Switched back to pull-ups

Hello, I've switched back into pull-ups for my bedwetting as they're cheaper than drynites, fit better, and are still absorbent enough to handle large wees and poos.

The question I want to ask is if they're discreet with smell at all?

Hi Lasn

Take a look at this web site, good range of reusable nappies, fun colors and patterns you might like also they will save you $$ in the long run.

My boy loves them, there very comfortable absorbent and contain poo very well as they have double leg gussets.

My lad withholds his poo and tends to push most of it out during the night and these nappies hold everything in till I get to him for his morning change.

If you don't mind washing nappies then I would recommend them.

Thank you, I will take these into consideration. Do they cover up the smell of poo as well, or at least better than disposables? I tend to have large poos in my nappies and I just want to smell as decent as I can for as long as I can.

Cloth nappies do tend to hide the smell of poo a lot better than disposables.

I do from time to time when changing my boy during the day thought he was just wet only to found a poo squished in it and looked to have been there some time.

However if the nappy is left unchanged for a lengthy period of time eg overnight the poo mixes with the wee and you get ammonia build up inside the nappy and this can cause nappy rash.

Its important to cover the skin with a good barrier cream to avoid any rash etc.

As I have mentioned my DS mostly poo's at night so I always make sure his skin is protected as he can be in his night time nappies for 12 + hours.

What pullups are you using?

Sophie wanted pullups again for wearing during the day, she wouldn't wear drynites because they aren't pink anymore, so she picked purple always discreet pants instead but there really expensive, a bit big for her and they leak if she has to pee in them.

Not what you're looking for?
