Can you toilet train with pull ups?

[PlonkeeMumma]

The pullups certainly stopped any messy accidents but as quite a few other said Oscar just used them as a nappy and wouldn't bother going to the loo/potty if he had one on and would just sit in it, wet, all day if i let him! From the comments here they seem to be more effective for girs than boys - wouldn't have a clue why that would be. Oscar only clicked when i bit the bullet and put him in jocks and he's only had very few accidents - but then he was over 3 and we'd been trying for 6 months!

Good luck with Seth, sounds like he's ready to get started

We found pull ups ok if only used occasionally - ie. if we were going to the supermarket or somewhere that it would be a major pain if she had an accident.
If we overused them they just became like nappies and totally pointless.
Whenever she had pullups we had to make a huge deal of her using the toilet and not the pull up, and keep their use to a minimum.

Cai, I say go the undies. I know it is tricky if you are going to be in a workplace, but from what I haev seen and heard of Seth he is a fast learner.

Even Charlie only had a few accidents (less than 5?) in jocks before he "got it".

We did a week at home with jocks on (nappies for bed) and by the Wednesday he was done.

It really sounds like Seth is ready.....& if they are ready, it seems to be quick......

Good luck!
