My son is outgrowing the size 7 Pampers, and is constantly wetting through them. Just wondering of anyone can recommend a brand to try. Thanks:)!

Members offered practical suggestions for a parent whose preschooler was outgrowing size 7 diapers and experiencing frequent leaks, with the most recommended options being Goodnites underwear, Pampers Easy Ups, Huggies brand diapers, and even adult Depends pull-ups in small sizes for better absorbency. Several members shared helpful tips including trying pull-ups stage 6, doubling up diapers for extra protection, and sometimes going back down a size if leg holes are too loose and causing leaks despite meeting the weight requirement. A recurring theme was the community's mutual understanding of the challenge of finding absorbent, well-fitting diapers for older toddlers who are not yet ready for potty training.

My 5 yr old wears easy up trainers by pampers. They hold a lot, he likes to hold it and let it all out at once or he will wet himself and not let us check him, when he is asked he always says no if he is busy playing.

I don't know if this will help but once I had to go back down a size in diapers. They had hit the minimum weight for the next size but not surpassed the maximum weight for the smaller size. You know how a size 5 will say something like 30 - 40 lbs but the size 6 will say 35+ lbs? Hope that makes sense. Anyway I got bigger size and they were fine for a while but then they started peeing out of them. They had a small growth spurt and had thinned out a bit. I guess the leg holes got too big for them so I put them back in the smaller size and no more problems. I know it seems counterintuitive but do you have any leftovers of the smaller size? Might be worth a try...

My son has been using Goodnites for a couple years. He is now 48lbs and we've never had problems with the pull-ups. They were a nice way to help potty train as well since it got him into the pattern of pullup on/off to use the toilet.

Goodnites underwear are also great! S/M (38 to 65 lbs) Good Luck! :)
