To think drynites do not go up to age 15

[Nymeria01]

My son is 14 and still frequently wets the bed (is being seen by a clinic for this). To get an undisturbed nights sleep he slips on the drynites pj pants (age 8-15). However recently they have been useless. For the last 5 nights they have totally leaked leaving his bedding drenched. He is still small for his age, hasn't had a growth spurt or put on weight. We use to have leaks about once or twice a month before this but not more than that, and even then it was just a small leak. Its so irritating because they cost so much and their is no alternative pull ups for his age. AIBU to think that their is no way that these could work for a normal sized 15 year old?

Would probably need to be twice the size.
Sometimes you can get some disposables on NHS, it's worth asking.

surely there is something similar for adults though? excuse my ignorance but are you not able to get something like that on prescription for him? ( of course you may not be in UK)

if the problem is he is actually weeing more, then this could be a sign of illness so keep an eye on it

If they're no longer suitable for your DS, then you'll need to find a different overnight product.

The clinic treating your DS should be able to help you through the NHS bureaucracy or recommend brands if you have to purchase yourself.

Ask continence nurse to order samples for you to try of diff products eg tena etc . Or contact companies yourself tena libero etc

they leak on my 9 yo dsd and she is a skinny mini!

not sure if you could get them on the nhs but would adult incontinence pants be a better option? we use tena lady pads with dsd as she is down to just needing to catch the odd dribble when she gets distracted now

Agree with others re continence service ,I used to work in dementia care there are pull ups on the NHS to fit a small adult tena i think these may suit your son better?

My ds is in pull ups, and sometimes he leaks sometimes not. I think it's more todo with the position he sleeps in rather than the size. If he sleeps on his back or front it's fine, but in his side and the leak.

My son is 15, & has the Attends pull ups provided by the local NHS, in an extra small size, he's tube fed so has issues with bladder control at night.

Our local chemist supplies the Tena range too, I've used them before when we've run out of the Attends ones. The clinic you go to, should be able to put you in touch with the incontinence team who arrange delivery etc.

I am surprised at 14 he can get the drynites on at all. They must be very tight and uncomfortable. I used the largest size (8-15) on my 6yo!!!

Thanks everyone. I will ask the clinic about getting pull ups on prescription. I had asked my GP about getting them on the NHS and he said that it was not available for bedwetting.
In all honestly I don't really know about the adult incontinent pad market so thanks a lot for all the information.

How about washable incontinence pants? These say they can hold up to 500ml.

Larger boots stores stock thier own brand. The small size are not much bigger then drynights. Most brands seem to start at medium.

I'm not sure your information is going to help considering the OP posted 2 YEARS ago!

Most supermarkets and chemists sell adult pads and nappies, I buy them for my dd when she has heavy periods (she has SN's).
