My four year old boy still wets his bed at night. We use dri-nites and change them in the middle of the night but they are not absorbent enough and still overflow. Can I try the larger 8kg+ drinites or will they be too big?

Dr Cathrine Answered:

Absorbency levels are the same for both sizes so the only reason to change would be if the small size were too small. It is important that the DryNites fit snugly around his leg as improper fit can contribute to leakage. You could always request a sample off the website first to see how they fit. Children’s overnight urine output can be quite variable. You can try and reduce his urine output by making sure he fully empties his bladder just before he goes to sleep and by limiting drinks high in sugar as well as the amount of dairy and citrus he drinks in the evening as these are known to stimulate the kidneys. If you were at all concerned about the amount of urine he is producing I would certainly recommend you consult with your GP.

Dr Cathrine
