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.

Accidents out

so I was out in town today with my cousin (my cousin is a girl) and I really needed the toilet so we went to the public toilets and she waited outside for me while I went. By the time I had gotten to the toilet however I had already leaked a bit in my pants. I wear a protective pad during the day though so luckily it was all soaked up by my pad but after I had used the toilet I was going to put a new pad on but there wasn't a bin or anything in the cubicle for my wet one and I couldn't put it back in my bag becouse i had already wet on it. Luckily my cousin knows about my wetting problems and she realised I had been a while in the toilets so she called out for me and I told her about the problem and she said that there where bins in the cubicles in the girls toilets so she helped me sneak in there so that I could change.


it wasn't too much of a problem except from the fact it was very embarrassing but I don't know what I wouldve done without her there to help me and to take me to the girls room. Does anyone have some advice in case this happens again when I'm on my own.


thanks, Sam x

Okay, so the issue was that you didn’t have anywhere in the boys bathroom to throw out your used pad? You didn’t really need to have your cousin sneak you into the girls bathroom to change and throw it out. That occasionally happens to us girls too where there is nowhere to throw out whatever protection we’re wearing or the tiny garbage can in the stall is full. Bring a plastic bag with you, roll up your used pad in toilet paper, stick it on the pkastic bag and throw it out later as you leave the stall. No need to sneak into the girls bathroom for that.

Yer that's a good idea maddy, I didn't have a plastic bag on me but in future it would be a good idea. Thanks for the advise I didn't realise girls had the same problem.

By the way I probably would've just walked around wet if my cousin didn't take me in the girls becouse i would be too scared to go in there by myself.
