I'm 17 years old and wear my litttle sisters goodnites with her every night because I still wet the bed about once a week. I'm scared to tell my mom that I wear them.

I am 17 years old and wet the bed about once a week. The past few years I've been wearing my little 6 year old sisters goodnites every night with her. I don't know how to tell my mom that I wear them at night. I'm scared that if I tell her she will be understanding but also baby me at the same time!!! She know I wet the bed I think but has never told me she does.

Dr Cathrine Answered:

Hi Austin, while I fully understand your embarrassment, this is not something you should try and manage on your own. I find most parents are incredibly supportive and would hate to think of you trying to manage your bedwetting on your own. The most important thing for you to remember is that this is in no way your fault. DryNites are perfect for helping you to manage your bedwetting; they are discrete and can be worn under your pyjamas. You may want to look into DryNites designed for boys as they have different absorbency patterns, with the larger size offering a better fit. There are a number of reasons why teenagers wet the bed so it is very important that you speak with your parents and have them make an appointment for you to see your GP for a full medical assessment.

Regards,
Dr Cathrine
