Bed wetting pjs

DS 8 still wetting the bed. He is under the care of the incontinence team so following all advice there. Didnt bother him until recently as sleepover invites have started.
looking for advice for pj shorts that look like shorts/pjs that work like pull ups. Does such a thing exist? Found one from Denmark which was pricy but would pay what I could to give him the confidence. Looking for tried and tested suggestions please

Swimming nappies don’t soak up wee, so absolutely not a swimming nappy!

Pull ups with pjs over the top is my only recommendation. And tell the mum so that she can help and/or keep an ear out for teasing and put a stop to it.

My 8 year old has issues with bed wetting due to chronic kidney disease. We’ve tried the adult Tena ladies pants for when she’s had sleep overs as they look a bit more like ‘real’ knickers. Is the maybe a male equivalent, that looks more like boxers or pants? We got her the XS small size and it worked quite well.

This might be an idea. Thanks. He is just so self conscious and just wants to blend in.

I completely get it, it’s horrible when they just want to be like all their friends. From a few of the sleepovers she’s gone to, it turned out she wasn’t the only child with bed wetting issues, and whilst hers is linked to her kidney disease, there were quite a few of her friends who also weren’t dry at night for other, various reasons. So some of his friends may be in the same position, don’t be worried or embarrassed to speak to the other child’s mum. You’ll probably find it’s a lot more common (though not spoken about) than you realise x
