Bed wetting solution

I have worn cloth diapers at night for years now. I find them to be so comfortable, and they rearely leak. Rather than plastic pants, which wear out too quickly, I wear the PUL pants made by Gary. They cost more at first, but they last for years. I bet I have had mine for at least 10 years.

Cloth diapers require a little more work, but in the long run they are cheaper than disposables. Plus, you're not contributing to landfill waste.

Here's how I wash my cloth diapers:
In the morning, I thoroughly rinse them out. Then I wring them out and pour some white vinegar on them. The vinegar eliminates the urine smell and helps to rinse all the laundry detergent out.

I push the "Add Water" button on my washing machine.
I push "Extra Rinse" cycle

If it's a sunny day, I let them dry outside as it keeps them nice and white. Then I put them in the dryer for 10 or 15 minutes to fluff them up. Otherwise, just dry in the dryer, it usually takes an hour.
 
J....,
Another thought that escapes most of us is that if the bladder isn't challenged all day and or all night, it shrinks in capacity. The best example, of course, is if one is using a catheter that allows continuous flow. (Don't need a bladder.) Those that get up three or more times per night are responding to the urge, since the reduced capacity bladder is approaching its limit (too often). A motivated leaker, like me, would use an external device to help impede the leakage, allowing one to ignore the first urge to leap from the bed. In just a few days, the bladder is back to its normal capacity producing fewer urge episodes...and, importantly, producing much better sleep. The external device may be needed thereafter, or maybe not, depending on individual situations. Best wishes. Duane amhelp@comcast.net
 
The best way to manage bedwetting is to wear a high-capacity diaper. My two favourite brands are Confidry 24/7 and Rearz Inspire+ InControl. I used to use cloth diapers, but washing and drying cloth diapers is too much work for me now that excellent disposables are available. I’ve also been fascinated in ads for Pjama pants, but the price is too steep for me, and I’d need to wear a diaper anyway.

Hi Spaz,
Where are they available? Sounds like something all of could try.

A site called abuniverse. I hate going to sites that are ABDL related but the diapers are worth it.

Hard pass on that for me. They're designed to NOT be dry against the skin. They keep the bed dry and are made to make you feel wet so you wake up.

When I started wetting the bed I tried a bedwetting alarm for a bit...then i tried setting my alarm clock for ever few hours to wake me up. The only thing any of that did for me was make me miserable and exhausted. I still had to strip the bed and do loads of laundry, never stopped wetting, and got terrible sleep.

When I tried diapers and got over the initial self pity and embarrassment, I realized I got the best sleep of my life and hardly any inconvenience beyond adjusting to how it felt to wear diapers. Those pants might make sense to try to train a child who's dealing with bedwetting, but I don't see them as a good option for someone with serious urge incontinence who values their sleep.
 
@Vlesia
I checked out the super undies website and it looks like they have a good washable product that fits up to size 48” waist.
I’m not familiar with them but they look well made and could be a solution for some.

Is it not always like this, that you have a wet feeling if you use some cloth solutions? They don't have superabsorber so I think they will feel always a little bit wet. This pants are also made for adults and not only for training, I think.
 
clickable textManaging bedwetting is a highly personal and often tedious necessity but seeing as how some of you are asking about pjama pants I will share my experience with them: I have 2 pairs because they take 2 days to dry out on the line. My first pair of pjamas lasted me 12 months and probably 50 Wash's without even 1 leak. Then one night they soaked through and get my sheets wet so I retired that pair. Comfortable!!! Once I was staying in the guest house and I managed to lock myself out when I was going for a smoke outside. I was wearing my pjamas, it was 3am, and I couldn't contact anyone to help, so I walked 3km to my friend house in my pjamas, the police stopped by to see what I was doing and then I had a smoke with my 2 mates and noone said anything about my pjamas. Amazing
Expensive but worth it for me.

@Ashleyallday Thanks for the review and the pic share. You always wonder what a product will really look like and how good it is outside of the staged marketing images and pr messages a company puts out.

They actually look pretty normal.

Hi Jlinch. I am assuming by 'drink' you mean an alcoholic one. Maybe try and see if certain types of alcohol or amount is the trigger for you and adjust your drink(s) to not hit that trigger. Like maybe your wetting gets trigger by 2 glasses of wine but not by 2 beers or a harder type alcohol drink.

As to dealing with the wet bed as others have suggested using a good waterproof mattress pad can help. Some are absorbed and moister wicking so you don't wake in a bed that feel soaked. Now you will not wake feeling total dry, but dryer than using a cheap plastic or not absorbing waterproof pad.

Hope you find a solution that works for you.
