Men who bedwet

Don't tell anyone, I am embarrased. Sound familiar? Yep, but most men wet the bed at some time in their life, from a small child through to adolecense and into teens and adult hood. Stress is the biggest cause, especially when as teens you are facing exams. But sometimes this can continue into adult life. Many try to hide it but few succeed. It is not shamefull. It is a natural part of the body and mind. Some men sleep soundly especially after a few beers down the pub and do not wake up when nature takes its course. We can overcome this embarrasment, we just have to take responsibility of our shortcommings.

Diapers

As a bedwetter waking up in a wet bed can be overcome with as easy solution. Diapers. Yep, wear a diaper to bed and most of your problems will disappear. Ok, you are embarrased to wear diapers to bed, why? Unless you sleep with someone else, who is going to know? If you are partnered, then your partner already is aware of your problem so talk to him or her and explain you want to do something about it.

Wearing a diaper to bed is as simple as buying a pack, putting them on and sleeping soundly. So simple, but not really. You have to try different brands to find one that fits and works for you, absorbs the fluids and does not leak. But most diapers will leak. They are designed to absorb fluids and wick away the wetness, but the padding is in the central part of the diaper. Most men sleep on their sides, so when you flood, the liquid runs out of the side of the diaper, hence a wet bed again. There are ways to overcome this and that is to lay flat on your stomach or back. Easier said than done.

Ok, so you tried a diaper but still leaked and wet the bed. You can place a vinyl/plastic overpant over the diaper but again unless the overpant is secure around the leg and waiste bindings you can still leak. For myself I have found adult training pants to be the best solution. They have a vinyl outer cover and from 1 to 4 soft cloth layers inside, capable of soaking up any fluids that leak out and still keep the bed dry. Wearing a cloth diaper over the disposable diaper and a vinyl overpant will do the same thing. Men also get a stiff penis in the mornings and that can cause you to leak so when putting the diaper on, make sure the penis is tucked between your legs to aim the liquid into the centre of the diaper and also does not allow the penis to stiffen fully and keeps it centered.. The 2 solutions above will overcome most of those problems.

Having to wear a diaper was embarrassing at first but now I take it in my stride. Because I work as a driver, I am seldom able to use a toilet when I need to and a couple of accidents prompted me to wear 24/7 so I am protected while at work and also when sleeping. Now I am quite open to friends, workmates and family that I wear protection. Being honest means others seldom question you and usually accept it and you well. Sure they don't want it to happen to them but are very understanding to you if you are straight forward and don't try to hide your problem.

So, take the bull by the horns and do something about your problem. Don't be shy to asking your chemist or drug store for help in selecting a diaper to suit you. You can also order sample packs through the internet and try before you buy. Vinyl pants are plentiful on line, and even diapers can be bought on line and delivered in plain boxes discretely. You have no excuse to wet the bed. There are ways to sort this out and all it needs is you to realise you have a problem and do something about it. So don't just sit there, go searching.
