How do I know I'm buying quality Training Pants?

If you are not sure where to start this blog post will help!

Designed by a NZ Mum! Posted on 25 Nov 21:11

Almost ten years ago I noticed a gap in the training pant market. None of the pants looked or felt like normal undies, and if they did, the legs were too tight or they had no waterproofing! 

Big Kids Training Pants have now been used and appreciated by thousands of parents and caregivers tackling toilet training! 

I'm continually evaluating our pants performance and quality and also work hard on keeping the cost down. 

Here are some of the things I won't compromise on:

Having pants that look and feel like normal undies. 

Getting as much absorbency into the pants as possible, without compromising drying time, hygiene (thick seams dont wash well) and making the pants feel like a nappy.

Using quality fabrics - waterproofing that does not rustle and tear after repeated washing and absorbent layers that hold moisture well rather than using polyester filling which absorbs minimal wetness and doesn't hold it well. One of the best known brands of Training Pants in NZ uses noisy waterproofing and thin polyester fill. The difference is easy to spot.

Of course the fit of the pants is really important along with the above. Pants come in all different shapes and sizes. Heres a photo of two different brands of pants, both labelled size 2-3 This is why getting some measurements is a great idea.

If you are trying to work out whether buying a product is worthwhile there is nothing that speaks louder than word of mouth and reviews. So here is some of the feedback we have received........

These undies are so cool very happy with my purchase and such a great price for such a useful hand made nz made item STOKED thanks leilani43

Wonderful product, cannot recommend highly enough. Easy to use, wash and dry beautifully. heliatrope

These are soooo the greatest! it just takes the stress out of toilet training! highly recommend to all that are undecided! nicandmik

My son kind of fell into toilet training, he saw the (normal) undies in the draw & wanted to try them. We didn't think he would stick with it as he wasn't really ready. He stuck with it tho & my the mess & the washing! Cue Big Kids Training Pants. So helpful with information & wow what a difference. It takes a couple of washes to get to full absorption but they work great from day 1. No more puddles! He LOVEs them & I can take him anywhere without worrying about taking a mop! Since he is only 2.5 & wasn't really ready it's been slow going but today he mastered putting them on himself....& 4 days ago he wanted to wear to bed! Eek! But only 1 wet night so far!!!! I am ordering more cause they are so slim & comfy for him I don't see us using normal undies until he is much bigger! Thank you BIG KIDS TRAINING PANTS for making this mum of 3's life soooo much easier! Joslyn

These are just fantastic. Thank you so much. My daughter just loves these training pants. They are very well made and make her feel like a "big girl" while containing any "accidents" so they dont get on the carpet. Thank you so much Jenny :) salesmanager1

Fantastic little pants. Beautifully made, and look just like big boys undies. Recommended. Thanks again!! bestteddy

Great trade, excellent service. my boy loves the pants and they work really well, very pleased with them! kgm1

Excellent trade, we are thrilled to bits with these training pants. Close enough to undies that my boy still feels like a big boy but offer enough 'reassurance' to help with discouraging close calls. flossyf

Our dream for Berry Posted on 9 Mar 15:04

Big Kids Training Pants has been sponsoring an awesome 14 year old boy in Indonesia for the past two years. He writes frequently, telling us about his life.

This is done through Tear Fund, an amazing organisation who help so many around the world. Early last year we were devastated to hear that Berry's Father had died suddenly, leaving Berry and his Mum struggling to meet daily needs.

After discussing the situation with Tear Fund we found out that Berry's Mum has a dream to set up a small business so that she can support them. The total cost for this is just over $1000 NZ. So for the next while we will be donating all profits to this fund.
