But I'm Too Old to Wet the Bed...
Support and Hope for Teens With Nocturnal Enuresis
By Amy Carey
Another option that can save you the embarrassment of wet sheets is to use disposable absorbent underpants such as GoodNites® Underpants. You can put them on while you're changing into your pajamas, and no one will be the wiser.
Next, go online to find local or online support groups where you can exchange ideas with other older children suffering from this condition. Visit GoodNites.com, developed by GoodNites® Underpants, which offers information and discussions boards for both parents and children. iParenting.com also offers a variety of articles related to bedwetting. Getting advice from real-life families experiencing nocturnal enuresis can help your own family get through this time.
With your parents and your doctor, sit down and develop a plan. Don't give up. The odds are good that you can join the thousands of teens who have beaten nocturnal enuresis.
For more information about bedwetting, log on to the GoodNites® Underpants Web site at www.goodnites.com where you can meet other parents going through the same experience.
| GoodNites® Underpants are discreet, absorbent underpants your child wears at night. They help your child cope with bedwetting until they outgrow it. Designed for kids 45 to 125 lbs., GoodNites® Underpants means outstanding leakage protection – plus a fit that looks and feels like regular underwear. And since your child is the only person who will know he is wearing them, GoodNites® Underpants also come with other benefits – like privacy, independence and confidence – to help you both sleep easier.
