I've decided that now's the time to begin the potty training process. My 23-month old daughter is definitely showing signs of readiness, so we're going to give it a shot.
To get started, I went out and bought a package of the Gerber "stage B" training pants (they're the ones that are cloth inside and plastic outside). She wore them for the first time this morning and boy-oh-boy do they leak! YUCK! They seemed a little big around the leg openings, but they actually leaked up the back (at least it wasn't a messy diaper!) That's no fun!
So, before I try to find something else, I'd like everyone's suggestions. I definitely want cloth for the training process although she'll wear Pull-ups (or equivalent) at night.
Anyways, here are my questions:
1. Besides Gerber, are there any other store-bought brands of training pants that are little better in the leak department?
2. What about buying the Gerber "stage C" training pants which are cloth and then putting plastic covers over those? Are they any tighter around the leg?
3. What about ordering through a catalog? What brands are tried and true? They are generally more expensive, so I'd like a great recommendation before ordering.
4. Are the "kids" flushable wipes really any different than adult version flushable wipes, other than the fact that they have Sesame Street characters or what not on the container?
Thanks so much for your help! I always get such great advice here! :-)
