Nappies for older children

Hi girls, Can anyone help me. My six year old who has severe special needs require nappies. However he has outgrown size 6 normal nappies and the incontinence service will only provide us with Attends nappies that do not fit, leak and cause him nappy rash. Does anyone know of other brands we can try? Really looking for a larger size normal nappy. Help!

Libero size 7/junior+ (depending on the batch, it seems) fit my tall 6 year old. They're much, much bigger than pampers 6 and a little bigger than huggies 6 (the 6 in their plain superdry nappies is much more generously sized than the more expensive ones with the shaped legs, as we found out when we ran out and had to buy some, recently!)

Thanks for this. I have contacted the company and they are sending a pack to me. Here's hoping. :)

Hope they fit. I'm not looking forward to when DS1 grows out of them.

Our ds has just outgrown libero size 7, but have found good alternative called Libero night comfort medium or large. Although community nurse had never heard of them they are available from the continence service.

I'd asked about them and ours doesn't offer them. It's straight onto the nasty leaky pull up jobbies, the smallest of which would fit me.
