I dealt with regular bed wetting (and a little day wetting) throughout most of my childhood. The issue mainly resolved by my late teen years, but now as an adult in my 30s, it has fully returned. I manage it by wearing disposable adult diapers to bed every night and sometimes while traveling too. After trying several different types, I found that the plastic-backed tab-style briefs definitely work the best. All others tend toContinue reading

It’s an issue the majority of people don’t want to discuss and when they do talk about it they do so in hushed tones. Cheryle B. Gartley, president of the Simon Foundation for Continence calls it “a closet issue within the closet issue of urinary incontinence.” I’m referring to adult bedwetting. The clinical term for it is nocturnal enuresis and though most people associate it with children and adolescents, there are a significant number of people who deal with this issue their entire life.

I have had to adapt to my surroundings and develop an intricate “cover” for the reasons why I do things, why I have never “slept over”.

I can stay awake all night at my girlfriend’s house and she never knows, but I can’t stay there for more than two nights in a row.
Walked 20 kilometres home from a party because I dozed off.

Just a few situations that primary nocturnal enuresis has put me through.Continue reading

I am almost 40 years old and suffer from adult nocturnal enuresis, the medical term for bedwetting. The following letter describes some of my experiences dealing with this disorder and my thoughts and feelings on the use of diapers to manage the problem. I think that some of my ideas might seem controversial, but I feel many people probably feel the same way but they’re afraid to say so. I realize this letter is long-but I feel that many of these ideas bear repeating. I thought that by sharing some of my experiences it might help people come to terms with their use of diapers to manage bedwetting.Continue reading

Hello. I am a 30 year old male who wets the bed almost every night for as long as I can remember. I wear diapers to bed for this and have worn diapers since I was about 10. My PCP can not find a cure for me and has sent me to a urologist and they have tried many things but nothing helped. My wife has been understanding throughout our 3 yr marriage that if she wants a dry bed then I must wear a diaper to bed.Continue reading
