trust me, if you go away for the weekend and stay in a b & b, like we did, during toilet training, having an absorbant care mat is a godsend as you can sit your little widdler down on one to watch tv or whatever whilst you shower or get ready to go out and not worry about having to explain to the hotel/b & b owner about wet patches in your room.
We only ever bought one pack of care mats and it saw us through the whole 8 weeks of toilet training.
News from the postgraduate department is that the threat of no more beach trips until the pants are dry all day, every day actually worked yesterday. HOORAY !
Will it work for 2 days in a row ? I somehow doubt it
