Travel, vacation & …bedwetting….at night - a product is born

Travel, vacation & …bedwetting….at night


Many of us have experienced that Traveling with kids, as a family, is not always just pleasure…and I already heard many parents say:  it's better to stay at home than boarding on a plane as family.

Well my first recommendation is to read some articles, get some tips browsing the web…some articles are standard and state the obvious, many of them try to sell us something…but sometimes , we get this specific tip…that fits us, and which can make the holiday much more pleasant….

I wanted to share with you how we got to make the Soft'n Dry….


At that time, when we traveled, our kids were 4 and 6 years old (a boy and a girl…)
Well, they were both long past the diaper stage…but from time to time, it happened that they had a bedwetting issue at night.

Usually,it happened when they were emotionally troubled or been sick, had a cold.

And yes, going to a vacation, sleeping in foreign bed, for some kids, it's an issue and can be emotionally hard.

I recall that one of my kids, had a period of constant bedwetting problem, every night.
You can imagine (or maybe you also experience…), every day to change the bedsheets, every day to make laundry, every day…every day…

And we had this mattress protection which you put UNDER the sheets….but still you have to change it every day…

If you have this problem as well, you understand me….



And then you go traveling, or even on a vacation for one week….

AND, on the first night in the hotel….where you suppose to stay the whole week…your child "made his bed" at night, what's now?

What are you going to do all week? What an embarrassment with the hotel…shell we tell them? Ask to change the shits? What about the mattress…

So this was US….what now?

So we were in India at that time….I went to look in babies /  kids stores if there is something to protect the mattress like we had at home.

And of course I did NOT find what I looked for…..BUT

I found something that the locals are using instead of diapers….as using disposable diapers making all this garbage is a problematic issue in India, since in many cases there is no garbage disposal system, and they have to burn their own waste….in many times they avoid diapers, and just let the kids go without anything…

And from there, the conversion of the product and material to something which can be useful in our world was very quick.



For few months we used it ourselves,  tried it in various options, sizes as well in different weather (winter /summer…)…

And with few adjustments and changes….we got to the Soft'n Dry….

It might looks like simple fabric, and it IS…But


  • It is super absorbent
  • It dries very fast
  • The water (pee) spreads widely on the fabric, and not just gather where the spot is…
  • It saves a LOT of hustle
  • You protect the mattress; it dries in less than 30 minutes after washing
  • No need for full laundry round,
And most important

You do not have to change all the bedsheets every day !!!

Its recycled materials, it Hypoallergenic,,,,

So
What will you do on your next vacation…

Soft'n Dry…..it comes in different sizes and colors…
