Summary: 1 Stars
I read all the reviews before purchasing these training pants for my daughter and knew well in advance that they are training pants, not diaper substitutes. So, in terms of functionality, they do precisely what they are supposed to do: they create a slightly more significant barrier when accidents do happen.
The training pants are essentially constructed like this: a jersey outer, with a terry cloth inner. The crotch has four layers of extra material, one of which is a 'waterproof' layer of polyurethane laminated polyester. The elastic is fully encased in jersey cloth, and the leg holes are jersey as well. The pants, ultimately are thicker than Gerber training pants, for example, but not bulky. The do a moderately better job of containing small accidents, as one would expect.
The prints are cute and appealing to kids. The Farm Animals material is far softer than the Jungle/Zoo print, for what it's worth. Perhaps that's because the Jungle/Zoo print is bleached white, where the Farm Animal material is (perhaps unbleached?) off-white.
I did not primarily buy these as heavy-duty trainers (though that seemed a nice fringle benefit). No, I bought them because after my daughter broke out in a horrific rash after wearing Old Navy pants last year that were made in China of God-only-knows what kinds of materials, dyes and chemicals, I made the switch to Oeko-Tex 100 certified clothing for my children, with a preference to organically grown materials.
These training pants are both organic and Oeko-Tex 100 certified; meaning they've been tested for over 100 dangerous or suspect chemicals in environments that mimic wearing conditions (ie. they go through sweat tests and things of that sort). The highest standards and chemical limits are applied to baby and children's clothes which are worn directly against the skin. In theory, these training pants should have 100% gentle to my daughter's skin. And that's what I shelled out a whopping $15 per pair for.
My daughter has worn these training pants on a handful of occasions thus far, each time coming away with a widespread pinpoint rash. Does the material contain sweat that causes a rash? Is the terry inner material just irritating to really sensitive skin? Despite the certification, is there are chemical compoenent that is bothering her skin?
I don't have the answer to any of those questions. But I'm more than a little peeved. And I'm really, really disappointed. These things were expensive, and the one quality I'd hoped to attain was a training pant that didn't induce rashiness.
If you feel sure that this isn't a situation that would duplicate itself on your child and are set on buying these anyway, I would also note as well that these pants run small in the waist. My 27 lb daughter is almost too large for the 24- 31 lbs. size. They fit everywhere but the waist, which is too tight and absurdly small considering the proportions of kids this age. My daughter has baby pudge still, but is not fat. I'd recommend ordering up a size if your child is sort of in between sizes.
