Pull Ups vs Goodnights

[icedcoffee]

DS is 3.5 and daytime potty trained and wearing underwear.

At school he wears a pull up for nap.  These

At home he wears a diaper for weekend nap and bedtime.  These  The reason for this is because pull ups hold like half a pee and he would leak through it every night and nap.  He also likes to sometimes take his morning shit while sitting in bed.    I'm not interested in ideas to reduce liquids before bed or take him to the bathroom as a dream pee. He's a champion 12-13 hour sleeper and I trust he won't go to college this way (if we can ever leave our house again lol).

Pull ups would be a bit easier though because sometimes right before bed he says he needs to pee so then we need to take the diaper off and on again and BLAH.  Do "Goodnights" hold a lot?  Or are they like pull ups in that they're only meant to hold 1 "accident".  I'm looking at something like these.  (If you can't tell I really like Target's Up&Up brand for diapering).  I'll need to order another box soon, but if these suck as much as pull ups do then we'll just stick with diapers as he's only in a size 6 and they sell a size 7 too so we have lots of time.

Goodnites definitely hold more than Pull-ups.

ETA: It seems like they for sure hold more than one pee, but I guess that depends on how much he pees. My 5-y-o is just transitioning out of Goodnites and while they were often wet, sometimes they were VERY full and sometimes they actually leaked.

Look into diaper doublers!

Thanks!  I think we'll give them a try.  His diaper probably leaks once every 2 weeks or so at this point, but it sometimes weighs like 15 lbs.  haha

I love target brand too but I spend the extra $ on the good nites brand.

Goodnights hold a lot of pee. We tried the Target ones and they leaked for us. IIRC, they also smelled like pee (like the room would smell like pee).

Goodnites and a sposie for my DS (will turn 4 next month). I tried pull ups and cleaned a pee soaked bed every day until I asked on here. I was told about sposies and goodnites. Don't be me.
FWIW, goodnites and sposies are on my subscribe and save. I get goodnites monthly (22 in a package) and sposies every 3 months (90 in a package).

Goodnites yes. When we moved from diapers to Goodnites was when we went from Up & Up brand to name brand (Goodnites). Can't go cheap here, unfortunately.

Goodnights hold more pee than Pull Ups. My 3.5 year old twins use the nighttime pull-ups without issues, but I also limit liquids in the evenings. One of them started leaking through overnight size 6 diapers a while ago, but hasn’t had issues with the 4T/5T night time pull-ups. DS1 wore Goodnights until he was 5 and was a heavy bedtime wetter without them leaking, but the Target brand ones leaked and didn’t fit as well. I stuck with Goodnights or UnderJams.

We used pull-ups + Sposies until DD got too big for them, and now we use Goodnites + Sposies. The Sposies have been crucial.

Good nights are better than pull ups but in my opinion Super Undies are the best.

We've done well with Pampers Easy Ups for DD (4) who still wears them overnight and pees a lot in them.

It's easier to stomach name brand diaper prices when it's only 2/day (nap & overnight). I buy Up & Up diapers for DS. So much cheaper.

[bugandbibs]

I really like the Pampers underjams too for bigger kids. I get them from Amazon on subscribe and save.

Good nights hold more pee for sure. However I’ve had 2 kids that still peed at night at aged 7 and still got in pull-ups (size 4-5) and don’t leak. They are cheaper.

Pull ups leaked for us about half the time at night. Lots of sheet washing in the morning. I can count the number of goodnight leaks on one hand

This thread is so timely as we all just woke up to a wet bed this morning - again.

Do goodnights hold as much as a diaper? I feel like our overnight diapers are getting a bit small but C is a huge overnight pee-er.

My daughter used to leak out of her size 6 overnight diaper. She doesn’t leak from her goodnites. They hold quite a lot

If the goodnites turn out to not be enough you can use a sposie too.
