The next sizes up tend to be small adult ones and as a lot of you would have experienced the elastic can be a little loose on the side. This means whilst they have the coverage and absorbency they can still have leaks as they move too much. To get around this I bought some cheap boy leg underpants that I pull up over them (as demonstrated in the pictures of my childhood teddy). Everything sits in place and no leaks. Plus he gets to wear underpants just like any other boy his age.

Dealing with Loose Pull-Ups
Owen wears pull-ups. I used to love the Nappy Pants that Huggies made as they had velcro at the side. Which made them easy to check and you could use them like a "nappy" if you really needed to. But alas, he grew out of them and into Huggies and Baby Love night time Nappies. They worked a treat for a while but then he got bigger. Now they no longer have the bottom coverage he needs and aren't quite as absorbent as he needs. This led to lots of leaky nappies and changes of clothes.
