If you wet the bed at night as a kid, at what age did you stop? Did it turn off abruptly or was it a slow process? How did you and your parents handle it? (Plastic sheets, Goodnites, etc. Do you think bedwetting contributed to your DL tendencies?

I first stopped at age 13-14. Then started again in my twenties. It was handled with plastic sheets at first. Then goodnites then youth diapers. I can say with near absolute certainty that it contributed to my ABDL side.

I can't really add any personal experience to this as aside from a very small number of accidents mostly when ill the only times I wet the bed was fully on purpose and that mostly stopped once I was able to consistently buy nappies whenever I wanted them as it was easier to clean up and hide the evidence.

I was however, actually doing a little bit of research and reading on this personally just this morning, so here is what I found.

From various studies conducted by different medical bodies (like the UK's NHS) it seems that children who are able to be completely dry without any issues are generally potty trained and dry at night by around age 4-5. Studies have shown that around 21% of 4 and a half year olds wet the bed less than twice a week and only 8% wet more than that, meaning 29% still wet the bed and 71% are dry at night by 4 and a half.

Some may take a little longer to be completely free of night wetting but the majority are mostly dry at night by about 4 and a half having maybe 2-4 accidents a month until around 5 years.
It is recommended by most bodies that if a child is still having 1 or 2 wet nights a week after the age of 5 to have them see a doctor in case of medical causes.

For those who do have a little more of a problem gaining control it is estimated (going from medical records) that around 15% of all children between the age of 5 and 10 will experience some degree of bedwetting. This number tends to vary by country for example in the USA the estimate is 15% in the UK it is 8-10%, by the age of 15 the estimates of children still wetting the bed regularly (even just once or twice a week) drops down to about 2-3%.

Various environmental, social and economic factors seem to impact this figure and the actual percentage may be higher as some families may not report it to their doctor so it never reaches their records.

To put that into perspective the UK has, at the last record update, around 10 million children in the school system (up to 16 years) 5.5 million of which are in primary school (ages 4-10). Using those percentages would mean in the UK alone possibly as many as 550,000 children between 5 and 10 still wet the bed regularly and 200,000 are still wetting the bed by age 15.

Studies also show that bed wetting tends to affect slightly more boys than it does girls with around 65% of records being for boys.

Studies also seem to show that children who are still wetting the bed more frequently than two or three times a week by the age of 8 are more likely to still have a problem by the age of 15 and onwards. While children who are able to get almost completely dry nights before that may or may not experience a relapse later on in their childhood especially in their early teens as hormones and other physiological changes happen. They are also more likely to be able to keep that dryness and control into adulthood.

Given that estimates are 1-2% of adults still experience nocturnal enuresis and between 5-20% of adults, depending on location, suffer from UIC it seems quite likely that most of the children who have not been able to stay dry at night by the age of 15 are likely to remain as bed wetters well into adulthood, joined by others who develop IC past their childhood.

I was unable to find any studies correlating UIC and nocturnal enuresis in adults to childhood bed wetting, but I also wasn't looking too deeply, I am sure studies like this have been carried out but they are buried deeper than a couple hours of poking around will produce.

This is some really good stuff. Honestly.

I wet regularly till I was 15 years old. It slowly stopped. I still had a few accidents every year. I was reasonably dry by the time I was 18.

I was 8 nearly 9 when I stopped bedwetting. Not at once, but slowly. After had some nighttime accidents way in my 20’s when I had stress. My DL feelings were definitely caused by my nighttime diapers as a kid

 

[WetDL22]

I stopped at 15. Can’t remember if it was sudden or tapered off. I definitely think it has something to do with me wearing diapers now.

I started wetting the bed when I was about 9 and this lasted until about 13. After the first few nights (actually I have absolutely no idea how long it was), my parents got me diapers and I used them until I stopped wetting the bed. They were snap-on plastic pants with a small cloth liner. I have seen these advertised in the Sears catalogs many years ago. These diapers were totally ineffective as the bed and my PJs were always wet in the morning.

My parents were matter of fact. That is there was no yelling or punishment. My bedwetting was simply a medical condition to be dealt with.

It tapered off over a long period for me. I don't think I had a dry night in my life until maybe age 9. Then I wet more often than not through 10, half and half at 11, occasionally at 12 and 13, rarely at 14, and very rarely at 15 and 16. I believe my last wet night to date was age 16.5 roughly.

 

[BunnyPrincess]

I wet the bed almost every night until about 10 I think, then it began tapering off a bit before I stopped at 11. Never wore Goodnites and only had a plastic protector on my mattress, although at around age 6 or 7 my mom bought a box of Goodnites and tried to talk me into wearing them but I was too embarrassed. Now I wish I did, not just for the actual usefulness of not soaking my bed every night but also I know I would've loved them like I do today and would've gotten to experience the feeling of waking up in a squishy, wet pullup like a little baby.

I do wonder sometimes if it will ever start back up later on as I have heard of several such cases, but we will see I suppose!

I’ve been a bedwetter my whole life. There have been times were it’s not as frequent (I may go a few days or a week without wetting), but it’s never really gone away. I definitely think it has played a role in me being ABDL.

I was a regular bedwetter until I was 8 and wore DryNites to manage it (I was in nappies until 6). I still had a plastic mattress protector up to 10 years of age to catch the occasional accident. Until I was 10 my babysitter (aunt) insisted that I wear nappies if I was sleeping over at her place.

 

[SparkyDog]

Ill report back once it stops. Any day now I am sure.

I do think it led to some DL tendencies. Though my DL is more about security & comfort.

I was about 17 when it stopped , it was sort of a slow process when it gradually stopped and i had to wear diapers just in case for about a year after it stopped. My mom got me tape on diapers and i went though a lot of different diapers growing up , from baby diapers like pampers and going on to bigger baby diapers and youth diapers and eventually adult diapers.I even had to wear diapers when traveling , i would say yes my diaper wearing did contribute to my DL tendencies.

Regular bedwetting stopped for me at 13 but after that I had a few accidents and a few on purpose accidents so I could keep the rubber sheet on my bed. Decades ago when I was a young lad "products" werent available (as far as I know) and my father refused to allow me and my brother to wear diapers after 10 yrs old. So it was just a mattress protector, an absorbing pad and wet sheets and pjs. That was my life back then. By my early teens I had to do my own laundry though.

 

[KechoDrips]

Bedwetting apparently stopped for me around 4 but started up at 33, will let you know if that changes!

I wet my bed until I was 17. I wet heavily every night until I was 12-13, then my wettings became less frequent though they still remained pretty heavy, and I wet around 2-3 nights per week until I was 17. Once I hit 16, it really tapered off though I still wore a diaper every night. I don’t know it this is too much information, but I noticed I wet more regularly and heavily a few days before my period and while I was on it.
My parents always supported me, though, I know they were tired of it. I had plastic sheets on my bed, and normally wore Goodnites until my teens when they couldn’t hold up anymore so I began to wear cloth diapers. I’m still a sucker for cloth diapers and have about 10 in my collection!

I was a chronic nightly bedwetter growing up and honestly don't remember being dry at night before my teens. I continued wetting throughout my teens and in to my early 20s. From being about 20 it gradually got less and I was finally dry at night just before my 22nd birthday.
I have had episodes of bedwetting throughout my adult life. Sometimes an odd night and others lasting a week or more. Then I had a long dry spell from my late 30s until my late 40s when all of a sudden I started wetting the bed again. By 50 I was a nightly wetter and in nappies 24/7 as my daytime control was rapidly disappearing. 10 years on and I wet the bed every night and have very little day time control.

Without a doubt my bedwetting contributed to my DL tendencies.

Once a bed wetter always a bed wetter. It will start again>
