    Night nappy advice needed please

    Ok, if you had a chubby-thighed, pot-bellied, medium/heavy wetter, tummy sleeper, and you were going to give night nappies a go, what would you go for? Oh, and I can't use wool, and there's no nighttime changes.
    I'm especially worried about (aside from absorbency) the comfort factor around the legs.

    Help?!

    I am dying to try a snoozywuns!!!

    ATM I'm using Mandy Mac Purple Night Nappy, and they are really good, and not too exxy, only $30.... Kane has never wet through it and a cover and he is a HUGE wetter.....

    Arimeh - Well, I can't get a snoozywuns All sold out.

    PB -I did see the Mandy Mac and wondered if they were any good. I'm glad to know someone likes them.

    What kind of cover is best (also thinking comfort) and how do you go about sizing a cover to fit over a (I assume) bulky night nappy?

    Anyone else have favourites that just seem ever so comfy?

    I use a sandman and a mirabai NN. I use mine with longies/shorties almost all the time but I have used a BBH pul cover.

    I use wool at night - so shorties at the moment for both kids - she is still in a smaller sized one, he's in a medium that I brought ages ago so its probably not as tight as it once was! Still works well though.

    Oh - and about snoozywuns - she is restocking her store and a certain other store is about to get them in too

    I can't use wool on DD unfortunately. I guess I will have to go for a PUL cover of some sort? Are they the only two options?

    Do the snoozywuns, sandmans and mirabais all need covers?

    fleece is another option! All NNs need a cover... well, most do. Most readily available ones anyway.
    Because of all the boosting in most NNs, there is a tendency for leg-gape, rather than being constricting. I have a pretty chubby-thighed DS, and have still found that to be a problem, particularly with front-snapping nappies.

    Yeah fleece - go the fleece over the PUL

    Snoozywuns typicallly DON'T need a cover - but I always put shorties on just cos they are their PJ bottoms

    But they are advertised as NOT needing a cover.

    genesa forge so a super night nappy, has a ridiculous amount of layers and you don't need a cover for it as it's malden mills windpro on the outer.
    I've just ordered a couple, she will custom make them for you.
