Default Good night nappy for 2yr old?

Up until now we've used a bbh bamboo with a trifold booster and wool soaker over the top and it's worked fine. The last week however it is simply not enough, I had to change my son at 11pm last night because he the nappy was completely saturated (the smell attracted me), there was nothing left to absorb another drop. This morning he was soaked again and the wee had come out of the top and soaked his pj pants.

I think it's time to get a couple of dedicated night nappies. What are good for this age? He is about 15-16kg. I've been looking but they seem so expensive, I'm not sure I can afford $100 for two nappies, are there any cheaper but just as good brands? Or should I just be boosting what I'm already using a lot more?

I've been looking at Buyforbaby but it's confusing, it seems a L isn't as big as a large in a day nappy and only a few brands make bigger night nappies.

some of the other nappies make an XL
Wild child dreamy time plus might fit depending on your child's shape.
VB do an XL VBSN
Pookey pockets do a L and XL fitted pocket as do Bits for Bots that you could stuff within an inch of their lives.

I hope I'm allowed to post links. What about this one? Lou-Lou Nappies Modern Cloth Nappies, AIO's, Made with Hemp and Bamboo - Large Green Night Nappy - Panda Flannelette

I don't have any of this brand and I'm not sure that's enough layers but it does fit up to 18kg.

Sorry not to sure - I have never owned one.
It really depends on your child's build more than weight. My little man is only 13kg, but his build means he needs a XL night nappy (as well as his pee ability). I would go off of the measurements and then the weight range

whizz kids and sandmans are lovely night nappies. i use these on ds2 (3yo) without any issues. also wool soaker i recommend a 12 ply for a heavier wetter.

Whizz kids you may find harder to obtain i havent seen tracee stock for a bit but shes on here so youmay be able to see if she has any that havent been stocked yet or can do one for you

sandmans are aailable from a couple of places
sustainablehempproducts=
Nappy Chappies - Sandman :: Baby Blossom


VBSN are also a great nappy i have a bamboo one and i love it.
The WeeWuns


and i have recently discovered a SNAIO which is a really great nappy (off to find the link) its an aio withhidden pul some people dont like them with pul but i have no problem.

Try buy for baby, I am sure an extra large night nappy will come up sometime, or put a post in wanted forum.

I use VBSN hemp L on my 12 kg 2 year old. She is on the tightest snaps and they are great. She was going through a major wetting phase when I bought them, even leaking through sposies at night.

Cant think what brand they are but there are some fitted pocket night nappies, these might be cheaper if you use stuffers you already have?

I would prefer a bamboo night nappy though as the hemp gets stinky. There is soooo much fabric in them that they have to be that expensive.
