Heavy wetting toddler- what's the best booster?

Hello all
My DD (turns 2 this week) has been wearing Motherease one size nappies with the snap-in booster, but recently she has been wetting through these in an hour or two. I think she is starting to do monumental wees, but I don't think she is ready for potty training. Anyone have suggestions for boosters that can tide us over for a few more months? I can't afford to buy toddler-sized nappies at this point. The snap-in boosters are great but just don't do the job. Thanks...

watching with interest sorry no advice.My dd is just 2 and a heavy wetter. Leaks almost every night.In fact last few weeks she has been waking and bringing me a nappy and saying 'nappy hot'.
showing signs of potty training I think. Hopefully someone will come along with something

I hope so, it's awful isn't it! Mine is soaking through during the day- I hate to even admit that I have to use a disposable at night, but if I didn't she'd wake up swimming! Mine is showing signs of potty training too but I don't want to rush it... (new baby on the way and don't want any regression once baby arrives)x

Yes I am back to using disposables most nights, but think she seems to be leaking with these more. Someone suggested a ME airflow wrap over disp.
Congrats on new baby btw.
My ds is just 6 months and I was dreading her being ready at the time of his arrival.
He has just moved up to next size nappy, and is pinching her stash thats why she is often in disposables as I havnt got round to buying anymore yet.

She tells me when she has done a poo, and she says 'hot' when she has a wee and will wants the nappy off as sooon as it is slightly damp. Getting one back on in the day is a nightmare as she just shouts potty wee,potty wee. she sits on it, sits teddy on it, but not done anything yet. Not really sure what to do. Bought some pants but she wont have them on.
Someone linked to some cloth nappies called slinkys not sure if they are any good. Tempted to buy one and see.(think they are for this inbetween stage and only £5.99)

A lot of people have said to me wait till she is ready and it wont take long.

Most absorbent booster I've found is the Babeco bamboo night time pad. It says i's quick dry but it isn't, but WOW is it absorbent or what!!

I sometimes use microfibre cloths 4 in a pack from poundland - they could just go inbetween the nappy and wrap as an extra if not being used with a pocket nappy.
