HELP! Disposable Nappy Pad / Boosters needed for heavy wetting toddler

9 replies

I'm at my wit's end... I have a 23 month old toddler who is a heavy wetter at night and until now we have been using the Mothercare Smart Nappy (size large) disposable pads inside his normal disposable nappy. Both the pad and the nappy are soaked through by morning, but at least his pyjamas and bed stay dry.

I have just found out that Mothercare have discontinued the disposable nappy pads (which were originally designed to go inside a reusable nappy wrap) and I cannot seem to find a suitable alternative.

Can anyone help me? I can't face having to go back to washing bed linen and pyjamas every day, not to mention having a very grumpy wet toddler in the morning. I don't want to go down the path of reusable boosters, I just want to boost the absorbency of his nighttime disposable nappy.

I've tried all my local mothercare stores, and none of them have the large size in stock, only the newborn or medium size.

Not used them myself, but would something like this be any good? I have used this website before and can recommend them.

Hi I have exactly the same problem! Try mothercare disposable nappy pads although u might have to order online as no one seems to stock them, I think I might try tenna lady pads actually or cheap equivalent x

Lille healthcare ones designed for adult incontinence. I used them for my toddler. They're available online or in many chemists.

Hi, a similar alternative would be flip nappy disposable inserts (can be purchased from mothercare online often in 3 for 2 deals or other cloth nappy sites like baba me) or gnappies disposable inserts. Currently Ocado stock them and do two packs for £17.

Do they have to be disposable? We had great success with hemp liners. They're only thin but massively absorbent and you can layer them up. They do take an age to dry though if you don't have a tumble drier.

Sorry just re-read the op. Ignore me!
