Training pants

[phier99]

Has anyone used potty training underwear on their toddler and if so, was it good and what brand would you recommend please?

My daughter has been potty trained for 6 months and goes to the toilet regularly but suffers from a medical problem so often leaks and her urine is extremely strong smelling. I've been using pant liners but she doesn't like them. I have seen training pants online and thought these might be a good compromise as she doesn't want to wear pull ups or nappy pants

Thanks

Honestly they don't hold that much. I stopped putting them on my daughter as they seemed to encourage her to wee and poo more often in them. Since the crotch in the training underwear is kind of poofy and padded I guess it felt like a nappy to her. She just wears knickers now and I accept that she will have accidents, plus she can feel she's had an accident alot more in normal underwear

We had a pack of Bright Bots - my eldest would dribble a bit rather than go to the loo immediately, they are soft cotton jersey with a bit of hidden waterproofing and absorbency and look and feel like pants. We found the wide elastic quite easy to pull up and down by themselves

Thanks for your replies

@Ariela that's really useful, thanks.
