Alternative to Drynites?

Can anyone point me in the direction of an alternative to Huggies Drynites? DD has been trained over a year now but still isn’t dry at night. We have recently been using Drynites but find they are leaking a lot more frequently now and they are so expensive!

Ideally disposable rather than cloth!

Depending on how big she is have you tried regular nappies? It might be that the fit of the pull up is causing the leaks rather than it being full if that makes sense. Aldi and Tesco do a 7 now as well.

We switched to DryLife Super medium for our 13 year old. Drynites leak because the groin gap is ridiculously tiny. Our daughter leaked every single night with Drynites so we had to use the plastic sheet too, even on a long trip she wore one and it leaked, sitting upright and just 1 pee. About 50% of her flow leaked onto her clothes and the car seat.
I don’t know if the change in nappy from pull-up to tapes was the reason but she stopped wetting halfway through the last pack in a case.
I’ll put a photo up for size reference. Notice the difference in the groin gap? That’s the big problem with Drynites, especially when they near their teens.

Hi I know this a year old but having the same issue with ds who is nine. The drynites are useless, always leak so looking for alternatives. Does the drylife product you use require taping on (like a nappy), if so do they require you to put them on for her. Asking as considering using them for ds but think he will be very against using anything alike to a nappy

Do they ever end up being dry? Worried for my daughter.

There is a new XL 13+ size which has just come out which you should be able to find in supermarkets.

That should do the trick!

No they are pants like, like a pullup.
