Urgent Help Needed With Sleepover!

I have a 13 year old daughter who's been bedwetting for the last year. She wear nappies at night as she can't wake up and the GP has prescribed us them until the referral goes through. Anyway, she's been invited to a sleepover and really wants to go but her nappies aren't subtle for sitting around in and she struggles to put them on herself, let alone getting rid of them. Any advice? Sleepover tomorrow!

Tena pants? I've never seen them IRL but would they be a bit more discreet?

What about disposable incontinence sheets she can put on the bed and throw in the morning and some tena pads or pants . Some look like normal undies so smallest size might be ok. Boots etc stock that sort of thing. Reserve on line if not in stock and click and collect tomorrow.

Really feel for her; as if being 13 is not hard enough already :-(
Does she wake herself up once she's started weeing, or is she completely oblivious until the morning?
Would maternity pads or even a Tena Lady be adequate? I think the latter do "pull ons" (from the supermarket) which might not be as absorbent as her usual prescribed ones, but might be enough for one night.
If might be easier to take a sleeping bag; no risk of wetting the host's bedding.
As for disposal, just put a carrier bag into her wash bag and she could bring the soiled items home to deal with - and no one need know.

Buy 2 pairs of PJs the same pattern so if she needs to change she can with nobody noticing

Tena pants could work esp if she has started periods she could say they are really heavy atm

Could you ring her (with phone on vibrate in her PJ pocket or inside sleeve, so close to her skin) in the night to wake her up to go to bathroom

Are you friends with the mum?

How long have they been friends?

Would your DD be ok with you talking to her or does she want it kept quiet?

Thanks Smile

Get dark bottoms (navy or black or dark purple)

As above but send her with her own sleeping bag so if she wets she can Bing it in a bag and friends won't notice.
