Training Pants

[the_queen]

So as some of you may know, I have not only been converted to cloth for this new bubs, I have also stopped buying Pull-Ups for Vallerie to wear at night. The only time she has ever been dry in the morning was when I realised at bedtime that we were out of Pull-Ups and DH was out, so I put her on the toilet (whilst asleep!) about 3 times during the night. She woke up dry. But anyhoo... my point is this: We have switched to using cloth training pants, with a booster and lining inside, and a cover over the top (Tots Bots size 2! She's 19kg but it still fits her - just!!) It has gone well so far. So after about 3 weeks of this, I've saved myself about $20 by not buying the Pull-Ups, so I go on-line and buy a pair of Cheeky Butts AIO training pants. They've got a hemp soaker sewn inside, a front pocket for extra stuffing, and a PUL outer layer. Side snaps, but Vally just pulls it on like normal knickers. They're very "stylish", pink with sheep on it. We got it yesterday in the mail. She was veeeery excited, I was veeeeeery excited :rolleyes: so last night after bath-time we stuffed the pocket with a flannelette booster, she put it on, chose her favourite Dora PJ's and hopped into bed.
And this morning, she was DRY. For the first bl**dy time in her life, she had slept through the whole night without weeing. On the one hand, :smiliedance:. On the other, I've only just bought these pants, I want to see how they work :rolleyes: !!!

I can't beleive I'm disappointed that she woke up dry. :laughing:

That's life isn't it!
It's a good result though, well done Vally:smiliedance:
Good luck:fingerscrossed:

I'm so glad you posted this. I posted a little while ago about these pants and thought I would get some when we had used up the disposables that we had. I remembered it tonight and do you think I could remember which co. made them? I have so b*&$#y many nappy sites in Favourites now and i couldn't find what I needed. I was just about to go searching through my posts after New Posts and I found you! Yay!!.:smiliedance: ..................but.........................when I checked Cheekybuts/hemp honey the site says they have none:crying: I'll email them tomorrow.
Also, did they take a long time to arrive? I have bought a nappy off this co. on EBAY (fluke that it is the same one) and that was 2 weeks ago. They sent an email 2 days ago to say "We will post your item tomorrow". This seems a long time and they also charged registered post (they don't do regular) so it was an expensive nappy. Hmmmm.......
Not sure what to do about their feedback-I won't leave negative feedback but can't bring myself to lie either.

I'm always a bit confused when people won't leave negative feedback if their attempts to resolve a dispute meet with no satisfaction. The whole point of feedback (to me, anyway) is to be a valuable community ratings and trust system. If no one ever leaves negative feedback, the entire system becomes meaningless, and new people can get burnt over and over again for lack of warning if they don't know where else to look for customer service and product reviews.

Sal, I think mine took about a week to get here. I chose COD, because the website didn't mention that this incured an extra charge. But it did. Then, the postage charge $8.50 was charged on top of the total (ie I got charged twice for postage) so I've given her my bank details and she says she'll refund me via direct deposit. But I haven't seen that $8.50 yet..... To be honest I'm a little peeved at the customer service, or lack thereof. I'd heard that previously about this company, but I thought I'd give them a go anyway (plus they were having a sale!!)
I have also bought a nappy from them from ebay, at about the same time as the training pants, but that hasn't turned up either. I've never left negative feedback about anyone, never had the need to, but this time I think I will. Like waawa says, it's pointless if we don't. I like to check seller's feedback before I buy from someone.

But, the training pants do work!! A little small though, if she doesn't get night-dry in the next few months I think we'll have to get another pair. But the money I'm saving by not buying Pull-Ups definately pays for it! I might even get her a few pairs!!!

Sometimes they just click with staying dry at night all of a sudden.

DD#1 was just over 2 when we started TT. It took two weeks to bedry all day everyday. Then she started waking up dry, so I stopped using a double cloth nappy on her, and just had her come into my room first thing in the morning to get the nappy off and sit on the potty which I kept next to my bed for quick access. Another two weeks of that, and I gave up on the nappy. We only had 3 or 4 wet beds in total from her.

I think I'll have to leave negative feedback for Hemp honey. I purchased the nappy on the 17th March, payment was received on the 21st March and still no nappy in today's mail.
I'm going to send them an email now and ask for an explanantion.

I just checked this sellers feedback and there is 1 negative to which the seller responded with BAD PERSON. I don't want that sort of response. All their other feedback is positve-but-it is from sellers only not buyers.
I've sent them an email stating how I feel so I'll see where this takes us.

PS Lara, Thanks for the link to Ozcloth nappies!

Ebay also doesn't make you aware of previous identities and userIDs, unfortunately.
