  • Drying wet sheets outside

    I find if I wet the (protected) bed and don't hang the sheets up somewhere, they are still wet the following night. I prefer to hang them outside as they dry quicker, but I always wonder if the neighbours notice the yellow stains. I've also been lucky since no-one I know has unexpectedly come to my house while I dry the sheets.

    I've also given up on washing my mattress protector after every wetting. It takes days to dry (even outside), so now I dry it outdside without washing and put it back on the bed. It has several stains, but doesn't really smell too bad.

    You can also put something like a coat hanger or a stick under the sheet while still on the bed so it is raised like a tent.This helps it dry faster if you don't want to put them out where they can be seen.

      Or place a bed warmer under the waterproof sheet and drive the moisture out with heat from below.

        That sounds like a great way to melt your waterproof sheet.

            I’ve been using them for years beneath my waterproof sheet without issue. Below is a FAQ copied directly from the website:

            Q. Are they safe if something is spilled on them (or a child wets the bed)?

            A. Yes. The heating element wires within the bed warmers are shielded. In the case of bed wetting, there is also a cleanliness issue. We recommend covering the bedwarmer with a rubber sheet that can be purchased at stores such as Wal-Mart. The rubber sheet will help keep the bed warmer clean and will reduce the need to clean it regularly.

                I dry my sheets outside. I think my neighbours must know I wet the bed as there are often sheets and terry nappies on the line and I live alone. I guess no one will say anything as they are too embarrassed. Everyone knew I wet the bed when I was a kid but as I don't live in that neighborhood any more no one knows I've always wet the bed,
