I have been holding off posting to this thread as I don’t usually post on the bedwetting threads for one reason or another but decided to chime in here.

I too have 3 kids. All boys. We have potty trained them all the same including night training. The older 2 were out of diapers and dry at night by 3. My youngest who is 7 still wets every night, and has his entire life. We have done no diapers and lifting at night, setting alarms, double and triple voiding before bed, no liquid after a certain time, you name it. I think some kids are just different. As for a 7 year old fitting in a diaper I guess it just depends on the kid but most 7 year olds I’m around are like my son and skinny as a toothpick. My son still fits in a diaper easily. And yes goodnites are just like a bigger pull-up and a pull-up is just like a diaper that pulls on. The difference is goodnites are more expensive than pull-ups, and pull-ups are more expensive than diapers. Also diapers seem to hold more. Or maybe they just fit better. We have tried both goodnites and regular pull-ups which leaked a lot. Maybe it depends on how you approach the situation but my son doesn’t mind diapers at all. He’s not embarrassed in the least to wear them. He is a very confident kid though. Maybe some kids would be different. I’m just glad mines not. [/quote]

NP,  haven't had the chance to read through the thread yet, but I wanted to add on to this.

My kid is SN, has sensory sensitivities and is on the spectrum. He'll be 6 in August. We only just got him potty trained in the day last year, but he's still in diapers at nighttime and likely will be for the forseable future.

We still use diapers (Curity size 7) because of the aforementioned sensory issues. They're covered by our insurance, but are otherwise no different than the major store brands.

My son is the spectrum, so obviously embarrassment isn't a major factor when it comes to him still wearing diapers to bed. But what I will say is we've NEVER found a pullup that can hold up to the amount of pee he produces at night, compared to a diaper.

For a bit of reference, we had to escape a house fire last year, early in the morning before DS was potty trained. We scooped DS into the car and weren't able to change him out of his (already wet) nighttime diaper until almost noon that day, because of everything that was going on. Zero leaks during that time, even though his diaper was like a balloon once we were finally able to change him. There's no way on earth a pull up could have done that. [/quote]
