Any recs for Cloth Training Pants?

My daughter is starting to show some interest in going potty in the toilet, so I'm wondering about cloth training pants.  Any one have any that they recommend?  Is it worth it to buy these or can she learn while wearing her normal pocket diapers?

 Any insight is appreciated, thanks!

    I'll preface this by saying that every child is different. What works for mine might not work for yours.

    That said, DD never wore training pants. I used underwear time around the house and diapers outside the house for a few months. Once she was consistently pottying during underwear time, I switched her to underwear full-time.

    Training pants would have been a complete waste for her. I went through one pack of disposable pullups, and she just treated them like diapers. I'm glad I didn't invest in a full stash of cloth training pants...

    I'm working on pottying with DS right now. I leave him bare-bottomed around the house whenever possible. (He has accidents if he's in underwear!) He does pretty well with going potty when he needs to, but he'll need to learn that he still needs to go potty when he has underwear on, before he can do underwear full-time Wink So, he's in diapers whenever the bare-bottomed look isn't appropriate! I don't anticipate needing training pants for him, either -- well, he'll need them when he starts preschool in January (they don't do diapers, only pullups) but that's a unique situation. He won't need them for PT'ing purposes.

    With DS#1, I wasn't CDing, but I bought the Gerber cloth training pants and waterproof pants for him to wear around the house because Pull-Ups didn't help him at all.

    DS#2 is showing interest in PTing, so I pre-ordered the new flip trainers.  We mostly use flip covers and PFs right now.

    DS was fighting the underwear at the new DC so I sent him in one of the pullups we have for when grandma is here and he uses the potty there now al ost all the time.  If I knew how to get him to do what I wanted it would be amazing but kids are differnt and can change there mind.  I just got some of the gerber pants and I'm not impressed they are huge and thin
