Wetting or soiling accidents can be distressing for children to experience.

That’s why it’s important to make sure that their bedroom and the rest of your home are comfortable, safe and incontinence-friendly!

In this article, we give 4 of our favourite tips and ideas for ensuring your home is a safe and comfortable space for your child, as well as equipped to handle any unexpected accidents along the way.

Easy bathroom access

We've all been there - that frantic "gotta go NOW" feeling!

And let's be honest, kids are even worse at planning bathroom breaks than us grown-ups.

This is where a little bedroom feng shui (that's fancy talk for room layout) can be a lifesaver!

Location, location, location

If you're battling with last-minute bathroom dashes, try making your child's bedroom as close to the bathroom as possible.

Every second counts when nature calls! This is especially important at night if bedwetting is an issue.

Sibling sleepovers (without the rude awakening)

Sharing a room with a sibling can be epic, but sometimes it can also mean a longer journey to the bathroom.

If that's the case, try positioning your child's bed closest to the door. This makes those midnight dashes a breeze, and avoids any accidental wake-up calls for their brother or sister.

Remember, a little planning can go a long way in preventing accidents and keeping everyone happy (and dry!). So next time you're rearranging the furniture, keep those bathroom sprints in mind!

Set up an incontinence station

Let's face it, scrambling for supplies when an accident happens is no one's idea of fun. We've all been there, frantically searching drawers like a detective on a wild goose chase!

But fear not, there's a super simple solution to make change time a breeze: The Incontinence Supply Station.

Imagine a magical place where all your child's incontinence supplies live in perfect harmony, ready for action at a moment's notice.

This is the power of a designated supply station! Pick a drawer or cupboard in a convenient spot (bathroom or bedroom work well), and transform it into your leak-fighting HQ.

 

• Time-Saving Superhero: No more frantic searches! Knowing exactly where everything is saves precious seconds (and sanity) during a change.
• Easy Does It: If your child is old enough to change independently, having a designated station empowers them to grab what they need.
• Restock Reminder at a Glance: See what's running low and avoid that "oh no, we're out of wipes!" moment.

 

Here’s what to stock in your leak-fighting arsenal:

 

• Wet wipes: For quick and gentle cleaning after accidents.
  
  
• Barrier creams: Keeps your child's skin happy and healthy.
  
  
• Nundies pants: The ultimate weapon against leaks that give your child up to 12 hours of dryness and odour busting magic!
  
  
• Disposal bags: For discreet and hygienic disposal of used supplies.
  
  
• Entertainment for little wigglers (optional): A toy or activity can keep your child occupied during changes.

 

Make sure your child and any other caregivers know where the station is. Keeping the area free of empty packaging ensures everything is ready to go when you need it most.

Use quality incontinence products

Look, accidents happen, especially when you're a little adventurer on the go. That's where Nundies come in! These awesome pants are like superhero underwear for leaks, designed specifically for kids aged 4-15.

Super absorbent, super stealthy

Nundies have this clever trio of channels that are basically tiny highways inside the pants that soak up liquid in a flash, without feeling bulky or uncomfortable. No more leaks, no more worries – just epic adventures!

Dermatologically tested for happy skin

We know healthy skin is super important, that's why Nundies are dermatologically tested. This means they're gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin.

Just make sure you, your child (if able) or their carer change pants as soon as possible after they’re wet or soiled to prevent any irritation or risk of infection.

Leakproof leg cuffs

These are like tiny waterproof walls at the leg openings of the pants, making sure no pesky liquid escapes during adventures.

Soft, stretchy waistband

Putting on and taking off Nundies is a breeze, thanks to the soft and stretchy waistband. No wrestling matches here! You can also conveniently rip down the side seams of the pants if taking them down over the legs isn’t ideal.

These pants also feel just like regular underwear, so your child can move and groove with confidence.

Fresh all day (and night!)

Nundies have a built-in stink-blocker (odour-busting technology to put it a little more technically!) that keeps things fresh for up to 12 hours - even once the pants are off and thrown into the garbage.

Encourage a supportive household

Nundies are fantastic for leak-free fun, but we know accidents can sometimes be tough on a kid's confidence. That's why creating a supportive and encouraging home environment is super important.

Accidents happen, and that's okay!

Remember, wetting or soiling accidents aren't your child's fault, and getting mad or punishing them won't help. Stay calm, clean them up gently, and remind them that it happens to lots of kids.

Lots of hugs, love, and encouragement are the way to go!

Talk to any siblings about keeping things friendly and avoiding teasing. The more everyone understands and supports your child, the better they'll feel.

We hope this info equips you and your child for a journey towards worry-free adventures! Here's a quick recap:
