3and3 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I have twin boys (3yo) who I have been desperately need to potty trained. I used cloth diapers when they were babies but have switched to disposable pull ups thinking it would not take that long and they would be in undies. Well it's a year later and they are still not trained. I have tried just making them stay in undies all day and not putting them in pull ups till bed, but I have to clean up from accidents at least 6 times (3 times each boy) a day. Not to mention whatever piece of furniture or floor they happen to get wet too.(this is exhausting) If I put a pull up on them then they just never use the bathroom. So I was thinking of getting something that can be washed but does not leak to put on them so I do not have to spend so much money! I still have prefolds but not sure if the covers still fit. Or maybe I should get some type of all in one so they can pull them up and down themselves? Any ideas? The twins will be 4 in March so I would really like to have them at least potty trained during the day KWIM Accidents at night do not concern me as much.

fairfarmhand Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I;ve used the thick heavy training pants with a plastic diaper cover over top of that. Not perfect, but better than a pull up or plain old underwear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katnorman Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Grovia has a pullup cloth training pant. I haven't used these, but I do use their diaper shells. The only thing is it might be pretty expensive putting 2 kiddos in these :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3and3 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Where do you find thick training uderwear? Everywhere I go they only have reg underwear or they want $10 for 3 pairs which is crazy when you can get 10pk undies for $7 KWIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everywhere I go they only have reg underwear or they want $10 for 3 pairs which is crazy when you can get 10pk undies for $7 KWIM I REALLY had trouble finding them too. I don't know why. Gerber makes them, but they are hard to find. I had success in the clearance bin in walmart, others found them at target. I would call around to different stores. I had so much trouble that sometimes my son wore the pink flowered ones that his older sisters had worn. Poor kid. I had bleached them so much that the flowers were faded, but still.... For the heavy training pants, I think I paid like 7-8 dollars for a three pack. Yes it was crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I found some cloth training pants online for my oldest, who was training during this time of the year (thus indoors). My favorites were Imse Vimse which have a waterproof layer sewed between two layers of cloth. Very cute and comfy. They usually did not leak as in puddles, but I had to be aware of when they were wet so I could change them before the pee seeped onto the outer part of the pants. Mostly I just made sure she got onto the potty often enough that she didn't have a lot of accidents. With my youngest, we did the three-day method outdoors in the summer, using ordinary cloth trainers that leaked. Her accidents were way, way down after day 1 (and she was 17mo and peed frequently). You may not have the luxury of trying this (though some folks just keep them in the uncarpeted/unupholstered areas until they are reliable).

Embassy Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Imse Vimse Training Pants are like thick underwear with a layer of waterproof material inside. Pants may get wet depending on your child, but you shouldn't have to clean furniture or the floor. You can find them at ThanksMama.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
