Leaking Pull-ups

Hello,
My son is 3 and fully potty trained...except for overnights. He currently wears night time Pull Ups (Huggies Brand though I've also tried Pampers Easy Ups). In any case, I've had to change his bed every single morning of late because they are leaking. It's not even a huge amount as if he drank too much before bed. The pull ups aren't saturated...not even close...and they still leak through to his bed! Does anyone know if there is another/better product out there that can help keep him dry at night until he's holding it all night or waking up to go? (btw I also check to make sure he is "pointing in the right direction" after I've got the pull up on) Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

What can I do next?

I agree with the GoodNights. I loved them and they never leaked.

Another thing to do that will save you TONS of time and energy is to use a flat (not fitted) waterproof crib pad. Lay it OVER the sheets and it just lays flat. You can get them for under $10 at BRU or Target or Walmart. So if that gets wet, you can pull it off and wash it - no changing sheets.

Get the GoodNights, size small. They're fantastic! We had a lot of leak problems with other nighttime pull ups, but these hold a ton. Our kids are heavy sleepers and late to night train and they could fill these things up and not have a single leak.

Hi, I’m M. Francis from the GoodNites NiteLite Panel. Mamapedia is partnering with GoodNites so I wanted to provide a suggestion. Have you tried the new GoodNites underwear? They look a lot like regular underwear, are available in larger sizes, and are super-absorbent, which may make them a good choice for your son.

Let us know how things are going now, and be sure to check out GoodNites.com for more information on bedwetting. Good luck!

I'd personally continue to use diapers until you've gotten to when it's a rare occasion. Our son stayed in diapers (overnight) for the first few months after he potty-trained, and we felt comfortable he had that part down. I've just never been a huge fan of Pull-ups, though.

Good luck!

Put a maxi pad in the front?
Or get a few diaper doublers.

I stopped doing pull-ups at night. We switched back to diapers for bedtime. She doesn't care, they're cheaper, and no more leaks!

We used some cloth trainers for my 3 y/o while potty training. I was going to get the night trainers, but didn't need them (I was surprised he night trained so quickly), so I didn't buy them. But the night ones have a pocket to add extra absorbancy, but they're still like underwear so he won't feel like he's wearing a diaper. MUCH cheaper than constantly buying diapers or pull ups!!!! For night, you could just get 2. Plus, you could re-sell them or save them for another kid.
