Potty training with pull ups

Has anyone successfully potty trained a 2 nearly 3 year old boy with pull ups before going to pants, as I hate the idea of potty training without pants especially when my living room is carpet

πŸ‘‹β˜Ί Hi Emma! Here's the tricky thing about pull-ups. Its basically still a diaper. So a child feels like they can do their "business" as usual in it.
A pull-up feels absorbent just like the snug comfy diapers/nappies your little cutie is used to peeing & pooping in since birth and never had to think about it, they can pee freely at any time.
Heres a helpful video about the confusion caused by using pull-ups

So technically it's not really changing anything or progressing forward with toilet training as far as the toddler can tell or "feel". So potty training hasn't technically started as far as your child knows.

πŸ‘‹β˜Ί Honestly it can take some toddlers more time getting used to pooping in a seated position (...and lots of practice) before they eventually become comfortable pooping on a potty or toilet rather than pooping in their familiar standing or squatting posture.

We did the 3 day method with underpants and our lil dude did great. He regressed a bit in the weeks after and I put him in pull ups for my own sanity. I don't call them pull ups or diapers, I still call them his underpants. He does great with wee but we are still working on the #2s.
