Rubber rustles, plastic crinkles. I have always loved my rustling hospital type rubber sheet on my mattress.Out of curiosity, do rubber sheets make crinkle noises? If they do that would totally bother me...
Mine stayed on my bed until I left home in my early 20s. I was a bedwetter well into my teens and it just seemed sensible for those just in case moments. I have one on my bed now, but have never been able to find one of the same quality as the one from my youth.When you out grew your bedwetting to the point that you were no longer wearing diapers to bed, how much longer did your rubber sheet remain on your bed "just in case"?
I stopped wearing diapers to bed, well before I should have. So I had more than the occasional "accident" where my mattress was saved by the rubber sheet. I still remember that faint smile on my mother's face when at age 16 I suggested I didn't need the rubber sheet anymore. She just looked at me with an incredulous look-"just in case". 15 years later that rubber sheet remains on my bed at my parent's house.Mine stayed on my bed until I left home in my early 20s.

The rubber is not as noisy as plastic and I love the rustleing sound as you shake it out to put on the bed. Wearing rubber pants, even under shorts, is not very noisy compared to plastic when you are out and about in public.Out of curiosity, do rubber sheets make crinkle noises?

And how often after you finished with the DryNites, did that white plastic sheet get used for its intended purpose?I stopped having to wear DryNites at about 8 years of age, but the white plastic sheet stayed on until I finished primary school (I would have been 11) - my parents made a big deal about me starting high school without needing my plastic sheet.
It got a workout every 1-2 months for a few years, but then only once in the last year that I had to have it on my bed. Then I got a new mattress!! Despite the plastic sheet's best efforts, my first mattress had been punished; it had dark yellow stains too numerous to count. My dad used to say the springs were rusty from being wet all the time.And how often after you finished with the DryNites, did that white plastic sheet get used for its intended purpose?
