Help! I need the wisdom and experience of mn here please.
My DD will be 2 soon and is currently leaking through her nappy every night. This means I'm washing vest, sleepsuit, sleeping bag and often bottom sheet every day which is getting exhausting.
She does wee a lot overnight depite rarely drinking in the 2 hours before bed, but the problem is compounded by her being a front sleeper so all the wee ends up at the very front of the nappy. The leak is almost always over the top of the waistband or at the hips rather than around legs.
We are currently using Aldi nappies as pampers leaked previously. She is in the right size for her weight (5+) we tried going up a size but they were too baggy around the legs and all the wee fell straight out the legholes instead.
I've tried double nappy, and that didn't work either. Tried Lidl brand, they leaked even more than Aldi.
I know cloth would be one possible solution but we had terrible damp and mould problems due to drying cloth nappies over winter so we had to give those up and I sold everything and don't really want to go back to that again, especially bleaching the mould off the walls every week.
Can anyone recommend a disposable nappy with a massive capacity or maybe a super high waistband? I looked at pyjama Pant things but they seem less absorbent than a normal nappy?
Or would using a disposable insert type thing work?
AIBU?
To ask for advice on night nappies with massive capacity?

DD is in bed tonight wearing her normal nappy with one of DS nappies a size up backwards on top. Fingers crossed.
Looks like pampers, tesco and asda get some votes. No tesco or asda near us but will look out for one next time we're on a day trip. Thanks for advice and ideas all 
Whyamiboredathome, not really. Most of us would have been potty trained by 2. I was at 18m old. 'Dry at 3' is a new phenomenon because of how efficient nappies are these days.
Some babies are dry at 12 months 
but that's more likely to do with elimination training which is a bit crazy to me. We'll be potty training from between 12-18months using a similar method though.
We had this exact same problem - front sleeper, flood of wee at some point in the night.
The thing I found that worked (after perusing mn of course) were these incontinence booster pads www.ageukincontinence.co.uk/lille-healthcare-classic-pad-mini-insert-pads-490ml-pack-of-28.html added inside the nappy (just Aldi ones).
They need to be ones that don’t have a plastic backing, allowing the wee to flow through into the nappy too. Works like a charm. Age UK send them in discreet packaging too, good to know 
DS has now outgrown this phase, although he is still in pull-ups at night he just doesn’t do massive night wees now (probably bloody jinxed it, haven’t I).
