We're off on a family holiday abroad for a week tomorrow, flying out first thing (early hours). DS who is 12 still struggles with bedwetting, but is in denial about it and understandably very embarrassed. With it being a night flight, he will almost certainly sleep, and this means there'a a very high likelihood of him having an accident. It's also almost impossible that he will go all week whilst we are away without wetting at least a couple of times.

I've bought him some "Drynites" and asked him to wear one for the flight (even changing into and out of it on the plane or just before we get on and just after we get off if he wants), as well as whilst he's sleeping in the hotel bed, but he steadfastly refuses. At home dealing with changing sheets isn't such a problem, and of course his mattress is protected. But on a flight and in a hotel, surely some protection is better than wet pants/bed?

I don't want him to be any more embarrassed, and can understand that being nearly a teenager and wearing what is is essence a nappy is not going to be a great experience, but I don't want him to have an accident and have people see as that would be far more embarrassing for him I'm sure.

AIBU to think that he is BU and should just wear the bloody things?!

Oh no! That’s typical isn’t it! Poorly boy and poor you, one of you take the boys out, other one strips bed and calls reception to let them know and find out what to do. Don’t make a big deal and I’m sure there will be some laughing about it later Flowers

Hotel staff are absolute angels, all cleaned up without any fuss and some spare sheets hwve been left for us "just in case".

Youngest is mortified as it's years since he had an accident, but aside from a bitnof friendly banter between him and his brother we've moved on with our day. I think his older brother is all to aware that it could so easily have been him.

Good tip given to the lovely young girl who came to sort everything out, and fizzy drinks will be stopping much earlier this evening! Here's to a wee free rest of the week!

Oh I really feel for you deedee. DS's nappy leaked one night on holiday. Also from drinking too many fizzy drinks.

Fizzy drinks are a definite no no if you take desmopressin (under the enuresis clinic) and DS now 16 still doesn't really drink them.

Get some bed mats , they are disposable and will soak up the good majority of it . Plus the boys won't need to wear a pull up.
