Pull ups.. cruisers.. how are they better?;

Well, Pull Ups are meant to be a something to use while potty training. Something similar to underwear, but will prevent messes on the floor if your child doesn’t make it to the bathroom. It’s to help them get used to pulling their pants down, feel like a big kid. And it’s easier to pull everything down rather than pull down/take off pants then take off the diaper. (Which might seem silly to an adult, but can make a world of difference to a small child.)
So thinking about them as just a different type of diaper or a “better” diaper isn’t entirely accurate. They’re meant to help with potty training, and to help prevent messes when a child wets the bed. Most people don’t think about putting diaper ointment on them.

thanks for taking the time to write this! It makes total sense that it'd help kids pull on and off when training as opposed to wearing it just because

I was confused because others are saying it's a game changer but their kids aren't going through potty training, they just wear it because it's easier for them not the kid lol I really appreciate hearing the purpose as you described!

Personally, I wouldn’t use them instead of a diaper on a child that isn’t potty training. They’re more expensive and I don’t find them easier to use. My older daughter is potty training and we tried PullUps, but they felt pointless since she wouldn’t tell us when she needed to go. But I suppose everyone does what is best for them.

I agree with you! They are harder so I thot I was missing something when others told me it was easier. I'm like huh. And they are more expensive

For myself I make sure there's barrier cream because my son's got rash (from daycare not at home) .. so I was wondering how ppl might've been applying it with pull ups. In the hospital a nurse showed me to use the diaper to dip into Vaseline or whatever and dab my son's butt which I find v easy and I continue to do. So anyway I thot I was missing something but you validated me lol thank u

No problem. lol.
