Consumer reviews needed........Are there any disposable nappies that allow a baby/toddler to feel wet?? Or am i making it up? I.E to help with potty training?

I've been thinking recently that I need to get my rather large 23 month old ready for toilet training soon--ish. She is already comfortably fitting size 6 disposables .
What I am after ( if there is such a thing) is a 'disposable' that is not SO super absorbant that she doesn't notice she's wet. I can't be doing with buying loads of washables now. I had washables with my first two dds's and then couldn't do it for the following dd's.
Perhaps there are in between nappy things. I don't know, maybe I'm making it all up.
I would be ever so grateful to hear your consumer reviews!!!

the pampers feel and learn are what you are thinking of i guess....

or perhaps a much cheaper tesco value nappy will not be so comfortable and dry.

Ultimatley though if your child is ready for potty training they will probably get it it a few days in real pants and everything else is just manufacturers trying to get more £ out of you...

either toilet train you child in pants

OR dont bother potty training and get on with nappies as usual... (until ready to put into pants)

anything else just confuses the child and drags potty training on and on IMO

feel and learn by pampers

but really there is little point - and i think they only go up to a 5/6 rather than a 6

just go straight to pants or wait until after your wedding (are you kittylette? ior another kitty)

No I'm kittywits
Thanks. I wasn't sure if something super duper had come onto the market. There are SO many things out there now.
I wondered if there was a super absorbant cloth pant that held in most of the wee but let them feel wet iykwim.
Hey, is there a gap in the market

my friend just bought cheep knickers (asda do big multipacks) and stuck them on under the nappy.

The material feels wet against skin but nappy soaks up the rest...

wet knickers get washed, dirty ones go in the bin.

But as i say i do Nappies OR pants and dont botehr with both

Was going to agree with nannyl on the cheap pants thing. We did that with dd and it worked quite well.

I personally think it is all a marketing gimmick tbh (and I know many others who agree). I tried them with DD1 and they just confused her (as did pull ups, she know they were still a nappy so why bother going to the loo to pull them down).

What worked for us was some cheap bambino mio training pants, they don't hold loads of wee but enough to stop any accidents of either variety (need changing often if they aren't ready so I good guage of readiness I thought).

DD found them very comfortable and was reluctant to go back to disposables once she had tried them.

bonkerzaboutxmas · 08/12/2007 22:23

Have potty trained 2 children whilst childminding and am just about to start with DD. We use the cheapest value nappies when out and about with pair of knickers over top. These nappies are HORRID and plastic and have found the kids know instantly when they have wet BUT it saves horrid accidents and took max of 4 months from start to dry!!!

andaRubberDuckinapeartree · 08/12/2007 22:28

Imo, the best use for feel and learn nappies is for night wear with an already potty trained child who isn't ready for night training yet.

That way, if they want to get up and try and use the loo they can (pull down/up rather than complicated sticky tabs on a normal nappy), but if they don't wake or don't make it in time, then no wet sheets to change, but still feel some discomfort to give the incentive to learn.

Never bothered using them for day potty training.

Thankyou
I had never thought of cheap nappies. We use pampers .
I shall investigate the Bambino Mio too.

I successfully trained 2 children in 2 weeks with knickers and unsuccessfully trained 2 children over 4 months using pull-ups
