What is bedwetting?

How Absorbent Underwear Can Help Your Bedwetting Child

Even if your child is dry during the day they can still regularly experience night-time wetting. In fact, many do as bedwetting is a common difficulty affecting children up until the age of 15. Children gradually grow out of it but for some it can take longer than for others:
- over 15% of five year olds will experience bedwetting,
- 5% of ten year olds
- 1-2% of 15 year olds*.
- up until the age of 13 it is seen more often in boys than in girls.

It can be distressing for the children concerned so parents play an important role in providing encouragement and support - to help manage the bedwetting and get through it together.
