Okay, I'm spending a bloody fortune on Pull-Ups. So much for the *Toilet Training in Less than a Day* thing. :lol: We switched to sposie pull-ups because:
a. we were staying with the ILs for a few months and I didn't want to deal with the weirdness of trying to wash in their washer, esp. since they're anti-cloth (despite having used cloth on both their children :rolleyes: )
and
b. I was thinking it wouldn't be worth investing in cloth trainers, because it wouldn't take that long to teach the potty. :lol2:

We're not staying with them anymore, and we're nowhere NEAR done with potty learning, so I'm thinking hard about switching back to cloth. We've tried the Gerber ones, but they don't work well for Katie. I have one Imse Vimse trainer that seems to fit her well, but don't really know if that's the best fit for her. (They're one-size, and already a little snug in the thighs. I want them to slide up and down easily so she can learn to do it herself.)

Any suggestions? Also, how many would I need? I'd wash every night and put her in a pull-up overnight, because we're still co-sleeping and I wouldn't want to deal with leakage issues that would inevitably be there if they fit loosely enough. (I guess I could put her in cloth diapers overnight, though, too, couldn't I?)

I used MOE Trickle Free Trainers and Overnight Undies with Morgan. Although they're pretty pricey, I sold them for pretty close to what I paid for them after we were finished with them.

Bummis also makes a really good cloth trainer that's sized as well. The MOE and Bummis have a less underwear-like fit, though, than the Imse Vimse Bumpy's.

I've only used MOE's Overnight Undies, as dd is still needing help at night. They are great for full night time pees. They haven't leaked on us!
