While it is perfectly fine to use DryNites to help manage your daytime wetting it is important to understand that these will not help you to stop wetting. If you do choose to wear them I would recommend wearing loose fitting pants, to avoid any chance of discovery. You will also need to change them regularly to avoid leakage or odour. I would recommend speaking with a trusted teacher so that he or she can support you during this time. Try and make time to use the toilet regularly as this will reduce daytime accidents. Any type of daytime wetting at your age should be assessed by a GP, have a chat with your parents and have them make an appointment for you. You can use this opportunity to discuss ways to help you to stop. Regards, Dr Cathrine
