Recommend your pull-ups

We're gonna try this potty training thing w/ G over New Years Eve. When he wears disposables, Pampers fit him best, and Huggies have always leaked.

What pull-ups should I look into? Ideally, those would be for night-time only. Ideally.

We use the ones that are actual pull ups (with Cars on them) with a wool cover at night. That's what we use when we're out, too. Minus the wool. At home he's in undies most days.

On recommendation of our DC, we skipped Pull Ups and moved straight to undies and diapers at night and nap.

No pull ups here either. We went straight to underwear all day. Diaper at night.

I do both - on some days just undies, but if we use pull ups - I've gotten the ones with CARS on them or the Target Up and Up brand. Both are about the same as a diaper as far as leaks go.

Man I so wish you had asked yesterday because Babysteals had Blueberry cloth trainers on, baah. Anyway, both my kids pretty immediately decided that pull up = diapers and were totally offended by them, to the point that when we tried them for nighttime (instead of cloth) Andrew would wake up just enough to rip them off and then end up peeing in the bed. We skipped them for daytime for the most part, we used them a tiny bit for travel in the very beginning but both my boys tended to be more successful out of the house than in it.

Since you already do cloth and you've got two kiddos I would totally invest in the cloth trainers. Pull ups are effing expensive.

I actually have some training pants. I just hadn't thought to try them overnight, because I don't know what their capacity is and this dude can PEE!!!

I think I'll get a bag of pull-ups, and try them to get an idea of how much capacity they can hold vs. the training pants. If the training pants are the same, then we'll switch to them over night after the bag of pull-ups is through.

my 2 cents:

we CD'ed and bought some cloth trainers. cloth trains for us = a diaper to H so he didn't even bother unless the pee went down his leg.

regular undies were best for us. not the same feeling btwn the leg as a cd. it could just be H, but I dunno. once we put undies on him he got it.

We use a regular nappy for bed time.

In my opinion, you should stay away from pullups and only use diapers until you have some success in training. Pullups are too confusing in the beginning and cause regressions, in my experience. There's no need to NOT use a diaper at nighttime or nap time and they won't get as confused, ime, because you can explain that their bodies don't wake them up to go potty at night and they're already used to peeing in a diaper anyway.
