nighttime pull-ups or alternatives?

My ds9 has some developmental issues and he's still in nite time diapers. He also leaked through the pull ups. I tried the target brand (up & up) nighttime underwear and they are great. He rarely leaks through! They are pretty basic with either blue or green stripes. Hope this helps!

I bought these to place over, or under the sheets, and they are great. Easy to wash and dry, and stand up really well.

Maybe you could make or buy some type of underwear cover made of waterproof PUL (polyurethane lined fabric) to wear over the under jams? Maybe someone on Etsy sells something like that if you don't sew.

Another thought would be to make something to put on the bed made of PUL so you wouldn't have to wash everything. I have a little old dog that occasionally pees or pukes on the bed, so before we went on vacation last time I bought two yards of the stuff and put it on top of all the bedding but under his ratty blankie that he sleeps on. It's wide enough that it almost covers the entire top of my king sized bed. Knock on wood, so far, so good. If something happens, I can pull off the blanket, leave the PUL, and throw down a different blanket or a towel on top. For a kid, I would sew something cozier to sleep on to the other side, maybe flannel, minky or fleece. Keep a couple handy so if one gets wet it can be pulled off and another one thrown on the bed so the kid can go right back to sleep.

I'd try another brand and size up. He might just need more of the absorbent material and sizing up will help (as long as he then doesn't leak out of the sides bc they're too big.)

Those mattress covers above are awesome. We have one on his bed & on our bed where he lands incase DS pees if he comes in during the night. It has saved our sanity.

And yeah, limit the blankets. Less to deal with. I've also found fleece intensifies the pee smell for some reason. Ick.

We used Goodnites - which worked well for us. Now instead of using those (DD was starting to get embarrassed about them) we wake her up & take her to the bathroom about midnight-ish. She uses the bathroom and doesn't even remember it. This almost always gets us through the night dry.

My daughter uses THESE

They look and feel like regular underwear with an insert that is disposable.

I'll second the recommendation for Target brand. We really like those. And make sure you're buying the largest size.

Goodnites and size up! Mine used them until 9 years old, I believe and then just stopped. The larger size holds more, we had far fewer wet beds in the larger size.
