Three bedwetting ads!

I posted one of these StayDry ads some time ago; here are more! I always feel bad for the models, those boys who have to look overjoyed while wearing "panties" that tie up in bows on the side.

gee, I wonder if any of those kids in the pictures got made fun of at school after the ads ran ...

"My son was wetting his bed, and he was extremely embarrassed and ashamed of it. Our family doctor referred him to a psychologist. Imagine, it worked!"

"So he has stopped bed-wetting?"

"No he hasn't, but now he is proud of it!"

Since that appears to be a little boy in the first two adds did they have to call them panties? Poor thing. Already a bed-wetter, now his mom's gonna make him wear leak-proof panties. :/

Yeah, they should have just called them underpants instead.

Worst. Christmas present. Ever!

"Don't feel bad about your bed wetting, son. Here, have some panties!"

No, the worst Christmas present was the "Wee-Alert," apparently a Sears product, and now called the "Wet-Stop 3." (http://wetstop.com/index.php)

This is an alarm system where the kid lies on a perforated aluminum sheet (with a bedsheet on top of it) that has two wires clipped to it with alligator clips, leading to an electric box. When the child falls into too deep a sleep and starts to dribble, the alarm screams out and the freaked-out kid runs into his parents' room, begging them to turn it off.

Yikes! A gift for the entire family!

Fortunately, my kids never had major bedwetting issues; just a few accidents here and there. If they had, Ithink I would just use the Good Nights instead. I place a high value on a good night's sleep!

A member of my family had the original (I think) Wet-Stop. Velcro alarm-holders were sewn to the shoulders of his pajamas, and a pocket on the front of his underwear. The sensor and alarm were attached via a wire. You put the alarm in the holder and the sensor in the undies pocket, and when the kid wet, the alarm screamed into his ear...

and woke the whole damn house.

And then everyone needed therapy!

the worst thing is that research has now found that over half the chronic bedwetting cases are actually chronic *constipation* issues. the body just cannot tell the difference between full bladder and full colon, so the child cannot wake up and realize they have to go.

pretty damn sad, if you ask me.
