AnnaM Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 We CD'd up until about 6 months ago when things got a bit crazy and disposables was a way I cut out some of that. I sold all of the dipes so am starting over, but now that he is potty training I can justify the cost of investing again! So my question is what are your favorite training dipes? Do you prefer the underwear type or is it easier to just get dipes? Favorite brands? Brands you had issues with? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasRachel Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 We used diapers until it was time to start with underwear just because DS was so resistant to PTing. I had some old fashioned Gerber pullup types that I used as well as a couple of Tinkle Time Trainers I made. I really liked those because they can unsnap, if you make them like that. I know they can be made with a pocket for adding extra absorbancy also. I would just do a search on hyenacart.com for trainers and pick something you like. Sorry for no direct links. But I didn't buy any from anyone specifically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 My (cloth diapered) kids all dropped diapers cold turkey when they started using the potty. The very notion of a trainer offended them. *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan C. Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Its been a very long time.... but neither of my dc would PT with disposable training pants (Pull-ups type). It pulls moisture away from them, then they never saw the need to go on their own, hey they were dry, and didn't have to bother going. That quickly changed when I changed to cloth trainers, especially when they really messed them... PT done instantly!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punchie Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I went the cheap route and got the thick Gerber undies and doubled them w/Dappi covers. The Gerbers are kind of junky as they have foam in the crotch instead of something absorbant, but I couldn't justify spending $15 on one pair of cloth training pants.

nikkibelle Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I prefer trainers that snap on the side. My favorite brand was Snap-EZ. They are much easier to take off after poo accidents but they don't absorb like dipes. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeneralMom Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 We just went to gerber thick underwear for at home. If we were going to be gone for a long time, I used the fuzzi bunz trainers, but I am not sure they make them anymore. Usually I just let them wander naked at home.

BarbecueMom Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 We just trained our cloth diapered 2yo last week. The first week, we used the Bummis (I think?) training pants for naps and outings, but he was treating them like a diaper and peeing in them every time. We bought them from the Cotton Babies store. They are pull-up underwear type with elastic waist and leg bands, but no snaps or anything. Fairly basic and plain. Ten days later, he's in regular underwear all day. He's still wearing diapers to bed, but if I can handle waking up before him in the morning, I'll switch him to the Bummis for nights.

AnnaM Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 We did undies for 2 days but most of the time he wanted nothing so went comando. I wont go without pants though. We did have 2 successful trips to the potty, though the weekend ended up being so we reverted back for a few days. I know, not a good idea. Anyways, I am actually thinking of waiting until I am done with my PT pre-k teaching job at the end of May before I push it again simply because I can't focus on them when I am having to take the 2 yo potty every few minutes.

SonshineLearner Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Antsy Pants... are a training pant, with all the holding of a diaper :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I just bought cotton undies that were easy for dds to pull up and down on their own. Today I would probably buy the heavier cotton pull-ups (not yet invented when I was potty training mine :D ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
