CSN Stores Review: Potty Patty Cloth Training Pants

As mentioned earlier, we've started potty training D in an effort to be rid of disposables and fight back against diaper rash which she seems particularly prone to!  Not counting a few minor setbacks (family outings and the fact that she was feeling pretty sick this weekend) we're doing very well!  Rather than going the pull-ups route, we've been putting D in these uber-cute Potty Patty cloth trainers from CSN Stores.

Potty Patty Training Pants from Mom Innovations - $3.95 / pair

I was given the opportunity to do a review on $40 worth of product of my choice from CSN Stores.  It took me quite a while to decide what I wanted!  With over 200+ stores to choose from, it seems there are an endless number of products to look at.  I certainly had options - anything from the latest kitchen gadgets to the coolest educational toys for kids.

Potty Patty Training Pants:
We have specially designed these padded potty training pants to fit loosely so that they can be pulled on and off by the toddler, without adult help. Not only does this increase the chance of getting to the potty on time, but it also makes whole process much more independent, which is the goal of this potty training system. They have an absorbent center panel that contains the accidents, but will make your toddler uncomfortable and thisefore increase her awareness of her excretory function, especially when compared to diapers and pull-ups. The potty pants feature breathable side panels, wide rib leg bands for a comfortable fit and a center panel with fiber sponge for super absorbency.

• Training Pants by Potty Patty - Cotton - Padded
• Center and side panels constructed of 100% cotton
• Interlining constructed of 100% polyester
• Machine wash in warm water with like colors
• Washing these once before using them increases the absorbency of the padding

In the end, I was glad I went with the training pants.  I chipped in a little bit extra and purchased 8 pairs, knowing we'd definitely be needing them!  D is still in the beginning stages of training, which means a lot of accidents and the need to change her often.  These are super absorbent and I found that if I managed to get to the mess quickly enough, I didn't always need to change her pants (just the underwear) - which was great, because it saves on laundry!  They're snug enough to prevent messy leaks, but have a loose enough fit that they are easy for D to pull on and off.  I find some training pants have a too tight waistband, making it difficult for toddlers to work with.  These were much easier.  The only thing I'd still like to do is to get a waterproof cover for the pants, for trips out of the house and times when we might not be so near to a bathroom.   

I was also very pleased with CSN Stores customer service.  I did not have any issues with my order, and found the shipping to be fast and reliable.  They sent a couple of email notices to let me know my order was on its way, so there was no doubt in my mind that everything had been processed and I'd receive my package shortly.
