Maybe use the small size of the adult Depends?

My husband works at a factory that makes diapers and he suggested trying Goodnights. They are made for older children.

Hi There, I agree with the previous poster. The Goodnites are for bigger children and should fit your child. Is your child eligible for state medical benefits? If you have a medical card then it will pay for your diapers. Check into it, it could save you a bunch of money and you could order diapers to fit your child through a medical supply company.

Hope this helps,
Glory

Actually, I believe the OP must be using Goodnights now, because Pull-Ups only go up to about 40 pounds or there abouts. I believe the Goodnights go up to 125#, and he states these aren't working any longer.
