15 year old son continues to wet the bed

[dan3010]

My son is 15 years old and he continues to wet the bed every night and I don’t know what to do. His doctor has also told me that by age 17, he’ll likely grow out of it, that’s good to know, but how do I make him get dry before he turns 17?

He also said that bedwetting in people 17 and over warrants a medical evaluation to figure out the underlying cause. Do I buy depends or something for him so his sheets are not always soaked?

I wet the bed and wear prefold style pin-on cloth diapers covered with plastic pants. I buy them from All Together Enterprises also known as Adulclothdiaper.com. I wear the Leakmaster Deluxe 7 mil plastic pants with enclosed elastic which prevents leaks. I also wear the Euroflex high back plastic pants with enclosed elastic which I special ordered from L.L. Medico. I use liners inside my cloth diapers (also purchased from Adultclothdiaper.com) and have the bed covered with the Dry Defender quilted underpad. If you go the disposable route the Better Dry diaper with tapes has a good reputation for managing bedwetting. I've tried the Better Dry and sometimes they leaked. In general I find that prefold style pin-on cloth diapers covered with a pair of plastic pants do the best job of protecting the bed. Your son may be able to fit into the smallest size of Leakmaster Deluxe plastic pants.Hope that helps.
