I use them regularly. I get the softie kind from KINS products out of Canada. Sometimes I wear cloth diapers at night and they are a necessity in that situation, but years ago, I had to start wearing disposable diapers during the day and I found that the plastic pants add an extra sense of security. Now, I could never go without them. As far as them being too hot, on a hot summer night, I have rarely felt that, but most of the time, it’s not an issue for me. Hope this helps.
