Can anyone recommend a reusable pull up for night time use?

Have always used disposables but DS1 is now dry during the daytime. He often wakes up at night if he needs to go to the loo but we still generally have a damp pull up in the morning.

Presumably there are washable pull ups for night time use? Are they any good?

I have never seen night time pull ups apart from pyjama pants, and they are disposable, with my DS1 we took a big leap when he was eventually dry in the day we got a'wet sheet' for the bed, kind of a matress protector thing, and went all out with nothing at night we explained to him what was happening and lifted him twice, once after an hour or 2 in bed then again as we went to bed, we also stopped drinks after 5:30pm, as my son went to bed at 6:30pm, except for his hot chocolate which we reduced in size and he only had a few accidents from then on plus with the wet sheet it is easier to clean. We also had a spare duvet just incase, you might want to get 2 wet sheets it was hard getting 1 washed and dried in the day then again it was winter, lol, hope this helps

I forgot to say in all that, that we used Asda smart price boxers (£2 for 3 pairs) instead of pull ups etc

we just started using Motherease bedwetter pants. they are huge, mind, like the size of a nighttime boosted cloth nappy, but they do pull up and down like proper undies. if ds objects, we just tell him that they are big and fluffy to keep his bottom warm at night! they dry very quickly and absorb LOTS of wee, but they are a bit pricey (about £15 a pair) but they do have resale potential, just like cloth nappies. we got 2 pairs, and they do dry quickly enough that if ds wets 2 nights in a row then one pair is dry in time for that night. I'll try to post a link
