Prefold style pin-on cloth diapers for bedwetting

Anybody else here use prefold style pin-on cloth diapers covered with plastic pants to manage their bedwetting? I use both the Euroflex plastic pants and the Leakmaster Deluxe 7 gauge plastic pants from Adultclothdiaper.com. I also wear gauze diapers with two gauze liners. From time to time I'll use disposable tape tab style diapers but find in general the cloth diapers and plastic pants do a better job of protecting the bed. Finally I have a Dry Defender pad covering my bed.
Yes, I also use prefold pin-on cloth diapers. My wife got them from Rearz or Baby Pants. My plastic panties, the pull on style, are from Baby Pants also but LeakMaster is where she gets my snap-on plastic pants. I like those because they’re buttery soft and not as hot as the plastic panties but she puts me in pull-on plastic panties at night because I’m a side sleeper. They don’t leak usually.
 
I hear/read so many positive experiences of people using/wearing cloth nappies especially at night but my experience has not been great. Ignoring all the washing hassle, I have tried cloth/terry nappies in the past - after all it was what I was in at night until I was 14! - but clearly have not got it right. I had some large(huge) square terry nappies and would fold them ‘kite style’ I think it was. I don’t remember where I got large nappy pins from and the plastic pants did not keep it all under wraps so to speak! I have no bladder control now and wear disposable adult nappies 24/7 but would like to try cloth again if I could get it right. So first stupid question - what is a pre-fold nappy? Next questions:
What is the best way to fold and fit a cloth nappy? Where do I get large nappy pins from? Where/who makes the best waterproof pants to fit over cloth nappies? I am in the UK.
Thanks
I think a pre fold nappy (also called a diaper) is premade with sewn in extra layers down the center. My mom used Curity brand flat diapers, several layers at a time with extra ones folded and placed down the center. As I got older she would put more and more extra ones in the middle. By the time I was a teen it was so thick I usually had to waddle when I walked. Silly looking but effective I guess. My wife still pins cloth diapers on me but they are the ones with extra layers sewn in down the middle. I think my extra big diaper pins came from Rearz. Look for the 3 inch ones. Little duckies on the head are cute snd look much like the smaller ones I had growing up.
