More info
'Shorties' have an extra large, absorbent, waterproof pad sewn in. It flips upwards for faster drying. With a flannel upper layer to the pad, your child will be able to feel wetness, encouraging them to wake. Shorties are not a nappy so won't contain wetness indefinitely if your child doesn't wake, but they significantly reduce cleanup. Ideal for the child who is showing signs of being ready to be dry at night.
If they are still filling a disposable nappy at night , check out our Pullups
The absorbency of these pants starts at 140 ml for size 1/2 and goes right up to 250ml for size 9/10. Note that any reusable product will be more bulky than disposable products. Please message us if you have more questions about the suitability of these for your child.

Night Training
Night training with Big Kids Shorties........
I used these with my own kids when in final stages of night training and found them great for giving the child time to wake up and get to the toilet, or for reducing cleanup or even just giving confidence. Wearing shorties instead of pullups or disposables made them feel more grown up. We used a brolly sheet as well during this stage.
If they're not quite ready for Shorties, our Pullups are a fully leakproof product that will replace a disposable overnight.

Great fit and design, My son was so excited to try these to get out of the stigma of wearing nappies at night (he is nearly 8yrs old). Unfortunately, he completely soaks though them, I think it is a bit early to use them, I will try again when he is getting more dry with nappies?? He is such a deep sleeper, I have tried getting him up in the night to the toilet, but I wonder if this is worth it as he doesn't remember doing this in the morning. I have tried limiting his water at dinner... ??
Any hints appreciated,
Thanks for your review. You're right - it sounds as though he's still at the stage where he's needing absorbency for big voids/multiple voids at night, so our Pullups would be the best product and match a disposable nappy in absorbency and leakproofness! The Shorties will come into their own once he's at the next stage of the night training journey. We've got some great info and links to help with this. I'll flick some through to your email box :)
Our son has been happily wearing these as a night time alternative to pull ups.
