Beth, your post caught my attention, as I have been having the same sort of problems with my 16 year old son. He did not become dry at night until he was 9. At the age of 14, shortly after my husband died, his bed-wetting started up again (which I put down to the trauma of losing his father). Initially it was only about once a week, but after a month or two he was wetting every night. I took him to the doctor’s, but no medical cause was found, so I suggested to him that he could do with some form of protection until it stopped again. At first he protested, but eventually saw the sense in it, so I got him some youth size disposable nappies. He didn’t like these at all, as they caused rashes and leaked. He asked if he could try terry nappies (which he had worn in bed until he was 9), as they had never caused rashes and hardly ever leaked. After a bit of searching I found a supplier (here in England), which sells youth and adult size terry nappies and plastic pants, so I got some for him. At first he was very embarrassed about me seeing him in a nappy, so he pinned it on just before getting into bed. However, recently he has started to have an early bath, so that he can watch his favourite TV shows uninterrupted from 8pm until he goes to bed at about 11pm. Instead of wearing a bathrobe after his bath, he insists on putting on his usual nightwear of long loose-fitting T-shirt, terry nappy and plastic pants. He doesn’t seem to mind these days if I see him in a nappy. The other day however, I became suspicious about his motives, when he was sitting watching TV with his knees bent double and his bare feet on the seat of the armchair so that part of his nappy was clearly visible, and I couldn’t help noticing that it was already wet. When I challenged him about it, he got annoyed and said that he didn’t see the point of having to take his nappy off to go to the toilet and then have to pin it back on again, as he was going to be wetting it sooner or later anyway. I told him that he could change into his nappy just before gong to bed in future, but he refuses to do so. I am now worried that he may be developing a fetish.
