Training Underwear

Walmart sells training underwear for a lot less than you are looking at. I bought all of mine at a yard sale for 25 cents a pair, used them for two kids and sold them for 25 cents a pair when we were done.

Umm.. Walmart used to carry them. I mean, not designer undies, but thick cotton training pants. Who cares how "nice" they are... your daughter is going to pee and poop in them at least once. And you may find yourself throwing a pair or two away in a public bathroom at some point in the process as well. I wouldn't spend a ton of money on them. It isn't worth it.

Both my kids wore those thick cotton training underpants. And I got them at Walmart.

Walmart and Target sell the cheaper ones, I think they are Gerber and those work well. The quality is fine, but they only go up to a 4t, so if that is too small, then you might have to find something else. My daughter was too big for them, so we bought the Potty Patty pants, and they are like cloth diapers where they have the leak proof outside so that the messes aren't so messy. She really liked them, but really she only wore them a handful of times because being naked was so much easier for potty training. Good luck!

I bought a 3 pack of the thick cotton training underpants at target for maybe 5-6 bucks.

Just go to target and get a few packs of their cheap trainers. I think they are gerber.

Target and Walmart both sell Gerber training pants. They are thicker, layered cotton but best to use at home. But better then regular underwear. Cost about 7 by me.

The only place I found real training underwear was at Walmart in the baby / toddler section with all the toddler underwear and socks. They didn't have a lot of selection but way cheaper. I even found the plastic covers.

Pull ups to me are not a good training tool .

The Gerber ones are great. DS potty trained right after he turned 2. (he's 9 now, so it was a long time ago... so forgive me that it isn't fresh in my mind) and that's what he wore during the day. They were soft and comfortable and easy for him to manage. He happily continued wearing those until he outgrew them actually, so they are fine as underwear even after the potty training stage is over.

Be aware that they don't absorb much, they just keep those tiny little drips from getting through to their clothes while they are trying to get to the toilet, and they are a thicker more familiar feel for younger kids.

Keep a diaper on until peeing in your clothes is no longer okay. You don't want to teach her that these are for peeing in as well. (But you know that, I'm sure... that's why you don't want Pull Ups).

I know you said you don't want pull ups but with the cost of washing and drying training panties and cleaning up their leaks from your furniture and floors and washing additional laundry and shoes and socks and stuff pull ups are much much less expensive than cloth alternatives.

So saving money could mean pull ups are the better buy. If you really want to use cotton then think about the mess and frustration with all the following them around with sanitizing stuff to clean up the pee and pooh.

Babies R Us has them. 2 prs like 5.00 or maybe 6. Just bought them

I found going cold turkey at the age of 3was the cheapest and easiest. That was just my experience and I do know others that regret trying training underwear during the days, but there are others that liked that gradual training. Good luck

First, I do have to say that we used the Hannas and I loved those things. (We bought them at a local outlet store, so the price was about half of what you are looking at.) They never wore out and were soft and super-absorbent, so long as the 'leaks' were small. If they wet themselves, they wet themselves, know what I mean?

You could do the Gerber training pants and likely be fine. Like I said, wet is wet. Some families I worked for would double them up. The biggest trick with helping a child learn to use the toilet is US letting them get wet so they realize they don't like it and will usually work toward staying dry. :)

Gerber makes training underwear that is all cotton and is thicker in crotch area. You should be able to find them at Target, Wal-Mart, K-Mart or any other store like that for much less then $70.

You get what you pay for in this training pants department.

We are in the middle of potty training. I was given some Gerber training panties from a friend, and they are SO-SO; my child doesn't like wearing them under her jeans. What good is that? Wanting to keep her clean and motivated, I ordered from Amazon Prime a few pairs of Kushies taffeta training pants. At $10.50+ per pair, they are high quality materials, comfy and came in patterns that were gender specific and gender neutral. Soft and extra absorbent crotch. They wash and wear well. While I wish the accidents came fewer and far between, these do stop the mess from getting on clothing.
