Reusable training pants - recommendations?

Hi,
I'd like to get some reusable training pants for DS. We're in cloth full time (Tots Bots flexi tots). I've seen Tots Bots do a training pant - has anyone had any experience with these? how are they?
Is there another brand I should consider? (Haven't really started researching just yet)

I used washable training pants (bambino mio and kooshies, no idea if they're still made this was 10 years ago!). I wouldn't recommend them, both daughters just treated them as a nappy and they don't hold as much as a nappy does! much more sucessful just to wear knickers

I used BrightBots training pant with my DS. They look like normal pants but hold in poos and single wees. Disposable pull-ups were just treated like a nappy but the BB pants seemed to do the trick.

www.jabulanappies.co.uk has a sale on training pants at the moment which may be worth a look.

We used BrightBots too. I have to say that they didn't stand a chance at holding a whole wee, but they did limit the size of the puddle on the floor. They just about give you time to rush the kid to the loo and whip trews off before their outer clothes are soaked. However they are very pant-like and my DCs never deliberately used them as a nappy. In fact DS1 (3.5) still enjoys wearing his from time to time I think he finds them nice and snug and sturdy

I am using training pants on my semi-trained nearly 3 year old at the moment (he will not poo on toilet or potty and a fair few wee accidents too)
I have tried:
Tots bots- nice slim fit comfy, hold a small wee not too good at holding a poo.

Imse vimse fox fibre- very soft and comfy but puffy looking will hold a couple of wees and poo well.

Bright Bots- As useful as a pair of pants, wee dribbles down leg/ tips out when pants removed. But comfy,cheap & cheerful.

Blueberry- Lush, will hold anything thrown at it well.Go up a size as side seam is a bit bulky. Very expensive.
