Survey finds London is UK bed wetting hotspot

New research suggests half of British adults have wet the bed, with Londoners the worst culprits.

The survey by online bathroom retailer UK Bathrooms polled 2,034 people with 54% of them owning up to soiling the bed since they turned 18.



Many of these blamed ‘alcohol overindulgence’ for the embarrassing episode. Split into men and women, the survey showed more men (67%) have wet their bed than women (33%). The average age for adult bed wetters was found to be 21.

The following regions were identified as the top five: London – 17%, South East of England – 14%, Scotland – 12%, North West of England – 9% and West Midlands – 6%.
