I was always a little in awe, or maybe it was a little jealous, of the moms who told stories of their potty trained 18 month old. As a cloth diaper blogger, I admittedly didn’t rush the process. I didn’t really use cloth trainers during the day. But I can tell you that I have ALWAYS heard how AMAZING Super Undies trainers are. They are the first ones I recommend because of that. And now I’ve also tried them and I totally still agree.
I’m not gonna lie. I have high expectations. I don’t want to be changing sheets at 3 am on any sort of a regular basis. I want something well made that is built to last.
Super Undies fit the bill and then some.
I received a Super Undies in exchange for this review. However, all statements and opinions are honest and true.
Super Undies are made in the USA. Which I always love. The workmanship and materials used are incredible. First look shows me soft materials at the legs. That happens to be water resistant fleece which adds another level of wetness protection. The outside is made of a fully waterproof material. The inner that touches baby is a poly-Lycra blend, the same sort of stuff that is found in leggings.
There are two separate soakers. One sewn in the same way it would be in an All in One. The second is attached at one end. It can either be fed all the way through the pocket to provide more wetness protection for girls or folding in the front to work better for boys.
The one downfall of the inserts for me is that they are microfiber. They are certainly absorbent enough. I’m just more of a bamboo or hemp fan as natural fibers are often easier to wash and can be trimmer than microfiber.
I was sent a Size 1, the smallest size of Super Undies Bedwetting Pants/Nighttime Undies available. According to the size chart it should fit the kids that are wearing 3t in clothes. Sophia is right into 3t’s. She is tall at about 38″ but thin at just under 35 pounds. I found these to still seem a little bit big on her. That didn’t exactly lend itself to being trim. If Sophia were a little bigger I think the size would be great though. We just aren’t quite there yet.
It is also my understanding that the daytime version of Super Undies 2.0 is designed to be easier for the child to pull up and down. But the nighttime undies were pretty impossible for Sophia to pull up on her own. She is 3.5 for a point of reference. That is ok though, because she isn’t getting out of bed to go pee at night anyway yet. But it might be something you want to think about if your child is.
Another thing that I LOVE about this company is that they also filling a niche for special needs children and adults. They work great for older kids and Super Undies even has a line of adult cloth.
One of the only pitfalls of the nighttime undies may be the cost. They currently retail at $32.95. I can tell you that if you can afford these and it fits your needs…they are worth the price.

Help Where do i get night undies like this?! If you prefer hemp which ones do you recommend? Should i try these. I have a 5 year old in 4t clothes and she wets every night. been day trained since about 3 but we are wanting to get some cloth pull ups bc she just isn’t able to stay dry at night. I should have bought these two years ago! ug. we even cloth diapered. But i didn’t think it would be this long.

When people ask me about night undies I tell them to get Super Undies, it is the best brand I’ve seen to date, https://www.superundies.com/night-trainers-and-bedwetting/

This looks like something that my sister could use with her kids.

They look like such great quality and durable but I figure we are a long way from potty training!

We purchased SuperUndies for our 8 yr. old Type 1 Diabetic. (In diabetes, it is often a challenge to keep blood sugar levels close to normal. When BG is high for long periods of time, the body tries to get rid of the surplus sugars through urination and the person feels sick.) The nighttime undies caught EVERYTHING! Our kiddo also started to wake up and head to the bathroom when needed after a couple of months. Yeah!
I did detach the soaker after several weeks. It was just too much for our needs.

I have one pair of these. They fit a little funky on my three year old girl, but I haven’t tried to adjust it. Thankfully, she potty trained a couple of weeks ago and has been completely dry every night since! I’m so happy about that. I was putting pull-ups on her at nigh, but I was worried about the cost so I tried the Super Undies and even though we haven’t used anything over her normal daytime panties the past couple of nights, I’m going to hang on to the Super Undies for travel just in case. I love the color of the one you got, btw. Very cute.
And since you mentioned larger sizes, I think I’m going to look into that too since we have another older child in the house who still wets at night. clean up isn’t a huge deal since he’s old enough to wash his own laundry, but it might be something to consider when we travel.
Thanks for the review. :)

I love these. Even though they are expensive, you don’t need that many. One pair costs a tad more than a box of overnight pants here, but if your child is peeing in them every single night, they are more than worth the price. I got a pair for my almost 7 yr old who was wetting the bed every single night and had no issues with leaks. I also have four pairs for my 3 yr old. I’ve had leaks maybe once or twice as she is still a heavy wetter at night, but fully trained during the day. These sure beat buying disposable pants for months on end, or in my case, years. I wish I would have known about these sooner. I could have saved a ton of money in the longrun.

I’ve been using the cotton version for my 3 year old for a few months now. I bought a size 2, because he will be 4 next month and wears a 4T (mainly for length). He’s around 32lbs and I didn’t think they would be as big as they are, but they are huge! On the first wash just to prep them the sewn in soaker detached a little on one side. I was not happy about that since they are so pricey. I was getting leaks quite frequently so I added a hemp insert, but that doesn’t help. My guess is that the fit just isn’t right, but I can’t bring myself to spend the money on a smaller size that he will probably not need in the near future. Thankfully for about a month now he’s been accident free 6 out 7 nights. I also bought fleece pull-on covers to contain the leak if he does have an accident.

I would absolutely contact the company and tell them what happened to the soaker. It shouldn’t be falling apart like that.
