Let’s hear from the kids! 👧👦

We’ve loved reading your comments and posts and think you’re doing a fabulous job of breaking the taboo around bedwetting. Now, it’s time to switch the focus a little. Research revealed that two-thirds of parents reported that their child felt upset (61%) and embarrassed or ashamed (60%) about their bedwetting. Championing your child is the number one function of Ninjamas Pyjama Pants and we want to ensure that they’re getting the support they need.

How can I support and empower my child on their bedwetting journey? 🤔

While bedwetting can feel like a taboo subject with other parents, it’s important to create a safe and open environment at home. Don’t be afraid to speak openly with your child about it, find out how they feel and let them know that you’re on their side.
Children develop at different rates and need your support through it all. Reassure them that you’re a team and that you’re working on it together. And remember: no one is at fault

Simple lifestyle switches to try with your child 👍

There are a number of simple adjustments you can make to your child’s routine to ease the likelihood of bedwetting. If you haven’t already, try out the following tips (and be sure that the environment is safe and supportive for your child).

📖 Keep a journal of your child’s toilet habits in the evening and overnight. You may notice a pattern that you can replicate or avoid.
🥛 If possible, and if your child has drunk well throughout the day, consider limiting the amount of liquid your child consumes in the hour or two before bed.
🧻 Get into the habit of ensuring your little one uses the loo 20 minutes before and then immediately before they go to bed.
🏆 Offer rewards. Reward your child for drinking well and staying hydrated throughout the day and if their bedding is wet overnight, reward them for helping you to make up the bed. Remember: bedwetting is beyond your child’s conscious control so avoid offering rewards for keeping dry overnight.

Supporting other parents’ children 💕

If you’ve found Ninjamas Pyjama Pants to be an invaluable tool on your night-time bedwetting journey then share out your leaflets and coupon links with other parents to help them support their own children.

If you’re concerned about your child’s bedwetting or bedwetting has started suddenly after 6 months or more of dry nights then consider visiting your health practitioner.

We always make sure my son goes for a wee before bed and this help him feel empowered as he's then less likely to need one during the night. Often he does still, but it's a small thing he can do to feel like he's on the right track.

As part of our bedtime routine we make sure he goes for a wee just before bed, I feel this definitely does help. He knows that if he does wet in the night that it is ok. He used to take a drink to bed with him but he no longer does this as I found he was just drinking it for the sake of it then wetting more

I try to encourage my son to drink more at school to be more hydrated. As he often comes home with a fairly full bottle. Then drinks all evening so this doesn't help with what happens over night.

My son was potty trained by the time he was 2 and was dry through the day and night. Then one day when he was around 7-8, he wet the bed. Accidents happen so we thought maybe it was a one off. But he did it every night suddenly.We thought perhaps he had a urine infection, so we took him to the doctors. It was whilst getting the sample, we noticed he had an issue and his ‘bits’ were blowing up like a balloon and not emptying properly and causing irritation. He was die for an operation, but then lockdown happened and backlogs. He wet the bed most nights, and he felt embarrassed wearing pull-ups, especially as his younger sister and brother didn’t. He had the operation, he was so pleased that it would fix everything. Sadly it didn’t, we got told it can take time to work, so we waited, and waited. Then got told when he is 12, they will look into it more. In the mean time, he gets so embarrassed. He has been in residential trips and almost didn’t go because of how embarrassed he felt, in case his friends saw the pull-ups. These Ninjamas could t have come at a better time. He has a residential for 3 nights in a few weeks.. he trialled them out the past week and he felt so much better. They are thinner at the back, so they don’t look padded like pull-ups do. The colour is dark and blends in like underpants if he was to bend over. They also don’t rustle like pull-ups when he is walking. He said they feel like underpants on and he actually was smiling so much that he was able to take these with him. He wees quite a lot at bedtime, despite going to the toilet just before he goes to asleep(around 10pm) The absorbency is really good and they aren’t as tight as pull-ups when they are filled. These are super and I will buy them when they are available. He has since found out another friend who is on the residential has the same problem, so I am going to pass a coupon to his mum! Thanks for letting my son trial these. You have made his life much easier and I would recommend these for anyone in a similar situation with older children

Thank you

I was set on waking my daughter up every few hours, I tried this for a few days and as you can imagine it was exhausting and it didn't work! I've tried to help her by not making a fuss... but now she doesn't worry about being nearly 8 and still being wet at night.. she only drinks water, but suffers with sudden erges in the day, I just try and help her to feel confident in herself but it's not helping her get dry free...

My 8 year old says he feels more grown up. He was using pull ups but he says the design on the Ninjamas feels more grown up, thanks for letting us trial them. We do go to the
