Sleep Dry Briefs™ are waterproof absorbent briefs for those who wet the bed, a condition called enuresis (en-yur-ree-sis). The pattern contains sizes 5-16.
Sleep Dry Briefs should be used in conjunction with a program of learning not to wet the bed. Limiting fluids in the evening, waking a child up during the night to urinate, and other methods have a high success rate. Please consult with a specialist in this field to find the program that will best meet your child's needs.

*HINT!*
