As a child I hated wetting my bed. I wanted to stay dry more than anything, but I couldn't. My mom and I tried limiting my drinks, waking me up during the night and even praying. Nothing worked. If GoodNites® Underpants had been available when I was young, they would have saved me from years of stress.

I remember lying in bed each night and desperately telling myself not to wet the bed, but every morning I woke up soaked and ashamed. Many nights I stayed awake much too late because I was afraid to go to sleep. I knew the bed would be wet in the morning – and it always was. The next night my worries would start over again. I felt helpless.

Slumber parties and sleepovers were awful for me. I remember staying up all night several times because I didn't want my friends to see my wet sleeping bag. Sometimes I'd fall asleep despite my best efforts, and in the morning I'd lie there frozen, trying to figure out how to hide my wet sleeping bag and pajamas before my friends discovered my problem.

The older I got the more embarrassed I felt about bedwetting. Why couldn't I make myself stop? And what if my friends found out I wet the bed? I worried they'd think I was disgusting and lazy.

My parents were upset that I kept wetting the bed, but like me, they didn't know what to do about it. My stressful nights continued until my mom heard about a new bedwetting alarm when I was in junior high. I wanted to try the alarm, and she bought it for me.

I wore the alarm on my wrist, and long wires connected to my underwear. When the wires got wet, they made a connection and triggered the alarm. I was mortified to still be wetting the bed as a young teen, and I was very motivated to jump up and go to the bathroom every time my alarm went off. The alarm was very loud and woke me from even the deepest sleep.

After a week or two of using the alarm, my body learned to wake before the alarm was needed. I would use the bathroom after waking, go back to sleep, and in the mornings my sheets were dry for the first time in my life. What a relief.

Bedwetting is often hereditary, but when my husband and I decided to have children I wasn't worried about my kids struggling with bedwetting. I knew they could use GoodNites® Underpants.

My 6-year-old son was daytime potty-trained at age 2, but he has never been dry at night. His pediatrician assures me that he will stay dry at night when his bladder matures and advises against prescription bedwetting medication since bedwetting recurs when the medication is discontinued. I agree with her since I don't want my children on medication indefinitely.

I tell my son that when his bladder matures he will stay dry, and until then, he can use GoodNites® Underpants and there is no shame involved. Because of GoodNites® Underpants my son isn't aware of the turmoil and smelly mess involved with wetting the bed. He would like to be dry, like many of his friends, but it's not a major issue.

My male twins, 3, aren't dry at night either. My "big boys" have been daytime potty-trained for several months, and they were happy to leave diapers behind and graduate to GoodNites® Underpants for sleeping.

My boys all know they will wear GoodNites® Underpants until they are consistently dry sometime in the future. This is fine with them and fine with me. I am thrilled my boys don't have to face the years of stress, shame and fear from bedwetting that I did. GoodNites® Underpants truly bring my family good nights.
