I’m not who you were specifically asking, but my boys use Goodnites on occasion and I will say they are very thin and discreet when dry. But when wet, just like any other diaper, they swell when wet, it’s how they work. So on mornings when they are wet unless wearing baggy shorts it is very noticeable especially over tight thin pjs.

Call the pediatrician and ask for a referral to urology (or just go straight there if you don't need a referral).

When he has an accident is it very noticeable? Can you tell if the pull-ups are wet immediately?

What is his attitude towards still needing the Goodnites? Open and not bothered or shameful and keeps them covered/hidden as much as possible?

What is your families overall attitude towards bedwetting?

He's not bothered at all. He's proud when he's dry. We don't make a big deal out of it at all.

I’m worried. Mine (girl) turns 13 in June, and it still happens weekly.

Mine is turning 11 this week so I’m hoping this will be the year. He’s very sneaky about changing his clothes and sheets so sometimes I think the problem has gone away and it actually hasn’t. The pediatrician isn’t worried.

How long has it been going on? Do you have pull-ups available for him?

I thought the problem was over when he was 7 but it’s been sporadic since then. There is absolutely no way he would wear those, he is adamant that it won’t happen again but it always does.

If it’s a very rare occurrence that’s understandable but if he has accidents multiple times a week I would consider pull-ups.

I would agree too unless he agrees to do the laundry. Then I would be fine with it especially at his age. Fortunately my kids are a little younger and not bothered by them.

It has nothing to do with laundry. The room is going to smell like stale urine. Just get the pull-ups.

Probably at least 1/10 kids will wet the bed. More common for boys but not uncommon for girls. Most outgrow it naturally without any intervention.

Its so much more common than people think. If it wasn't so stigmatized and people talked about it more openly like any other issue kids wouldn't feel bad about it, and parents could lean on friends more.

Doing a search on the forum will answer 90% of these bedwetting posts they are ALL "is my kid too old for this?".
