Hi B., I first bought for my son (now 3) the regular training pants from Gerber you can find on Target and also, I was told, Walmart. I wasn't crazy about it... so I started looking on internet. I found a website www.pottytrainingconcepts.com with a lot of information and also the best training pants I have ever found. They are the Potty Scotty (for boys) and Potty Patty (for girls). They are white with either blue (boys) or red/pink (for girls). They seam really comfortable and they are thicker than the Gerber.
Well, I hope I could help you. Good luck!

You can order them thru www.onestepahead.com I think. I haven't seen the really thick ones out in stores much either.

www.pottytrainingconcepts.com. They sell Gerber, Potty Scotty and Potty Patty. My friend told me she likes the Potty Patty brand a lot. I plan to buy them soon. Good luck!

Both One Step Ahead and Hannah Anderson carry them. Good luck with the potty training!

I found them at Target in the aisle with the onesies and sleepers, I think. I think they come in packs of 2 or 3.

Target & Walmart carry Gerber brand, but I'd recommend buying better quality ones online. I found the Gerber ones to be very flimsy. Last year I bought some excellent ones from http://www.pottyscotty.com. It's a company here in TX. They have girl ones too called Potty Patty (I think). Anyway, they really hold up wash after wash.

Hi,

I bought mine at Babies R Us.

Good luck with the potty training. I'm about to start with my son.

I found them at J.C. Penny (granted that was 5 1/2 years ago) in the store. They may also have them online with JCP. Good luck...I had the same problem with my daughter. I think the training pants (cloth ones) are a great way to go. Buy a lot of them because you may be washing them quite a bit in the beginning. :o)

I bought ours at Target, made by Carters.

I also used the thick training pants for my daughter when she was first potty training. I found them at wal-mart. They were Gerber brand and with the other Gerber baby sleepers and onesies. I didn't see them with the regular underwear. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Try Babies-R-US. Or, maybe you can find some online.

B., I too have had a hard time finding any thick training pants. I did find them at the Walmart in Snyder. Maybe this walmart could order them. The brand is Gerber training pants and is sold in a pack of three. They were about 8.00. M. B.

I don't know where you can find "training pants", but my daughter did the same thing. So what I did was put regular panties on her and I put those "plastic panties" over them. You can buy them anywhere. This way, the liquid doesn't soak into the material, so it is more uncomfortable for her, and you still protect the carpet, furniture and so on. I hope this helps!

I looked and found some training pants at Wal-Mart, but they aren't made like they used to be. They feel like there's foam in the absorbant area, rather than all of the layers of fabric. I wish I'd kept the ones that I had from before!

At my local Super Walmart, they still sell the old-school Gerber training pants (underwear with six layers of cloth at the crotch) and the old-school vinyl pullup covers, both are about $5 for a 3pack in the baby section. I know Justin is a bit of a drive, but there are also two cloth diaper stores in DFW that sell a variety of cloth training pants. One is Bree's Bums in Richardson, and the other is Babies Bottoms and More in Farmer's Branch - and both have online stores too so you can see pictures before you drive. These training pants are more expensive, but are more comfortable and have the cloth and the waterproofing all in one piece. What I did was buy three pairs of the training pants and several packages of the Gerbers. We go through the more expensive ones first, then switch to the Gerbers for the rest of the day with polyester sweatpants to limit the seepage. I still use Pull-Ups at night.

We got ours for our daughter last week and found them both at Target and Wal-mart. You may just have to ask where they are b/c we did have to do some searching and they were in wierd places (not with diapers or underwear at either place, but with socks at one place and with burp clothes and onsies in another).

Hope that helps!

I am pretty sure I have seen them at Walmart. But if you can't find them there, I would try Babies R Us. They should have them.
Good luck!

Babies R Us has them.

Don't know about training pants, but I have another "secret." Sweatpants! Borrow sweatpants from all your friends, and then the leaks pretty much take care of themselves. You still have to clean up a child, but there's a lot less floor cleaning to do. This saved me when my last one was training. It took less than a week of sweatpants.

I have bought some at the Walmart off of 80 and Beltline and my mom had bought some at Baby's R Us @ Galloway and Town East Blvd. When I went, I couldn't find them, so I asked someone and they new where they were....Good Luck!

I know a freind of mine did get some at Walmart but they were kind of hard to find. Down on the bottom, kind of mixed in with other random stuff. I know Babies R Us has them too if you are unsuccessful every where else. They are so hard to find you'd think no one uses them anymore and my daughter does the same with her pull-up. I'm going to training pants very soon also. Good luck with your efforts!

I've seen them at JCPenneys, Walmart, and Target. They're more in the infant section, by the creepers, onesies, baby socks, etc. They also sell the plastic cover to go over to prevent leaks.

I know that you have purchased training pants now and good luck. However, if you need something in a pinch and still have some of those pull-ups left, I read this in a magazine article.

Use regular panties on your daughter and put a pull-up over top. The panties will give her the an incomfortable feeling when they are wet, but he pull-up will protect your furniture.

L.

They have them at Walmart, but they are hanging on the bottom of one of the shelves back in the baby and toddler section. I overlooked them many times but finally found them. They hang on the very bottom 3 in a pack, you have one choice in pink and one choice in blue. You can also find them at Babies R Us. They are hard to find at both places, Babies R Us has been sold out a couple of times when I have gone. Usually if you ask someone there they can help you find them, at Walmart good luck finding someone to help you.
S.

Try going to walmart or target that is where I have always seen them.
Good Luck

I beleive I found them at Babies R Us. However after a day of regular cotton panties and accidents, my little one was using the potty because she didnt like the wetness all over her! For on the go during her time of training, we used the cotton panties and put a pull up over them and she coulc feel the wetness that way too. Best of luck

I thought I was the only one having this problem!!! I need training pants too, and was told that Wal-mart doesn't carry them, and Babies-R-Us said they've been out for months. I can't wait to hear where others are buying them, 'cause we need some too!

I would say that the best place to try is BabiesRUs. I bought some plastic training panties for my little girl there. They don't work as good as the one from back in the day, but they work pretty good.

I used underwear inside the pullup. The underwear got wet and let him KNOW he was wet - without me having to clean up (much) mess.

S.

It may be icky, and it may create more work, but skipping the training pants makes the whole process go faster. Even in training pants they feel like they can go in their pants because it's so thick. Regular underwear is thin enough to really get wet and uncomfortable.

My son was trained in seven days.

Hi!

I'm pretty sure I've seen them at Babies R Us. Good luck!
D. G.

Try Sears - I think that's where I got mine, though it was several years ago.

B.,

They do have them at Walmart, but you have to LOOK. I found them where the toddler under shirts are and socks. It took me about 20 minutes to find them in the sea of stuff that they have, but they do have them. You might even want to check online - it might be easier to find. Also, I bet BabiesRUs would have them and their salespeople would be more helpful.

M.

I bought my thick training pants at Babies R Us. They have girl and boy colors in packs of 3.

I bought the underwear and training pants in packs of 3 of Babies 'R Us.

Try the plastic "overpants" - sold at walmart. They "catch" the leaks - do NOT put in dryer! can be put in waher or simply rinsed off.

Bridgette,
I found mine on ebay four years ago for my oldest. I am now using them with my 2year old. I also use Pampers Feel and Learn. I use them on his preschool days. He has had one accident and as soon as he did he was telling them, "oops potty"
So they do work. Hope this helps.

Hi~
I have seen the old fashioned kind at the Hanna Andersson store at Northpark mall in Dallas. They have a website, too, though. Try www.hannaandersson.com

Good Luck!

I think I read about putting panties on under a pull up so that they actually feel the wetness on their skin. I saw plastic pants at BRU the other day, but not the thick panty kind.

I have heard that Hanna Andersson carries training pants. The only bummer is that everything is so darned expensive, but check it out anyway . . . you never know. There is also a "cost" when it comes to peace of mind and less mess. LOL!

Here is the info: http://www.hannaandersson.com/search.aspx?search_for=trai...

Best of luck to you and your daughter!

Signed,

Walmart does have them but does not keep them in stock. I look every time I'm there and have only ended up with two packages. Online is your best bet.

I have seen them at Wal Mart by the cloth diapers. They even have the plastic pants to cover them for at night. Good luck. V. C

I just bought some about 3 months ago at Walmart.

I am suprised you did not find them at Target. They are usually where the onesies and Layettes are. If you still have no luck try Ebay. Good Luck!!

Try Bree at Bree's Bums. The shop is in Richardson near the university. WWW.BREESBUMS.COM is the website.

Babies R Us has some and they aren't too pricey. They also have "bloomers" which are the old fashioned pants with a slick outside that make it so they don't leak. My daughter is liking hers, when she wants to wear panties and go potty!

Check Walmart. They used to have some training pants. They were in the baby section on the aisle with the panties.

B.,

I got all the ones for my son at target. Also, you may want to look at a resale store like kid-to-kid over by the parks mall.

Good luck with the whole potty training thing and finding the training pants!

If you are talking about those super thick cloth panties--I have bought some at Walmart--but I only found them once (about a year or so ago) and haven't seen anymore. I don't know if they are just hard to keep in stock or what--but Either Target or Babies "R" Us should have them--If not I have no idea but they really are great. Good Luck!

Hi B., I know you updated that you found some on Amazon but if you're looking for more JC Penney carries them as well. I had trouble finding them at my Target & Wal-Mart too. A.

I just googled cloth training pants and it turned up a BUNCH of stuff, including the waterproof cloth training pants!

Good luck!

There is a big sale in Fort Worth call Just Between Friends. It will be at the Fort Worth convention center. You can find out more about it at www.jbfsale.com. They have lots of kids stuff and you may find some gently used pants. I am a grandma and have found lots of treasures at these sales.

Try JCP, I bought a paneled training pant there.

Hi B. ~
I actually found the thick training pants/underwear at Target ...they come in packages of 3 and they come in several different sizes ..I found them hanging near the onesies or 1 row over. Kind of hard to find.
Hope this helps

I found mine at Walmart. They had the thick kind as well as the plastic underwear that you can put over the thick cloth ones. I looked in the clothing section of the little girls.

Wal-Mart & Target have them.

Wal- Mart use to have them (it's been 3 years since I trained mine) I was adimate about not using pull ups! We used the old fashion, thick training pants. Otherwise check online http://www.pottytrainingconcepts.com or on ebay!

they have them at target on the baby aisle with the onesies and burp cloths- i just bought some at the one in dallas on nw. hway and skillman- they are gerber and come 3 to a pack- hanging in a plastic wrapped package- good luck

you might try goodwill or second hand stores,they would be used but you could bleach them.I haven't seen those in years.I used those with my first 3 children,and I agree it works better,cause pull ups is like a diaper.I use pull ups this time around.I have 5 children ages 23,22,20,4,3 and 1 grandson 2.I also stay home,so if there's anything I can answer for you let me know.

Try Sears. As a Mom of 7 kids, Sears has always had them before. However, my youngest is 13 and she potty trained herself before she turned 2.

"Babies R Us" (part of Toys R Us) have these training pants. They also carry the plastic covers for them.
