cloth "pull-ups"

earlyspring1 · September 2014

I've diapered my twins pretty much exclusively in freetimes and I've loved them. Now they are not quite two but are both very enthusiastic about the potty, but still have one or two accidents each day. I bought a case of disposable pull-ups thinking it would be a short transition but it looks like we won't be ready to go to real undies for awhile. What is my best cloth alternative to pull-ups?

I have seen these however I have no experience with them. https://www.gro-via.com/my-choice-trainer.html

Most folks here encourage going straight to undies, but I am a big chicken so we've got several cloth trainers. Here's how I feel about the ones we have...

Best Bottoms: I love that they look like regular underwear but have snap-in inserts so the cover is normally reusable if the insert just gets slightly wet. On the down side, no snaps means more difficult poo cleanup.

Flips: I like the side snaps and rise snaps. I don't care for the super long inserts; they're quite bulky when folded to fit a shorter rise.

Blueberries and EcoPosh: Both are cute and fit well, but they're also one-use only if they get wet.

Gerber: Since there's not a waterproof layer, we just use these at home. They are the cheapest option, and I've heard of people retrofitting them with PUL to make them leak resistant.

Super Undies

Love the super undies but don't mistake them for a diaper they will soak quick and are meant for an opps didn't get there quite quick enough.

I bought a few gerber ones. They are cheaper, and although they have no PUL, I just kinda suck it up and bring extra pants. I don't want to spend tons at this point, and we just use undies at home.

With my older kids I did the Gerber training pants and the Gerber pull on plastic pants over that.....but that was before the cooler options available today.
