Let’s start the bedwetting conversation
Bedwetting is surprisingly common among older children but parents are often afraid to talk about it due to a fear of judgement. Research has shown that almost half of all parents with children from 5 to 7 years old who wet the bed at night, feel helpless.
We think this needs to change, especially with Christmas on the horizon!
Thanks for the snaps Squaddies Natsai1, jzjen and Plonka 🤗
With overnight stays to visit family, late nights and disruption to the usual routines, Christmas is a time where bedwetting can become more of a concern than usual for parents and children.
Our starter kits are on their way and in the meantime, let’s begin a discussion around the experience of bedwetting because of bedwetting. Remember, this is a safe space and we’re here to support and encourage one another. If you’ve found anything that works for you and your child, share your tips and info in the comment section to see if the same thing could help other parents this festive season and beyond.
Why does bedwetting occur? 🤔
Bedwetting can be a challenging for children and parents alike and the reasons behind it are likely to vary from child to child. One thing that always remains the same though is that bedwetting is no one’s fault
There are many reasons for bedwetting, from a child’s bladder capacity to hold wee produced overnight, to psychological triggers like stress or a major life event. There are a few potential underlying health matters that can lead your little one to wet the bed, e.g. constipation1.
How to manage bedwetting
There are several solutions that exist to help you to manage bedwetting and make you and your child more confident. Consider trying some of these practical tips:
- Get to know your child’s toilet habits – you may spot a pattern.
- Make sure your child gets plenty of liquid during the day and if possible consider limiting large amounts of fluids before bed.
- Remind your child to use the toilet 20 minutes before bed and again just before they lie down for sleep.
- Constipation can be an underlying cause of bedwetting1, so ensure your child eats plenty of fibre as well as fresh fruit and vegetables.
- Be supportive: Reassure your child and help them on the path to working through it. Don’t punish or blame them for bedwetting, try to stay positive and encouraging.
How to ensure your little one sleeps easy 💤
If your little one feels embarrassed about bedwetting, then Ninjamas Bedwetting Pyjama Pants may be just the thing to ease anxiety and ensure your child wakes feeling confident and well rested. Ninjamas keep skin (and bedding) dry and comfortable all night long. What’s more, the choice of cool designs and the Quietcloth material mean they don’t look, feel or sound like nappies. So, your kid can feel confident wearing them even when they stay away from home overnight .
Let your friends try Ninjamas too! 🐱👤
Get chatting to friends about bedwetting and if they’re interested in the topic share your product leaflets with them. Let them know it contains a £2 off coupon and a code so they can request another £2 off coupon Ninjamas Bedwetting Pyjama Pants or simply share the link to your socials.

Whilst trying to get my 6 year old off pull ups at night everyone kept asking if she was still wearing them, saying to limit fluids, toilet trips etc and we had tried all of the above. Unfortunately with no luck, I now lety daughter drink her water at night, she uses the toilet 3 times before going to sleep but is just such a deep sleeper that doesn't wake to use the toilet. Hopefully the ninjama pants will remove the embarrassment and feeling that she is in a nappy and give her a little more confidence until she is ready to go without 😊

The package has arrived my daughter no longer have night leaks it dont soak her and it does keep her awake throughout the night im so glad to have tried these definitely buying more

My son is 6 years old but he's a bigger built boy who fits better in 8-12 ninjamas he finds them so comfortable and gives him room to move around in them especially at night as he moves around alot and they are very impressive with how much wee they can hold and also if he soils in his sleep it contains it well. 10/10 for being comfortable and with his sensory issues due to autism he does not mind wearing them at all they feel just as comfortable as wearing pants just with the added protection of wet or soiled accidents.

My package arrived! My boy is already intrigued by the colourful design. My son is non verbal so communicating is some times an issue as he is unable to say when he needs the toilet. His self control works really well during the day and he goes when he needs but night time is a little more difficult as he usually sleeps all the way through and is mostly wet by the morning.

Pack is due to arrive tomorrow!
6 year old has chronic constipation so bed wetting is a big issue for us!
Hopefully these help start the way for a dry bedtime🤞🏻
Kerryw88 • 04/12/2023 - 17:49
Received our pack and we have had a wee sit down and talk about them and how they will hopefully build confidence.

Pack arrived yesterday, tried out last night and amazing. My 4 year old was leaking through regular pull ups on a nightly basis and doesn't wake to wee during the night. This morning we woke to a heavy ninjama pant but his sheets where dry. He said they were felt really nice to wear and wants these each night from now. He was very excited by the design and said they look much nicer to

That should say not a nappy! Silly auto correct 🤣
Daniels89 • 04/12/2023 - 17:56
Our packs arrived yesterday, used them for the first time last night and so far so good. My son is 4 and was dry at night but since starting school he has had a few wet nights so we have gone back to night time pants.
Naztically • 04/12/2023 - 17:59
Got our packs. I am so happy and grateful.

Arrived yesterday and already trialled them last night, my daughter said they were very comfy and didnt hurt her bottom. The pants were very wet this morning but the sheets were dry. I did have to pull them up properly in the night as they had slipped down, maybe the sizing needs adjusting as a newly 4 year old and a 7 year old has quite a different waist size.

Packs have arrived and hoping these will help my son (7) feel less self conscious about bed wetting 🤞

Got our packs today and excited to see how we get on tonight. My son says they look more like pants than a nappy and is willing to try these for bed tonight. We frequently wet through other bedtime nappies and leak onto the sheets, i will update how we get on 🤞
AgnesAgnes • 04/12/2023 - 18:04
My son is 4 years old and still needs nappies.😔We have problems that nappies constantly leak and he wakes up all wet😞 Today we received the package and will be testing Ninjamas pyjama pants😍
The pants look very beautiful 🚀the rockets are drawn, the elastic band is soft, it doesn’t pinch him and he feels very comfortable🤩 We'll wait until the next day and see how he spent the night in these pants 😊
BB1994 • 04/12/2023 - 18:06
