Best overnight diapers
Your baby may begin to sleep through the night. It is time to switch to a thicker, absorbent diaper. Regular diapers can become too wet and leak during a long period of sleep. Superabsorbent overnight diapers keep your baby dry and comfortable, so they don’t wake up.
Reviewed and Approved
Huggies Nighttime Diapers are the best choice because of their superabsorbent material, leak protection design and high quality. We recommend Luvs Ultra-Leakguards Diapers for babies with small diapers.
Finding the perfect overnight diaper can be difficult. We considered cost, absorbency, fit and cost when analyzing overnight diapers. While all diapers should be leakproof and absorbent, overnight diapers are expected to hold more liquid over a longer period.
Fit is another important aspect. To prevent leakage, overnight diapers must fit comfortably. Overnight diapers are more expensive than regular diapers. These superabsorbent diapers should be used during naps and nighttime for extra protection. These features were considered when we reviewed the overnight diapers of top brands.
These are the top overnight diapers, based on our reviews.

Even toddlers who are already day-time potty trained and have been wearing underwear for a while can be difficult to transition to nighttime diapers. Bedtime underwear is the ideal solution. With the super stretch waistband and pull-on design, you can have the comfort and fit of underwear without the extra absorbency or leg barriers. This prevents leakage and keeps kids dry.
These cute printed patterns are available in sizes from Extra Small to Large. You can choose between Boys’ and Girls’ styles. The difference lies in the underwear patterns and the location of the extra absorbency pads, which allows them to soak up more water.
