    Posted: 29 Jun 2012 at 8:36am
My sis called last night and said she was tired of buying pullups for my 2.5 yr old niece who is day trained but still wets at night. She said she still fills up a sposie or pullup, but doesn't leak out of one. She's not interested in cloth diapers in general, so I don't think she'd want my extra large flats to use on her DD at night.

So, I suggested either ME bedwetter pants which would be easier since it is AIO or the toddle-ease that can be stuffed with a L prefold and she can use my extra XL MEAFs. But, I don't know how the two compare absorbancy wise other than the abosrbancies listed on the ME site.

Or, would 2 large prefolds padfolded in a Capri work? The easier the better, but the bedwetter pants are pretty expensive.

I think Liz uses them on her older ones, so maybe she'll chime in. The price has always scared me away. LOL 

Do you already have the prefold and capri combo that she could borrow to see if it'd work? I have a 2.5 year old and the toddle-ease fits him fine with room for a doubler even. If she's not a heavy wetter I'd bet that'd work. (I haven't tried it overnight myself.) Your niece probably wouldn't be able to pull either of those options up and down herself though, if that's an important factor.

I do have the prefolds and covers she could use to see if they work before spending that much. I am seeing her tonight, so I will let her give it a shot :) Thanks Julie!

I never tried the bed wetter pants but i did try 2 pre folds in a capri. Way too bulky and the kid was not comfortable. Though i dont know about the me toddler ease, i should look into these options more myself because s is pl'ing very soon. Just wondering, wouldn't a pull on trainer do the job?

I just got the bedwetter pants for DS1. He is 36 lbs and in a size small. They are almost loose in the waist. I wouldn't think a 2.5 year old would fit into the smallest size. But then again, my 4.5 year old is pretty petite. I really like it though. It seems to hold a lot. But it does take quite a while to dry. I also have the toddle-ease, but those will need a cover. I like those too:)

Not usually.   When they go in their sleep, it's a lot more than the typical day accident when they don't quite make it to the potty on time but they've gone throughout the day w/ Mom's urging.

We used the bedwetter pants for a little while with Z and while he never had a leak, we found them really silly looking IDK how someone coming from sposies would feel about them. They're crazy bulky and many of his PJs didn't fit over them. They totally do the job but that's just my 2 cents.

We have used both ME bedwetter pants and Nikky Nighttime Pants http://babyworks.com/potty-training/training-pants/nikky-all-night-pants-for-big-kids.html  and are super happy with both.  Currently using them with a 3 year old and 4 year old.  The MEs are bulkier, more expensive, and take longer to dry, but I think they also may be a bit more absorbent too.  The Nikkys, while not trim, are definitely trimmer than the MEs and a tad easier for little ones to pull up and down - one of my daughters is a pretty heavy wetter and we put a doubler inside the Nikkys just to be safe!  I would recommend either brand!

Thanks for all the input. I tested out the 2 PFs in the Capri and it was way too thick. I almost want to tell her just to buy more sposies because she'll freak out when she sees how weird the ME pants look, LOL. She is super skinny, I wonder if the MEs will even fit. I'll look into the Nikky, thanks so much for the suggestion titushome!

My SIL uses ME bedwetters with her 4 y/o and loves them, but they are bulky. Her little guy actually sings a song about his nighttime pants, lol! They hold a ton but I think a Toddlerease with a hemp doubler holds as much. That's what I use on Izzy at night with a Disana soaker but a Bummis super whisper pant would do as well for a cd newbie. Pull ups are so expensive for how little they hold! She'd definitely save a lot in the long run and it might even help her lo night train ;)

Rebecca, do you think the XS size will fit a barely 30lb 2.5 yr old? She's super skinny.

I think it would be OK as long as you had snugish jammies over it. I actually have 2 that I got for my nephew but they were too small for him at 38 pound. If you're interested shoot me a message :)

We had the best luck using the Snap-EZ stuffable trainers stuffed with GMD prefolds and a MF towel or doubler on top of the pf.  My son either got terrible red marks or leaked in everything else.  And these washed up beautifully to keep ammonia at bay.

I used BW and they worked great, never a leak or stink problems. ODS ended up on the high weight of the smalls so they got too snug and I sold them. They are puffy, but no more than some of the other night options out there

Now he wears a Toddler Side Snapping Tinkle Trap under a fleece pull on cover. It does not hold as much as a BW but he was to the point that he was not as wet as he once was.

The BW hold more than the TE and the TE needs a cover. If you want an AIO the BW do work great though. I did like the option of picking a cover because I prefer fleece and wool for over night (but that is just a personal preference)
