Night nappies for a very heavy wetting larger size child (6-7)

How did you go yael?

Hi Yael,

I can understand why you want to go cloth, having to buy nappies or pj pants etc. up until 7+ will be very expensive. We are in a similar situation. I had my daughters custom made by one of the WHAMs on Facebook (Kushy Tushy) for about $22 each and I just boost them with one of the thick inserts from Issy Bear. I believe PeaPods make ones similar that go up to 15 years.

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the responses. I think I am going to go with sewing my own, as I am currently doing sewing classes anyway, so my teacher will help me, and I will make a few up in calico to get the sizing right. I figure I will make around 6, possibly more, so that would be at least $130 if I buy them, and I can probably make them cheaper.

I might buy one in the meantime, to see how it goes, an also I can unpick it and use it as a base for a pattern.

Otherwise are there good patterns out there for larger size nappies? I am happy to pay for a pattern, but I can hardly see it being listed on Vouge (after the horrible morning I have had I need to make at least a lame joke!)

Where can I get instructions about different materials to make them, where to buy material (can you buy online, otherwise Darn Cheap Fabric is 5 mins away, but their stock varies a lot), etc. I will try and google them, but I am so busy at the moment that even researching for a few hours is more than I can

Yeddi - where do you get Issy Bear inserts from? and Peapods? I will google around a bit. Where do I measure my DS to work out what size he needs?

You should find them by googling. If not, PM me and I'll send you the links.
