Looking for a Diaper That Does Not Leak

Hi all, I am looking for a diaper that does not leak when my son is sleeping. He is 2.7 years old, weighs about 31-32 lbs. We can't seem to find a diaper that doesn't leak and get the bed wet. It doesn't happen every night(even naps sometimes) but as we all know what a pain when it does!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?™

Wow, lots of responses and great advice. I have serveral new things to try. Looks like one of the easiest things to try is to make sure that his penis is pointed down in the diaper. That is something that is a great "need to know" thing for boys. Thank you so much to everyone!!

We use BumGenius diapers for my daughter. They are washable and never leak at night! I think you can even buy them at Target now!

I had this problem with my oldest daughter. I used Huggies. What size is he in? He may also need a size up. Sometimes we don't realize that we need to go up a size.

My SIL told us about Diaper Doublers for my oldest son and they worked like a charm! $2.99 for a 30 pack at Publix. Simply insert it into his diaper! It saved us!

"Huggies Overnites" I used them for both my kids and they were great. IF You still have a problem with leaking through try changing him in the middle of the night.
Good luck,

Huggies overnights used here....love'em!

If you don't have any luck with any of the suggestions, then I would try the "Good Nights" size small (35lbs to 65 lbs). They really are the best, I used them for our son who will be 5 next week and still has night time issues. I don't think I've ever had a leak. Oh, and I don't like the boxer/short style, I've had leaks with those. The regular pull up is what we use. Good luck!

Hello,
My son had the same problem, naps and overnight always lead to big leak problems. In the past, I had to use the plastic training pants (purchased at walmart) over diapers & pull-ups to try and control the problem. Now the only diaper & pull-ups we are able to use is Huggies Overnight diapers & Huggies Night time extra absorbency. And as long as I check him regularly he does not have any problems. Good luck with your little explorer!

pampers, my daughter is almost three.I have only occasionally had a problem with the pampers, rare occasion. not the pampers cruisers the other one..

Hi L.,
I was in the same boat. My daughter is 2.3 old and she was leaking. I tried the Huggies nighttime diapers. They are not the pull-ups. They work fantastic. My daughter drinks 3 sippy cups throughout the night and I have to change her by 6:30-7:00, but they never leak. Everything else we have tried leaks. The pull-ups never work when sleeping, even for naptime those leak. I have a hard time finding them at times. The best place to find them is Winn-Dixie. Hope they help. I know how frustrated it gets.

I have always sworn by Luvs for my boys!! Of all the diapers available, there is something about Luvs that is just the right fit for boys. My 2 1/2 year old is potty trained now but still wears the Nightime Pullups with the Toy Story characters (I think Huggies). FYI, I have bought him both the 2T-3T size and the 3T-4T size and the larger size leaked so I went back to the smaller size and haven't had any leaks! Good luck to you!
