Munchkin is getting closer and closer to being potty trained. She doesn't like nappies very much and hates pull-ups but my attempt to put her in standard training pants ended in a puddle, partly because they weren't absorbent enough but mainly because they didn't fit snugly around the legs. There was no way I could put her straight into knickers, since she was doing half her wees and all her poos in nappies. I still felt cloth training pants were the answer, but I needed to find the right brand.
I didn't have much idea where to look. Luckily, Laura from Worthing Nappy Library came to my rescue. She very kindly contacted other nappy libraries to get recommendations for absorbent training pants. Two American brands, Super Undies and Bumgenius Flip, were recommended. Super Undies were out of stock everywhere, which was a shame because they were cheaper and more slimline. I therefore invested in some Bumgenius. These pants are adjustable so one size fits age 18 months to 4 years. They have removable inserts which can be changed if the child has only done a wee. I initially bought three pairs when they were on offer at The Nappy Lady. The offer price was £21.49, or thereabouts, for a pair of pants and three inserts. I wish I'd bought more since I've just paid the full price of £27.99 for additional pairs. I got the additional pairs from Lizzies Real Nappies because they had a better range of designs, in my opinion. There seems to be a market for second-hand real nappies so I'm hoping to recoup some of my money when she moves on from these pants.
