Plastic pants suitable for nocturnal enuresis in larger child or small adult

Nocturnal enuresis, also called bedwetting, is involuntary urination while asleep after the age at which bladder control usually begins. Bedwetting in children and adults can result in emotional stress. Complications can include urinary tract infections.

Most bedwetting is a developmental delay—not an emotional problem or physical illness.
