Reddit reviews Sahara Extra-Absorbent Washable Underpad,blue and White, 34x36 in., Each

protip order some of these on amazon just fold up after and throw in the wash. They don't soak through like a towel and hold plenty of liquid.

I tried to night potty train my daughter when she was 5 - put her in underwear overnight and she did great for a couple of months (including a vacation out of state) and then started wetting the bed again for no apparent reason. We put her in overnight diapers, which worked well for a few months, but then she developed a persistent rash and we decided we needed to stop with the diapers so the rash could heal. I've been waking her up every night before I go to bed (~11) for a potty break. That seems to do the trick most nights. But it hasn't taught her anything about getting up to pee when she needs to - she sometimes has a nearly full bladder when I wake her up, but her body isn't waking her up. Anyway, main point of this story is that some 6 year olds aren't able to stay dry at night and it's not due to illness or stress, it's just how their body works.

I bought six or so washable bed pads. They have been lifesavers - I put them on top of whatever she sleeps on (not under the sheet - on it!). Easy to switch out in the middle of the night - no changing sheets. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Sahara-Extra-Absorbent-Washable-Underpad-White/dp/B000FEGUEQ/ref=sr_1_8_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1479431879&sr=1-8&keywords=bed+pads

I tried using charts and bribing which worked great until the charts and bribes stopped. My son was far more interested in playing than taking potty breaks. What finally worked for us was making him clean himself up when he had accidents. Go into the bathroom, remove his wet underwear and clothes, take them to the laundry room, go to his room and get clean underwear and clothes. Once he figured out how much longer it took for him to clean up after having an accident vs. taking a minute to go to the bathroom he was fully potty trained, no accidents since. For night time potty training, I bought these washable underpads (http://www.amazon.com/Sahara-Quilted-Washable-Underpads-Absorbency/dp/B000FEGUEQ/ref=pd_sim_hpc_5) for his bed. I bought 3. I place one ontop of his bed sheet so if he had an accident I could just switch to another pad, and change PJs. Good luck!

I've used these before. Good price and reusable.

We use these.

Just keep three or four of them around. Take them to the washing machine in the morning. Keep them in rotation. Towels don't work for me either. I make puddles. I've actually gotten dehydrated from it after really hot sessions. So yeah, the pee pads are awesome. Nobody has to sleep in the wet spot.

Oh, incidentally... keep baby wipes by the bed too. This isn't just advice for squirters, either. Baby wipes make cleanup after sex super-convenient so you don't have to ruin the mood by running to the bathroom. Oh, the inappropriate ways that I use my children's stuff...
