Potty Party! Custom Made, Waterproof Training Pants for Boys and Girls {Review and Giveaway} **CLOSED**

Congratulations to the winner, Tylerpants!

Result:58Powered by RANDOM.ORG

These training pants are hands down one of the top potty training products I've reviewed! In previous posts I have talked about the difficult time we had finding potty training pants that fit well and were waterproof. I did eventually find a store bought pair that did the job well, but I always love things that are hand made and custom fit. If something is custom fit, it's made just for your child rather than the "average" child of the same age. After all, not many kids (or adults!) are "average" in every way! I wasn't really sure that I would actually find what I was looking for, but after searching online through several different stores, I finally stumbled across babybayrs! What immediately caught my eye about her training pants was that they were advertised to be waterproof and custom fit, and they were so stinkin' cute! EG has so many summer dresses, and I needed something that would be practical (in that it had to be waterproof to contain potty training messes) and stylish under her precious little outfits. These training pants were the best of both worlds! So cute, and definitely waterproof. I also needed some pants that would be comfortable for her to wear. The first pairs we tried were so tight around her legs that she would have a mark every time she wore them. It was awful and those didn't last too long in our house! Also, many training pants we tried were so big and bulky that I could hardly get her clothes on over them! So, you see, I obviously had very high expectations for my "ideal" training pants. Luckily, babybayrs came to the rescue and offered me a pair of custom fit training pants for review. They had every characteristic I was looking for and come at a great price of $12 a pair (not bad for something handmade and custom!). Once we received them for review, I was not disappointed. They honestly met all of my expectations and more! I could probably write a book on how much I love them...truly.

First of all, I had to take all of EG's measurements that would be needed for the pants (i.e. waist, thigh, etc.) so that they would fit her perfectly. I had high hopes that I would love the pants and wanted to go ahead and order an extra pair. However, babybayrs suggested that I try the review pair first to make sure that the fit was exactly right. I appreciated that she was so concerned with making sure everything was perfect and that I was a happy customer. The pair actually did fit quite well and they worked like a charm, though we made some minor adjustments to the leg measurements on the second pair (that I did actually end up ordering :). The first thing that struck me was the quality craftmanship of the pants. I could easily see that they were well put together and would last a long time. The inside lining is 100% cotton that was very soft and is what allows your child to feel the wetness during training (super important!). There is an insert of multiple layers of terry fabric for excellent absorption, and the outer layer is made from waterproof polyurethane laminate (PUL). These babies will NOT leak! But, not only that, they seemed so comfortable for EG to wear and there was no tight elastic on any part of her body. All of the openings are wrapped with the cotton fabric so there is nothing anywhere to rub, irritate, or squeeze your little one. The final touch on the pants is the cute little design sewn onto the front - little flowers for girls, and little puppy dogs for the boys. They come in different colors (pink, blue, white) so that you have the perfect pair for your little one to wear under anything. We have a pink and white pair (pictured above) and they are worn just about every day. I wash them every night and they have held up beautifully. The picture above was taken today, and you see how nice they still look after all of that washing and drying! I am so excited to share these with you, and one lucky reader will get their own custom pair of training pants to try for themselves. I am certain you'll want more!

Potty Party! Make Little Accidents a Little More Bearable with Potty Patty/Scotty Training Pants from MOM Innovations {Review and Giveaway} **CLOSED*

Congratulations to the winner, Erin!

Result:13Powered by RANDOM.ORG

MOM Innovations is a wholesale distributor of everything potty training, including the awesome products from Potty Patty and Potty Scotty (cute names for girl's and boy's potty training products and the dolls that go along with them!). It seemed that every potty training search I did came up with some kind of product from Potty Patty or Potty Scotty. The particular items I was very interested in were the different types of waterproof training pants. EG's pediatrician suggested that we skip the disposable training pants and go straight to cloth in order to avoid prolonging the process (as disposables are said to do) of potty training. I didn't feel comfortable going to straight to cloth and, honestly, I just don't have the time right now to wash the sheets and car seat every night, and I certainly didn't want to get frustrated with EG if she had an accident. After a lot of searching I found some awesome Potty Patty training pants at MOM Innovations, and they were generous to provide me several pairs to try out and review. I was able to try the 2 in 1 Waterproof PUL Training Pants and the Night Time Waterproof Training Pants. I was most impressed with both types! Both types of pants were cloth, but waterproof to contain little accidents. The best of both worlds! I have to say that I was a little skeptical that I would find a cloth training pant that was indeed waterproof, comfortable for EG to wear, BREATHABLE (my poor little girl is hot-natured like her Daddy), and affordable enough to buy several pairs. The PUL and Night Time Training Pants both fit the bill perfectly! The waterproof PUL is the secret ingredient to both pairs being waterproof. Here is a description of exactly what the PUL fabric is:

"Waterproof "PUL" (Polyurethane Laminate) is a soft, polyester knit fabric laminated with polyurethane on the inside, so the training pants have the feel of a soft polyester knit fabric where one would touch the training pants, but are 100% waterproof on the inside."

The 2 in 1 Waterproof PUL Potty Patty daytime training pants are, first of all, so cute with the pink Potty Patty logo (don't worry moms of boys...there are Potty Scotty versions too!) and "big kid" motivating phrases like "I am a big kid now" and "I am all grown up". Too cute! But, not only are they adorable, they were so soft and comfortable for EG to wear. The legs were not too tight (as was the case on another name brand pair that we did not like!) and did not leave red marks around EG's little baby thighs. Also, the fabric was very soft and more breathable than anything I could have ever imagined being waterproof. They were also just the right thickness so that they were not too bulky under EG's clothes. But, most importantly, the PUL waterproof fabric and extra padding in the crotch area did indeed keep accidents at bay! Hooray! EG still has quite a few accidents as she is still learning, and these training pants have made the process so much less stressful for us! At $8.95 a pair they are also a better deal than any other mass produced training pants I have been able to find. The pants we tried first (which sent us on a hunt for a better pair!) were $14 a pair. They held in accidents great, but were too tight on her legs and way too bulky. I'm so glad that I was able to try out these Potty Patty training pants from MOM Innovations. They have truly been a lifesaver and I would recommend them to anyone trying to potty train little ones!

As for the gender neutral Night Time Pants, I am still in love! These are the same for boys and girls (whereas most other products have a Potty Patty and Potty Scotty version). They are adjustable for a perfect fit, and have a little more padding than the daytime pants. The inside is an extra absorbent terry fabric that is also unbelievably soft. The crotch area also has extra padding as with the regular training pants. I felt like these were so comfortable for EG to sleep in, and they also held in accidents well. EG is still really learning the overnight training, as we have not focused too much on that. Usually we let her wear a Pull-Up to sleep in (bad mommy!), but we tried these pants and loved them. A couple nights we used them, she had more than just a little accident, and they leaked through the leg hole. But, it was no big deal and, like I said, it was more than just a little accident. I think we will definitely be using these night time pants more and more, and again, I would recommend them to anyone. In fact, after having tried these two products from MOM Innovations, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend any of the other Potty Patty or Potty Scotty products! They make all kinds of potty training accessories including padded training pants (which will be our next purchase when we're ready to get away from waterproof...see details below for how to WIN a set of these!), potty training dolls (Patty and Scotty of course), potties, and so much more!
