Best pull ups?

Can someone recommend the best pull up nappies? Ie absorbent, easy to use, fit etc? Currently compiling a boots order and want to order some for 2 yo DD to try once we finish current nappy pack (using pampers active fit size 4+). Been gently attempting potty training for a couple of months now with little to no interest/success but thought I would try her in pull ups to encourage her to pull up/take off herself if and when she ever takes an interest in the potty! Oh and range seems to be between buggies pull ups (some pretty stereotypical pink girls ones which not sure I love!), pampers pull ups or boots own...

pull ups are just nappies.

for potty training normal undies work much better because dc can feel the wetness.

I know they are! But I thought they were supposed to be a 'halfway house' and she isn't ready to wear just pants yet as will just pee in them, unless that's a way for them to learn?!

We only use pull ups during nap and night times. And only because dd refuses to wear nappies now as she's a 'big girl now' and nappies are for her baby sister. She sees a pull up as different because they're pulled up rather than strapped on like a nappy.

PP is right they are just nappies that you put on in a different way, we never bothered with them during potty training, just switched to actual pants.

If you're not actually potty training I'd just stick with nappies they're cheaper. As others have said pull ups are just nappies (but much more expensive!). We now use them for daytime nap and long car journeys but pants at all other times.

My daughter's 27 months and we started potty training about 4/5 weeks ago. We really had to prompt her/ put her on toilet or potty for the first while but now she will tell us when she needs to go. We used pull ups a few days ago for farm park day out and I wish we hadn't, had 5 accidents the next day after a week of being completely dry during the day.

We just use a normal nappy for overnight still.
