" Hi Jo your son feels embarressed because he is at the age to understand he is different all you can do is tell him you understand he has a problem and not to worry about it reassure him that lots of children do it although it may not often be discussed and the vast majority grow out of it soon DONT be temted to try the punishment route in hopes he might stop, he wont infact it could make it worse, as for financially, the cost of some of these products on the market that are supposed to "help" people are extortionate but dont despair there are organisations that help with the financial costs of pull-ups, protective bed clothing and pyjamas etc although you will have to check on the minimum age requirements. Also try not to lower his liquid intake too much just the liquids he drinks (avoid fizzy pop and caffeine) as it could have an adverse affect try drinking plenty of water.

I hope what I have told you will help need anymore info message me "
