Ezy Dry Bed Up and Under Review - Easy Bedwetting Solutions for Kids and a Giveaway #SLHFeaturedThursdays

 

Let's talk bedwetting...it's a real part of raising children and it's stubbornly ongoing until your child masters the whole bladder thing. (Which can take forever.)

I've three young bedwetting people in my family and that's not including the toddler in nappies. I have had these boys of mine wetting their beds for what seems like an eternity and it's hard not to be frustrated about it. It's both frustrating for my boys who are ever-eager to grow up and it's hard on me.

The washing from three bedwetting kids in a family of eight people is astronomical! We've only an 8kg washing machine and one overnight accident can see me struggling with endless loads for the rest of the week while I try to get on top of it.

Not a great situation at all.

Over the years I have tried many night time solutions to combat this ongoing issue of bedwetting in our family. Currently the boys wear overnight pants which are great, however the expense of more than one child wearing them can be quite high.

I have purchased many bedding additions over time that have claimed to solve the issue of the enormous wash loads associated with accidents - namely mattress protection sheets. The idea of these seemed worthy however, more often than not, they've failed by simply not being effective at a crucial time - especially where the upper layers of the bedding is concerned.

When I was contacted by Ezy Dry Bed, I was understandably interested in trying out their Up and Under Linen and Mattress Protector on my son's bed. Ruben, (aged 8) has been wanting to go to bed with the freedom and maturity of no night pants for a good year now. (Maybe longer.) Sometimes he even intentionally leaves the night pants off without our knowledge and not surprisingly, that always ends in disaster!

When I told my defiant trickster that he'd be the lucky recipient of this new product, he was so excited! Finally Mum was going to trust him to go to bed without protection and that's huge in his 8 year old mind!

I have been quite confident that this product is not going to fail us, more so than any we have tried previously and that's because it's not only a base sheet, but a top sheet system too. It completely makes sense doesn't it?! Furthermore, the Up and Under system was invented by an experienced, local Melbourne Mum of three, Houda Merhi, who was tired of the whole wet night scenario and you can read her story here.

The Up and Under Linen and Mattress Protector is simple to use. It is placed on top of existing bed linen and takes no skill to set up.

As demonstrated (by Ruben's UFC Fighter figurine!), your child sleeps between the breathable sheets of the mattress protector in order to sleep with full wetness protection. The base fabric is a soft cotton terry which contains a Miracle Membrane and the top sheet is made from TENCEL which also contains the Miracle Membrane. Both combined surfaces form a full waterproof sleep system that acts to protect your mattress and bedding from wetness and staining as well as forming a hygienic barrier. The sheets are entirely noiseless too so no horrible rustling sounds and no slippage like others we've tried.

When your child has an accident within the confines of the Up and Under system, the wetness is fully contained and prevented from spreading to the bedding - all of it. No more enormous wash loads and no more night time bedding changes. What a relief! Just whip off the Up and Under to wash, change your child's pyjamas, (pop on a second, clean Up and Under) and it's back to bed for everyone.

The top sheet of the Up and Under fastens with strong studs to ensure the sheet stays in place over your child during the night and it is adjustable to fit different mattress sizes too. You just tuck in the poly-cotton sides beneath the mattress to secure it all and you're ready to go.



The first night we used the Up and Under - you guessed it...my son wet the bed! I did not find out about it until the morning though as he took care of it himself! He stripped his bed in the night, of the Up and Under, changed his own pyjamas and checked his bedding for any wetness (there was none) before putting himself back to sleep!

The Up and Under is 100% waterproof and capable of holding up to 1.2 litres of fluid.
It washes easily and dries quickly.
Is suitable for sensitive skin.
Is manufactured with natural fibres to ensure antibacterial and anti-allergenic effectiveness.
Comes with a 2 year guarantee.

I can't tell you how thrilled I am about the effectiveness of this product. It really does work.
