Diapers should not dictate who you are

How many of us have said: "Oh, I can't do that"? Too often, it is because of a preconceived idea that we have about our abilities. How many of us first thought riding a bike was impossible? Or how about swimming? Or maybe there is something in school! The mind is a wonderful thing. It can convince you something is impossible or it can help you to do things you would not. But for you to achieve your goals and your greatness, your mind needs to be convinced first. Too often, we let our fears dictate what we do or how we act. Many of us do not do fun things because we wear diapers. But think about diapers. They are nothing more than an absorbent underwear. Astronauts wear diapers! Really! There is a special name for them: MAGs, which stands for maximum absorption garments. But they are diapers.

Mythbuster!

"A kid who wets the bed is just too lazy to go to the bathroom"  Absolutely false! Nobody wets intentionally.

However, according to a number of studies, there is no correlation between waking a child to get him to go late at night and preventing wetting. He is just as likely to wet again later at night.

Do diapers prolong bedwetting?

"It is a common myth that using something absorbent enables bed wetting by keeping kids dry and not letting they know they wet the bed. But there is no research that supports that illusion", informs Aubrey Yuzva, Brand Manager for GoodNites. "Using an absorbent product while sleeping does not make a difference in conquering bed wetting". On the other hand, there was a survey done at an American Academy of Pediatrics seminar on bedwetting in November 2003, with approximately 300 pediatricians and nurses. When asked about the use of diapers with bedwetters, 85% expressed concern that wearing diapers "give the wrong message" that it ts okay to wet at night and not get up and go to the bathroom. The main argument against wearing diapers is that the disposable diapers remove the wetness feeling and thus hides any trigger to wake up. There is no real comparison between disposables and re-usables. The disposables remove liquid better, the cloth diapers feel d
