Hey everybody, it’s Katie. Since Courtney has decided to step away, and all the bedwetting confessions are in her twitter dms, I figured I would just tell you guys about my own bedwetting experience.
So, I was a bedwetter until I was 8 and I wore pull-ups at night for it. After I stopped bedwetting, I thought of anyone who did wet the bed as a baby or a dork. I remember in 4th or 5th grade a girl in my class got caught wearing pull-ups at a sleepover and that news quickly spread to the entire class (and probably grade) and we all, especially me, teased her for still peeing the bed.
Karma always comes back, though, because years later when I was a freshman in high school, I woke up to a wet bed. Let’s face it, a 15 year old peeing the bed is a lot more embarrassing than a 10 year old doing so. It was like 7:30 when I woke up to this and I had to get ready for school so I had no choice but to tell my parents what had happened. Thankfully my little sister didn’t find out, but both my parents got a laugh out of it even though they were sympathetic. It was the most humiliating experience of my teenage years and I still don’t understand why it happened.
That was the last time I ever peed myself until last week when I was preparing to have my bladder controlled for a wetting challenge and I had a dream I was holding my bladder, went to the bathroom and peed, and I woke up having wet the bed. I then peed the bed again the following two nights while having my bladder controlled.
So that’s my story with bedwetting. I don’t know if that makes me a bedwetter or not. What do you guys think?
