My son is seven years old and I am a single father. My father passed away on May 14 22. My son was incredibly close to my dad his grandfather and they used to do all kinds of things together. Now my son has started wetting. It does not matter if it is during the day or if it is at night or if we are out at a restaurant or if we are out at the mall it just happened. He doesn't have any problems with bowl control. I have had him to the doctors and everything else checked out OK. He does have ADHD and he is on medication for that which he is taking 20 mg of Adderall daily. He is a really good sweet kid down to earth understands completely and does not want to upset other people. So I was thinking about sticking him in either pampers cruisers size 7 or luvs  diapers size 7. I was also considering pampers baby dry size 8 tab style nappies. We used to use good nights under jams and all sorts of pull-ups they always leave gonna snow matter what so why would I want to spend my money to only clean out more and be more frustrated. So I was gonna have him send summer is coming up I was gonna have him wear diapers full time until we can get back into the better shape of things until he can calm down and relax a little bit more.

My son is eight years old and he weighs 48 pounds and is super thin athletic build I am just trying to figure out what would fit him I would rather have him back in baby diapers for the time being just war with the situation is

It sounds like he has outgrown the new Goodnites xs size. His weight is within the Small to medium range, it would seem.

If that doesn’t work you could try the small to medium size Ninjamas. They currently tend to run smaller than the Goodnites and may work in your situation. If these are unavailable you could try Pampers Easy Ups size 5T-6T (which are similar in size to the small to medium Ninjamas, but may be difficult to find). Also, like the Goodnites the Ninjamas and Easy Ups (at least sort of) look like underwear so he can feel as grown-up as possible in this situation. The Ninjamas have designs in more of a “big kid” style, so you will probably want to buy those if they are available.

As a last resort, if even this does not work he could wear almost any size 6 or size 7 diaper and wear underwear on top so the diaper will not be noticeable if the underwear is big enough to hide it effectively.

By the way, in the event of leaks colored underwear typically doesn’t stain as noticeably as white. This is relevant because diapers may leak if the underwear is too tight.

I would say that since your kid is a thin kid that he should easily be able into a size 7 diaper and likely even size 6 diapers.

My 7 year old nephew wears a size 7 Gentle Steps diaper for bed wetting and he fits just fine.

He has also worn a Luvs size 6 and Pampers Baby Dry size 6 and fit just fine in those as well.

When his parents could find them easily in stores he could fit into a Pampers Cruisers size 6 and Pampers Cruisers size 7 as those do actually run a bit large.

I would agree that diapers are a good thing for your incontinent child and diapers should be nothing to be ashamed about.

There's no age limit for wearing diapers and wearing a diaper is much better than wet pants.

Size 7 baby diapers should easily fit most 7 year old boys.

Although it depends on the 7 year old's weight and waist size but for an average size and average weight 7 year old they should be able to fit into a size 7 diaper.

Although if the 7 year old is overweight or weighs more than normal or is built bigger then they likely won't fit.

In that case if the size 7 diapers won't fit the 7 year old boy you can buy youth diapers online.

My 7 year old nephew though is skinny and he can fit into a size 7 diaper just fine.

My nephew is a bed wetter and wears the size 7 diapers for bed wetting.

He was wearing pull ups such as Goodnites and they would leak on him.

So his parents bought him size 7 diapers which are the Gentle Steps size 7 diapers and they fit him perfectly.

He can even fit into a size 6 Pampers and size 6 Luvs diaper.

I know too that the size 7 Gentle Steps diapers run large and even Pampers Cruisers size 7 run a bit larger than Gentle Steps size 7 diapers.

But if your 7 year old is too big for the size 7 diapers then you can cheaply buy tape on youth disposable diapers such as Attends Youth Diapers that will fit your 7 year old just fine.
