Greater than one weekThese are wonderful, they hold a nice amount of liquid accidents to not require frantic clothing changes and makes potty training better for us as my daughter can now tell shes wet (unlike the diapers/pull ups which I think pull too much moisture away). My daughter is a very petite preemie for her age, she is 2 and the 18 months are still a little too big but take into consideration she wears a 12 pants normally so these fit around a perfect 18 months in my opinion. I have not noticed the leg holes being different sizes and we have 11 pairs (the blue/pink and the plain white). They also wash relatively well. Just make sure to wash them soon after an accident because the scent can linger in the material it seems.

> 3 dayReally really like these training pants. They are so soft. My daughter loves wearing them. I really didnt want anything that had plastic lining in them. As other reviews stated, it wont prevent a leak but it will help prevent a huge mess. I got the 18 month size. My daughter is 23 lbs and is 20 months old. She tends to run on the petite side but usually fits 18mo size clothes. So I feel like they run a little big. Im glad they run large instead of small though. At least she has some growing room. I would buy them again.

Greater than one weekI am absolutely in love with these training pants. First, let me tell you what they are not. These are not something that will catch all potty/other stuff if your daughter wets her pants. They are not designed to act as if they are a diaper. They are panties. They are slightly thicker in the center to help catch SOME urine if your child starts to wet her pants. They are incredibly soft. Like, so soft I wish they made these for adults (without the center thick part). I purchased these to help my daughter potty train and have found then very helpful. I like that she feels if she wets herself, as it helps teach her that she just peed. In my opinion, diaper training pants are effective because the child cannot feel when they have an accident, thus, I like these a lot. Also, my daughter will request these now even over her character underwear because of how soft they are and how easy they really are to pull on and off. She loves them. I agree with other reviewers that these do run large. My daughter is very petite and small, and I could have ordered down a whole size. However, at just six months younger of a size, they fit well with room to grow. I strongly recommend these, just know what you are getting before you purchase them! They really are a great training panty, not diaper.

> 3 dayThese are great. The leg holes are small - perhaps even too small for a child with very chunky thighs, but my kid has extremely skinny thighs, so its great that these wont be riding up from the sides. There is some padding, and although it doesnt seem like it would do much to soak up the wetness, these seem like the best option for potty training since you want your child to feel that theyve wet themselves. For size reference: I had to order a size 18 months for my 2.5 year old and though she hasnt tried them on yet, they look like they will still have some room for her to grow. She is very petite, aroubd 24 lbs which is I think somewhere around 10th percentile for weight. She is especially tiny around the waist area. Her size 18M leggings currently fit her as ankle/capri leggings and almost all 2T pants are loose around her legs (but for her height, sadly, I cant size down with pants). So I knew I would need to size down with underwear and based on the size of the 18M, 2T would have been way too big for her. If your kid has an average weight, Im sure the regular size would fit just fine.

> 3 dayMy kids love these and work well. Clothing could still get wet but not the furniture.

> 3 dayGerber products always seem to fit small compared to other companies of the same size, but it works well for me as I have a small little girl. She is 19 lbs at 14 months. We are starting to potty train a little early (because shes ready) and was having difficulty finding some undies that would fit. The 18 mo size says 24-28lbs and, like I said, my daughter is 19lbs and they fit almost perfect. They will probably fit fine for several more pounds, but I doubt a 28lber would be comfortable in them. As far as how they work. I was holding my daughter on my hip...she only had the training pants on. I felt my hip get a little warm, I quick lifted her up and her undies were wet, but my shirt was completely dry! So they did the trick! She realized she was going and my clothes stayed dry!

Greater than one weekIm writing this review purely because I want to endorse previous reviewers size warnings. My 22 month old is about 23 pounds and 33 inches tall, so shes pretty lean. I read reviewers confirming a perfect size for their kids (around the same stats) in the 18M size and this worked perfectly. They are incredibly soft (I wish I had some hahahaha...) and the fit is so unbelievably comfortable. Like a comfy soft cozy boy-cut short. The rise isnt too high, the elastic is soft and not scrunchy or tight. The elastic itself is wide as pictured but it is very forgiving and soft, not restraining. Leg openings are comfortable and the binding is still soft as a cloud! Bought 2 packages of these for potty training for nights/naps and I couldnt be happier!

> 3 daySo much glitter! It comes off on everything. If you put the underwear in a bucket of soapy water for a few days the glitter glue comes off in the wash.

Greater than one weekThese not only leak, they are no more absorbing than just regular underwear. Plus they are bulky, ride super high and are ugly. Yet dont help avoid leaks. Terrible purchase. Waste of money. Pretty disappointed coming from such a big brand name.

> 3 dayThese came in a vinyl package, and they absolutely reeked of the harsh chemicals in it. I had to wash them about 7 times before it wasnt noticeable, and more before it was completely gone. I recommend buying these; http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006OE22MA/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (The Gerber Training Pants (6-pairs) here on Amazon) as they did NOT come in the vinyl packaging and did not reek of nasty chemicals. It also says they are 100% cotton, but it is worth noting for especially sensitive little ones, that within the absorbent center panel is some kind of artificial sponge. It did not seem to affect my little one though. They are holding up pretty well, though as with anything with elastic in, you dont want to expose them to too much heat - air dry them if you can. I think one has a small hole in the top of one of the waistbands, but that is after 9 months of pretty intensive use. (And being washed with nap and bed time cloth diapers.) For those of you ECing (Elimination Communication) I started using the 18 month size when my daughter was just 18lbs, and they held themselves up rather well, even though she has a pretty skinny butt. Now that they are a little well worn they wouldnt stay up if she was still that small, but shes not so thats OK. They do absorb a fair amount - my daughter learned to control her bladder very well so that she would let out just enough to wet the panties but not leak through - sneaky! And they work well enough under fleece pants as night training panties for a light wetter/a child that is trying to hold it. They dont hold too much though, they do teach toddlers what emptying your bladder will do, they just soak up enough to make less of a mess. Overall I am very satisfied with the product itself, I just wish they wouldnt use such horrible packaging.
