Night time enuresis

Looking for recommendations on reusable nighttime underwear. I only have this issue at night, and it often seems to happen several nights in a row, and then weeks and sometimes months of dry nights. I always incorporate the need to go into a dream. I'm tired of washing sheets and ruining mattresses. Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Hey Shawnette,
Have you considered a disposable diaper rather than cloth reusable underwear? I know what you mean about it being inconsistent and hard to predict though!

I am in the same boat. Same frequency and then can go for a week or two..no rhyme or reason to the wetting.

I would wear disposables and when I would wake up dry I would dispose of teh product as normal. After a while I thought I'd try reusables....since I didn't wet every night, I could wear them again. I would wear plastic pants with them.

My wife told me that she would have run the pants through several cycles on teh dryer because they took so long to dry. She said it would be just as cheap to wear depends.

I try to buy my supplies at thrift stores or off of CL.
 
cloth diapers with plastic pants have always worked best for me. I also recommend a plastic mattress cover to protect bed.
 
My husband buys my disposable diapers at our local Family
Dollar, which can be found on the Dollar Tree website. You click on the Family Dollar pin on the DT website.
 
I bedwet infrequently too. Since it is so infrequent I cannot justify wearing disposable protection only to throw it out having never been used. So for me I just keep a waterproof cover on the bed and if I have a wet night I just wash the sheets in the morning. It really isn't a big hassle.

However a good reusable type underwear would be great. Not a diaper, but underwear style like boxerbriefs.
 
Gary pul plastic pants plus abena cotton panties and some thin cloth pads have been my leak solution. Applying a disposable brief is followed by pulling up the abena soft cotton fit panties. Thin cloth reuseable pads are placed between the fit pants and the brief. The fit pants hold the thin cloth pads in place over possible leak areas. For heavy nights I'll add one on each side. During the day I'll use one between my legs. The pad provides a second chance in case of a leak and is a good early warning system. Adding powder between the plastic pants and the fit panties also helps prevent little leaks before it's too late.
Good luck finding what works for you, hope my information is helpful.
