Adult Bedwetting Community Group
A place for adults who still have problems wetting the bed to talk about their feelings, to discover solutions, and to talk about life in general.
Hello Everyone,
I know I've brought this up before, but I just get embarrassed and feel alone on some days. I also don't know if people see my posts as they get older on here as I didn't see many replies.
I am 29 and have always wet the bed at night and have problems with my brain getting the signal to go to the bathroom during the day. I often don't know until it's too late. I also have bowel accidents due to these issues with my brain and nerves. Even though setting an alarm helps, I still have to wear GoodNites (pull ups) during busy days or NorthShore Supreme medical diapers at night. I've basically had this problem my whole life and got more embarrassed after high school when the pull ups stopped working and I had to switch to bulky medical diapers at night. I know it's not my fault since I have a lot of medical conditions that affected my development. (Hydrocephalus, brain bleed from being born premature, spine/nerve issues) I also have Autism and Tourette's Syndrome, but I just feel like I'm the only one.
Is there anyone else with similar experiences? How do you deal with them?
I appreciate everyone in helping me feel less alone in dealing with my medical conditions.

Hi. Thanks for sharing, it's not an easy thing to do. I have also suffered with night time bedwetting all my life (I'm 40). But I only got diagnosed when I was 38 years old. So I had so much anxiety when the cause was unknown. Now that I am aware of the fact it is a medical condition (I have Overactive Bladder), I have become much more accepting of myself and my condition. I manage it as best I can with plastic sheets or special incontinence mattress covers on the bed. I also have diapers. I have been having treatment which has helped. I hope you are able to overcome your challenges. I have my good days, and my not so good days, but I'm glad this site exists where I have found that I am not the only one suffering in this way, and this also helps me get through each day.
