Trainer pants

Reusable absorbent pants to help with potty training
Washable, reusable trainer pants are ideal for children on their way to being potty trained. Helpful for those who are dry sometimes but have occasional "accidents" or don't quite make it to the toilet in time. Trainer pants are ideal for when you are out and about or at play group etc. to give extra peace of mind.

Reusable trainer pants are quite unlike disposable pull-ups, which are really just pull-up nappies, and they have the advantage that the child can feel when they are wet, helping them to learn the association between the sensation of weeing and wet pants. An additional benefit, apart from the obvious environmental benefits, is that resuable training pants are extremely economical compared with disposable pull up pants.

Our training pants are absorbent and will absorb dribbles or a small wee. They are, of course, not a nappy substitute, and will need changing shortly after the child has wet to avoid wicking onto the clothing. However, they will help to prevent embarrassing accidents for your child, and allow you to get your little one to the toilet for a change if necessary. We stock the following excellent brands:

*Imse Vimse Organic Training Pants
*Blueberry Minky Training Pants
*Motherease Training Pants

Imse Vimse trainer pants
Organic cotton covered pull-up pants
Beautifully soft, Imse Vimsetraining pants will help while your child makes the transition out of nappies. Suitable for use during the daytime (not during a nap) at the transition stage between nappies and being fully toilet trained.

They have the advantage of looking and feeling like real pants, with a comfortable layer of organic cotton on the outside, soft elastic at the waist, two layers of absorbent organic terry cloth on the inside and a hidden layer of polyurethane-laminated polyester to keep clothes dry and allow the skin to breathe. Change pants soon after wetting to prevent wicking onto clothing.

Options
The outer organic cotton layer is available in white or several attractive prints. Imse Vimse trainer pants are now also available in Fox Fibre®, a cotton that is naturally coloured, not dyed. The natural colours darken when washed, and the fabric is more durable than ordinary cotton. Fox Fibre® makes a lovely choice for training pants because of its softness, it is chemical free and friendly to the environment.

Sizing
Available in 3 or 4 sizes, depending on style. The suggested weight range, age range and the waist measurements of the pants (unstretched) are given to guide you in choosing the perfect size for your little one:

The outer layer of laminated minky is waterproof and keeps wetness in, without feeling or sounding 'plasticky'.

Motherease trainer pants
Pull-up trainer pants. Discount available when you buy three of more pairs.
These pants are designed to contain day-time accidents for toddlers who are on their way to toilet training. They can be pulled down and up by the child, allowing them the independence to do it themselves. Made from a soft waterproof polyurethane laminate outer that feels like fabric (the same as that used for Motherease wraps) with a layer of soft cotton terry inside and a double layered gusset. They will absorb a small wee, allowing your child to make it to the toilet without wet clothes.

How many will I need? You can judge this by how often you are likely to use them and how often your child is likely to wet them. If you only intend to use them for times when you or your child are out and about when accidents may matter most you may not need more than a couple of pairs. If you are planning to use them full time you will need as many as your child is likely to wet each day. These pants can alternately be rinsed through by hand and machine washed. They dry quickly in a warm place if turned inside out (e.g. overnight or slightly longer).

Sizing
Small 20lb - 30lb
Large 30lb - 40lb
XL 40lb - 60lb

Available in plain white or print. The print will be one of the eco theme prints (see Motherease wraps page for pictures). We cannot guarantee your first choice, but please state any preference by listing this in the additional information at the checkout and we will most likely be able to accommodate this or select the closest to your choice available.
