A couple of petitions on Change.org that I saw

if you know of any younger teen/youth or smaller adult who either have bedwetting issues or are incontinent I just saw a couple of petitions on Change.org that someone might find helpful

the first one is petitioning diaper companies to add teen sized diapers to fill the size gap between toddler/youth diapers and adult diapers

Diaper companies make diapers for adults and babies, but not for teens. My petition is aiming for diaper companies to make diapers that are specifically for teenagers. Sure, adults and babies are most likely going to need them because of their age. But, there are a lot of teens with bladder problems that might actually be grateful for it. Because, with problems like that being helped just a little, it will most likely make a BIG difference in the future. So, would you rather have embarrassed teenagers become more distant because of their humiliation, or do you want them to be more close because of their relief?



the other petition is to Kimberly Clark corporation to add a tabbed version of their Goodnites

We as special needs parents have a hard time with finding diapers that fit out littles when the get older. The goodnights overnight pull ups is our next go to if insurance doesn't pay for them. But even though the goodnights fit older children it is hard to change due to the fact that they are pull ups and don't have tabs. Depending on your child's condition or disability it can even be tougher. Sign this petition to see if us parents can make a change. Let's keep being our children(s) advocate.

Please sign

My name is Samantha and I am a single mom of a son with special needs. It is difficult to put rash ointment on then try to pull up the pull up. Not all insurance companies pay for diapers. I want to make a change so that we as parents can get the best for our children


this is being posted in case anyone here finds the petitions helpful
 
How about petitioning for larger changing tables in bathrooms so we or someone helping us doesn't have problems changing the diaper.
 
I'd like to nominate that even teens should watch the videos on the link below.
The first one is: Urinary Incontinence. There are two others on that page. The "related videos" might have more.
It came from the NAFC thread: "Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) and Male Sling (two different items)" by larryw61, down the page a few comments.
It's the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, so it's reliable.
It gives even teens a chance to understand what's going on, choices they might want to discuss with their doctors or even parents. It might give them the nudge or courage to bring it up. Maybe even the motivation to ask the companies for teen-sized diapers, or at least try pads, or sign the petition. It might help them realize they aren't alone.

The ER in the hospital that I go to has a changing spaces bathroom and I think there are a few in other parts of the building.
