What disposable nappies do mums use for their three year olds at night time?

At the moment I still use Pampers baby dry nappies at night. They are good. However as it is difficult to put a traditional nappie on a wriggly toddler these days I wondered wether the pull up type nappies suffice at bed time. I use pull ups during the day as dd not potty trained (thats another long story!)but not sure if they will cope with bedtime tossing and turning at bedtime. Your comments would be appreciated. Thanks

I use pampers/huggies/tesco depending on what's on offer
I find the pull ups aren't absorbent enough for mine but it depends how much they pee

I find the huggies pull ups the best.

Pampers Active Fit. But she's dry 9 nights out of 10.

pampers baby dry size 6, pull up were a disaster and he is nowhere near dry at night

I would say it depends on how full your daughter's nappy is in the morning. I found pull ups confused my son in the day and during a day time nap of 2 hours (yes even till he went to school!) that they wouldn't hold a lot of liquid.

We used pampers as he outgrew huggies (he wore a nappy at night until he was just turned 4 despite being full dry in the day from 2 3/4)

Aren't nappies cheaper? And I know about wriggling, I have an 18 month old who I may have to tape down

Re the day time if she is having a few accidents but sometimes makes it to the toilet/potty then the pull ups could be making it worse, some nurseries don't allow pull-ups as it confuses them. If she seems ready then get lots of nice knickers (very cheap from any supermarket) and go with it.

Thanks for your comments. My dd is no where near ready for potty training so pull ups ideal during the day. Will abandon when potty training she is quite dry during the night so may experiment with a pull up as difficult to get a normal nappy her, will not lay down stay still etc.

Thanks
