They’re just asking for nappy options or recommendations. It’s not rocket science. If you have nothing to offer them, just move on by. Some times people are desperate for help.
If you’re in the uk, get onto Bladder and Bowels. They can often supply you with nappies appropriate for your child’s needs. If you’re looking for something in the meantime, Aldi do a pull up style nappy, although it says 3-7? Maybes 3-8 years (I’m not exactly sure which one), my little brother and sister who are 7 (quite skinny) and 6 (quite chunky) can fit into them with no problems and it’s holding wee a lot longer than normal dry-nites.
dry-nites are no good as they’re supposed to get wet, so the child can feel hat they’re wet and will feel uncomfortable (a way of kind of forcing toilet training so they don’t feel the discomfort of wet pants/nappies). Definitely give Bladder and Bowel a go or you main health professionals can refer you in too.

Apologies for my bluntness, but I notice that you have posted links to this elsewhere in the forums. If people aren't responding, then it's likely to be because you haven't provided enough information for them to understand the issue you require help with, or because the issue is one that they lack knowledge of and therefore cannot help with.
If you're seeking advice, it can sometimes take time to receive a response.
