Bedwetting is a very common problem. At four years of age nearly one in three children wet the bed. This falls to about one in ten by age six and one in twenty by age ten.

The following graph shows the percentage of children who wet the bed at different ages so you can see your child is not the only one with this problem.

The good news is for most of these children it will stop without treatment or concern. There are millions of people who suffer from varying levels of incontinence.

Incontinence is not a disease and in many cases can be cured by medication and always managed so there is minimal disruption to your life.

There are millions of children, young and older adults who suffer from varying levels of incontinence including simple bed wetting.

The myth that incontinence is an inevitable fact of life when we get old is simply not true. There are many effective, non invasive treatments that will cure or significantly decrease most common types of incontinence.

Your first step should be to purchase one or two Thirsty Mats to help deal with the situation. Professional advice is available free of charge to anyone living in Australia by contacting The National Continence Helpline on 1800 33 00 66.

Using our Thirsty Mats can also help sufferers of bed wetting and incontinence wake up to a brighter day.
