I've recently found an another great use for the "Flour Sack Towels" mentioned above. This could be of interest to some of our members, especially those that, like me, have infrequent or unpredictable night wetting and/or have to take out of town trips. I first fold the towel in half, and then in thirds, and place the resulting pad inside my nighttime pull-up diaper. Over that I'll add my PUL pants for added security, especially if I'm away from home at a friends place or at a hotel. I've found that the pad will absorb 95% (or often 100%) of a wetting with little to none getting to my pull-up. This combo works great because not only has it completely eliminated leaks, even for a side sleeper like me, but it also allows me to use the toilet normally when I do wake up having to urinate. An added bonus is that the towels are inexpensive ($1 ea.) so if need be they can simply be rolled up, put in a plastic bag and tossed in the trash. I suppose this would also work for those with regular night wetting but of course they would need to be laundered. Since they are quite a bit smaller than a regular cloth diaper they may not have the capacity needed for heavy or multiple wetters so that could be another consideration. I hope this may help others here and I would like to hear of your experience if you try this idea.
