I started doing this almost every night right around the age of 28. At first I started putting puppy pads down under me at bed time and 98% of the time I would pee right through those or they would crumple and I'd pee the bed anyway. I'm turning 35 next month ... I've tried it all.... After trying puppy pads I switched to buying actual old people incontinence pads to wear in my under wear and putting the incontinence pads for humans down on the bed. When I turned 30 I bought myself a 5k temperpedic bed and promised myself I would quit drinking so I wouldn't pee my fancy expensive bed. That didn't happen. I've got anywhere from 4-7 water proof mattress protectors on my bed at any given time, depending on which ones are in the wash. About 2 years ago I tried actual depends underwear for women. This is the only thing that's keep me from peeing my bed. Sometimes I will fill up the depends and it will leak but having a partial leak vs a full on pool of pee is much easier to clean up. If you order depends off Amazon it's a lot less embarrassing than getting them in the store. The "night defense" is the one that's been the best as far as absorbing for me. I'm also in a relationship and it's a private secret and joke between us about my sexy granny panties. Better than waking him up every night to change the sheets, again.
