Parents of older night wetters?

[PenguindreamsofDraco]

My son is 6.5 and has never had a dry night. That's fine, he'll get there. We used to use Underjams and they were great, but have now been discontinued. The only make I can now find are Huggies DryNites (the ones with Spiderman on), which are utter shite - they leak virtually every night, and he's getting quite upset.

What do any of you use?

Thanks missyb1. Interesting how this happens with deep sleepers!

About the lifting for a wee late at night - I was told by the school nurse and also by ERIC to avoid that too. It's not teaching them to wake themselves up to go to the toilet, even if you might get a dry bed out of it.

Does anyone else's DCs get worried about it? DS desperately wants to stop wearing nappies but he just isn't able to. I don't put any pressure on him, as ERIC advised it wouldn't help to stress him out. I don't know what to tell him other than it will stop one day and we just have to keep trying...it does make me feel sad as I get the impression he is ashamed .

We use Aldi size 6 pull ups for DS2 who is nearly six. They rarely leak and are inexpensive compared to other brands.

We use Lidl or Tesco own brand pull-ups for ds who is 6.5 and he seems to mainly stay dry in them

We use Lidl or Tesco size 6 / 6+ pull ups. They're still just about fitting my 7.5 year old DD but it's a tight fit as she is in size 8-9 clothes now.

Don't know what we'll do when she can't fit in them anymore as the buggies dri-nights are useless - they leak and are so expensive (I have twins, so two each night seems like so much money!).

I have looked at washables as my youngest is using washable nappies and I am therefore storing/washing nappies anyway. By with twins in nappies and an every-three-day wash routine I'd need at least 8 washable junior nappies which would cost well over £100 to set up. I've not taken the plunge yet as I keep hoping at least one of them will stop soon .....

Also use aldi size 6 pull ups here - my ds is a larger than average 6 year old. Occasional leaks but much better than anything else we have tried . A lot cheaper too!
