Training Pants Are A Scam
I've been had by the corporate diaper propaganda machine, bilked for a few hundred dollars over the past couple years. If you have a toddler who's in need of potty training, keep this in mind: Pull Ups & Easy Ups are a scam! They're diapers by another name! They're so absorbent, the kid doesn't feel it when they pee their pants! Of course that doesn't help when potty training.
We had to resort to some hardcore potty training. Bye bye Pull Ups & Goodnights, hello Hello Kitty undies. At times I felt like Sgt. Hulka. "You will not pee in your pants, recruit!" "What's that I see on the floor, recruit? A puddle? Now drop & give me 20 Brawny sheets!"
At first, she just peed her pants like always, then within a couple days she started running into the bathroom. Sometimes she didn't make it & needed consoling, but now she runs in when she needs to, does her business, and a drain on my bank account is gone.
