Where can one find exciting boy's underpants?

I am trying to marshal up the reserves to have a go at potty training my ds2 (28 months/ 2.3yrs) (not wildly confident - my first was easy peasy, all over in under a week, but I suspect my little terror will be much more challenging!).
I would really like to get some exciting (but ideally faintly tasteful) underpants to get him motivated (and soften the blow of not using his elmo nappies), preferably showing Elmo but otherwise perhaps trains or the usual range of iconography. I can't seem to find any exciting underpants at all on the web - can anyone help?

You don't need exciting ones just take him to asda and let him choose his own. Whatever he chooses will be the most exciting for him. For us it was some non-character trucks which I wouldn't have gone for.
The day we picked them he insisted on wearing a pair over his nappy and wrap
I say asda cos cheap ones are best when starting potty training!!

oh exciting boys pants are no good when they pooh them and you have to chuck them!!!!

nooooo

go for whatever you either find in the sales, or from QS, asda, tesco etc....and toilet train with them. if only to save the tears when they soil their fave characters!

buy the decent ones as an incentive for them to aim for....and those I get from anywhere really. it all depends on the characters they like.......

DS1 liked bob builder when he was being trained, and new bob builder pants was his aim.

DS2 however liked spongebob (H&M), and scoobydoo (sainsburys). they were his aim, and one he reached in a week!

HTH....otherwise....go to GAP, M&S, or even primark........

Definatly let him pick his own, we let ds pick his own (2.3) and it looks like we've cracked it in a week

Woolworths. Exciting Pants are for bribes though, Ie, look how wonderful these pants are, if you keep your normal pants clean and dry for X time, I will buy you some Exciting Pants.

tesco,adams, woolies, all about 5pairs for a fiver, and letting him choose is def what counts. when I started doing ds he would try to wear all of them (I had 3 packs as we had lots of accidents in the early days) which made weeing difficult!

At the mo we have nee-nah pants which he always insists on wearing for pe at nursery
