Potty Training doesn’t just happen overnight. If it did for you, kudos. For the rest of us puttering our way through the chaos of teaching a tiny, but fiercely independent little person about how to pee here’s to the joys of conquering a dry night.
I’m of the mindset that this is a skill that comes with time and it can’t be forced or trained into a child. So if you’re tired of buying pull-ups at the exorbitant price of $30/case let’s switch it up with reusables. I warn you now, the marketplace for night time quality training pants isn’t cheap, but it’s less financial waste, and environmental waste?
This is just a list of options if you are looking for cloth bedwetting solutions for your young child. Check out the wide selection of reusable pull-ups that can be easily washed and laundered. Switch to a cloth pull up over a disposable is easy, and full reviews of some of these products are available elsewhere on the blog.
Reusable Options to Conquer Nighttime Bedwetting

Check out the Size 3 options at AppleCheeks, Thirsties and bumGenius or visit a brand like Snap-Ez that specialized in cloth diapers for adults.
Not all Bedwetting Products are the same.
A quick search on Amazon brings up many products using these key words. What I know is that textiles are expensive and if you need overnight absorbency, it’s unlikely to happen with a $3-10 product. You pay for the quality of the material, the customer service to get you there, and a product that works.

We are going through this right now! I was so sick of spending money on disposable pull ups so we switched to cloth. We started with the super undies but I didn’t love them. They are ok in my opinion and we use them, but I like the apple cheeks we got a lot better. The fit is better, less bulk, more comfortable and less leakage problems.
(I still have to write a blog post about it)!!
2 bedwetters ages 7 and 5. 2 toddler pre-folds pad-fold inside underwear with plastic pants on over everything. Very very few leaks and it is usually that underwear legs may have crept outside plastic pants. Have cloth diapered from the beginning and tried a lot of different things over the years and basically settled on the old cloth diaper plastic pants way.
When our daughter started puberty at around 12 and a half,she started bedwetting.I got her goodnites,and some other disposables,but she got rashes from them and said they itched her. I then got her the Gerber flat cloth diapers in the 24×27 inch size that come 10 to a package.I sewed the 10 diapers together to make one diaper out of them and got velcro to fasten it on her with.I then got three pair of adult size rubberpants that fit her blousy over the diaper.That first night,i fastened the diaper on her,then put a pair of the rubberpants on over it and she wore them to bed.After a week,there were no rashes and the 10 ply thick diaper was doing its job!She is now 14,going on 15 and still wetting and the cloth diapers and rubberpants are working for her.I got her several more cloth diapers and 3 dozen pairs of rubberpants,she is okay with wearing them!
