I was in the same situation with my son, now 7 and a half. He wasn't dry at night till well past 6. I also used the Toddle-Ease for a long time and then they just didn't fit him anymore... I used the ME bedwetter pants and like them. My son also required a lot of absorbancy and I never had to put liners in them. Although I'm pretty sure you could if necessary.

They did work well, but because they're all one piece, they're not quite as leakproof as a seperate diaper & cover. They're fairly bulky and what I think was happening with my son was that his pjs were too tight with the bedwetter pants on and because they were just one piece it was easier for the pjs to kind of creep inside the pant. I got him a pair of fleece pj bottoms that were a couple sizes bigger and that did the trick, no more leaks at all, ever. I think the fact that they were looser helped prevent creeping inside the pant, plus the fact that they're fleece also helped because fleece doesn't absorb so it doesn't wick moisture.

I was also kind of mildly concerned about the wetting. His sister stopped when she turned 5, which is still fairly late but a good year sooner than he did. My ped told me the same thing... And it sort of ran in the family as his dad was a bedwetter too... For my son, one day he just asked if he could wear underwear to bed. I said yes but warned him that he'd probably wake up in the middle of night cause the bed was wet. He said that was ok. He didn't wet that night and not for the next two weeks. It's been almost 18 months and he's had maybe 5-6 'accidents', mostly if we don't remind him to go to the bathroom before bed. We'd tried a variety of methods to help him before, limiting fluids before bed and waking him before we went to bed. Nothing really helped much and waking him was often nothing but a frustrating battle (he's a very deep sleeper and didn't take well to being waken up, probably also contributed to how long it took him).

Something just clicked, not sure why or how but it just did and he was fine after that one night. For my daughter, it was different but just as sudden. I had a feeling that she was wetting only in the morning after waking so one day, shortly after her 5th birthday, I just told her we'd try wearing underwear to bed. She was fine with that and didn't have a single accident afterwards (it's been almost 5 years now, man where does the time go???!!!!).

HTH,
Karen.
