Ah, the joys of potty training .... Giving birth was easier than toilet training my boy. I will not go into misfortunes, suffice it to say, my freakishly stubborn child is trained during the day. Now if I can get him to stay dry during the evening, I'll be a happy camper. This product has changed over the years, and I think it's better today. To be clear, I review the Pants Huggies Pull-Ups training with learning models. The reason I said that's because Kimberly-Clark is distributing a new product called Pants Huggies Pull-Ups training lined with moisture. I’m not certain that pull-ups actually facilitate potty training, although there’s no question that these pants helped to reduce my need for Extra-Strength Tylenol.

I think the reason why pull-ups in general don’t encourage toilet training is mostly due to the absorbency. They don’t allow children to feel wet, so why would they be persuaded to use the potty. It’s just like a glorified diaper that pulls up. After 3-months of trying to train my son with big-boy underwear, and trainers I finally gave into pull-ups. My son thinks these are cool because he can pull them up, and down by himself.

We had several nighttime disasters, so I picked up a box of Pampers Easy-Ups. They are more absorbent than the Huggies brand; however, the tare-away sides annoy me. When Procter & Gamble introduced the Feel ‘n Learn Advanced Trainers I was encouraged, but they were disappointing as well. Therefore, I went back to Huggies, and today they are my brand of choice. We only use these at night now, and I’ve learned to limit my son’s liquid intake at night. If William’s had an excessive amount of water throughout the day I either double up, or wake him up during the night and have him use the toilet, otherwise I’ll wake up to a soggy bed.

Do the learning designs work? Yes, in fact, they do fade when wet, but I think the front indicators are insignificant. On the other hand, children aren’t in the habit of looking down at their crotch. Therefore, unless their shorts are off, they’re not aware the designs have faded unless they’re told. With the introduction of the star designs on the inside of the pants, my son is able to see them, and he knows if they fade. He’ll tell me in the morning that all his stars are gone. The Toy Story learning designs used to feature glow-in-the-dark indicators, and my son loved to dance around, and see the planets move before he doned his jammies. He misses the glow-in-the-dark planets.
