Tena do some called Libero. They do a standard nappy or a pull up in largeish sizes. We had medium and then large. I think the medium was a size 7 so large might well be the right size for you. I could never find them on the website though and used to order on their phone line.

I rang my HV today and she is coming at the end of the week to order my DS3 free nappies. He is 5 next week and is still not coping with potty training. She is bringing samples with her. Hope this helps.

Have you tried the pull up version? I remember using the nappies size 7 and they were much smaller than the pull up pant which was called Libero Night Comfort and which came in medium and large. If you haven't tried these try the large one. My hv gave us the tena pant and it was massive and would have leeked all over. Eventually PCT agreed that there was a gap in what they could provide and allowed us to have the night comfort.

Tena do a few different types and strengths. I would second getting in touch with HV or ask at school/nursery for a referral to a continence nurse. DS3 has had some tena that are rubbish but now has the pull ups and they are great, he has the strongest ones so the do last well and are really comfy.
