OK, I am sooo very tired of buying goodnights! So I am on the search for a good pair of cloth pull ons! I have tried a couple times to make them myself, but the materials necessary make it not worth the value. I have seen many brands, but not sure which is best. Thank you for your help!

Thansk again! I did more searching and everyone in the diapering community recommened Mother-ease. They are not cheap ($33 each), but I bought 2 for my son. I also bought 2 Nikky Nighttime training pants for my daughter. I tried one of hers on my son and he did leak through so I got the Mother-ease ones. I must say after 5 days of both of them wearing them they are working great! I am thrilled! I only bought 2 each, but that will work out without having to do laundry too frequently. I think 3 each would have been best, but I had to stick to my budget. Plus now I save that $45 I have been spending each month on pull-s and good nights disposables, not to mention the reduction in my garbage! Hooray!
Thanks to everyone for their advice!
You might want to look into the Potty Scotty http://www.pottyscotty.com/ and Potty Patty http://www.pottypatty.com/ products. I have the cloth training pants for my little one and they are very absorbant.
The only pull ups I have used were called Pull ups nightime. They worked ok! I finally stopped letting my son have anythink to drink after 7 except for water and I made him us the bathroom before he went to bed. He still has will have an accident everyonce in a while. Good Luck!!!!
I'd like to know the answer to this too.
I would love to find one as well. Let me know if you get any good advice.
I bought snap-eze pull ups when my ds was past the diaper stage, but still needed something. They are the only cloth pullup I've tried, but I really liked them. They are well made, and it was nice that my ds could pull them down on his own.
One thing to know- the one's I had, the pee wicks onto the top elastic. For this reason, they are great for a "just in case" pull up, but not so great if you KNOW they will get pee'd in.
You could email Ruth (the owner of the company) and ask if all types do it, or if there's a way to stop it from happening. She very nice, and quite helpful. I'm sure she'd be happy to help.
Here's the site http://www.snap-ez.com/InfoTrainers.html
Yes, I believe Motherease makes a good one. At any rate, you'll want to look for an All-in One (or AIO for short) that is pretty thick. I've also used pre-folds with a cloth doubler, and with a cover, my son does not soak through...good luck! There are lots of benefits to cloth diapering...cost is one of the reasons I do it, too!!
Hi! Go to www.diaperpin.com or www.diaperswappers.com and post there, you will get lots of advice and you can probably find a used one or two to try out and see if you like them.
I don't use cloth pull-ons, but use cloth diapers for my 2 yr old at night and have occasionally put them on my 5 yr old. son for bedtime. We just call them pull-ups so he doesn't feel like a baby. You could go on-line and look at the brands and see if they have a pull- up or training pant in your child's size. Two brands that I like are Happy Heiny and Fuzzi Bunz. I just use size XL in the Fuzzzi Bunz brand for my 5 yr old who is 44 lbs. Hope this helps.

I hate this when I show my age...but, I had my kids before there were Pullups. I used plain ol' training pants. If I was concerned about a "heavy" night I used 2 pair. I always called them "big boy" pants when the time came to start using them and had no problem. When I needed the extra a little story as to why always did the trick especially since my son was the main character.
As for a brand, I don't recall there being a specific brand, maybe Carter or something like that. Somebody who makes general layette items. I always felt the crotch area for thickness and read the label to see if it was made out of cotton.
