This might be nothing but my 11 year old daughter does not wipe properly after using the toilet just I've noticed on 2 occasions there I've noticed her pyjama bottoms smelt of urine etc a lil wet nothing major I know she doesn't go to bathroom as soon as she gets up in the morning first time I've noticed it and have told her she needs to make sure she's clean down there and everywhere for that matter any tips on making sure it sinks in??
Don't want her walking about smelling she's good at making sure she uses deodorant and washes just seems to be toilet related

I think you just need to keep reminding her.

I also suggest a book called The Care and Keeping of You which my pre-teen girls loved.

Are you sure the problem is that she isn't wiping, could it also be that she is leaking urine for some reason?
