Why parents love Shorties
Shorties give your child the chance to practice being dry while cutting down the mess (and stress). They aren’t a nappy - which means they won’t hold unlimited wetness - but they do reduce cleanup and give kids time to wake and make it to the toilet.
-
Flannel-topped pad: lets your child feel wetness, encouraging them to recognise the urge and wake up
-
Generous absorbency: from 140ml to 250ml depending on size
-
Confidence boost: wearing Shorties instead of a disposable nappy, helps kids feel like “big kids”
💡 If your child is still filling a disposable nappy at night, check out our Pullups instead — they’re fully leakproof and can replace a disposable overnight.

Night Training with Shorties
I used these with my own kids in the final stages of night training and found them brilliant for:
-
Giving enough time to wake and reach the toilet
-
Cutting down the middle-of-the-night cleanup
-
Helping kids feel proud and “grown up” compared to wearing disposables
Pair them with a Brolly Sheet for extra peace of mind.
If your child isn’t quite ready for Shorties, our Pullups offer a fully leakproof overnight option.
Great product and even better service. Delivery was super fast and the amount of communication regarding my order has been brilliant. My daughter is so proud to be wearing her big girl sleepy pants now and absolutely loves them!
I bought three and they fit very oddly. The top of his buttocks shows because they’re really bulky it pulls the band down. We have persevered with them, we are lucky most nights he is dry but when he did wee in the night, he wet right through. Lucky we had a Brolly sheet on the bed. I wouldn’t buy again.
Hi Hannah, thanks for your review. The Shorties are definitely too small if his bottom is sticking out. This will also mean they're not working to maximum capacity. We offer free custom fitting and can help with product choice too. We have more absorbent products if he's outwetting these. We've reached out to you and I believe have resolved this problem for you by upsizing. ( Your review was written before you touched base) . Do get in touch if the upsized pair aren't working well!
Big Kids Pants suited both my kids who wet at night. They are super comfy and don’t feel or look like a nappy. Only comment I would make is for my kids the sizing was on the larger size. But there is room for growth.
