What's your bed-wetting experience that almost ruined you?

Talking about little dark childhood secrets, a lot of us got alot of em! Bed-wetting is one of those secrets we dare not talk to our friends about but would want to know their own secrets. It was viewed as something embarrassing and quite shameful. One could easily become a laughing stock among his/her peers if the secret leaks out!

While it is true that not everyone bedwetted as a kid, it is quite unlikely that a child would go through his whole childhood or even early adolescence without having experienced it. For some, the duration is very brief, for others it was extended, while for some it extends right into their teenage years or even early adulthood... but it does eventually stops.

Anyways for me, it didn't stop as early as it did for most of my peers because I remember me having many bed-wetting episodes when I was in junior secondary school, that's around ages 11-13&14. It was a nightmare for me because I always get scared when it happens, more than I do when at home. The reasons are because, as I have already stated here before, my boarding school is literally a forest and doing out in the night is always scary, the other reason is because I know I am dead if anyone, especially my friends. Fortunately for me, whenever I bedwet I don't get comfortable sleeping in my piss until in the morning when someone would wake me up and say, "hey girl you're drowning" lol, like some people who had similar problems. I always wake up few minutes after I piss myself, after spending some minutes with feelings of self pity, self disgust and utter regret, I summon courage to get up, go to the bathroom and clean up. After changing into dry clothes, I wash the wet cloth that same night, dry them on an open window with adequate ventilation, mop the spot on my mattress while exposing it to dry, then I pick up a book under the guise of "studying". You'd think I am a serious student while all I was doing was buying time for my mattress to dry lol. Well sometimes it did dry on time when there's enough ventilation which I mostly augment with manual fanning, with either a book or an actual handfan. When it dries I go back to sleep immediately and when it's morning, it's like nothing ever happened! Not to mention the sweet smelling Arabian perfume I apply all over the place gifted to me by my mom when she came back from Saudi Arabia that time. People literally wanted to sit on my bed! Now that's pretty smart innit? 😂😂

However your smart girl got quite unfortunate one day and was literally caught doing her midnight shenanigans by a fellow room-mate who went woke up to ease herself. I actually scared her when she saw me blowing the mattress religiously and she was like "gurl what you doing 😒". I told her I accidentally spilled water on my bed while studying and she said "oh". She went back to sleep, or so I thought...

This gurl popped back up again when I was washing the piss clothes and was like "did you spill water on your clothes too?😃". Dang! She knew! The lies were over so I came as clean as a whistle. I told her that I peed myself in my dream and we just laughed about it. I was kinda uneasy and didn't trust her enough to believe she won't tell others because there was an incident that happened when a girl who owns her upper bunk peed herself and literally gave her a bath she didn't ask for as she was at the bottom. This girl peed in torrents lol! For your urine to flow from your bed to the ground shows how comfortable you must have gotten in your pee dream haha. I don't usually get that comfortable because most times I still feel the need to urinate even after waking up from a bed wetting dream, which means I didn't empty myself on my bed. So I made this girl promise not to tell anyone about it and luckily for me, she turned out trustworthy and till date, no one knows, even my close high school friends, that I once was a chronic bedwetter. I can only imagine the damage it would have done to my self-esteem if they had found out. I know what happens when your close friend find out about this and it isn't a good experience at all! People who are know for their bed wetting skills often take their mattresses out, line them up against the hostel wall for the sun to evaporate the piss of their mattresses, leaving illustrations of different maps of different countries around the world. One could literally use these mattresses to study geography lol! The stares that those kids received alone was mocking enough, not to talk of the constant verbal bullying they received.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed my story!

Yours Layly,
