What ever under pants you choose, the trick to leaking is to have the child wear a pair of normal underwear over the top of them. They don't need to fit super tight over the pull up, but it should be a fairly snug fit. That will hug the sleep pants closer to their body and stop the leaking. We learned long ago that he puts on his "pull up" and then puts underwear on top of that. No leaks. =D

My son just recently hit the 72 pound mark and we have had to switch to the Large size. They are working well, but thankfully we may be almost done with them now! After finding out through specialists that he has more then likely been constipated for years, he's had treatment and the bed wetting is almost completely stopped! Apparently, when the colon is full, it pushes on the bladder, causing bet wetting. If your child is older and still wetting at night, having accidents during the day, and/or pooping in their pants, please have the doc x-ray their tummy. They are probably totally full of stool and have been for a very long time! They have to have a total clean out, and then take Mirilax every day for 6 to 12 months! Mary Bridge Children's hospital has an entire dept. devoted to this problem, that our regular doctor had no idea about. He had been telling me for over a year that it was all a behavioral problem! All the info you need is at this web site:
[....]My little guy is autistic and at 4.5 he is still not ready to potty train. We have tried every single kind of pullup there is, and have had lots of failures, including one miserable one at Disneyland. Bigger little guys sure can hold a lot!! This is the only pullup that has never let me down, both during the day and overnight. Go for it.
Buy Pampers Underjams Diapers, Boys Now
I was pleasantly surprised to stumble across these on Amazon. With the Amazon Moms plus the regular subscriber features, I'm saving 30% off! If you have a son who still wets the bed, these are a great option. They work just as well (or perhaps even better) than Goodnites, but are much more affordable. It's nice to have the box arrive at home as well, so my son isn't embarrassed by my buying them at the store.We've used these with the Westop 3 alarm (bought on Amazon) too--and they work great. I also highly recommend the book, "Waking up Dry" by Dr. Bennett, on Amazon. It's written towards kids, and will definitely help both them and you. It also helped us to realize that it can take months to see results with an alarm, when we were expecting more immediate results.These don't leak. Even after a long night's sleep, kiddo comes out with dry pants just a super heavy diaper. I used to have to wash his sheets daily and line them with towels. This has lightened my laundry load significantly!Underjams are great for older kids who aren't quite ready to go all night dry. Also great for Moms and Dads who aren't ready to wash and change sheets every day and night. I remember my brothers struggling to stop wetting the bed and all the stress and shame it caused them. I believe some kids sleep deeper than others and it will take them longer to go all night dry. These are a great alternative to stressing out yourself and your child.
