Post subject: | Night time and plastic pants advice! |
Hi everyone, I'm having a bit of a problem at night! I seem to be wetting very heavily during the night at the minute, and although I'm wearing plastic pants, I still seem to have trouble. The issue is, the women in my family have big thighs ![]() On a side note, I am thinking about re-purposing a couple of old towels for tonight, with the hope that cloth nappies being bulkier it will make the plastic pants I've got a tighter fit. Any ideas on what *layers* I should use as a heavy night wetter? I have a mixture of towels I could cut up... Thanks! Cheryl |

Cheryl, Cloth is excellent for night time. As far as how thick...that is like everything else, a personal thing. Each of us have different needs. Go as thick as you can and then adjust from there. You never have too much protection, only too little. If you find that cloth diapers/nappies work for you, and they should, it will be cheaper and you will never run out of diapers, you are always just a wash and dry from protection. It is always trial and error so keep trying till you are comfortable.Papa |

Hi Cheryl I too had a similar problem what I now do is wear the Molicare Super Diaper then Terry pull on Pants (extra absorbency) then Plastic Pants and finally lycra/stretch type cycling/netball shorts to keep the plastic pants and the diaper snug. So far I have not had any problems mind you I only have issues when going to sleep or in the first stages of awaking and during the day. Hope this helps Greenbank. |

I have found out that highback/extended waist is a good solution. It gives a longer area to catch up with what comes out on the top of the diaper. I wear cloth over disposables at night. My cloth diapers are made from old towels and worn out flannel bedlinen. On really bad days, I also add a doubler on the outside, between the cloth and the disposable. PUL covers are also easier to adjust than plastic. I hope this was a little helpful. |
