My 5 year old daughter had just got potty trained when they started advertising them, but they were not out on the market in time for us to try them with her.. she was trained by then, but now my 22 month old is really showing signs of readiness.. If anyone has used them I would love to know what you thought.. Did it make training go easier?

I call them "feel and leak" personally.
I wouldn't waste the money.
Going bottomless or using the thick training pant underwear will work better.

I just finished potty training my 3 year old daughter (I've already trained a boy). We used the feel and learn, probably a little too early for her. When I was using them, she was still refusing to sit on the potty (even though she was nearly 3). With the feel and learn, she would tell me as soon as she wet, but it didn't encourage her to use the potty and if I didn't change her right away, the wet feeling went away fairly quickly. Just putting her in panties and putting up with a few days of accidents worked much better for us.
Hope that helps!

I don't think they make any difference. Kids figure out rather quickly that they are just the same. The same goes for the cool sensation ones. Putting your kids in "big kid" underpants is the way to go and save the pull-ups for bedtime and long car rides (at the very beginning of potty training).

I really believe in pull ups and all those other types of diapers it delays potty training. Every daycare director I have talked to agrees with this.
I think parents are more attentive when they know their child is in real underwear etc.
I just used regular undies and he was done in 2 weeks. He would have his occasional accident, but it was rare. I just took extra clothes with me.

We tried them...and to be honest, they really didn't do too much good. The very first time they went in them, they felt it, but it didn't bother them and then after that, they could have cared less. I think the best way is to go by your son's signs of readiness and follow his lead...I don't think this product is very helpful - at least it wasn't for us.

they made no difference whatsoever...My daughter never even told us she was wet in them. if you are going the pull-ups route just buy whatever is on sale..same difference with any of them.. she wore pullups and finally just potty trained when she was ready..but i personally am an advocate for saving the carpet..the car..the bed sheets in the process..lol...good luck!

My son didn't feel or learn anything. And they leaked. A total waste of money in my opinion. Going bottomless or using underwear/traditional training pants (Gerber) is way better.

We tried the cool alert and it just doesn't seem to do nothing for him. I had to test it out and wet the inside of it with warm water to see if it felt cool, and believe it or not it did, however my son either liked it or just didn't care because he pee pee'd in it anyway but he would tell me after he did it. Not to mention they do seam to leak with him and you get those nasty little diaper gel gibblets all over the place, they actually break him out... so I wouldnt' recommend them.

Go with the other pullups..not the feel and learns. They hold the urine next to the skin and can easily cause a rash even if it is changed relatively quickly..Go with the standard pullups.

training diapers are just like diapers but with training diapers what they should be called are a waste of money you get only like 70 and pay about $10 or up
