I'm getting ready to purchase some more cloth diapers and covers for the baby, and I am in need of something a little boy (just 4) can pull up and wear at night. I see some options on all the diapering sites, but I would appreciate some recommendations, especially since some of them look like they are only intended to catch trickles on the way to the potty...I'm looking for something to catch a bit more than that as ds sleeps like a log.

We use overnight undies, by mother of eden.com. that is what the tag reads, not certain but I think we bought them from Nickys diapers, anyways, they are great for big kids (much older than 4).

I just use undies with a diaper doubler or prefold in them!
I did that before we cloth diapered (we've been actual cloth diapering for, um, 2 days. LOL)

Fruit of the Loom toddler underwear run big, BTW.

My boys have not been dry at night until age 6 or 7 and we've used both Motherease bedwetter pants and Happy Heiny's pocket trainers stuffed with a prefold or two.

Both will hold ALOT - more than a disposable pullup - but they are poufy and look more like diapers than undies (my kids don't care, but some are sensitive about that).

The Motherease don't have a stay-dry liner and there is also a seam up each side which irriated one of my kids, but they are extremely durable and easy to use.

The Happy Heiny's/prefolds have the fleece inside and they wash and dry quickly, but they are a little bit hard to stuff and unstuff. Also, pay attention to the sizing recommendations on them - they are different (much bigger) than Happy Heiny's diapers.

I've decided on Happy Heiny's pocket trainers stuffed with a prefold. I think ds would be indignant if I tried to stuff a prefold in his daytime undies!

At least in the pocket trainer its not quite so obvious its a diaper.

Thanks everyone, for the help!
