Shut up mom of toddler who doesn't know what she's talking about.


Actually only 20 percent of five year olds and ten percent of six year olds are not night trained and there are many medical opinions that pull ups delay night training. Are you sure you are not just being lazy op?


Oh my god, you really ARE a clueless mom of toddler, aren't you? I'm not OP but I have a 6 year old who is an extremely heavy sleeper and wets the bed whether she is wearing a pull up or not. After 10 straight nights of waking up to a soaking wet, crying, cold child (who literally slept through peeing herself), we went back to Goodnites. So shut up you horrid shrew.

I am seconding, or thirding the advice to use the Target brand overnight pullups. They are cheaper and definitely look less sturdy, but they seem to be superior to the other brands. I also bought a pad off Amazon that is meant for adults with incontinence. We put that under the sheet. It has a soft cloth material on one side, but is waterproof on the other side. No crinkly plastic sound at all and you just wash and dry it like you would sheets.

Also, my 8 year old is still an every night bedwetter. Doctor is not concerned, so neither am I. Relatives on both sides wet the bed until 9 or 10 years of age. My older child wet the bed until age 6. My 8 year old has just recently starting to feel embarrassed about it, so we are going to try the bedwetting alarm.

thanks for any recs!!!


I have a girl the same age who was also leaking out of Good Nites and UnderJams. Sizing up worked - she is not even close to being in the weight range for the size small, but she was leaking out of the XS so we decided to size up to the S and she hasn't leaked out of them yet.

Also, crazy enough, the Target version of Good Nites look and feel really flimsy but can hold a lot.

Oh my god, the child is 5 not 10. It's perfectly normal for a 5 year old to still be wetting the bed.

Pull ups don’t work for my 4 year old DD. She still wears huggies night diapers size 6... they are kind of small at this point, but they are the only ones that work for her

They make pullups specifically for overnight use. Such as "goodnites" which OP mentioned in her post. Sheesh.

My son started soaking through his Good Nites as well. We’ve been using Sposie boosters for the last couple of nights and they seem to work well.

You can buy inserts that go in the pull ups. I think they are called boosters.

Have you tried taking him to the bathroom before you go to sleep? Around eleven or so just walk him to the bathroom when he’s still half asleep - my parents used to do this with my brother.
