Anyone using Size 2 Wambamboos... Do you think you would need a size 3?

28 replies

Flamesparrow · 19/02/2007 01:07

Following on from another thread, we're trying to work out if there is much call for a size 3.

My DD would need a size 3 for night use as she has a huge bum and is not yet dry at night.

Anyone else?

Yes me!!

Hehehe @ Flame

Bless ya smooch

Seriously, though, are we missing a trick? I mean, nappies for older ones are really hard to find, per many threads on here.

Are there many people out there struggling with night time on an older child? I mean, it must be the case...

They have to be - I stopped cloth at night with DD because she was too big for the size 3 tots, and she hated the bedwetter pants with a passion - the wbbs could have been the thing that kept us going.

I think you're probably right.

What's wrong with the bedwetter pants (ME?)

They were too big round the legs, but the only thing that covered her bubble bum, so I had to take a tuck by the leg and that made it uncomfortable... spiderman pull ups won out (very girly girl )

They were ME night pants?

'course one problem is that you need some way of making the leg cuff adjustable to fit a wiiiiide range of sizes, without it being nappy-ish.

Also absorbancy needs to be pretty high.

I wonder what our mothers all did!!! I will ask mine (not sure when I stopped wetting the bed )

Yup - they were the £14-15 or whatever bedwetter pants.

My mum says that I was in 3 terries all folded together - the uncomfort made us dry earlier Could be right I suppose... seeing as DS slept through for his first night in nearly a year last night and he was in a disposable I am having no idea about nights now

Well we don't seem to have squillions of requests, but I have still asked the Q and we've discussed some design options.

I'm thinking, attached wrap, poppered side for comfort and not nappy-ish-ness, while giving the ability to pull up and down, and fit well around the waist AND legs.

Any thoughts?

Emma

MyNamesNotDaveItsRodney · 22/02/2007 20:17

Yes - I like the sound of the poppered sides especially - it was the lack of adjustability which caused the issues with the bedwetters.

Jelley · 22/02/2007 20:24

Sounds good to me.
I gave up on reusables with the dds who were late getting dry at night. (DD1 was almost 5 and huge).

Give me a couple of years, and I'll buy some

horsemadgal · 22/02/2007 21:39

Yes Emma, poppered sides and attached wrap would be fab, and elasticated front an back!!
I love the ME AIO's but they are just not absorbant enough to use as a pull up.

MrsDoolittle · 31/03/2007 21:48

Now this is why I am on here tonight.
Dd has been potty trained since last summer. Because has has outgrown her huggles and bumbles I have now use 'disposable' pull-ups at night. However, she has eczema and she has has a degree of this all iwnter in her nappy area.
I am now thinking it's the disposable nappies and I'm wondering, like you Flame, if it's worth buying some bigger nappies to get her through the night.
I'm also imagining that I may have to with ds as boys usually take longer to become dry.
Same as you Flame?

DD has grown into her bedwetter pants properly and they are doing well at night - they do cost a small fortune

MrsDoolittle · 31/03/2007 22:04

I was wondering if you knew anything about the bumper nappies?

The lady at easy peasy nappies suggested them to me.

Bedwetter pants??

Bedwetter pants are by motherease here not got round to listing them yet

OP posts:
MrsDoolittle · 31/03/2007 22:12

But £15????

Surely I would be better buying a couple of bumper nappies and wraps?

Flamesparrow · 31/03/2007 22:21

B wouldn't agree to wearing nappy & wrap after being in disp pull ups. I bought 3 bedwetters and I think they have probably already paid for themselves the amount pull ups cost

DS will wear them too (even if he has a smaller bum and needs a belt )

OP posts:
MrsDoolittle · 31/03/2007 22:23

Did you try disp. pull-ups then?

Maybe I need to try bedwetters? I'm sure it's the grotty disposbale that are the problem.

She was in disp pull ups for ages - it was costing a fortune which is why I switched. The problem with the bedwetter though is there is no liner and it is really hard to put one inside without sewing it in. Its good because DD feels the wetness, but she does have a sore looking patch on her bum where she has reallys trong wee by the looks of it.

Switching washing powder this week though so that might help with it.

Now on 2 dry nights to every 1 wet, so things are improving I gave up lifting

Dragonhart · 31/03/2007 22:39

Oh! Oh! Oh! Please get them to make a pull up wambamboo! And not just size 3. 4 and even 5! I love my wbbs and ds is a pretty big boy (as you both know ). They still have some room to grow into but a good pull up which can actually hold the size of wee big children have- bliss!
