I have a pair of Antsy Pants. When you see them in person, you can understand why they are so pricey ($25 each). They are the best for pulling up and down- the sides are very stretchy. They are very absorbent for trainers, but if you are using them as diapers and aren’t quite ptraing, they will leak after a couple hours (which is a stipulation the company warns you about). This has happened to me even with a liner in them. But, if you change them soon enough, they are great and I wish I could afford more!

Autumn, Antsy Pants™ are pull-up cloth diapers, not just trainers. They work great for any child who is up and walking, and make diaper changing much easier for kiddos who don’t want to lie down. They are great for early potty learning and EC as well, because the wicking lining feels wet for up to ten minutes and then fades to dry so the child can learn passively to associate wetness with their body’s elimination cues EVERY time they wet, not just the first time. I know of no other diaper or trainer, cloth or disposable, that has this feature unless perhaps the cold-feeling disposable ones.
If any of your children are diapered toddlers (or still wetting at night) I would love to have you give Antsy Pants™ a try for yourself.

Autumn, what did you use for Paisley during the night?? My daughter is daytime potty trained, but at night I have been putting her in pull-ups, because she doesn’t want a diaper on. I am also about to venture into just panties while out and about.

As far as Antsy Pants…. here is my review I just put on diaperpin.com I only gave them 3 stars..here’s why

These pull-up style cloth trainers are SUPER cute. I loved the look and thought they would be great. I originally bought the 4T size, but when they arrived they did not fit my almost 3 year old. So I sat it aside to use later and I bought the next size down, 2T. The 2T arrived and when I tried it on my daughter it didn’t fit well. I found that the rise was super short, it just barely covered everything. I also felt like they were loose around the waist. I let her wear them over night, with the night time insert. I was pleased when in the morning, they were still on her and they were not any leaks…and she even had a BM. I think they could be really great for some people, but I just wasn’t getting the fit I wanted.

quality – 10/10 absorbancy – 10/10 waterproofness – 10/10 fit – 4/10 size – 4/10 fabric 10/10

Has anyone had experience with “little beetle” learners?

I haven’t tried them, Jenny. We just potty trained Paisley a couple of months ago and I never saw the need for trainers. I personally don’t think they are necessary.

Has anyone tried the Antsy Pants pull ups for training? I looked around at the various options and these look awesome. Pricey, though. Of course I would want some of the most expensive ones I could find, lol. What really jumped out at me was the fact that they have a pocket for inserts and therefore can even be used overnight. I also like the trim cut and stretchy sides. My son’s not quite 2 years old yet and is showing interest in going on the potty. I figure this process will take a while so I want to get a stash of trainers that will work for both of us. My small stash of cloth diapers is wearing out fast, since I have to wash daily. I’m thinking a minimum of 6 trainers to start is essential. Would like to have 12 though, so I can skip a day on the wash!

My son is a big boy for 4. He does well during the day but he’s still in a pull up at night. Can anyone recommend a good cloth trainer for at night? Just seems silly to waste money on something he only wear at night. Thanks – oh, and he has a bladder like a camel!

Love the bummis trainers! My son can get them up and down and they’re great for out and about. They absorb the best after many washes.

Downside: poo really stains them.

Oh wow, thank you sooo much for putting together this list. My youngest is part time ECd, but we are really wanting to get working on potty learning now that he is a better communicator. One that I see that missed the list is Stellar Transitions by Little Comet Tails http://hyenacart.com/LittleCometTails/index.php?c=9&p=99675 these look so cute! I think they are new-ish, but I saw some at http://www.utopiandreams.net, and I had to hunt down the pattern. Just figured maybe they could make the list. Thanks again for putting it together
