ok, i'm going to ask some really odd advice for a chicky with a four month old! but i'll ask anyway!

i need to know what sites have reasonably priced "night nickers" that would fit a five year old. my bro's DD still has accidents maybe once a fortnight - she goes into such a deep deep sleep - so they've been putting her in the disposable ones - and even Aldi brand are exxy (and getting too small for her) - so i mentioned to my bro about the reusable ones. his wife washes daily, so they'd maybe need two sets - buy once, and then no more expense. so, recommend some for me. she's not a big girl, but not tiny either - probably a standard size five for most of her clothes - haven't asked what size she's in for day underwear though
- happy pocket trainers (at darlingsdownunder)
- bumwear pocket trainers (at brindabellababy)
- simple simon pocket trainers (at twinsincloth)
- starbunz learners aio/pocket style (at darlings and also mother's instinct, nz site)
- noonee wilga night pockets (noonee wilga)
- daddledoo pocket trainers (her shop at the wahmnaps site)
all of these have stay dry inners
all of these need to be stuffed with an insert, some come WITH the insert like the daddledoo, most don't. so then you would need to buy a few bamboo trifolds as well.
the style of these, is for the adult to use the snaps, to INITIALLY do up the product, to size, on the child. and then for the child to pull the product up and down, like knickers, when wearing them.
I'd say the starbunz is the trimmest, most like knickers, out of all of those. (and comes in very pretty colours too).
At that age (5), i'd get the child to help pick out which colour she wants.

go by weight and rise, not clothing size
ask seller for advice on which size for buy before you buy it
if you're really unsure, get two pair sent (same postage cost)
it's cheaper to return one, (twice postage)
than return one and pay again for the right size to be sent. (thrice postage)


aio style
blueberry trainers (ozbaby trends, nurture nappies, the weewuns, baby blossom)
this has a feel wet inner, so child is aware when they wet. it is a true "pullup" style, more like knickers. i know a person who bought two for her five year old boy, that is his night time option. but every child wets differently.

ai2 style
genesa forge nappy knickers (at genesa forge)

due to their cost (same as buying a nappy) i would suggest you buy ONE of them, buy another if you are happy with it and it fits the bill in every way.

unseen by me, but i have heard of Peapods putting out a cloth trainer recently, i think it's only available on the peapod site.

the motherease bedwetter pants are very exxy, but get good reviews, haven't tried those. i suspect you can buy those thru motherease stockists, e.g nuture nappies.

there is no silver bullet
you have to try them and see what suits the child


but putting a brollysheet on the bed sure did help make light work of 3am accidents! Conni sheets gets a good rep too.

hth brigsy.
