I never really used pullups with DS, except for when we were TTing and we were going out to a place where dealing with an accident would be a problem. He basically went from nappies to undies and I think I only ever bought one packet of pullups.

DD on the other hand is shaping up to be one of those toddlers who are a complete PITA to nappy change, she flips over and kicks and screams and wriggles tries to get away. A sample pullup was included in the last box of Huggies we bought and on Christmas Day I tried it out on her when I was full of Christmas lunch and could not be stuffed with the nappy struggle.

Oh! So much easier!

I'm thinking about having some pullups in reserve for times when she is being particularly difficult, I don't think I'd go full time because I think they are more expensive than normal nappies, am I right?

But the main thing I'm worried about is if they are as absorbent? I love Huggies and trust them absolutely not to leak on me but are the pullups as good?
