Drynites

[Guest]

I was in my local Morrison's supermarket this morning. I was buying some toothpaste which is at the other end of the nappy aisle. As I then made my way up the aisle there was a family which included a girl of about 10/11 along with, I assumed, mum and dad. As I approached, mum was in the process of loading a number of packs of Drynites (8-15yrs.) into the trolley. Of course they may have been for someone other than this girl but unlikely. The girl herself seemed a little slow and gave the impression of having minor learning difficulties. Despite this I failed to understand why they would risk humiliating her in this way on a busy Saturday morning when she could easily bump into one of her friends. Does anyone else buy Drynites/pullups in the presence of their children?

Both my son and daughter wet their beds when they were younger and wore Drynites. However I would never have contemplated buying them when they were with me. I think they would have died of embarrassment!

Whenever possible I buy Drynites when my daughter (11 now) isn't with me. However that isn't always possible but I have a plan which she is comfortable with . On these rare occasions I leave buying them until last. Then just beforehand I send her away to look at the magazines etc then I meet her after I have gone through the checkout when they are packed away safely out of sight.

On the odd occasion I had a trusted friend buy them for my daughter. Otherwise we try to buy ours on line and sent by post or courier... in a plain package.

Oh my

That is bad. That mother is being so inconsiderate to her daughter's feelings. She sounds like she needs me to come in to her house for a week, to sort out her parenting skills.

Her parents ought to be sensitive about this. I can only fear if she did bump into one of her classmates.

But I remember WORSE almost 10 years ago. Me and mum were out doing our Sat. shopping at Tescos. Can't remember why but I somehow cut through the nappy aisles to reach the checkout to find my mum. Towards the end I saw a woman (90 % sure its the mum)holding her daughters hand, she was about 8ish- my guess, wasn't that young but I couldn't tell. The woman grabbed 2 packets which were surely nappies in each hand but one seemed bigger and looked bloated with white towels which baffled me, no idea than. At the checkout they were right behind us as I looked. round the girl seemed to blush bight red especially that the nappies were ontop of their trolley loaded and showing. One was Pampers Junior and the other was Zorbit terries. My guess they werefor her eurensis bt maybe not ?

My 11 year old daughter wets the bed and uses terry nappies and plastic pants except when we go away to visit friends or on holiday when she uses dry nights. We just wait to buy them when we get to our destination,my daughter is present when they are bought - after all we are very unlikely to be seen by someone she knows such as a friend or class mates.
My daughter is not embarressed by her wetting and will actually pick up the packet of drynights or pullups herself and put them in the trolley and be present when they go through the checkout.

i have suffered from bedwetting all my life 43 years now and was in terry nappies and waterproof pants till i was approx 10 when i was for my own dignity taken out of nappies i think it great that there is a option for kids to wear a discreat form of protection like drynites but from my own experinces of disposible protection they tend to leak and is this why alison child uses terrys

you're lucky in the fact that she's ok about it and won't kick up a storm. I personally would be embarassed and try to hide it. Did you order terry nappies for teens _ or buy from a normal shop in the high st. ? I think its much worse putting a pack of terries at the checkout than disposables !

The terrys and plastic pants are bought on line. It is only the disposables that are used when away from home that are bought from a high street shop.

Nah back in those days I remeber Zorbit terry nappies sold in shops still. I Never knew how big they were but guess they can be a good fit for a child. Only thses few years have disposables replaced everything and terries are sold _.

I to have on older bedwetter and use terries and plastis pants at home and Drynites when we are away.
Also know 2 other mums who do the same. Not at all uncommon.

[bearbb]

Terries are being outed by disposables. Saying that there is demand today as many people prefer them and they are still made and sold in non baby to adult sizes in thicker terry. Bladder problems are not uncommon and can happen at any age nothing to be ashamed of. I guess in 1960s-70s they were sold for babies only ?
