    My 13 year old son wants to wear nappies again.
    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:

    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.

    Is he okay with bowel movements and uses the toilet for that?

    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.
