Cloth ones won't stop wet. They need to be backed with pvc. But even pvc will leak on the edge seam. The towelling material draws the wet to the join and then through the join on the matress. Same with pillow protectors. The protector draws the wet up, through the seam and onto a pillow. Use less if you don't wear a diaper and are too heavy wet for a pad. Or vice versa.Seabear said:Them cloth mattress protectors don’t work, I think there just to stop sweat. My nappy leaked and I thought oh it’s ok I’ve got a mattress protector but no, a big wet patch on mattress
The problem with plastic mattress protectors is that while there cheap and easy to find they dry out and become brittle and crack after a while. Ive gone through a lot of them over the years. Rubber sheets are much more practical and long lasting.vaslav said:
Those were the days right? I remember just having to deal with wet pjs and sheets in the morning. I didnt even know there were disposable products until I was in my 30s although I started to use cloth diapers for a while after moving out on my own. I was never denied access to a shower though. I remember a girl in school in maybe Grade 7 telling me I smelled like popcorn and another girl corrected her saying I smelled like I peed the bed because her older brother did it too and had the same smell. After that I was conscious to take a shower every day. I was later told that once males hit puberty they start having hormones that make their urine smell a lot stronger so its important to stay clean.Wetshisbed said:

If you don't wear a diaper bedwetting creates its challenges. When I was still bedwetting without a diaper in my teens I was generally wet from my knees up to the pillow in the morning. I believe my mother bought a waterproof pillow protector. If your wearing a diaper though you shouldn't get big leaks that cant be handled by a proper mattress protector or a rubber sheet. If you do get a lot of leakage on the bed your probably wearing the wrong kind of diaper.Wettiguy said:
I recall my fitted mattress cover at age 8; it bunched up each morning as it "came up from the top corner". I was very happy when my mom bought me a full cover, zippered vinyl mattress cover as it stayed on 100% of the time. At age 7 and hardly any accidents at night, it was an economic choice by my parents to not invest further in a better mattress protector that I liked, but at age 8 and slipping back into full nighttime bw challenge, thankfully my mother was understanding about my request to wear a full diaper and plastic underpants again (after an embarrassing sleepover at a friend's house where his mother helped me to wear protective undergarments). So a new full cover mattress cover was invested / bought for me also.DiaperedJeff said:
