Lyn I am not a proponent to useing nappies on children only and I mean Only as a last resort ie when you have gone to your gp, you have tried waking you have tried ddvap and nothing else works then and only then would i consider putting him in a nappy but that would have to be my sons decition as he is 14 Not a child of 3 or 4 he is capable of makeing certain decitions of course with Mums and hopefully Dads support and guidance! if you do decide to go down the nappies route research it first look at forinstance the opening pages the pro's and cons yes it does save on washing clothes and sheets but what happened to the washing machine!perseverance is the key! others will tell you put him in a nappy and forget about it (Job Done ) well its not as simple as that!children at your sons age are at an impressionable age! and can get accustomed to nappies and then it becomes a life long habit because he likes the feeling!Fetishism in young adults is growing ! please read up on this before you decide its you and your sons choice ! you as the parent is to be the guide !.best wishes Tom.Uk
