Some people call pull-ups diapers. But I know some do use regular diapers. They are both basically the same thing, just one has tabs and the other doesn’t, diapers are cheaper and hold more. Obviously not right for some people but others it looks like it works fine. If it’s been the routine and the kids don’t mind I see no problem with diapers. Also it seems that pull-ups leak a lot for some kids.

Your not alone. 6 and 9 year old boys here who both wake up with full diapers just about every morning.

I don't consider it a problem. Both of my sisters were still wetting well past this age.


How often does she wet the bed? Its pretty much every night here. There is no way I could change sheets in the middle of the night and then again in the morning so thats why we put him in a diaper at night. Not to mention that my almost 7 year old sons mattress already had to be replaced and the current one isnt far from being replaced. Mattresses are not cheap.


She will wet it every night if we don't take her to pee at 11:00pm. We have a pad on her bed just in case we forget( we hardly forget because we are tired of washing sheets/ airing room). And one of my siblings did same. The other wet the bed less frequently.



How long ago did she stop wearing a diaper to bed. I personally prefer a diaper over a wet bed in the morning. It makes it less stressful in the morning for the both of us.


She stopped wearing a diaper about 6 months ago. I agree with you but she convinced DH that she shouldn't wear one. So I told him that it's okay as long as I don't have to deal with the consequences.


Every once in a while when DH is not available, I have to deal with it, and it's very stressful.


Did she agree to help with the laundry or anything if she didnt want to wear one anymore? Is she bothered at all that she still wets the bed now that she isnt wearing a diaper? Is she uncomfortable at all waking up in a wet bed?



She is just uncomfortable with diapers/pull ups because it makes her feel like a baby.

She would wake up and change her clothes and sheets when she realizes that the bed is wet (we have a bed pad so sometimes no sheet needs to be changed). Sometimes, she changes it in the middle of the night.

She would help with laundry if DH asked( she currently folds all her laundry on the weekends), but asking her to help is more work than him doing it on his own on a weekday morning. So he has never asked her to. We usually do a great job of waking her at 11:00pm to pee so laundry is no longer often needed. But if I were primarily responsible for the laundry during the week if she wets the bed, she would still be in diapers. DH is empathic to a fault. He felt really bad when she said the diapers made her feel like a baby. I did not. Lol

I am not worried about her bed wetting at 7( other than the stress of weekday morning laundy if we fail to wake her at 11:00 pm - again it rarely happens now) I had 2 sisters who wet the bed well past this age. Neither of them were bothered until about 9-10 years old. Even then, i cannot say thst it negatively impacted their lives or health either then or now. They are now healthy, reasonable and successful women in their late 30s and early 40s.



Does she have any older siblings? My younger son felt this way when he was 6 so his older brother who was 8 at the time volunteered to wear one for a night to show him that they weren't just for babies and it was enough to change his mind.


Wow that is a GREAT older brother!!! Not the OP here but the one with the almost 7 year old son. Did he actually wear one for the night? I am assuming it was a pull up due to him being 8. No siblings here, 1 is enough for me haha.

he did.

I can understand that kids their age think diapers are for babies. They are right but, they are also for anyone who needs them. Younger and older people. It hasnt gotten to the point here I have to "make" my son wear a diaper as he will wear one to bed and just not want to. If it were to get to a point where he refused, I would just simply tell him sorry, he needs to until he has consistent and multiple dry nights in a row. He knows he only has to wear one at night as well. Me personally, its not worth all the stress and extra laundry in the morning to allow him not to wear one. We do on occasion try without one for a night or 2 just to experiment like every other month but he never has any dry nights in a row. Are you able to offer her an incentive for wearing one?

I can totally relate to the stress level! I don't let him know though. I know it's not his fault and I deal with it minimal stress on the both of us. He would rather not wear a diaper but he hates waking up soaking wet worse. Was she OK with wearing a diaper up until 6 months ago? I would simply tell her that it would be the best for everyone if she wore one to bed.

Chances are it’s anxiety. Child probably doesn’t even how he/she is anxious because that’s their normal

At least that was the case with me. My mom also encased my mattress (meaning top, sides and bottom) in a plastic mattress pad.
