The Charlie Banana Traning Pants. These are fantastic! They are super trim, and fit only slightly thicker than regular undies. They are organic cotton with a hidden PUL layer, so they are waterproof, comfortable, absorbant and oh so trim. I tried them on both my 35 pound 3 1/2 year old daughter (the second picture)--who is already potty trained but agreed to be a model for them--and on my 26 pound, 17 month old son (this first picture). They fit both kids well with a little bit more room to grow. I would put the weight range on these at 20-40 pounds; however, as with most diapering products fit can vary based on baby's shape as well. I only washed the training pants once before trying them out on my son and they worked great. He wore them for about two hours like a diaper under pants, and they held everything in. His clothing stayed dry and his skin felt dry to the touch after removing the wet trainer. He has worn them a little more after additional washes and they have become more absorbant and haven't leaked at all for us. We love this new trainer for daytime use on all toddlers, but it may not be aborbant enough to heavy wetters to wear to bed. The only other downfall is that the leg elastics are a little on the small side, so if your child is at the top of the weight range and has thicker thighs the trainers may be too tight around the thighs for him or her.
Another new product we have from Charlie Banana are the swim diapers. Just like the trainers they are super trim and fit great under bathing suits. But they are cute enough to wear without a suit too! They come in small, medium and large and each suit has a drawstring waistband (hidden inside the diaper) to make sure you get the perfect fit everytime.
The inside of the swim diaper is lined with a light weight cotton fabric making it more comfortable for baby then an unlined PUL diaper. What makes this swim diaper even more exciting is it has a small sewn in soaker. Just enough to protect your lap during those preswimming moments when baby is changed and ready to go but hasn't gotten wet yet. The absorbant strip helps keep accidents contained to the diaper and not dripping down their legs onto the pool deck or your lap. The absorbant strip is thin enough that it won't weigh down the diaper when wet. I can't wait for our weather to warm up so we can try these out in the pool, the bathtub trial wasn't nearly as fun.
