Greater than one weekWe keep buying these underwear because its so hard to find training pants to fit my small 2-year old and so few companies make training pants in size 18 months (and none smaller from what Ive found). Theyre still a bit big on the little kid, though. Theyre just starting to not be baggy. Theyve held up well after a lot of washes and well keep using them until she grows out of them (which is unlikely since theyre still big).

> 3 dayI am currently potty training our oldest child using these underpants. They are thick enough to absorb small trickles or to prevent (or lessen) the impact of a major oops! I have found that, for our child, using pull ups underpants was not a solution as she seemed to recognize that she was still basically wearing a diaper and simply continued to wet on herself rather than going to the potty. Also, the pull ups (much like a diaper) are so efficient at absorbing and locking in liquid that they prevented her from feeling wet (a plus when training in my opinion because a little discomfort seems to help motivate her). With these, she can feel that she has wet herself and is uncomfortable, but they absorb a great deal of the mess and have saved my carpet many times already. Her pants do get wet, and we do have to change clothes if we have an accident. But, when she wears regular underpants and has an accident, the urine produces a much greater mess on her and on the floor or furniture. They are not as bulky as a diaper, fit well under clothing, and are easy for the child to remove and replace for potty trips. I would recommend giving these a try, at least as a transition between diaper and regular underpants. We have now moved to using a pull up at night or when traveling and that seems to work well. But, I believe these greatly helped us in making that jump from diapers to potty.

> 3 dayAt first I was skeptical about buying these because my daughter is barely 20 pounds at 20 months. Its hard to find training pants to fit a child her size for cheap. The 18 month size say the minimum weight is 24 pounds, but I thought Id give them a try anyways. Once I washed them they shrunk (since they are 100% cotton) and they fit her pretty well. Still some room to grow in the waist, but they fit the legs, which I think is the most important part. I would say my daughter has average sized legs, not skinny, but not chunky. They are very soft and Have an absorbent strip in the middle that works great to contain accidents. My daughter doesnt pee a whole lot at once, so I cant say how big of an accident they will contain. But I dont trust her yet to wear only this for bedtime or naptime. But they are amazing during the day. They were a great price as well. Overall we are very happy with them! And we are NOT buying another brand!

> 3 dayThese are really really long, so they slouch a lot and also show above all of my daughters waistbands. Its a shame, because theyre soft and she likes the patterns.

> 3 dayIve purchased 3 different kinds of training pants so far for my 3 year old daughter (Green Sprouts, Blueberry and the Gerber heavier duty ones with the plastic layer) and these are my favorites by far. The fabric is very soft and there is no plastic, so no rustling noises when she walks. The padding will catch a very small leak, but not a lot more. Id say they are really more for 2nd stage potty training, when your little one is not having accidents at home, but you still want something with a little extra padding down there, just in case. The only downside is some slight shrinkage when laundered, but they fit quite big to begin with so it just made them a little snugger. The color is a much brighter coral than it looks in the picture. The 3T fit my 30lb 38 tall daughter perfectly.

> 3 dayI wasnt actually looking for training pants but these are the smallest undies I could find for my 20lb 2 year old who is potty training. Pull ups did not work for either of my daughters, felt like a diaper to them. These training pants are great. Just enough padding to absorb enough of the pee so you dont have a huge mess to clean up. Dont expect them to absorb a bladder full though. 18mo size fit my daughter well with a little wiggle room.

Greater than one weekMy daughter is between 2T-3T and wears both sizes but these were pretty big. They didnt fall down and are wearable but they are large. Some other reviews said theirs shrank but mine did not. As far as absorbency I think the other reviews describe them perfectly. Theyre better than regular underwear but there will definitely be some leaks if your toddler has an accident. UPDATE: My daughter has been wearing these for a few years now and they’ve held up really well. I still think these run large. She’s 5 now and they still fit her. She’s slim, but these are not just a little big, they’re rather loose on her. She no longer wears them for their intended purpose since she’s potty trained, but they are extra underwear for laundry day. No sense in throwing them out if they still do the job!

> 3 dayNot just for potty training, my favorite panties in general! These panties are not flimsy. They are thick and well made. My 2 year old can put this on by herself! Sizing: I started potty training at 18 months and my child weighed about 21 lbs. I’m so glad Gerber makes the 18 month size because these were one of the few that fit her! Even at 25 lbs. I prefer these over the 2t sizing because it is more snug. The 2t-3t is still slightly big. Accidents: the absorbent, thick layers makes accidents so much easier to clean up. The first thing I think when she has an accident is-was she wearing Gerber training panties or regular underwater. With Gerber, she may have some tinkle going down her legs, but I’m not going to be see a large puddle on the floor. If anything, there will be a small puddle, less than the size of the palm of my hand, on the floor. This is so much better than regular underwear with zero absorbency. Regular underwear will leave her with completely soaked pants, puddle on the floor, and a footprint trail of pee. SAVE yourself the headache. Buy these and buy a few more. We don’t even use regular underwear. The cut: I love how this truly covers your child’s bottoms. I can’t stand how Walmart underwear is cut so thin in the private area. Little kids are always lifting up their dresses and jumping around. I want my child wearing panties that provide good coverage! These hug well on her thighs and are wide on the bottoms! Diapers/Training Pull ups- We have been very successful with potty training and I owe it to these training panties. My toddler did not seem to mind if her pull up was wet. She would carry on and not even notice at times. It did not work well for us. These panties make it VERY obvious if she wet her underwear. You will need to change it. There’s not walking around and continuing to play with these on. I find that it gives you the perfect balance between wetness but with minimal cleaning. She will even wear this at night and it quickly (within one night) she learned how to not pee on her bed! Thank you Gerber for making potty training a lot easier with this. The one thing I wish was available is a 12-18 months size as well!
