If she is wetting the bed, then wearing a diaper is a sensible action to take to avoid mess. Whether it is 'normal' is obviously a subjective question. It is quite common for bedwetting to continue into the early teens. With older children, pull-ups or 'Goodnites' are the most common disposable night time garments because they are less likely to cause embarrassment since they look less like diapers. They are not necessarily entirely suitable if the child is having heavier bedwetting problems however, and so sometimes disposable diapers are the best option.
Maybe it is also worth looking in to the underlying reasons, if any, that are causing your child's bedtime incontinence. At the same time, you shouldn't let the stigma of diapers only being associated with babies cause a worse situation which would come about through not wearing them. The laundry required each day and emotional stress through loss of sleep to the child is far more damaging than sticking to an idea that the child is 'too old' or this is not 'normal'.
For older children, these garments are usually described differently to diapers, presumably because of the stigma mentioned above. They will be found in the store as disposable briefs, they have tabs for fastening with elastic leg straps to stop leakage.
