Did anyone shamelessly wear their night time protection in front of their siblings growing up?
I wet the bed until I was 14 and wore Goodnites from 9 until it ended. At the end of my Bedwetting I covered up at night and in the morning before I took them off but I distinctly remember until I was 12 not wearing anything to cover my Goodnites and not caring about it. Even in the morning when I would be wet I would wear them around the house a little while in the morning (especially on the weekends) before taking them off. Sometimes my siblings would even tease me a little bit and say things like, “Hey your diaper is really wet this morning” or “Mommy he peed his diaper.” But it never bothered me in the slightest.
I was a bedwetter every night until 9 or so after which it tapered off stopping for good around 13. My sister was also a bedwetter until I was 8 or 9. I never hid my pullups from her, but I was never really the type to parade them either. My sister was way more bothered by bedwetting than I was, so when she wore pullups she would go out of her way to make it really discrete, whereas I would just grab a diaper out of the bag, wear pants over it, and chuck it in the diaper pail in the morning.
I’m not going to lie it wasent shameless but my cousin did once pull my pants down while I was wearing my pull-up in the morning because I bedweeted and she would let me have my pants and she teased me My pull up was soaked and you could tell it was really embarrassing
I don’t know I just wasn’t very embarrassed about it around my family because everyone knew. I was much more discreet around friends and at sleepovers but around family I never covered them, even in the morning when I was wet (which was most mornings).
Makes sense. I was less the type to wear only underwear (or pullups) in general.
Your post did remind me of one thing. Once when I was 10 my mom volunteered to watch this kid overnight because his parents were working or something. I saw some pullups in his bag, proceded not to say anything, and diligently performed a full scale coverup of my own diapers. So basically this kid and I both smuggled a diaper to put on, kept it fully covered all night, and sneaked it off in the morning because I didn’t want to say anything. Kind of the opposite of the fantasy stories people post on here lol.
Oh I understand the other side of it also, don’t get me wrong. I just thought, personally, “well it’s my family so there’s no point in hiding it around them, I live with them everyday.” Haha. Around friends I was way more cautious. I never paraded them around my friends, ever. One friend found out and at first it made me very nervous but he didn’t mind and said his little brother had the same issue so he understood my situation and knew I didn’t have control over it. However, that’s not a common reaction to some people finding out about an issue like that, a lot of kids can be mean, even your friends about things like that. My siblings and family hardly teased me about it either, just on certain occasions when I was really wet or if they were just feeling in a playful mood, they knew I wasn’t sensitive so they joked from time to time
At age 4 I had to start wearing plastic underpants over my training underwear. My clothes were typically 100% hand-me downs from my older brother so for me I always thought these protective undergarments were his and now they are mine to wear. In the summer I usually only had on a tee-shirt and then laid in front of the TV in my protection right before bedtime. It was usually with the rest of the family in the room and I think it was too make sure I had my plastic underpants on correctly (no training underwear sticking out).
I think he had a plastic mattress cover on his bed until maybe age 7, so when I was 8 and still had one on my bed I began to think I had gone past his age of bw. Still, wearing protection and my mom telling me my vinyl mattress cover had to stay on past age 10 or 11 was slightly embarrassing my brother neve made fun of me and I got used to being around any of them in training underwear and pps at night and in the morning when I came down to eat breakfast.
Yeah. Sound similar to me. Like I said around family I never had any shame about it. After 12, I started to really cover up and be more discreet but I remember one time when I was 11, almost 12, I was wearing my ATV Goodnites in the morning, very wet, and just walking around downstairs in just a shirt and the Goodnites. I still remember that clearly to this day.
I have one memory that I didn’t share. This was the only time I wasn’t discreet among immediate family. One time I was babysitting my little cousin when I was 13, of course I was still Bedwetting at this point. My cousin was 4.5 and was potty trained during the day but still had some night time accidents. I was wetting nearly every night and he wet about 3-4 nights a week. I don’t know why but I remember that even though I was 13, I didn’t feel embarrassed and didn’t even both covering up that night. It was real hot, (I live in Florida) and I just wore my Goodnites and a shirt after I changed for bed at about 8:30. I just remember my cousin was real surprised I was wearing a pull-up at my age and he felt better about himself. He still wore the regular Huggies Pull-ups as his wettings weren’t extremely heavy. My bedwetting at that point was honestly quite a bit more severe than his. I also remember that morning when I woke up I was soaked, more than usual and my cousin was dry. I remember distinctly coming downstairs and asked him if he was wet or dry and he proudly said dry, see my stars didn’t disappear. He then looked at my pull-up which was obviously wet and giggled and said, your pull-up is really wet! I blushed slightly and said yeah I slept really well haha. That was the only time I didn’t cover in front of immediate family.
I was so humiliated when I’d ”had an accident” as a kid. Some of my worst emotional memories are of those helpless moments of having wet my bed or (a little younger) my pants and knowing everyone was about to find out. We didn’t wear protection in my house. (Mid 1960s to early 70s.) When you didn’t wake up to go the bathroom, or get there in time, everyone knew.
So I actually love the image of myself as a little boy, in my wet overnight diapers, being accepted or even gently teased and talked about but basically free to run around that way without shame, even though everyone knew I wet my bed.
Aw, thanks. I don’t know why it seemed so awful to me. It’s such a small normal thing for little kids to do. No one was actively humiliating me (except sometimes my younger sister who took great smug glee on mornings it was me instead of her). I was mostly doing it to myself. I must’ve been taught to feel way too much embarrassment in potty training or something…
i never wore pants to bed growing up in i was diapered 24/7 so my siblings always saw me diapered, often i would also play and do stuff pantless or even clad in nothing but my diaper
I only wet at night but there were many times I would only wear a shirt and my night diaper or even just my diaper and play around before bed and in the morning before I changed
Being I never really stopped bed wetting until I was 13, and wore pampers cruisers until I was 9, up until I was about 7 or 8, it was normal for me to walk around in just a t shirt and diaper unless people were over. Sisters knew I didn’t outgrow it and I was just always a kid that preferred less clothing. I got switched to the bulky youth diapers when I was 9 and then really tried to hide them but that was almost no use, it was obvious I was diapered
I was never discreet, if you didn’t like me because of my diapers. Then you weren’t really my friend, in the 90s and even til this day. My friends still offer to change me and I never say no. I remember growing up in the 90s and my mother’s rule of me sitting a car seat until I out grew it. Which was hard, when I was the smallest kid at 4ft 5in. Try sitting in a car seat next to your friends at the age of 10yrs old. But like I said before, I have a lot of super cool friends that just treated like their little brother.
My brothers didn’t care at all, but when one of their friends thought it was a good idea to make fun of me because I was in diapers it wasn’t good at all. I have 3 older brothers, then it’s me & my Twin and 2 little brothers 7 boys.
IWhen I was 11 we had some friends who were girls stay over at our house and I put on my goodnte after my shower and put on a pair of shorts, I walked in to the living room and my mom asked me in front of everyone if I had one on and then lifted my shirt and pinched my crotch. One time we was staying at their house and was playing video games and I started to pee my pullups and everyone heard it and their mom asked if I had just peed myself and told one of the girls to go get a diaper that was for their stepbrother who had cp. She then told me to lay down and then changed me in front of everyone. Another time we went to my grandparent’s house for Christmas and my grandma asked my mom if I needed the pee pads I usually slept on when we went over there and my mom told her in front of all my cousins that I was wearing diapers and made me show her that I had one on, it was a green depends diaper with tapes that everyone could hear the plastic.
