Advice regarding leaking nappies

I hope someone can help. For just over a month I have been having a problem with leaking nappies on my 18 month old daughter. We have always used the Tesco superfit and these were fine up to size 4+. The childminder said she thought they were getting a bit tight (almost like they did not go high up enough on her waist from her crutch. I then tried Tescos 5 Tescos (leaked) and huggies 5 (leaked) and so reverted to Tesco 4+ (leaked). This is much worse at night when she has been sleeping in them for 10 hours.

My initial thought is that the waist band of the nappy was slightly turning forward and that is where leak coming from as the waistband of her pyjamas was wet. What would cause this? This morning however she was saturated all over the pyjama trousers and I think has leaked all over (she was wearing a huggies 5). Has anyone got any suggestions as currently I can't seem to find any nappy of any size that does n't leak on her!!! Thanks.

I use Pampers for night time, as they don't seem to leak - also, probably obvious question, but have you checked that the leg cuffs aren't folded inwards? Sometimes that seemed to make a difference on my DC's.

Lidl pull up ones are fab at night. They are the only ones that don't leak on my son at night.
Also agree with paolosgirl about the leg cuffs.
Hope you find a solution.
