Yes, I bought two packs of 5 (so 10) to start with. Then when she'd been dry for a few days she went out and bought herself a set of "posh" pants - she simply choose some really girly pnes, with characters on, rather than plain ones like I had got.

I started with one pack of 10. I soon went out to buy another
I found I ended up with a couple of pairs in every bag we used to go out with, some at nursery, some in the buggy basket...you get the picture?

lots . pretty much dpeends on how often you are going to wash them - but you could easily get through 5 pairs in a day to begin with.

popsycal · 18/10/2004 11:35

might get more than 10 pairs then lol

hostonchick - sounds like a good idea - thanks!

also, have to say that if DS had a poo accident in pants then they went in the bin; for the sake of a few quid I wasn't even going to try and deal with that.

popsycal · 18/10/2004 11:39

that sounds good too krocket

Have just bought 2 packs of 7. One lot in 2-3 and one 3-4 years on advice of friend who said easier to pull up and down bigger sizes. When are you starting? We're going for it with DS (2.5 years)at half-term hols next week!

popsycal · 18/10/2004 11:42

And here - the bigger size was a really good piece of advice

popsycal · 18/10/2004 11:44

shall we start a half term potty training support group thread?!?!?

Ds has about 25....

strawberry · 18/10/2004 11:50

Yes definitely up for a support thread on this. Probably starting on Monday as busy at weekend.

Tissy · 18/10/2004 11:57

I got the bigger sizes, too, but they slipped off dd's little skinny bum, and wouldn't stay up!

elliott · 18/10/2004 11:59

Tissy, same problem here - had to get age 1-2 pants for ds1 (now nearly 3 and still a perfect fit!) not much choice of designs in that age range...
