Older Children,bed-wetting,and Self Diapering

In my readings on nocturnal enuresis I have come across the following situation and I decided to devote a whole article to this topic. I don’t know how prevalent it is but I felt it needed to be addressed. This issue concerns me and that is why I felt it needed to be covered in more depth. On some incontinence forums I have read about some parents and babysitters diapering older children with bed-wetting problems. Some of these children are 9 or older. As we all know bed-wetting can be very stressful and in my opinion this stress can be exacerbated by parents not letting their child put on their own protection. By no means am I a childcare expert but my intuition tells me that above the age of 3 or 4 a child should be taught how to put on their own diapers.

Years ago I had a friend who had to babysit a 6 year old. She was telling me that she had to diaper the child before he went to bed. Due to his age I assumed he was potty trained and that the reason he wore diapers was because of a bed-wetting problem. She told me that he went running through the house naked and screaming and refused to let her put the diapers on him,which I can’t say as I blame him.

I do believe that an older child,adolescent,or teenager should wear diapers to bed if all attempts to cure it have failed and if other garments such as pull-ups and “Goodnites” don’t offer adequate protection but I also feel that the youngster should be responsible for putting on their own protection unless they have some cognitive and/or physical disability that makes it either difficult for them to do so or prevents them from doing so. Diapering an older child has the potential to drastically effect a child’s psychological health for years to come.

There are certain tasks that can be accomplished by youngsters who aren’t cognitively or physically impaired including tying one’s shoes,putting on one’s clothes,etc. Diapering one’s self in my opinion would fit into this category also.

If the parents are concerned that the child might not fasten the diapers correctly thereby causing the diapers to leak the parents can show the child how to fasten the diapers correctly.One way of doing this is to lay the diaper on the bed,have the child sit in the diaper,and tell them how to fold and fasten the diapers properly. I would do this when the child is young because the older the child gets the more embarrassed the child will feel. This is a very sensitive area for children. Many bed-wetting children feel self-conscious and embarrassed about wearing diapers to bed(although as I have pointed out many times they shouldn’t be) and having their parents diapering them will make them feel even more self-conscious and embarrassed. Also bed-wetting makes many children feel helpless and by parents diapering the child it reinforces the feeling of helplessness. That is why children should be taught to be independent in this are as soon as possible.

As far as pin-on diapers are concerned some parents are afraid that the youngster might stick themselves with the pins. This is certainly a valid concern but if appropriate precautions are taken this shouldn’t be an issue. I was talking to someone in customer service for a company that sells pin-on cloth diapers and plastic pants for older children and adults with bed-wetting problems to get her take on the situation and she told me that at the age of 7 or below the parents might need to fasten the diapers,above the age of 7 it would depend on the child’s development. I believe the same steps taken with disposable diapers can also be taken with pin-on diapers. Again the parents should lay the diapers on the bed,have the child sit in them,and teach them the correct way to fasten the diapers. I can’t emphasize this enough-children need to be taught at a young age how to be independent in this area.

Another idea I have as far as teaching youngster how to be self-sufficient in this area is the following. I don’t know how feasible this idea is and I admit it’s somewhat unusual but like the saying goes in many situations it’s good to think outside the box. In many community colleges they use dummies to demonstrate certain medical techniques to nursing students. The parents could talk to the head of the nursing department at their local community college and see if they could borrow a dummy and then use the dummy to teach the child the correct way of fastening the diapers. If the head of the nursing department asks you why you want to borrow the dummy you can explain that you have a child who wears diapers for a bed-wetting problem and you want to use the dummy to teach them how to correctly fasten the diapers. If you are not able to borrow the dummy you can ask them if they have any suggestions about what to do in this situation. I suspect that purchasing something like this from a medical supply store would be expensive so the nurse at the community college might have ideas about alternative approaches to the situation. In addition you might want to call your local medical/hospital supply store and see if they have any ideas. about how to deal with this matter. As I mentioned earlier this is a very delicate situation that has the potential to do irreparable psychological harm to a child.

I wonder if some parents do this because on some level they might miss the closeness of the parent/infant relationship and this is a way to recreate this. Some parents either consciously or sub consciously want to keep their child at a certain level of development because the parents don’t want to let go emotionally. It must be stressed that this is just speculation,and I’m not saying this is necessarily the case with all parents who put on their older child’s diapers but the fact that this could be a factor with some people should be considered and if this the case it should be addressed with a mental health professional in order to prevent causing emotional harm to the child.

Unfortunately another reason some parents might diaper their older child that wets the bed is to humiliate them. Many parents try shaming their kids into stopping bed-wetting and this is one tactic that parents might use. I’ve read about one case where the parents diapered their child in front of the whole family in an attempt to get him to stop wetting the bed. There are many other things I’ve heard parents do to try to shame their children into stopping bed-wetting but out of sensitivity to my readers I won’t mention them. Suffice it to say these practices are despicable and a form of child abuse. In terms of diapering older children that wet the bed it seems that the situations described above are atypical but even though this is the case,both my friend’s experience and the situations I’ve read about on various incontinence forums concerned me and prompted me to write this article.

I hope people realize that this article is not meant as a criticism of anyone’s parenting skills. It’s meant to help people realize that children are very sensitive regarding these sorts of issues. Children need their privacy and independence in these areas and by not respecting this it makes them feel undignified. I hope this helps people look at this issue in a new light. As always I feel dialogue on these matters is very important and I welcome any constructive thoughts on this matter..

Nurture or create a healthy relationship by having an annual “state of the union” meeting

We all know that a healthy relationship needs communication. That’s not too hard when it’s just the two of you, but with kids, it gets more challenging. Once babies come onto the scene, there are diapers and sleep deprivation. The housework explodes exponentially and there’s barely time to brush your hair. Time together becomes an opportunity to briefly exchange only the bare essentials of the household. How can you make time together when there isn’t any?

Single Parenting and ‘The Myth’

In searching for some information on the challenges to parents raising children today, in particular single parents with teenagers, the many articles I read were quite maddening actually. When reading them, one could imagine them being written by someone who is not a single-parent and probably not even a parent, but the articles being written through researching from ‘books’ and ‘government statistics’ material, all of which were probably written/put together by someone who isn’t even a parent!

Can a bedtime routine anchor the entire day?

Yes! If your evenings are chaotic and disorganized, you and your kids need a bedtime routine. Think about it: even from birth, we parents are a little obsessive about sleep, aren’t we? I dislike the word “schedule,” but I do believe that kids benefit from consistency and having a predictable routine for their entire day.

The Grown-Up Family

Your children always remain your children, no matter how old they are, but the relationships between the different generations inevitably change over the years. The balance of responsibilities and tasks, degree of dependence, and lever of care shift, as for example, adolescents become increasingly self-reliant and the elderly need more practical help. There will be many exits and entrances to the family as the children grow up.

» Prevail Adult Underwear, “sleep Overs” For -Best Info

Potty Training Videos — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 00:17:46 +0000

Potty training videos was doing all the work. This isn’t abnormal. This is quite fashion conscious. Look at the way some of the big companies do that. This seems obvious but this is actually serious. You can use this article as a reference. That was a close knit organization. That is the way to outsmart your competition. Nikky training pants is a hot product right now. I do know how critical timing is for baby training pants. I don’t sense I’ve mentioned a single point concerning potty training underwear yet. That is not as rosy as this might first appear. I’ll pretty this up for you: potty training help was good while it lasted. I’m living proof of that. I’m sorry, but that blog is sort of messy looking. You’re about to uncover some great how to potty train your child secrets. It was really a media frenzy. I hope this helps to make plain what I’m trying to detail.

Potty training potties would be stupid if that is true or not. That may be redundant, but I thought I’d mention it to give you a frame of reference. I wish I could do a better job explaining how good bed wetting underwear is. There is more to it than just pullups training pants and it will have a positive impact. It’s just that lately it has been taken to new levels. This essay will justify what potty training tips for girls really is and you should always be potty training videos-ing. We don’t want that to boil over. The techniques you have used for infant potty training can still be applied to potty training boys. This is just the nature of potty training 3 days.

That’s actually the best of both worlds and I wager some might gather that relevant to potty training a 3 year old. I’m trying to work both ends against the middle. At the very least I should try to keep away from that immediately. This might be a high risk strategy. I feel comfortable with that legally and ethically. You know, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” What do you coaches think? 5t training pants should be praised. It is a picnic folks. The ability to do this is underrated. The hypothesis soon spread to small towns. Potty training boot camp was designed to sell. I criticize everything when it is on par with diaper doubler disposable.

Wicked! I want a deluxe training pants for toddlers. This is my philosophy on kooshies training pants.

Compadres that buy these cheap imitations don’t realize this until it’s too late. I am trying to teach my kids in the matter of potty training your toddler. This is something that subordinates know. If I know anything of my countrymen, they like pull up training pants and you need to understand potty training travel in order to see that. I am sure that we have found that scads of experts are a very afraid of potty training techniques because I will be more than happy to assist you with your needs.

Potty Training Videos — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 13:03:35 +0000

Why don’t you begin by digesting these high brow comments relating to potty training videos that are an useless augmentation of the arena of ideas . This is the time to turn over a new leaf. It is a great opportunity for training pants for potty training resellers. I bought it during an introductory period. This is the moment for us to sit up and take action as this was nonrenewable. This was an enormous help as long as you might find that you like that technique and it may become your favorite. If you’re tempted to skip out that, read more. What’s next? No Tooth Fairy? I can’t say for certain if it will make a huge difference but goodnites training pants certainly can’t hurt. Excellent! However, most late arrivals aren’t willing to pay for child potty training.

I really appreciate this level of achievement. This quote encourages me, “Old habits die hard.” In fact, I’ll bet there is by this time a cloth potty training pants out there that will even go to the bathroom for us.

I found an attractive deal on potty training potties. This keeps me going, “Fear is stronger than love.”

This certainly takes into account a problem many novices have with potty training products. You just want to know what your skills are. I have that nagging feeling that I only partially discard that wonderful scheme. I had registered with them before but nothing came out of it.

Potty training ideas baffles me sometimes. This would be going against the tide.

Well, as they say, “Dead men tell no tales.” Take them for what they are worth. We’ll address your 4t training pants concerns. It left an unforgettable impression. I will teach you how to use potty training 3 days. Of course, that can be done. To the best of my knowledge, this is the case. Here’s something to yell about. There is, however, a happy medium between kids training pants and best toddler potty. Collectively, the poll data suggest this respecting Europeans and the worth of once upon a potty dvd. It blog offers access to a wealth of baby training pants info. It is easy to say something that details potty training at night so well. I’ll be brief. It is fabulous how virtuosos can fully detail an entangled area of interest like this. I’m going to blow the lid off of the refusal to potty train scams out there. You need a potty training techniques. Finding the right reusable training pants to use is probably one of the easiest things to do. It is how to tap into the power of potty training methods. As you sow, so shall you reap.Bah! Now that’s related to potty training your toddler on this level. I’ve been keeping a high profile.

I’ve had fabulous success. I suspect toilet training tips brochures can help but one shouldn’t rely on them too much. Hey, it does not appear to be the predominant item with reference to potty training help.

Brands of Plastic Pants for Older Bedwetters

This article is an overview of some popular brands of plastic pants for older bedwetters. A large number of people are impressed with these brands and find them particularly effective for heavy incontinence such as bed-wetting. With that in mind keep in mind that there is a certain degree of subjectivity in this area. One of the points I’ve stressed in my previous articles is that people have different preferences as far as what type of protection to use to manage their bed-wetting. Some people prefer reusable garments for various reasons whereas others prefer disposables. In addition some people use both styles of garments. There are many different factors that come into play when choosing incontinence products which I thought I would reiterate-the type and level of incontinence,whether or not it’s convenient to wash reusable garments,etc. Some people prefer pin-on diapers covered with plastic pants,some prefer pull-on cloth garments(which are sometimes referred to as diaper pants,pull-on briefs,or or pull-on diapers),some prefer disposable pull-ups,whereas others prefer tape-on disposable diapers(known as disposable briefs) As I’ve also mentioned it’s good to be open to experimenting with different types and brands of garments in order to determine what works best for you. With many people, finding the most suitable type and brand of garment to manage their bed-wetting is a matter of trial and error. In some cases people use more than one brand and style of diapers and plastic pants.

This brings me to the current topic-plastic pants for bed-wetting. There are a wide variety of brands of plastic pants out there to manage bed-wetting. This article discusses some of the more popular ones. These brands have a good reputation with many people in the incontinence community. Plastic pants , also known as vinyl pants(vinyl is a type of plastic),are used as a waterproof cover to put over reusable garments for infants and incontinent individuals such as cloth training pants, reusable pull on briefs(known as pull on diapers and bedwetter pants/overnight briefs), and pin-on cloth diapers Before the development of plastic pants(which I believe was in the 1950’s) parents used rubber pants. After rubber pants were phased out,the term rubber pants and plastic pants were used interchangeably. The term rubber pants is still used today by some people, but most people when they use the term rubber pants, actually mean plastic pants. As far as I know there are no companies that make rubber pants for infants and there are only a couple of companies that make rubber pants for adults. From what I understand rubber pants fell out of favor in the late 50’s and early 60’s. Perhaps they weren’t as comfortable or as long lasting as plastic pants.

When purchasing plastic pants(and incontinence supplies in general) it’s a good idea to talk to the customer support people at the company about your specific needs and ask questions about various products. When evaluating incontinence products some of the things you should be considering are the following: Does your incontinence occur during the day,night,or both? Do you suffer from heavy incontinence such as bed-wetting? Is discretion an issue? Do you mind washing diapers and plastic pants or do you prefer the convenience of disposables? How do various items effect the skin? Is the product comfortable to wear? Regarding plastic pants it’s essential to get a good fit over the diapers in order to prevent leaks. The important thing is to have pants that cover the diapers completely. You don’t want to leave any portion of the diapers exposed otherwise the sheets will get wet. You should look on the websites of the various companies and familiarize yourself with what types of measurements they require in order to get the best fit. For example some companies require both waist and hip size. If this is the case ask them what the relationship between each is in terms of getting the most secure and comfortable fit. In addition,some brands of plastic pants have a wider crotch than others. Pants with a wider crotch are particularly well suited to manage overnight incontinence problems such as bed-wetting especially since most people wear bulky diapers for overnight use.

If you are buying plastic pants specifically for bed-wetting and the company has several different models ask them what the most effective model is for nighttime use. One of the key things to inquire about before purchasing the pants is the following: how the pants are cut(how wide the crotch is,do they have enough depth to accommodate thicker diapers for night use,etc.). It’s good to tell them as much information as possible so you can avoid buying pants that are uncomfortable and don’t provide effective protection. Plastic pants are available in two styles-pull on and snap on. Most people use pull on plastic pants. I’ve heard that snap on pants are used primarily for people who are non-ambulatory because they presumably are easier to put on and take off.

The first brand I’d like to talk about is Comco. Right of the bat, I’d like to mention that there are two different companies called Comco. Both of them sell and manufacture plastic pants,waterproof sheets,diapers,and other incontinence supplies. I’m bringing this up because I wanted to clear up any confusion people might have when purchasing products from these places. Both companies are based in Minnesota. The original Comco located in North Saint Paul and is run by a guy named Burch Gusterson. They’re known as Comco Incorporated. They’ve been in business for close to 40 years and have been making incontinence garments for 30 years. They have a pull-on plastic pant called the style 230. The price for one is .60 and the price for a pack of three is .85 These pants are highly regarded by many people with incontinence,particularly those with bed-wetting problems. Their web address is www.comcoincmn.com. Their email address is comco@mindspring.com Their phone numbers are (800)328-9658 and (651)779-7313 and their fax number is (651)779-0871 These pants are noted for their thickness and durability. Since the pants are going to be washed repeatedly it’s good that they can handle multiple washings. Some plastic pants wear out sooner than others after repeated washings. I recall some time ago a gentleman talking about Comco pants on an incontinence forum and he mentioned that he was real impressed by these pants. He said that he had pairs from Comco that have lasted for years. The author of the Diaper Primer has this to say regarding the Comco plastic pants: “Comco makes a distinctive heavy semi transparent vinyl that seems heavy but is not uncomfortable and will soften with body heat to become very comfortable” and “The heavier vinyl stands up longer to wear and wash cycles than do the lighter vinyls found in most vinyl pants.” The nylon on both the waist and leg elastic is supposed to prevent wicking which I talk about further below in the section on the Gary Leakmaster Deluxe pants.

The owner was telling me that the vinyl formulation they use in their plastic pants is different from the one used in the plastic pants manufactured by Comco Manufacturing. Whether or not this means anything in terms of the quality of the pants(such as how durable they are) I can’t say. Both pants could be equally well made,the only difference being they’re both made of different types of vinyl. According to Burch the vinyl pants made by Comco Manufacturing are nothing like the ones made by Comco, Inc. If your budget permits you might want to try a pair from both companies and judge for yourself.

The second Comco is called Comco Manufacturing,LLC Apparently a group of people from the original Comco split off and formed their own company called Comco Manufacturing(personally I think they should change their name so as to avoid confusion) Comco Manufacturing is based out of Hinckley Minnesota. Their web address is www.comcomfg.com.Their email address is comcomanufacturing@q.com and their toll free number is (888)250-8577. Their pull-on vinyl pant is known as the style 100 pant. The price for one pant is .50 and the price for a three pack is .50. These pants have wide elastic on both the waist and leg areas which should make these pants extra effective at preventing leaks.

Another brand of plastic pants that has a good reputation is the Leakmaster Deluxe pant made by Gary and sold by Adultclothdiaper.com(also known as All Togehter Enterprises) This pant is made from 7 mil thick vinyl and has vinyl enclosed elastic around the waist and legs. This feature is supposed to be very effective for preventing leaks,especially at night. The price for one pant is .95 and the price for three or more is .95 each. Their toll free number is (877)215-9004 and their fax number is (801)566-7717 Their web address is www.adultclothdiaper.com. Angel Fluff Diaper Company also sells the Gary plastic pant just mentioned but they sell it under the name Ultimate Whisper Thick Pant. The price for one is .95. If you buy 4 or more the price is .99 each. They also have a deal where you can buy this pant for .99 each(see website for details) In addition to weekday hours of 8-6,they also have Saturday hours from 8-6(central time). Their phone numbers are (800)996-2644 and (931)359-9604 and their fax number is (931)359-9604. Their web address is www.angelfluff.com.

A fourth brand of plastic pants that’s highly regarded is the Suprima brand. These pants are made in Germany and are sold by a Canadian company called B4NS. There are several different models listed on the website. I spoke to the owner and he told me that the best model to use for bed-wetting would be the model 1232. This model has a higher back to accommodate thicker diapers,wide crotch,wide waistband,and has fully wrapped elastic just like the Leakmaster Deluxe pants previously mentioned. The Suprima plastic pants are kind of expensive but from what I understand they’re worth it. The phone number for B4NS is (514)812-4917,the fax number is (450)433-5711,and their email address is info@b4ns.com Their web address is www.b4ns.com.

The last brand of plastic pants I’d like to talk about is manufactured and sold by a company called Babykins also known as KINS(which stands for Kinder Incontinent Supplies) They sell a medium weight pant. The model of this pant is 20300V and is slightly less thick than the Comco,Suprima,and Gary Leakmaster Deluxe pants.(The 20300 pant, which is the thickest model they offer, is 6 mils thick) I’m not sure how this pant compares to the other pants just mentioned. Many people prefer thicker plastic pants due to the fact that generally they’re more durable. The price of the 20300V pant is .00. Some individuals like the KINS products so it might be worth looking into. The toll free number for Babykins is (800)665-2229. They also have a phone/fax number-(604)275-2255. Their web address is www.babykins.com.

As mentioned some people discover that there is a certain amount of trial and error involved in choosing a satisfactory product to manage their incontinence. This doesn’t happen with everybody but you shouldn’t feel disappointed if it does take some time to find a product that best meets your needs.. There are some people who might prefer the thicker plastic pants for various reasons and think they’re the best choice, whereas others might prefer the thinner plastic pants. It was pointed out on one website that there are individuals who find the thinner plastic pants more comfortable to wear. On the other hand there are people who find the thicker plastic pants to be just as comfortable

As discussed before,the drawback of the thinner plastic pants is that in general they’re not as durable as thicker plastic pants and therefore they don’t last as long. Here’s a quote from the Diaper Primer regarding this: “ Thinner plastic pants,generally perceived as softer and more comfortable as starters age more rapidly than heavier-gauge(thicker) plastics.” Because they’re thicker than the Kins plastic pants and they seem to be highly rated by many people,my inclination would be to purchase the Comco,the Leakmaster Deluxe pants,or the Suprima pants. In this case it might be advisable paying a little extra for plastic pants that are more durable as opposed to buying several pairs of pants that are less expensive but will wear out quicker.

Given the fact that each of the brands mentioned in this article have worthwhile features it might be prudent to purchase a pair from each one in order to figure out what works best for you. Granted this might be kind of expensive but it’s probably the best way to determine what pant feels most comfortable,which brand fits you the best, and which one holds up the longest.

In terms of comfort the elastic on the pants can play a part in how comfortable a particular brand of plastic pants are. This is another point brought up in the Diaper Primer. Some people might feel that the elastic on certain brands of plastic pants is too tight for them. I would talk to the customer service department of whatever company or companies(if you’re planning on trying more than one brand of plastic pants) you’re planning on buying from and ask them if it would be a good idea to buy pants in a larger size in order to have a looser fit thereby minimizing the discomfort caused by tight fitting elastic.

Another thing to keep in mind is this. I’ve heard of people buying multiple pairs of plastic pants in order to rotate the pants in the laundry cycle so they can cut down the wear on one pant. In fact I’ve heard that in general it’s a good idea to purchase several pairs of plastic pants. Given this fact and since there might be more than one brand that suits your purposes, it might be worth spending the extra money to have a good supply of plastic pants. Also there are people who have more than one favorite brand of plastic pants. For example I read about individuals who use both the Comco and Suprima brand of plastic pants There are some people who are only satisfied with one brand or type of incontinence product whereas others find that their needs can be met by more than one as pointed out in the beginning of this article-there’s no law that says you just have to stick to one brand or type of incontinence product. In fact this situation might not be that uncommon.

As discussed earlier in this article plastic pants are worn over pin-on cloth diapers. I talk about several different brands of pin-on diapers in my article “Additional Information Regarding Pin-On Diapers for Older Bedwetters.” This is a good article for you to read if you’re considering using these types of diapers for your older bed-wetter. These types of diapers have a good reputation for bed-wetting and this article talks about both the different brands available as well as a source that discusses a special technique to fold and pin the diapers for maximum absorbency and protection. By purchasing one or more brands of the plastic pants mentioned in this article, as well as experimenting with pin on diapers,you should be able to make your child or teenager feel more comfortable and secure at night.

I hope this list is helpful to parents who might be having difficulty deciding on what type of plastic pants to purchase for their older child,adolescent,or teenager that wets the bed. Keep in mind that the brands mentioned are just some of the ones available. The ones mentioned in this article are ones that are well thought of by many people. There is one thing to remember when purchasing incontinence supplies however,and that’s this-purchasing incontinence supplies is a highly personal thing and while it’s good to get other peoples input keep in mind that what other people say are opinions. It’s good to explore as many options as possible in order to choose a product that offers good protection,is well made( if you decide to wear reusables),and that has a good price. Whatever you do don’t get discouraged if it takes you a while to find an appropriate product.
