Do you have tips for hosting sleepovers?
My tip is to let the children take turns in the bathroom to change/wash-up. This way if they have GOODNITES® Underpants to put on, no one else knows. My daughter enjoys sleepovers and no one knows she is wearing it. I also put a plastic bag in with her PJs so she can throw it out in the morning.

My daughter's first sleepover party that we hosted at our house was a success. Before this party she had slept over at her friends' houses about three or four times without any incident. I remember the first sleepover invitation. She was 6 years old and a nervous wreck because this was at her best friend's home. It just so happened that the Friday before the party I happened upon the GOODNITES® GoodMorning Club™ Web site. Needless to say I was thrilled that I had found a solution to help ease her anxiety. I immediately called my husband at home, explained to him what I found and sent him directly out to purchase a package.
My daughter was a little apprehensive about having to wear what she considered a "pull-up" to bed. I explained to her what the item really was and that it helped her to stay dry overnight. Well, Friday night we tried one for the first time and low and behold, Saturday morning her bed was dry! She was thrilled. Now the concern for her and myself was how would we get her to use these at the sleepover without anyone noticing that she was wearing them. I suggested that she wear her panties on top of the garment. Also, she needed to change in the bathroom alone so no one would question what she was doing. And to dispose of the garment in the morning I sent along a plastic bag in her overnight backpack. She changed the garment first thing in the morning, put her underwear back on and no one was the wiser. We're still using GOODNITES® Underpants two years later. It's been a blessing in tackling this situation. It's been a comfort for me, my husband and especially my daughter to know that no matter where we go she will wake up in a dry bed.

Be open about it. Tell the boys that it is OK to wear GOODNITES® Underpants under their boxers. I always say that my two boys, Mark and Dave, have nighttime accidents and wear GOODNITES® Underpants to play it safe. I always put extra GOODNITES® Underpants out for the other boy or boys to use. In most cases, the guests wear GOODNITES® Underpants under their boxers too.

My son wears a pair of boxer shorts over his GOODNITES® Underpants and baggy pajamas. It looks like he's just wearing underwear.

My daughter is now 12 years old and still wears GOODNITES® Underpants. She is very open with it to most of her friends and does not feel badly about having a bedwetting problem. I myself was a bedwetter and back then did not have things such as GOODNITES® Underpants. She knows one day she will wake up in the morning and be amazed she is dry and will have outgrown the bedwetting problem, but until then it does not bother her at all.
When she sleeps over at somebody's house we always pack a plastic bag to put it in the next morning. She carries the GOODNITES® Underpants and plastic bag in a small carry case where she also has her other bathroom items. This way nobody knows.
