Bedwetting Support Group
Bedwetting (or nocturnal enuresis or sleepwetting) is involuntary urination while asleep. It is the normal state of affairs in infancy, but can be a source of embarrassment when it persists into school age or the teen or adult years. Find others who are coping with a bedwetting problem and share your experiences and questions.
im a 42 yo bedwetter. I was a bedwetter as a child into my mid teens, my mom had me wear diapers for it. This was in the 80's before pull-ups, so I wore pampers then small attends. I was good 90% of the time with some spells until my mid 30's when I hurt my back and it returned full force so I'm back to diapers again. I've been to the doctor but I haven't really followed up with it, I remember what the doctors did to me as a child and I don't want to go through that again, I can just live with it. I use abena L4 or I'd slip pe for protection.
as a child I never felt embarrassed for being a bedwetter, all my close friends knew about and that I wore diapers but never said a word to me or anyone as far a I know. Mom usually did the diapering up until I was around 10 or 11 when I learned how to put it on but as I think about mom still did a lot especially when I was sick or fell asleep watching tv. Heck my friends moms even diapered me at sleepovers and it never bothered me. Today I do it myself unless I'm sick, drunk or whenever I need help then my wife helps me handle it, she's been very supportive with this and the way I'm handling it.
I know it a hard thing to deal with but they way I think it could a whole lot worst things to live with.
