Nappies over size 7

[Kcoffecakebubs]

Hi, my son is in size 7 nappies from pampers. And he's just turned 2. I'm a bit worried about what happens if these get small? I haven't seen any bigger than this size? Do they exist?

Also- anyone had trouble finding size 7's, they seem like gold dust in the shops. Always missing from my weekly shop as not in stock. But only pampers seem to do a size 7, so can't even try other brands. 🤦🏻‍♀️

My almost 6 year old only wears a size 6 pull up for bed...he only moved to a 6 this year.
Is your son average size?
And what do you mean they didn't fit? Like you physically can't get them out or they leak quickly?

I use Pura nappies (ordered via their own website with free next day delivery). They go up to a size 6, but i find their sizing generous. My DC is a big tall 18 months and comfortable in a size 4. You can order a sample pack for 3.50 to try out.

My son is 2 years and 9 months. He is 95 percentile for height and slightly lower for weight. He has just outgrown size 7 nappies after about 10 months in that size. Pampers baby dry have a size 8 so he has just moved into these. I found them in Tesco but it might be they are only on sale in the bigger stores. Also, the nappy pants in size 7 are a similar size to nappies in size 8. I'm potty training when we reach the summer hols but I reckon the size 8 would last a good few months before he grows out of them. His growth rate is thankfully slowing down.

I forgot to say that I think you can order them from boots too.

Pampers do size 8 nappies. I normally found them in the major supermarkets but think Tesco’s didn’t have them. If you can’t find them, huggies pull up pants 2-4 fit very well on my large 3 year olds. They do ones for day and night, and can be bought on amazon prime.

I found the flo and Fred rascal pull-ups from tesco good and their biggest size seemed to have a bit more stretch than a pampers size 7

My 13 month old wears size 6 nappy pants. 😱

Just to outdo you all, my 11yr old wears size 6 ones. True story

Aldi do nappy pants in a size 7, very good value. We put DS, in these during then size 7 pampers nappies at night, works well for us money wise

Pull ups.

My DS1 was a big lad and when he was younger Pampers only did up to a size 6. They did do the nappy pants, that seemed to be a bit bigger.

But by 2 and a half he was in pull ups. The night time ones are more absorbant.

Pampers babydry size 8 used to be fairly easy to find - I bought them from Asda, Sainsbury’s and Amazon, but that was some years ago. We then moved onto Libero nappies from the continence service.

Thanks everyone, I'm hoping he'll slow down soon and it won't be an issue, but just thought about it today! Is it the nappy pants they do in a size 8, or just taped nappies? He undoes those so we can't use them! 🤦🏻‍♀️

He is big for his age, he's 18kg now, over the top centile line, but has been for as long as I can remember. He's in 3-4 or 4-5 clothes and over the 98th for height too so in proportion- just a little giant!

I didn't realise Aldi did nappy pants in a 7, might give them a try too.

Appreciate the help

The ones we used were nappies with the sticky tape bits.

Sainsbury’s own have a very stretchy back. They only go up to size 6 but stretched a good way.
Also, try putting the nappy on back to front? It should make it harder to get them off? Might only work for a few days though til he works it out?

My 3 year old wears Aldi size 7 nappy pants at night. I often have to go to a few different Aldi’s to find them & rifle through the 6s to find one pack!

They’re a hell of a lot cheaper than dry nights and huggies pull ups.

We've always used cloth but my sister swears by Tesco Junior + for her quite big 9 year old who is still wet at night.
