My 13 Year son have bought himself some nappies, and I walk in his room he did not know I was there and he put one on. So I walk in my room and called him in, and I said to him, go and get me what's under his bed, and he said NO!!
So I got them and burned the nappies and said you can wear the one you have on all day now. Now I don't know if I should make him wear nappies because he keep's asking for more nappies of me and If I did let him Wear them what should I get him?

If he wants to wear them, tell him he has to buy them with his own money.
There are people that enjoy wearing diapers, baby clothes, drink out of a bottle. They like the comfort it brings. In fact, there are stores that sell adult sized baby furniture and clothing just for people with this predilection.
Your post is very hard to understand. At the end of your post you stated:
And Now I don't no if I should make him where nappies because he keep's asking for more Of Me
What do you mean by this? Are you considering forcing him to wear diapers? He's 13, that would be child abuse. There's a huge difference between someone wanting to wear diapers when they're grown, and being forced to wear them as some sort of punishment for "asking more of you".
Perhaps this is a cry for help, a cry for some attention, love.

Does he want to do that because he wets the bed ? If not, then he has a serious problem.

Have you taken him to a doctor to find out if there's a medical issue which makes him wet his bed?

Was it a family doctor, or a specialist?
If it's been two years, and this is still going on, day and night, then I'd go back to the doctor, and I'd ask for a referral to a specialist.

I would ask him if he wants to wear them, at least at night.
If he does, I'd get him adult diapers, like depends.
My neighbors son had issues with bedwetting until he was 14. When she went to the specialist and it was determined that there was nothing medically wrong, they prescribed a special mattress pad. It fit on top of the existing mattress, and there were sensors in it. When even a drop of liquid was felt, it would set off an alarm, waking up her son so he could use the bathroom.
It worked for him. He simply had issues waking up when he had to pee. This trained his brain to do so.
But first I'd see a specialist and get a clean bill of health. Leave the diaper issue up to him, let it be his choice. You don't want him to be embarrassed. It's hard enough being 13, without having something different about yourself.
Good luck and keep me posted about the doctors appointment. :)

If he can't control himself, he should wear some kind of protection. There are disposable products/diapers for people who are incontinent (can't control their bladder). Where do you live? Are such products available there?

Nephrologist for kidneys (constant urination is a sign of diabetes) or urologist, most likely. I would not like to think a doctor found nothing wrong under the circumstances.

I don't understand your question.
You want to buy him diapers made for 6 year olds? They wouldn't fit. He's 13, right?
I would buy him adult diapers, or a liner. Here are a few examples.

You said he is 13.
If you can purchase adult diapers where you live, there are small sizes and a version for males.

Incontinent products normally go by hip size, so your l3 year old must be pretty skinny if you think a 6 year old diaper would fit him. Do the ones his bought fit him, if so, that is what he should wear.

Oi!
First ask him if he wants to wear them.
Second, if he does, go shopping with him and pick out some together. Depends makes undergarments for kids, did you look at the links I posted?
Third, and this should be the first thing you do, make an appointment with his doctor, and demand that he be seen by a specialist.

First, you need to improve your parenting skills. If I came upon my 13 yr old son using diapers, I would certainly not order him around like you say you did. I would discuss with him why he brought them and wanted to wear them. Especially if you were aware he had an incontinence issue.
Second, I would not try to embarrass him further by getting him baby diapers. Getting him an adult diaper will show him that even adults can have this problem and make him feel a little better about himself.
Finally, if the last time you discussed this with his doctor was over 2 years ago, then you are being remiss in not following up on this sooner. I really feel sorry for your son, that he had to go to the extreme of buying his own diapers.

Give him the money and you wait in the car. He chose his own before, he can do it again.
You can suggest there are brands for men but let him choose.

Ok, seriously... here is what I was asking:
How did he get there?
Where did he get the money?
How did he find the nerve to buy them?
If I sent my kid to buy them, they would be embarrassed and tell me no.
Just wondering.

When I first read this thread, because the OP (original poster) wrote it so poorly, I thought it was a matter of want, not need. She didn't mention that he had a problem with incontinence in her original post. She made it sound like he simply wanted to wear diapers.
Now that the issue has been made clear, that he has either a medical problem, or another problem, I have to say that no, I don't think he should have to pay for them himself. I do think he should be allowed to pick them out, if he chooses to wear them.
He hasn't gotten the medical care he needs to figure out why this is happening at the age of 13. This is not merely a night time issue, it happens during the day too, which really indicates a medical issue.
The least his mother can do is pay for undergarments so he's not embarrassed when this happens. Sadly, it seems that the least she can do, is exactly what she will do. The very least. :(

He was desperate enough to steal money to buy diapers. That is probably the saddest thing I've ever heard. That poor child.
You didn't really take him to the doctor 2 years ago, did you? I'd bet that you've never taken him to the doctor for anything. :(
This is your child. You brought him into this world, and it's your job to take care of him! Do you not find it disturbing that he was so desperate to get some help, to fit in, that he stole money so he could buy himself diapers?

Like Alty, when I first read this I thought we had a child with some sort of fetish. But reading on, it appears we have an abusive or ignorant mother who doesn't know how to care for her child. This boy should talk to a guidance counselor at school, I think children's services should get involved.
Imagine a child so desperate to steal money to buy diapers. I suspect this poor boy is being abused at school because of this.

As noted, you are meant to take care of your child. You get him the help he needs. You take him to a doctor and if the doctor can't solve the problem, you take him to a specialist.
You don't get angry at him because he has a problem. He should feel he can come to you with problems like this.
