so i'm about to start training my almost 2 year old..she's ready! she tells me tee tee when she goes in her diaper and hides when she does number 2.. she's ready! lol!

So my question is, is it better to TRAIN in diapers or pull ups? Does it REALLY make a difference? PULL UPS ARE SO EXPENSIVE FOR SUCH A SMALL PACK!!! I thought about training her in diapers but I wanted to get some motherly advice before I went through with that...

And any other tips or stories on training would be GREATLY appreciated by the way!!!

Underwear during the day, pullup or diaper at night( I would start with diaper at night, much cheaper) pullups are too much like a diaper IMO.

i agree with the other posters if we were potty training right now we would do undies but we use pull ups cause we arent training yet

I bought Cool Alerts thinking they'd help. They didn't & were really absorbent. So to save money I'd say use diapers. If she's ready then I wouldn't think she'd have too many accidents anyway. My son told me when he was ready about 3 weeks ago & only had about 2-3 minor accidents, 2 of which were #2. Anyway, I put a Pull-up (mom bought them) or a diaper on when we go to certain places & at night AND he's only peed in them once. So if she's ready it shouldn't be an issue.
