William Getumbe, an Eldoret-based gospel singer and music producer, has opened up on being a bedwetter and how he lives with it.
Speaking exclusively to TUKO.co.ke’s Brian Ajon, the musician divulged that his wife, Virginia Masitha, is aware of his condition and she is the one who diapers him every night before they go to bed.
Bedwetting is common
Bedwetting is an involuntary urination while asleep after the age at which staying dry at night can be reasonably expected.
According to Getumbe, many adults bed-wet but most of them are too shy to share it with their partners and this he claims has broken many families.
The Fuata Yesu hitmaker heaped praise on his wife for accepting him and even diapering him like a baby every night. “Many families have been broken because of bedwetting.
However, my wife understands me so well, she diapers me every night without looking down on me,” Getumbe said.
Getumbe urges bedwetters to use diapers
Getumbe claimed that many mature men wet their beds at night; he has advised anyone with the condition to accept it and uses diapers to avoid embarrassment.
“Many men are using pampers, in fact, high schoolers, drunkards, and those who are terminally ill. I advise men not to fear using diapers, it is the only way to keep the bedroom clean,” Getumbe added.
Physical and psychological conditions can lead to some people having bedwetting. Common causes of children and adults having bedwetting include:
