Having a teenage boy who still wets the bed can be challenging. However, you have to be patient and eventually he will become fully potty-trained.

In the mean time, you have to find the right type of protection for him during the night to manage his problem. These may include a bigger diaper. In order to reduce the risk of leakage from his diapers, it is also advised to let him wear a pair of waterproof plastic pants over his diapers. It is also important to refrain him from drinking any form of fluid after 6pm while a 3-hour periodic waking up for him to use the toilet will also be a good idea.
