Washable Night Pants for Bed Wetting

Nighttime potty training is not something you do; it is something that happens to you. Waiting on it to happen can be lengthy, and up until now it seemed that disposable pants were the only option.

Finally, reliable pants for nighttime wear that you can toss in the washing machine in the morning. No more countless packages of disposable pants filling your trashcan and the landfills. Buy two or more pairs of Nikky pants and your little one will be set. Nikky makes a popular brand of cloth diapers and now has a product for bigger kids.

The pants come in four sizes and range in price from $21-$25 dollars depending on the size and quantity you order. The sizes are for increments of ten pounds with the smallest fitting 25-35 pounds and the largest fitting 55-65 pounds. Each pant will hold about a cup of urine and diaper doublers, also available through the catalog, will help with heavy wetting.

When you consider how many pairs to order, consider a pair for naptime and nighttime. Think about how often you do laundry and the time it will take each pair to dry. The pants can be dried on low heat or hung to air dry; because of their thickness they may take several hours to all day to dry out, depending on your climate. Soiled pants can be soaked in a mild solution while waiting to go into the wash. Specific washing instructions must be followed to insure that the pants retain their waterproof quality. These detailed instructions are included in the package, but are not complicated and do not require separate washings. Nikky pants can be washed in cold water with mild detergent and other laundry items.

Only a couple online sights carry this Japanese made product. My favorite is babyworks.com located in Portland Oregon. Their free catalog details all their earth friendly and baby friendly products and includes a coupon you can use to order the pants. They can be reached by phone at 503-224-4696.

When putting Nikky pants on your child for the first time, it can be a little confusing as to what is the front and back of the pants. The tag goes on the outside in the front, and it can be cut off if it is in the way. The pants are a little bulky, but they do not make a rustling paper noise that can be embarrassing for an older child. The come in white and look like real underwear. The pants can also be worn for absorbing daytime potty accidents. My daughter and her cousins love their Nikky pants and are excited when they stay dry!
