dd1 is 3.10 and has been daytime potty trained since 2. However, she is showing absolutely no signs of training herself at night. We've never had a dry nappy. We even tried her in knickers when she asked a couple of weeks ago, but she was wet when I checked her at 10pm and wet again in the morning, and oblivious to the fact.

She has been in motherease onesize since birth. We have used a mixture of these and motherease bedwetter pants for the past year or so. The onesize nappies dig into her hips with the poppers, so before I fork out and get more bedwetters, I wondered if anyone else had any washable recommendations for the older child? I'm not the greatest fan of the bedwetters, but they do work. She loves disposable pants but I'd really rather not have to be forking out for them since I don't see her being dry at night anytime soon.

Why don't you like the ME bedwetters? They are doing ok for my 6yo.

We managed with ordinary XL size nappies for DD until she was nearly 6yo, but she was (is) quite petite. These look promising, thread here with more ideas.

My DD was always soaking in her nappy in the morning at around that age. I took her out of nappies anyway and reduced her fluid intake from 6pm to see how she would get on. She would have frequent accidents which didnt bother her either. We then started lifting her at 10pm and this has made the biggest difference. Now she is nearly 4.5 and we are getting very few accidents, even if we forget to lift her.

Sorry, just realised you were looking for washable recommendations.
