Trainer Pants

madmoys

Hi,
This is my first posting, hope I'm on the correct list.
My daughter has started to toilet train her two and a half
year old son and is using ordinary pants, as you can imagine
lot's of little accidents on the furniture and carpets.
I remeber using trainer pants on my two children (30 years ago :eek: )
they where toweling pants with a waterproof backing.
Does anyone out their know if you can still get
something like that?

Boots do these

When I looked a while back boots was the only place I could find that sold them. I changed my mind in the end though and just went with regular pants so I don't know what they're like to use.

These are pricey but look good: says they "will hold a full wee" which a lot don't do:

That's just what I'm looking for great :j

I've been googling all morning with no luck,
five minutes on here and get just what I'm after :rotfl:

Many thanks,
from a happy granny

If there are so many accidents it sounds like the child is not ready yet. I just waited till my son was nearly 3 and he is now completely toilet trained. I tried training pants but he felt they were nappies and weed in them. Best to just wait till they're ready.

I have to recommend the kushies ones - they're a bit odd, and you certainly wouldn't trust them for a bad day, but they'll hold a little accident if they don't quite tell you quick enough. We used them with my son for about six weeks before he too decided it was easier to pee in them than stop what he was doing and sit on the potty. Sold them on ebay, in the end (amazing what rubbish people buy!)

I waited until my daughter was about 2 and a half and it took her 2 days to learn it. I think those trainer pant things just hinder them and are really only any good if your going out somewhere.

I remember getting my DS washable trainer pants from Mothercare, this was about 7 years ago tho, but they might do them still.

The boots ones as mentioned above are fab - I am currently using them. I put them over his pants so he still feels he has his pants on. Another trick is to buy a portable potty - ideal for day trips I tend to leave mine in the car.

Thanks for all the suggestions,
I have sent for some of the Boots pants to try.
Things are looking good, he has made it to the
toilet in time all yesterday :T

I am currently potty training also, a company called bright bots make cloth training pants that have a built in nappy. They are great because they come in a variety of bright colours, can be washed at 60 and only cost £3.75 each.

I hope this helps

Kittykins have a range of training pants too http://www.kittykins.co.uk/cloth-nappies/type/13

We didn't use them with our daughter as the accident stage soon passed. Those bright bots look good though, they sound like they would feel very like normal pants to the child.
