What do you do with dry pull ups? Throw in garbage or reuse?

My 3yo has been waking up dry. Is it gross to put the same pull up on for the following night?

I throw it out because it gets sweaty

Id throw them out for the same reason I don’t keep reusing my underwear if it doesn’t get wet

I celebrate that they're dry and throw out. They shouldn't be punished for keeping it clean. Lol kidding, but really I wouldn't want to put on a pair of underwear again if I didn't get to wash it. If you do end up reusing, for sure limit to just 1 more time (and see if it provides less coverage when used a second time- not worth it if there is leakage).

My toddler wets maybe once in 6 weeks. But sleeps in a diaper every night because every time I decide to remove the diaper for the night, he wets at night....
I never reuse. It's like underwear.

Another vote for don’t reuse if it’s been on their tush. If money is tight and they’re waking up dry most of the time, you can put it outside the underwear to protect the bed, but not straight on their skin so it stays clean.

Maybe I'm weird but I reused for one more night. I always put it on after a bath. Everyone else wears the same underwear for 24 hours so why throw out a pull up that was worn for 12? Underwear is free to change, pulls ups cost a lot.

It's not the norm to me. I change at night only so would have no problem with what the OP said unless it got sweaty. If it seems unchanged from when I put it on the cihild, I would save it for the next night.

Please don't reuse. I know it's tempting but not wet doesn't equal clean.

Ok, everyone in my family. We all put on clean underwear once a day after shower or bath.

Same here. I thought that was the norm too.

We use it when we go out during the potty training stage. That way they don't want to pee in their pants but it's not the end of the world if they do.
