That should have read I could not find a diaper big enough.

No, she is saying that diapers don't typically come in sizes for older
children. Was there a diaper that fit your 14-year-old? When my 8-year-old
was still wetting the bed, I could find a diaper that was big enough, they
were all so small and cut into her legs. Pull-ups otoh, which Marie is
suggesting that you can use goes up to bigger kid sizes.

are only glorified diapers, but wanted to point out that for
nighttime
wetting I do not believe it matters. Being a bed-wetter will
absolutely not depend on the type of diaper you are using. A 5 year
old most likely will not fit in the largest size diaper there is.

That's a good point. I used Pullups when I had a five year old who
wasn't
dry at night. (The other two were mysteriously night trained the same
week-end they became potty trained.) I certainly wouldn't put a nine
year
old in a diaper - I don't mean to be punative!

What on earth is punative about having a nine year old who consistently
wets the bed wear a diaper?

What would be punative would be to insist that he has to be in a wet
bed every night, because YOU think there's something wrong with a nine
year old wearing a diaper!

What do you think we ought to do with our children when they are very
late to be able to stay dry at night? My son was 14 -- until then, he
was wet almost every night. There was no medical problem, he just
inherited lousy genes -- I wet the bed until I was 8, DH until he was
12, one of my brothers until he was 13, one of my uncles until he was
17. It's just one of those things. I can't imagine telling him that
he was just going to have to wake up in a urine soaked bed every night
because he was too old to wear a diaper! I was glad, in a way, when he
got big enough to wear depends -- since they are made for adults, it is
clear that there are some adult sized people who have to wear diapers
(call them what you will -- they are diapaers).
