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.

Hi all,

I just added a new post to the new Adult Bedwetting member group that was recently created. It's a place where we can talk about some of the struggles and challenges that are unique to those of us who are adults and struggle with this problem -- whether as a new problem or due to never having "outgrown" it from childhood. I know from previous posts that there are a number of other adults here who still struggle with this -- please consider signing up, and come and talk with us! It can be hard as an adult to still be dealing with something like this that's so often thought of as "just a kids' problem" -- but you're not alone here! Hope to hear from more of you soon... :)

I started bedwetting about a year ago. I am a 59 year old male. I will be dreaming I have to pee and end up actually going. I have had 2 full blown accidents where I didnt wake up and 4-5 smaller accidents where I woke myself up. I am now wearing adult diapers most night but probably should wear them every night.

I was very reluctant to join this group feering that people would be able to see that I am in this group. However I do have this problem to some extent and want to let others know that they are not alone. I have only had this problem a few times but it is very imbarrasing. My wife seems to be supportive but she also seems to not want to have sex anymore and I wonder if this has a bearing on that. I to dream I am at the urinal only to wake to find that I am not. I sleep with a "chaulk" on my side of the be now.

I tried going a couple weeks without wearing a diaper since I thought I was doing better and it had been a while since I had a dream that I was peeing then actually did pee. The night before last I had the same recurring dream that I had to go and was frantically looking for a restroom. I started to pee and luckily woke up right away before I got the bed wet but as I ran for the bathroom I was unable to stop going and had my third full blown accident. I guess from here on I will have to wear something everynight even though this only happens about once every month or so.

rexalan,
Better safe than sorry. If diapers give you the security of a good night's sleep, whether you waken dry or wet, use them. Good luck.

I can't believe more people suffer from this like I do! I feel a bit better now. Last night was the worst for me. I was dreaming I had to take my granddaughter to the bathroom and decided I should go too. I try to wake up as soon as I realize I am on a toilet, but last night I remember my brain telling me that I was already awake and really doing this, not just dreaming. What made it so bad was my granddaughter was having a sleepover with me. Thankfully she didn't wake up and I could take care of things without her "finding out". I just confessed to my husband today about how often this really happens and I am planning on seeking medical advise.

My problem is very similar. I am dreaming I have to go to the bathroom and frantically looking for a restroom. When I find it I start going for real. If I wake up and run for the restroom I usually cant stop going once I start. I wear adult diapers almost every night. I get brave now and then and dont wear them but I have a waterproof pad under my side of bed. It was embarrassing at first to wear a diaper but I actually feel much better when I have it on.

I am over 70 and have had the same problem all my life.It was not treated well as a kid and I came in for some teasing and bullying until I found it better to joke about it and so became quite the clown on the topic as my way to cope.As an adult I have tried to take it in stride - "wash & go" I say, and get a life!

I am very glad to see this group. I am a bed wetter and I have been a bed wetter my whole life. I never "outgrew" it. For me now it is not that big of a deal anymore because I have a very supportive wife. What is great is to know that there are other bedwetters my own age out there too. Its such a private thing to be an adult bedwetter and to be in night diapers and plastic pants. I am glad to see others like me.
