolate drinks, teas, coffee, and jusics just before bed. Water, some sodas (coke), 1/3 glass of milk are genrally are not a problem for a lot of people. Try to find an outlet for your stress when there are major changes in your life or to your job that could effect your income or life style. Those tend to cause deep worry and worry leads to a deeper level of stress we don't deal with day to day regularly, and that can cause lower energy, deeper sleeps....then bedwetting. Some people have found that if you sleep alone, get a stuffed animal to keep near your pillow, a small through blanket or bathrobe you can toss on the bed with you at night, or extra pillows to fill the space. It's a comfert thing, you don't have to cuddle them, just having them near can calm your mind and relax the body. If afraid to stay the night with a friend or share a bed, confide in them your secret so they are warned and percautions can be made to protect them and the bed. Or stay up all night, sleep seprately, or use a diaper. You can always blame it on a freak medical condition in the morning or break down crying. You'll find that once you can realax around others and let yourself feel at ease with the bed you'll be sleeping in, your chances of bedwetting are reduced. It's in part a mental issue. If you worry about wetting the bed while staying with someone, your more likely to actually wet the bed. Eventually, you simply get over your feelings of embrasment and just shurg it off. It's not something that'll go away completely but is manageble without the use of diapers and medications.

I have wet my bed since I was about 10. I have been to the doctors with my Mom when I was young and my wife. The only reason the doctors have found is stress. So I have worn a diaper to bed ever since the first doctor visit. Things could be a lot worse.

I have accidents during the day time occasionally. I have an issue with a sudden extreme urgency to go pee and I dont always make it. My husband has no problem with this and infact he claims its a turn on. So for those of you worried about not dating or finding a mate b/c of your wetting problems get that out of your head. There is someone for everyone. Remember it could always be worse.

I have wet the bed a long time since I was a kid. Have been checked by doctors and they find nothing. I decided a long time ago to do my own thing. I use a waterproff pad to sleep on and I wear diapers and plastic pants to sleep.This seems to work the best for me. I have lived like this for many years. To me this is the way to go. You could have somthing that is realy bad but this is just a bit of a problem. Think of a lot of other people have major problems compared to a wet bed.

I suffer with bed wetting and dont know why, it is very embarrasing and makes me so upset. I just cant seem to find a reason for this, I have in the past had to also wear adult incontinence pads due to wetting during the day but that, luckily, seems to have subsided. I still have the night wetting problems and just dont know what to do I have even tried to end my life because of this.

I wish I could be as relaxed and accepting of my bed wetting problem as some of the people that have left comments on this site. my bed wetting is the shame of my life. i cant bear it. as a kid i occasionally wet the bed up til age 8. then at the age of 15 i started wetting again. from age 15 to 22 i wet the bed maybe 10 times. but since the age of 22 it has happened more frequently and i have a very weak bladder during the day. ive been to the doctor and tried medication like emselex and oxybutin. they worked most of the time but not all the time. because of the shame that i feel it has knocked my confidence, and ive really cut myself off from friends and would not even think about going out with someone romantically. day to day i frequently panic trying to find a toilet. i am too mortified to even think about talking to anyone. i have accepted that i am a bed wetter, but i just cannot deal with it.

Posted by Optional on 15/09/2010 at 12:54

I am a 44 year old woman, and am a bed wetter. I was a child bed wetter, until I was 16, then it stopped. When I was 42, I started wetting the bed on occasion. Now I wet everynight. I use diapers at night, so I don't get the bed wet. Sometimes they leak, so I also have an absorbent pad that I also sleep on. I have tried alarms, and behavior changes, but I am a very deep sleeper and do not wake up when I start to pee. Sometimes I don't pee much, and other times it is as if my whole bladder empties. I have had some day time accidents too.

hi i dont wet the bed but i am mother of a teen boy 15yr. He has always wet the bed every night> He takes DAVP melts 2 before bed and this does help him. He is now dry 13/14 nights Yeah! he does still have some nights that he is wet especially when worried about wetting or when he is really cold. Without the DDAVP melts from the doctor he would be wet every night. The doctor says that long term use could damage his kidneys though. He too is very upset about this. so for all u kids out there who are embrassed and feel depressed about this YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Ask your mom to take u to the doctors and ask about DDAVP melts. It may help for those sleepovers and the teen years anyways.

I am 35 and had problems wetting the bed for many years . my wife is very understanding about the problem, and so this makes an embarrassing situation easier to deal with. I have learned to manage my problem by wearing disposable briefs at night . There are so many other problems we could have, so if wetting the bed is the only one its not too bad.

as a kid i wet the bed only a couple of times, but after a car accident at age 12 when i was asleep- i have been wetting the bed ever since. randomly- whether i drink beer or water, daytime naps or full nights of sleep. i really am frustrated- my self image has been horrible all my life and ive stopped myself from having a girlfriend because of the shame.

I am 34 and have started wetting the bed almost every night for the past month. I wet the bed often as a child, but through my teens and 20s, I never had a problem. Then, a month ago, I was diagnosed with underactive thryoid, was started on Levothyroxine, and WHAM. I have started bed wetting again. I don't know if it's linked but I can't find much about it on the internet. Fortunately my husband is very understanding, but even so, who the heck wants to have to shower and change the bed at 4am each morning because it's soaked? I almost shudder at the thought of wearing diapers because I'm more concerned about WHY this has started happening to me again after so many "dry" years. I would so love to know if anyone else has had the same side-effects from Levothyroxine or not.

I stopped wetting the bed when I was about 5 but when I went to boarding school at around 11, I started wetting the bed again, but the weirdest thing was when I would go back home for holidays and stuff it stopped then back to school again, the problem would start again, this went on for another 3 or so years then it stopped, it hasn't come back again, I'm now 35, and just thought I'd see if there was a reason so I stumbled upon this website, I used to dream I was in the restroom too and would wake up having wet the bed...

Posted by Optional on 20/08/2010 at 12:05

im 18 and have had occasional accidents every month or so. im living with my boyfriend now so its really difficult to keep hiding it. its the most horrible feeling to wake up wet with my boyfrind sleeping beside me and having to clean it without waking him. i try not to drink much after dark and always try to urinate b4 i got to bed but sometimes it just happends. i usually have a dream about going to the br or swimming.

Posted by RD on 19/08/2010 at 02:17

I never had much of a problem as a child, I can remember couple of times, but never after the age of ten. In my thirties twice I wet the bed while dreaming about taking a pee. In my forties I wet 7 or 8 times including one night at a hotel. Again I usually was dreaming about being on the toilet, but once I was dreaming about driving a race car and another I couldn't remember any dream. By my fifties I made a decision as I was trying to clean the pee stains from my mattress (I was getting a new one delivered and the old taken away, I did not want the delivery men to see the stains) that I did not like waking up in wet sheets. I had tried plastic mattress covers, but I sweat too much and still had the wet sheets, blankets and sometimes pillow to deal with. I found plastic pants on the Internet and a fabric website that sold Birdseye fabric by the yard and I made myself several diapers. At first it felt rather strange pinning on a diaper before going to bed, but I soon got used to it, and the first time I woke up in a wet diaper in the middle of the night, I didn't need to jump up and try to blot up the wetness. In fact I rolled over and went back to sleep and dealt with the wet diaper in the morning. On rare occasions I decide that because I only wet a couple of times each year, I can go without the diaper, what are the odds? The last time I went without I was cleaning the mattress in the morning, so now, no matter how tired I am or whatever, I always wear the diaper, it just makes my nights a little less stressful.

This site is so interesting. I have a family member who has suffered intermittently and we have had advice over the years. Only now have I found out that there is a link with diabetes - we have that in the family and I have also noticed that it is worse when the person has had a growth spurt had a cold been tired or worried (exams) It has not been bad to cope with as asthmatics need to take their own bedding to avoid such attacks at night - so that meets a dual purpose. Because no-one talks about it the treatment range is really limited It would be helpful if sufferers and their families who do not have the condition were to set out a questionnaire on the internet and really investigate the background medical histories and what else has gone on in the family.

Sometimes I just want to kill myself. I don't want to stay over at friends houses because I'm afraid to wet their beds. I'm afraid that it won't stop and I'm going into high school now and i still wet the bed every night, I don't know what to do.

I am 43 years old and have been bed wetting for over 25 years. I got married and my wife and I discussed the use of a pad as she worked in an old peoples home and got me a few to try. My god the best decision of my life I now make sure that I put my pad on befor bed and change it in the night if I have to, but what releif no more wet bed just a wet pad. If you had to cut a peice of wood you use a saw a pad is just another tool for the job. My advice is if you wet try to get it sorted if you cannot wear a pad.

I'm 47 and male and I've had bladder issues since I was 40. I have had all the urology tests and I have a bladder defect and it's not treatable. I use pads at night and a lebag during the daytime. I have got used to dealing with this and it's just a part of me now. I have even managed dating and my girlfriend know all about my problems and accepts them. Anyone else who is suffering from any type of wetting or bedwetting problem I would beg them to seek medical advice as soon as they start having these problems, as often there can be simple remedies and if not you will get great help and advice on how to deal with it.

I am 49 and I still wet the bed 3 or 4 times out of 7, I used to do the same as a child and I probably always will. Wearing a Diaper/Nappy with plastic or rubber pants is not as embarrasing as having to apologise for wetting someone elses bed. My parents were supporitve and the doctor tried all sorts of meds and the alarm but without success, I did reduce the bed wetting a bit after the alarm but I had better success with hiding the accidents by not telling mum, I often went to bed in a wet bed and told her when the bed had run out of dry places to sleep in. I now wear a Diaper/Nappy when I sleep, even if that means doing the same when I sleep at a friends house. Most of my friends are open minded and are okay with my little problem. They would rather I pee in my Nappy than soak their bed. One friend calls me tiddles, I have a feline side too. A problem like this seems to be only a problem if I make it a problem. Most people seem to be happy with me and my nappy if I tell them the truth first.

I have been wetting my bed since teenage. I don't remember I wetted bed often when I was a child. Now I am 30. The problem seems come and go then back again for no reason (ay least that I am aware of), sometimes I drink much water before sleep but able to wake up to the toilet or simply manage to hold it til morning. Yet I would wet the bed sometimes even tho I drink no water whole day and go to toilet before going to bed. Sometimes it happens more often sometimes it seems disappear until one night its all over again. I learned to live with it and st times it happens frequently I try to take more precautious measures even knowing it might not work. My mum know about it (at least until up to when I left home 9 years ago I guess. She once told me when I wad still a teen that my father also wet the bed til 30s...) and I am surprised to see the myber of comments to this problem here.

I find that about once every 1-2 years (never more than once in a year) I'll have an episode where I'm dreaming of using the restroom, I'll wake up and find my bed is wet. Sometimes the dream makes no sense and I question my sanity for how I didn't realize it was a dream and wake up (like if just before using the restroom I was battling ghosts with Little Red Riding hood in Dracula's summer beach house). I've been looking around and it seems to be fairly natural so long as it doesn't happen 3+ times per six months. Also, I stayed up all night last time it happened and had two glasses of water before bed, and it happened 3 hours after I fell asleep so I wasn't exactly prepared to wake up yet.

I have always had a bedwetting problem. Up until I was about 16 or so, I did it every night. Since then it has been very erratic; sometimes it will not happen for weeks or even months, other times I might wet every night for a period of time. Mostly, it's maybe one or two times a week. No doctor, consultant, specialist has ever been able to diagnose the reason for it, much less come up with a cure. I am now so used to it that I long ago gave up worrying about it. I fully understand that most bedwetters are terrified about other people finding out; I was like that myself at one time. But as I've got older, and been less concerned about others knowing about my "problem", I have found that in fact, most people don't, and would never think of, laugh at me. Since I came to terms with my bedwetting, if someone wants to sleep with me, or I want to sleep with someone, I always warn them about what might happen, and offer to wear a nappy if they would prefer. And I have to say that I find that most people are not too bothered about it. You might think so, but I promise you, if you don't worry about it, then most other people won't either.

Interesting, im 18 and still wet the bed.

Posted by Danielle on 28/06/2010 at 09:57

I have to say with the internet it makes it easier for people who wet the bed to contact and talk about it without embarassment or fear of predujce nad it is pleasing to see for me at least as this is the first time i have ever talk about this to anyone other than family closest friend specialists or gp's. as i have said to my doctor on many occasions it is not the type of conversation you can bring up at dinner is it? it depends on the situation you are brought up in if you are taught that it is something to hide and be embarressed by then you will grow up doing so, if you are taught that it is something that needs to be dealt with openly honestly and with compassion then that is what you will do you still won't like it but you will do it. on another note congratulations for all your courage in sharing your progress with us and please keep doing so as what may or may not work for you could help someone else keep smiling

well i recently started wetting my bed again after a long time that it hadnt happen.i dont know if is normal, but it kind of scares me a little bit.

Posted by Optional on 22/06/2010 at 08:02

I have wet the bed most of my life, as a child I was not very motivated by treatments so they didn't work very well, and I found it hard to maintain good hygiene as I nearly always did my best to hide the problem from others. Now I think it is a bit late for me to start using buzzer treatments. I also have a dream where I think I am going to the toilet and when I wake up I have peed the bed. Seems to be a common pattern in bedwetting.
