Cloth Training Pants



Pull-ups - we all know and love these. It means that your child is ready to potty train and is one step closer to underwear. For many, it is a short lived stage in your child's life and they potty train quickly. For others... it's a very long stage in your child's toddler life... and a very expensive one at that. Even the smallest accident requires a change.

Cloth Training Pants are much like Pull-ups, but are made of cloth and are reusable. Because they are made of cloth, your child is able to feel that they are wet and, in most cases, train faster because the sensation of being wet is not pleasant for them. Many children prefer cloth training pants over disposables because they look and feel more like "big kid" underwear.

***2 1/2 year old and 30 lb. Penelope is pictured above wearing the Flip Potty Trainers on the smallest setting. We haven't begun to use these full-time yet as Penelope is definitely not ready to give up her diapers. However, we do try to put her in her trainers as much as possible when we are home and she does like them because they are very similar to her Bum Genius diapers.

These are the only trainers that I have had the privileged of trying with my daughter for myself... but below are other brands that I have found nothing but rave reviews for and hope to use with Penelope in the future...
I have used the Imse Vimse and the Blueberry trainers with children that I have nannied for in the past and have had excellent results. Both of those, however are more like training underwear - they do not absorb that much, if at all. They basically just keep your child's clothes dry if a small accident occurs. If your child is fussy about wanting to wear underwear and NOT diapers, these are perfect. They're also wonderful for children who are fully potty trained but still need something for the occasional night time accident.
