hi amy, I am a 14 yr old bedwetter and pants wetter. i think that it is good that you are putting protection on ur child. I have recently been on a 11 hr. flight and i wore protection. yes, i was excited to get there but i did sleep for about half the flight, if not more. i wear goodnights. if the stewardess or steward asks anything about their protection just say she is menstrating. it works! when i sleep over at friends, or when i was on my flight, even if people see it in the aday i jsut say that i have a heavy period and this is the only thing that works. i hope you have a great flight adn a safe trip.... amanda
