Does anyone know of any that exist? My 4 year old still wets the bed, I've gotten tired of spending money on pull-ups, so I just put a waterproof mattress pad under him at night. I've tried the "Dri-Nites Bedwetter Pants", I believe they're called. They were sure wonderful sounding but they leaked horribly. At least I was able to send them back. Anyone been in a similar boat and have any recommendations?

How about a wool soaker cover over the training pants? He'll still be wet but at least not soaked.
Or how about one of these:

These go up to toddler size and are only $15.
These could go over training pants too.
good luck

I would suggest a wool soaker over the training pants. Aristocrats are good for this.

I would suggest wool as well. But, if he wets a large amt, then you will need something more than training pants underneath. A wool soaker is only as good as the diaper under it. My dd wears a fitted and wool at night, but is in underwear during the day. If he wets a large amt you could try sewing a soaker pad in the training pants for extra absorbency.

We use a toddler sized Chinese prefolds with a newborn diaper as a doubler, pinning. With an Extra large Dappi Nylon Cover. I have super heavy wetters at night and they don't night train until 4 or 5.  This is not a pull-up, though, so really, I'm no help at all  .

MotherEase makes a bed wetter pants... I bought two pair for my ds. They did as well or maybe better then Pull-ups but were really poofy under his pjs, and I had to wash a pair every day. Also- he developed an allergy to them, so we had to go back to pull-ups. Still, he'd still be wearing them if they didn't give him a rash. He liked them and didn't mind the poofy look.

I've been thinking about getting my 4yo daughter a couple Happy Heiny's Pocket Trainers for overnight. I keep looking at them here Shipping is free.
I tested a one-size pocket diaper from this lady and have considered one of her bedwetter pull ups because the quality of her diapers is awesome. They're a little more expensive, but I think shipping is included in the price of the item.

That's neat that you mentioned the Happy Heiny's pocket trainers. I just found out about them a couple days ago myself. I was told that the most absorbent yet cost effective way would be to use a Chinese prefold and wrap it around a Thirsties microfiber insert and stuff those into the pocket trainer. I'd like to find a supplier in Canada, but so far no such luck.
I'm also going to get some Imse Vimse waterproof training pants for training my 20 month old. They seem like they're easy to put on and off, and they're not poofy.

I just found a source that lists many Canadian retailers, should any other Canadian on this board be interested:
http://happyheinys.com/search_result.php?country=2&IDState=0 &IDProduct=0&retailer_name=&Submit=Search
If someone's interested in the Happy Heiny's Pocket Trainers, I found them to be cheapest at "Diaper Diva/Raised in Reusables". There weren't too many suppliers who carried the Trainers.
