Default Older kids, what to use?

My Sons are all autistic, so we have had to use nappies for longer as they take lkonger to TT. My 10 year olod still is not night trained, and my 5 year old is not TT at all. I have found that making ones for my 5yo was the better option with Wee Wuns Sww being the best cover...but what to use for my 10yo? I have forked out so much money on dri nites its just stupid. and Disability support is just willing to offer voucher for more dry nites
not really what I was after...

Not sure but have you checked with you Doctor to make sure it isn't something else.

how much does he weigh? As its easy to suggest brands but weight varies so much they may not fit.

btw don't beat yourself up about him not being night trained. According to our sedu the average age for a lower function autistic to tt is 8 and i believe thats day trained completely.

I was just on the Pookey Pocket site, they have a fitted pocket, you could stuff it with as much stuff as you need, then plus it's a fitted so that itself will absorb, and with a cover, might just work!

Heavy Wetter Good Night Sleep Tight's by Bubblebubs are unbelievable. Especially the bamboo ones. The website challenges bubs to outwet their heavy wetter version and Ronan (3 yo) never has yet. Previously we were going through 2 very heavily boosted BBBs every night (or 2-3 disposables).
Good luck!
