Gerber Baby Girls Infant Toddler 4 Pack Potty Training Pants and Underwear

These are good basic underwear for toilet training children. They are soft, easy for a child to pull on and off, and have enough absorbency in the crotch panel to catch small leaks. I have ordered Gerber training pants before, and they seem to wear well with normal washing and drying. The first set of underwear I purchased is currently being used by the third child to be toilet trained. I ordered a few more because the original ones are starting to fray a bit on the binding around the legs and waist, although the underwear are still functional. Good value and the print is cute.

These came in a vinyl package, and they absolutely reeked of the harsh chemicals in it. I had to wash them about 7 times before it wasnt noticeable, and more before it was completely gone. I recommend buying these; http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006OE22MA/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (The Gerber Training Pants (6-pairs) here on Amazon) as they did NOT come in the vinyl packaging and did not reek of nasty chemicals. It also says they are 100% cotton, but it is worth noting for especially sensitive little ones, that within the absorbent center panel is some kind of artificial sponge. It did not seem to affect my little one though. They are holding up pretty well, though as with anything with elastic in, you dont want to expose them to too much heat - air dry them if you can. I think one has a small hole in the top of one of the waistbands, but that is after 9 months of pretty intensive use. (And being washed with nap and bed time cloth diapers.) For those of you ECing (Elimination Communication) I started using the 18 month size when my daughter was just 18lbs, and they held themselves up rather well, even though she has a pretty skinny butt. Now that they are a little well worn they wouldnt stay up if she was still that small, but shes not so thats OK. They do absorb a fair amount - my daughter learned to control her bladder very well so that she would let out just enough to wet the panties but not leak through - sneaky! And they work well enough under fleece pants as night training panties for a light wetter/a child that is trying to hold it. They dont hold too much though, they do teach toddlers what emptying your bladder will do, they just soak up enough to make less of a mess. Overall I am very satisfied with the product itself, I just wish they wouldnt use such horrible packaging.

Ive purchased 3 different kinds of training pants so far for my 3 year old daughter (Green Sprouts, Blueberry and the Gerber heavier duty ones with the plastic layer) and these are my favorites by far. The fabric is very soft and there is no plastic, so no rustling noises when she walks. The padding will catch a very small leak, but not a lot more. Id say they are really more for 2nd stage potty training, when your little one is not having accidents at home, but you still want something with a little extra padding down there, just in case. The only downside is some slight shrinkage when laundered, but they fit quite big to begin with so it just made them a little snugger. The color is a much brighter coral than it looks in the picture. The 3T fit my 30lb 38 tall daughter perfectly.

Not just for potty training, my favorite panties in general! These panties are not flimsy. They are thick and well made. My 2 year old can put this on by herself! Sizing: I started potty training at 18 months and my child weighed about 21 lbs. I’m so glad Gerber makes the 18 month size because these were one of the few that fit her! Even at 25 lbs. I prefer these over the 2t sizing because it is more snug. The 2t-3t is still slightly big. Accidents: the absorbent, thick layers makes accidents so much easier to clean up. The first thing I think when she has an accident is-was she wearing Gerber training panties or regular underwater. With Gerber, she may have some tinkle going down her legs, but I’m not going to be see a large puddle on the floor. If anything, there will be a small puddle, less than the size of the palm of my hand, on the floor. This is so much better than regular underwear with zero absorbency. Regular underwear will leave her with completely soaked pants, puddle on the floor, and a footprint trail of pee. SAVE yourself the headache. Buy these and buy a few more. We don’t even use regular underwear. The cut: I love how this truly covers your child’s bottoms. I can’t stand how Walmart underwear is cut so thin in the private area. Little kids are always lifting up their dresses and jumping around. I want my child wearing panties that provide good coverage! These hug well on her thighs and are wide on the bottoms! Diapers/Training Pull ups- We have been very successful with potty training and I owe it to these training panties. My toddler did not seem to mind if her pull up was wet. She would carry on and not even notice at times. It did not work well for us. These panties make it VERY obvious if she wet her underwear. You will need to change it. There’s not walking around and continuing to play with these on. I find that it gives you the perfect balance between wetness but with minimal cleaning. She will even wear this at night and it quickly (within one night) she learned how to not pee on her bed! Thank you Gerber for making potty training a lot easier with this. The one thing I wish was available is a 12-18 months size as well!

My daughter is 21 months old and started using the potty occasionally at 17 months. She is a little on the small side at only 23 lbs and the 18 month size fit her great (they run a little on the big side which surprised me since most of Gerber brand is a little on the small side). I ordered one pack of these training pants last week to see how they went. We wear them when we are staying at home because economically its cheaper to rinse out and wash the training pants than to throw out yet another diaper. To my surprise, they work well at being absorbent when she has an accident (which is about twice a day), although we do wear a vinyl cover over them. She loves putting on her big girl underwear. Between the training pants and the cover, I havent had to change her clothes once when an accident happens. Thankfully, I feel she is starting to get the point that we shouldnt have accidents in our big girl underwear because yesterday she only had 1 accident all day! I just ordered 4 more!

size up

Gerber products always seem to fit small compared to other companies of the same size, but it works well for me as I have a small little girl. She is 19 lbs at 14 months. We are starting to potty train a little early (because shes ready) and was having difficulty finding some undies that would fit. The 18 mo size says 24-28lbs and, like I said, my daughter is 19lbs and they fit almost perfect. They will probably fit fine for several more pounds, but I doubt a 28lber would be comfortable in them. As far as how they work. I was holding my daughter on my hip...she only had the training pants on. I felt my hip get a little warm, I quick lifted her up and her undies were wet, but my shirt was completely dry! So they did the trick! She realized she was going and my clothes stayed dry!

These not only leak, they are no more absorbing than just regular underwear. Plus they are bulky, ride super high and are ugly. Yet dont help avoid leaks. Terrible purchase. Waste of money. Pretty disappointed coming from such a big brand name.

Easy up and down for potty training. Doesn’t catch accidents but does better than nothing at all!

Super cute and better than pull ups. Othan than you cant just throw them away after one use. My daughter showed no interest in potty training so I bought these. They fit perfect and she seems to be showing more intereste.
