Top 10 reasons why it's okay to be a bedwetter

3) You'll learn bladder control techniques again, lengthening the time between bathroom breaks when you're an adult.
4) You'll feel a sense of shame when you wet yourself, and find as many ways to avoid doing so as possible. This teaches you multi-directional problem solving.
5) You'll understand that a relatively minor and global quirk such as this will ostracize you from your peers, and so you will understand society better.
6) Diaper technology has become so cheap and effective that wearing diapers to bed every night is cheaper than doing the laundry, or running the possibility of ruining the mattress, even if you remain dry some nights. The monetary aspect is not as high as it used to be.
7) Due to #6, diapers will most likely be in your future. If the formative years are any indication, "stepping down" from underwear will cause such shame and guilt that you will redouble your efforts towards independence and maturity.

I couldn't get to ten without feeling disgusted. These are bullshit reasons anyways, but psychologically they're more plausible than the marketing scheme Goodnites have set up :P

I don't think so, those sound like good reason ^ ^ but it's not only just incontinent that they'll sympathize with, wetting the bed allows one to have humility. And that makes them less likely to be a bully or harrass others, or so I've read.

kinda interesting, but clearly goodnites propaganda...

To counterpoint this, I think this chase of justifications and rationalizations is a fruitless and endless cycle. It becomes just an abstract intellectual pursuit. The bottom line is that bedwetting exists, so deal with it.

You don't need to think about it very much, because there's nothing much to think about. Bedwetting is not a moral or ethical discussion, and it is not a complex scientific problem. It simply is something that happens, so it shouldn't be worried about or given too much thought. Just deal with the direct "night to night" reality, and go about your day as always.

I will admit it take some self-confidence to simply say, "I don't need to think about it. It doesn't matter." However, in the end that is the solution. This is a problem that requires action (e.g. wearing diapers) to deal with it, but not that much reasoning. There are many problems in life that are similar. Some things require deep thought, others require dedicated action, and most require a blend. It is a certain skill to know how much of each is necessary, though great precision is rarely required.

Full disclosure: I only came to this conclusion after years of reasoning.

Diaper propaganda. We need to spread more of this around.

Ya gotta love marketing people. They can make just about anything sound like a good idea, at least until you think it through. Some examples:

1. Goodnites
2. Colon cleansing
3. Spraying toxic chemicals all over your house and yard.
4. Time shares
5. Work at home schemes
6. Hybrid cars
7. Barack Obama

I could go on forever.

Maxx, you reminded me of the South Park (Asspen) episode with the skiing and the parents get stuck at time share seminars. Anyone else see that?

[bebe huey]

Hey!, I just bought property in South Park!, real quiet!

[Mauiman]

Yes I also have heck with this problem which the wrong kinds of diapers cause me to not be able to sleep well at all.

[DiaperBadBoy]

Yay!!! It's good to be a bed wetter. I knew there was nothing wrong with it.

I was thinking the same thing, but really, out of all the things you could do to help someone with bedwetting, buying nighttime protection is the best step you can take. It beats waking the person up at 2:AM to use the bathroom, the wetness alarms, medications, etc....Protection is the best thing you can do for a bedwetter. I'm not saying that GoodNites offers the best protection, but for a young kid I guess it wouldn't be that bad of a solution.
