Nappy pants

My little girl is 1 tomorrow and we're still using normal nappies. Is it worth moving to nappy pants even though we're hoping to potty train this summer?

Wouldn’t they help as you can pull them up and down like pull ups?

@Charlotte when we're potty training we'll be moving to potty training pants. I'm just trying to work out if it's worth making the change or not

I see. Sorry I didn’t realise there were much difference as they still pull up and down. First time mum so excuse the lack of knowledge on this. I personally love nappy pants. And even if you buy one pack they’ll be used by the summer.

I use cloth nappies that don’t pull up and down, I’m on my third baby and it’s never been a huge issue. I eventually take the nappy off standing and then put a clean one on lying down. I potty train around 1-1.5 so it’s not like I have to lie a big kid on a small public table. We don’t use training pants to rain btw, lots of bum out time till they get it then no underwear and loose bottoms and then normal underwear or training pants if accidents would be really inconvenient (funeral, other people’s homes with carpet, winter snow suits!!!)

@Kierrah thank you. I've done my research of potty training and know to keep nappies off when training this is more the days following just incase there's an accident. Training pants hold wee better than normal pants too but still leave the wet feeling so they're mildly uncomfortable if they have an accident

@Charlotte FTM too. I just like to know the facts before making a decision and if I'm potty training soon I'm trying to work out if it's worth the hassle of hunting down nappy pants in her size

When potty training its important for baby to feel they are wet so nappies dont really help. Commit to it and stick to it dont confuse them using some nappies some not. Main reason for pants is due to them getting more movement. I would keep normal nappies at night and use pants in the day. When you actually potty train use real pants so they can feel they wee

What size is she? Pampers and Tesco’s do nappy pants.

@Louise this is interesting and clarifies my ‘what’s the difference’ question. Super helpful.

@Charlotte no problem my eldest was a nightmare. As family used to out him in pull ups when we went out. It was causing confusion for him and he was quite slow to train I had to put my foot down about it and he got better. Hes nearly 4 and still wears them at night as its hormonal and he can't hold it overnight yet but in the day hes totally dry and has been since he was 2.5. We started training him at 20 months Nappies are designed to pull the moisture away so they dont feel like there's any discomfort or anything. Part of training is they need to feel that.

@Charlotte we usually aim for aldi, she reacts to other nappies. She's in 5+ at the moment but her waist is finally catching to the size of her bum 😅

Just to clarify. Potty training pants are normal pants but have a small absorption but in them so they don't get sores or overly stressed from being wet. They are not nappies in anyway. I will use then after we're comfortable with the potty just as extra cover as we are out LOADS and there's always an odd day where you don't quite catch the loo when you need it

I flipping love pull ups. My biy will only tolerate a standing change and they make it sooooo easy. You just have to rip the sides to get them off if there's poo!

@Kierrah can you tell me more about potty training at 1-1.5 . I thought this was too early .
