[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just realized that this post was in 2018 but was bumped recently.

I thought I would chime in anyways.  My son recently turned 8 and still wets the bed.  He is tall and very slim and just hit 45 lbs.  With him weighing less than the majority of other kids, I dont see how diapers can fit an 8 year old even as small as he is.[/quote]

There are size 7 readily available for kids over 40lbs and they have enough elasticity that a slim 8 year old can still fit them[/quote]

Are you referring to a regular diaper and not a pull up?  His 3 yo cousin still wears diapers so I dont know if he would be keen on wearing actual diapers again.[/quote]

He might question it at first but it is much better than waking up cold and wet. It is only for night so he shouldn’t be bothered much what it looks like. Remind him that it is only for just in case.[/quote]

I have brought it up to him and he is against it.  He spends a lot of time at their house with his cousin and wouldnt want him to find out.  Yes it would be nice to not have to wash all the time but on the other hand, I dont want to force him either.  Its been years since hes worn one.

He needs a new mattress and he really shouldnt be sleeping on is current one (its his 3rd one).  Its pretty much shot even with those mattress covers on it.  Plus I cant really afford another one at the moment.  I wish they made ones that you can just wipe off thats already protected.[/quote]
