PeeJ’s™ bedwetting pants offer a solution for the untrained child or teen with special needs.

Intellectually challenged children, including those with MR, NRBI, Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD and others face challenges much bigger than bedwetting. Although bedwetting can be a secondary problem, the issue of a wet bed is the same.

Often these children learn less by "nature" and more by creating a uniquely structured environment where conditions are optimized for acquiring the skills that come to others naturally.

The PeeJ’s™ concept offers assistance in creating this positive environment. Remember, the child does not stay dry - only the bed.

Benefits:

• Sensory Integration.  PeeJ’s™ encourages the relationship between bodily sensations and the need for toiletry control for optimal comfort.

• Positive Sequence and Organization. PeeJ’s™ allows the child to sequence and organize information and attend to relevant stimuli and information his own body is feeling.

• Increased Awareness of Body.  PeeJ’s™ allows the child the awareness of, and control over, his/her own body. Disposable diapers pull away wetness making awareness of the wet sensation more difficult.

• Opportunity to Reward Positive Behavior.  The PeeJ’s™ approach allows the bedwetter to participate in the solution. The opportunity to reward positive behavior is inherent to the approach.

• Social Motivation.  Because PeeJ’s™ are not diapers the freedom from diapering is immediately available. The self esteem and positive feeling created by ending reliance on diapers can be a major accomplishment.

As parents, we are delighted to watch our children grow on a daily basis.  They provide us with countless hours of entertainment and never fail to make us proud.  However, along with this tremendous sense of fulfillment, we must also deal with the tough issues of parenting.  In our case, the toughest issue is our child’s bedwetting problem.

Before we developed the PeeJ’s^™ solution, we tried a number of bed wetting alarms that did not meet our wish to have our child achieve a sense of independence while tackling the bed wetting problem.  For a few months, we took the “lazy” approach by putting our child in disposable pull-ups or night time underwear.  During this time, our child always commented that he knew he had a “diaper on” and would not have to worry about “going potty” during the night.  Even though we enjoyed uninterrupted sleep, we knew that disposable, diaper-like products were not the proper solution for bedwetting.  Additionally, we were spending a lot of our hard-earned money on these expensive products and contributing to overtaxing our landfills by throwing these products in the garbage.

In an effort to address the bedwetting in a more effective manner, we consulted with our pediatrician.  This consultation proved invaluable.  Like many other doctors who are involved with children’s issues, our pediatrician believes that a bedwetting child is capable of understanding the problem and is able to work at visiting the bathroom during the night.  Furthermore, our pediatrician opposes products like pull-ups that do not promote independence.  Instead, our pediatrician told us to remove the “security blanket” (stop using pull-ups!) and prepare for a long, frustrating process where our child would sleep with no protection.  More..
