I'm sure OP would appreciate knowing the contributing issue so she can rule that out, too.

Buy where it's cheapest. Are you concerned that you are going to run into Clarissa, the most popular mom in the school, and she's going to gossip that your little Emily still wears GoodNites to bed? Grow up, lady.

The condition is called Vesicoureteral reflux. It’s usually detected during prenatal exams, but we only found out after dd had very high blood pressure at one of her physicals. The reflux had caused kidney damage which affects her blood pressure. Without other symptoms, such as frequent fevers or high blood pressure, this isn’t something doctors would normally test for.

Your tween might not like having to go with you to the diaper aisle and then walk around the store with their night underwear. Even if nobody they know is there they might be self conscious.

No advice on what you ask.

Have you tried stopping liquids a couple of hours before bed and making sure to get the bulk of hydration before 5/6pm?

What about urinating immediately before bed? Sometimes they feel like going after they’ve gotten all cozy, and don’t get up. Maybe reinforcing that it’s necessary to get up at that moment.

Ummm....any parent that is posting here asking about that has tried all these tactics.

And yes, a waterproof sheet under the regular sheet is a good idea.

Yes, Pull ups are for training so they don't hold a lot, and its only for kids up to 50lbs. Even if your DC is skinny they won't a lot so they will leaked. Goondnites are meant for night time so they hold a lot. ( its mostly a money grab)

We’ve used Pampers overnights before and they’ve never leaked. Goodnites are still just another kind of diaper.

Make certain kid isn’t getting complacent knowing they are wearing one and deciding that they don’t need to get up right away.

They do swell up significantly when wet.

Morning shower.

Check out Tony and Ava reusable incontinence underwear. They sell some sizes/styles on Amazon. This was a life saver for us for overnight school trips and sleepovers. The underwear looks just like regular underwear (maybe a little bulkier, but NOT like a diaper). I would just send my DS's pajamas and a pair of these in a gallon sized ziplock (which is a trick lots of people use for keeping outfits together in summer camp trunks, I learned), and then when he changed in the morning he would stick the underwear back in the ziplock, seal it, and throw it in his backpack. Honestly, OP, if I could somehow connect with you I would be happy to send you the (multiple) pairs that I bought for my son. I was so concerned he would never outgrow his nighttime wetting, but our wonderful ped ruled out all physicall issues and encouraged us to be patient. Sure enough, right before he turned 11, my son magically was dry at night. It's hormone related and I believe there's no way to speed it up. It will happen though. Good luck!
