Being a teenager can be a stressful time in life. There’s the pressure of fitting in,preparing to get into college,going to prom,learning to drive. Now imagine if you also had to tell someone of the opposite sex that you have to wear diapers and plastic pants because you still wet the bed?
Teenagers can be very cruel when it comes to people being different. I think it’s important for teenagers to be able to talk to other people with similar problems. There are many online support groups for various health problems and teenagers suffering from bed-wetting should take advantage of the many online health resources.
You can also start an online support group if you want. Many older children,adolescents,teenagers,and adults deal with bed-wetting every night so there are a lot of people who would be interested if you do decide to start a bed-wetting support group.
I think it would help if teenage celebrities(as well as adult celebrities) started talking about subjects such as bed-wetting-it would make it less taboo.
I also think it’s important to be able to confide in people about this problem-whether a family member or relative,a teacher,or friend. Sometimes talking to people helps a great deal.. It’s important to be able to gauge the depth and quality of a person’s friendship. There are some people who are real compassionate and understanding. These people are very accepting of other people’s problems and they’re easy to confide in. If you feel you have friends of this nature and if you’re having difficulty coming to terms with wearing diapers to bed then you might want to consider discussing this with them. It’s important to remember one thing-there are plenty of people of all ages who wet the bed so the next time you’re getting ready for bed and putting on your diapers and plastic pants keep this in mind!

My daughter is 16 and a bedwetter and wears the cloth pin on diapers and adult plastic pants to bed every night.they work for her.she started off in disposables,but got rashes from them,so it was the cloth diapers and plastic pants.I buy her the Gerber flat cloth diapers,10 to a package,in the 24×27 inch size from Target and Walmart.her plastic pants i get in the adult size medium,in both pastels and prints from a couple of websites.She doesnt mind me calling the plastic pants rubberpants.she will be recieving her sacrement of catholic confirmation this comming may and per the parish dress code has to wear a white poofy,floor length dress and veil with tights and white shoes and she has been told that she is going to wear her cloth diapers and rubberpants under the tights for the day.

Our daughter just turned 14 over a month ago and is still bedwetting from her puberty.She has been wearing cloth diapers and rubberpants to bed every night since the bedwetting started before age 12.She is used to wearing them and they are no big deal for her.They keep her bed dry and she does have times when feels like a baby while wearing them,but it is not too often.She has an amazing group of close friends who support her and when some of them sleep over,they show their support by wearing some of her diapers and rubberpants also which i feel is very nice!

Our daughter is 14 going on 15 and a bedwetter and also wears the cloth diapers and rubberpants to bed every night.Normally she wears a nightgown to bed over her diapers and rubberpants,but recently since the weather has turned colder,she bought a couple of blanket sleepers that zip up the front and has been wearing them to bed.The rubberpants she wears over her cloth diapers are adult size and fit her blousy over the diapers.When she has the blanket sleeper on,she kind of resembles a baby as the diapers and rubberpants bulge out under the sleeper!I am a little worried that she may like the feeling of being like a baby wearing the blanket sleepers over her diapers and rubberpants.Any one got any advice for me?
To marjory and clarice-We have a new adopted 14 year old daughter who we got the first part of december,2016 and she is in cloth diapers and rubberpants 24/7.she wanted to start over as a baby,so we put her into the cloth diapers and rubberpants instead of didposables.She wears tee shirts most of the time with her diapers and uses a pacifier and drinks from a bottle.
Yeah right never heard such nonsense in my life you adopted a 14 yr old and the child is perfectly
Ok and you put her in diapers and plastic pants 24/7!
Come off it if the child was mentally challenged and
Or physically challenged I could understand it!.
But you said you adopted a 14 yr old girl and put her in diapers 24/7
That is unbelievable, why? Is she mentally challeged or physically challenged ?
If not then perhaps you need a visit frop child protective services as that is a form of abuse
To Majory-My daughter is 15 and a bedwetter and we use regular cloth pin on diapers with adult size rubberpants on her at night.I use the Gerber flat cloth diapers with the gerber diaper pins and pin the diapers on her before bedtime then put the adult size rubberpants on over them.Now that the cold weather is here,she wears a footed blanket sleeper over the diapers and rubberpants and she looks so cute with the blanket sleeper on and the diapers and rubberpants bulging out underneat it! the rubberpants fit her blousy and crinkle under the sleeper.To my surprise,she actually admitted that she kind of likes feeling like a baby in the diapers,rubberpants and blanket sleeper!

Our daughter is 14 and still bedwetting from puberty!When she first started puberty before 12,the bedwetting started right away and we put her into the cloth diapers and rubberpants for it.She has been wearing them ever since and now at 14 we are hoping her bedwetting will soon come to an end.

Our daughter is 15 and has been a bedwetter now for 10 months and she wears the cloth pin on diapers and adult size rubberpants to bed every night.All of her rubberpants are in white and pastel colors.Recently she showed me some print outs of the adult size rubberpants with babyprints on them and told me she wants me to buy her a few pair.She told me they are cute and that she is kind of bored with her white and pastel rubberpants.She has been bugging me quite a bit the last several days to get her the rubberpants.Should i buy them for her?

I am the mom of two beautiful daughters,ages 13 and 12,[yes,a year apart!] and i use cloth diapers and rubberpants on them for special occasions and holidays.For easter,i buy them cute poofy easter dresses with lace socks and white shoes and put the diapers and rubberpants on both of them when i dress them easter morning. For christmas,i dress them in their christmas dresses in the late afternoon on christmas eve and put white tights over their diapers and rubberpants.After late church service on christmas eve,i put fresh cloth diapers on them and they wear the diapers and rubberpants to bed,and then under their dresses christmas day.They both were flowergirls in two weddings this past summer and wore the diapers and rubberpants under their flowergirl dresses.

If they like wearing diapers and plastic baby panties and you enjoy babying them try diapering them every night. Transform their bedroom into a nursery. Complete with adult size cribs and changing table add short dresses and rumba panties. If they don’t wet their diapers feed them baby bottles every hour until they are wetting regularly.
Our daughter is 14 and will be finially making her First Communion on may 20th with the 2nd graders in the class of 2018.She all ready has her communion dress and veil with the lace anklets and the white shoes bought.Last week the husband and i informed her that she is going to wear a cloth diaper and rubberpants like the little girls do,under her dress with a tee shirt as her top.She was somewhat surprised,but accepted it.I now have the cloth diaper made and bought the diaper pins to pin it on her with and got the white adult size rubberpants from a website and her tee shirt from Target.The only other older girl in the class is 15 and the daughter and i were talking to her and her mom after class last week and her mom told us that she is doing the cloth diaper and rubberpants on her daughter also,so my daughter feels better knowing the other girl will be wearing them also.
2 of ours wet the bed and I use cloth diapers and plastic pants on them. They are 9 and 7 years old and wet every night. I have found that it is much easier to use the cloth diaper plastic pants as it is very easy to add another diaper if they seem to need extra padding. When they wake up mornings the bed clothes are dry because the plastic pants have done their work.

So I was diapered at night from the age of 9 to just after turning 15, cloth diapers. pins and the baby pants were an every night thing for me. All started one day at my aunts and then became a nightly thing at home. I was told its always older boys who bed wet and that a regular baby diaper is the best way to take care of it.

3’s Mommy, my mommie used to change my Plastic Baby Panties until age 11. At bedtime she would hold out her
Hand any say it’s time for mommy to change your Rubber Baby Panties and Diapers. I have to admit I enjoyed looking
up at her while she changed my Cloth Diaper. She would talk baby talk to me as she Slipped my Rubber Baby Pantie on
me!! In the morning she would change my wet diaper and Slip or Snap a Plastic Baby Pantie without Diaper and I would toddle around the house in my Pastel colored Rubber Baby Panties!! I miss my Plastic Baby Panties!

My neice is 16 and a bedwetter and has to wear cloth diapers and plastic pants because she broke out in rashes fro the disposables.They live fairly close to us and i go to her house quite often.I have seen her in pastel plastic pants-pink,yellow and blue.Last weekend i was over there and she was ready for bed and had a pair of babyprint plastic pants on over her cloth diapers! I asked her about them and she told me they are cute and girly! I thought they were kind of cute also but am wondering if they are ok for her to be wearing over her diapers since she is 16! Can any one give me an opinion?

My daughter is 14 and we went to the public pool last week to swim,as it was quite hot outside and we wanted to do some swimming.We saw two teen girls there around the daughters age with plastic pants sticking out from under their tank style swimsuits.It didnt appear that either one had a diaper on under the plastic pants.The daughter told me she wanted to ask them why they were wearing the plastic pants,but she didnt want to embarrass them.

I met up with a long time friend the other day whom i havent seen in a few years and as we were talking she told me about her 15 year old daughter who is a bedwetter.She told me that her daughter wears cloth diapers and plastic pants to bed every night and that she is okay with wearing them.She told me that her daughter started wearing disposable diapers at first,but broke out in rashes from them and that it was the daughters idea to start wearing the cloth diapers and plastic pants.

I am a girl 15 and a bedwetter for the last year and a half.I am not ashamed to admit that i wear the cloth diapers and plastic pants to bed every night. The diapers are pinned on me with regular baby diaper pins and my plastic pants are adult size in prints and pastels.They do keep my bed dry and i do feel kind of like a baby wearing them,which helps me relax and relieve stress.I have worn the diapers and plastic pants for christmas and easter and feel that there is nothing wrong in wanting to feel cute and little girl like in my cute dresses.

Is it proper for parents to require their 15 year old daughter to wear cloth diapers and plastic pants as her bedwetting protection every night? They require me to wear them to save money and the environment which i understand,but i feel like a baby at bedtime with them on under my nightgown.

I r liked wearing cloth diapers and plastic pants especially when I was a teenager. I was the only one of 4 boys that wet the bed after age 5. My parents never made a big issue out of it but too often my mom was way to casual about stacking and leaving my laundered diapers and plastic pants out in places where anyone coming into my house could see them. I would tell her this constantly and she’d apologize and the next thing I knew she’d do it again. I know it wasn’t intentional but since I was in diapers every night, and sometimes for awhile in the mornings it was just a family thing. My older brother was kind of a jerk about it at times reminding me what a little boy I was wetting in my sleep. I’m not sure when but somewhere at 17 or 18 I pretty much got over feeling embarrassed about being in diapers. I guess it was just an acceptance thing since I pretty much knew this was a permanent issue. Many doctor visits, medications, alarms, being woken up to go at night, and really anything tried was totally in vain as I was an every night wetter. By this age I took total control of taking care of the diapers, sheets, plastic mattress cover, etc. myself. I no longer had the usual morning question from my mom “was your diaper wet this morning?” I know she was always hoping it would magically end some day. The only thing I didn’t do until my late 20’s was have a through eurodynamic study done that simply determined I had. Neurogenic bladder, probably since birth. The dr. Told me my bladder more or less reacts like a babies in that the communication lines between my brain and bladder do not work well. This also explained why I also always struggled with daytime leaking and having to find bathrooms 15+ times a day and had way too many embarrassing pant wetting episodes. Anyway had I had these tests done early on my stress levels regarding wetting and diaper use would have been much easier to accept. After those many years I grew fond of my diapers and now feel almost naked if I fall asleep without my diapers on. Not to mention I will soak whatever or wherever I am. I now use disposables during the daytime as well and don’t concern myself about going anywhere and anytime.

Many years ago I remember having unexpected bed wetting around the time that I was going through puberty. I think that I was around a 13 or 14 year old boy, and was considered small for my age at that time. My mother used to come into my bedroom each morning to wake me up, and I usually just wore undershorts to bed. Then the weather turned very hot, and my mother gave me permission to sleep naked if I wanted to, so I started sleeping naked. Early one morning I woke up and found that I had kicked off my bed covers, and was laying naked on top of my bed sheets. I had an erection, and felt a very strong urge to pee. Before I could get out of my bed, I heard my mother walking towards my bedroom to come in and wake me up. I didn’t know what to do, so I threw both of my arms up over my head, and shut both of my eyes as if I were sound asleep. I then heard my bedroom door slowly open, and my mother quietly walk over by my bed, and felt her sit on the edge of my bed. For a moment, my mom just sat there, and then I felt her hand rubbing my legs. My mother sometimes woke me up by giving me a massage, which always felt nice. As my mother was rubbing my legs, I started to feel my pee surge up my penis. So, I started rubbing my eyes, as if I were just then waking up, and heard my mother say, “Good morning, honey.” Just as I started to sit up in my bed, my pee started squirting out of my penis. It happened so fast, and I guess that I couldn’t help it. I grabbed my penis, but it was too late, as it was peeing everywhere. My pee stream shot straight up into the air, and was spraying down onto my legs, and bed sheets. My mother just sat there on the edge of my bed, with this surprised look on her face, and her hand on my leg. During the course of peeing, my penis ejaculated, and then finished peeing. My bed sheets, and I were soaked. My mother’s nightie was wet, and there were a few pee puddles on my bedroom floor. My mother said nothing for a moment, and I thought that she was going to be very angry with me. To my surprise, my mother pulled me up into a sitting position, and hugged the stuffing out of me for what seemed like several minutes. After the hugging, mom sat there holding both of my hands, and we talked about boy’s getting erections, and trying to pee in the toilet. I then helped my mother remove my wet bed sheets, and put them into the washing machine, and wipe up the pee puddles on my bedroom floor. Later that same day, when the wet bits of my mattress dried out, my mother laid down a plastic mattress cover, and other protective plastic. While my mother was laying down the plastic on my bed, she confided in me that she had to do the same thing to her bed, as she sometimes had “wetting accidents” in the morning. My mother told me that my bed was well protected, and not to hesitate to let her know if I have another accident. There were other wetting accidents, but I never felt like I needed to hide anything from my mother, as she was always very supportive. Around this same time, I badly injured my ankle, and was bedridden for about two weeks. My mother was a wonderful caregiver during this time, and was always helping me when I had to pee. Looking back, I really appreciated my mother’s patience, and understanding with me during my awkward times as a young teenage boy.
