[QUOTE="slsh, post: 52558, member: 8"] If he's had a thorough medical exam (and at 16, I'd be more than tempted to take a trip to a urologist as well), then I'd let it go. Get the plastic mattress protector (they zip up). If it is strictly a matter of restricting fluid intake/going to the bathroom before bedtime... not much you can do, realistically. Doesn't sound like *he* thinks it's a problem, so let him deal with- the sheets and laundry. A thought though, in terms of easy clean up. You know those chux pads they use in hospitals? We got reusable versions of those for Boo (incontinence and lousy adult diapers, as well as the occasional leaking feeding tube, are major issues around here). It's quilted on top, waterproof on the bottom, maybe 3 feet wide so it just covers the at-risk areas, and has extra long sides so they can be tucked under the mattress. Trust me - saves immensely on wear and tear on sheets and your washer/dryer. We got 2 of them about 4 years ago and they're still going strong. [/QUOTE]
