Pull ups for a 4 year old (night)

Can anyone recommend a pull up for a 4 year old that actually works please. We have tried sooo many different brands and still waking up to leaks.

My son always goes to the toilet before bed and only has a drink with dinner around 1-1.5 hours before bedtime so limiting fluids further isn't really an option especially as he regularly suffers with constipation.

Am I missing a trick with them?

Which have you tried? We use Aldi pull ups for our small 6 year old. They go up to a size 7 I think. Never had a leak or a problem.

Thanks for your reply @whoami24601
We've tried Huggies pull ups, dry nites, pampers, Tesco & Sainsbury's own and a brand off Amazon but can't recall the name.

Aldi is one I haven't tried though. Do you use the normal ones or the premium? Will head there next week to pick some up.

I know that some children fit certain brands better than others but I would've thought out of all the ones we tried one of them would've worked 🤦🏼‍♀️

Just the normal ones in the red packet

Just wanted to say we gad the same issue amd stuck to proper nappies at night for this reason. During the night the stomach becomes flatter and pull ups then more likely to leak especially if you have a front sleeper

You could try using a Kylie sheet on the bed too?

We used pull-ups for a while, but actually ended up going back to proper nappies during the pandemic for our almost 5 year old.

They leak far less, and (although he'd hate me for repeating this on the internet..) DS has told us the nappies are more comfortable for him to wear at night (we use the Tescos own brand nappies in size 6+). He'd complain about the elastic sides of pull-ups being 'itchy' but has been completely fine with the larger sized tabbed nappies.
