I got my 28 month-old daughter potty trained using the no-diaper method. Soooo... now when I try to put her "big girl" training panties on her she just takes them right back off. Also, I don't think she understands that she's not supposed to go pee-pee in them... even though I tell her not too. I want her to learn that she needs to call mommy or daddy and pull her panties down and sit on the potty. I'm running out of ideas on how to get her to do this. HELP!!! :-)

Give her a small present every time she goes in the potty.
The present could just be something small, such as a quarter, or a small snack she likes, like a few m&ms, chocolate chips, a handful of her favorite cereal, etc.

I believe the no diaper method trains the parents, not the child, right? (Speaking as someone who essentially used it because it was so healthy for the babes not to have their diaper area skin covered up so much.)
If she doesn't understand that she isn't to pee in panties, she's not 'toilet trained.' She has to be in on it, mentally, to be choosing it. She has to care about it and she has to have the muscle control for it.
Has she given you all the signs that she's ready?
It can be motivating to children to see other kids use the potty on their own. If she had an older cousin or friend who was using the potty, being aware of this is in a positive way can make her want to participate this way.
There are fun books on going in the potty. have you read her those? Is she interested?

Don't use Pull-ups or any other diaper-like training pants. Take her to the store and let her pick out some real big-girl underwear... like the ones with Dora or Strawberry Shortcake, etc. Let her wear them. She might pee through them, but she'll notice, unlike with Pull-ups- and she won't like it!!! Go back to the "once an hour" method and get her used to pulling down her new underwear and sitting on the potty. Praise her heavily when she does go pee in the potty while wearing the underwear. We used stickers that matched the undies. She might want to tell you if she needs to go before her scheduled time so she can get her sticker.

She might not like the way trainers feel, they might feel bulky and such. What she wears also helps. Easy on and off pants, they can pull up and down, with out help. Girls have dresses. I think, for my daughter, it made her more aware. If i can remember correctly, the stream down her leg to a collected pool of pea, on our floor, most likely help that transition move along faster. I remember her potty training go quite fast!.

you need to let her rrun around naked, i know it sounds funny, but thats the only way they learn to know they have to go pee in the potty, when they have those trainning pants on all they do is get distracted, pee in them, and its pretty much like a potty seat on hand.. they need to have nothing to pee into, not even underwear, just a free world, trust me, this got both my kids to potty train by 18 months... and its worked for every parent i have told... most just dont want their child to run around bottomless, but when your at home, doing nothing, thats only how they will learn... and then they will eventually find the big kid panties cool and fun to wear...

i in my view picked an afternoon and took away all diapers. so as that meant that I had to be waiting for something. we've had one twist of destiny (between the frozen nutrition aisles on the food market) I delivered the previous burp clothing and made her wipe the cut back to rubble, then she and that i walked to the restroom the place I replaced her. as quickly as we get someplace I ask her if she has to circulate potty. We talk approximately how everywhere we circulate there is often a potty she would be able to apply. so some distance so sturdy. She quite did greater beneficial as quickly as we've been out than as quickly as we've been at abode.

use regular underwear and a skirt. Or she just might not be ready. You're the adult, make her keep her underwear on, like you'd make her sit at the table to eat.
A friend of mine kept a box of smarties in sight on a shelf in bathroom. Her difficult to potty train daughter got one for peeing, two for pooping in the potty. Worked like a charm for her.
You are limiting her water and putting her on the potty when it should be time for peeing and leaving her sitting on it for a while right? Not LEAVING her, but letting her stay there, its a good story time.

Tell her that only big girls get to wear them. If she still soils it then punish her in a not horrible way. tell her to sit in the corner for five minutes. What my mom did is she made a chart and bought some stickers and everytime I went to the bathroom on the toilet I got to put up a sticker. Then when I filled in ALL of the boxes I got to go to disneyland.

I thought my daughter would never wear "big girl" pants. She would scream and cry when I put them on her. She ripped them off while telling me NO.
I just let it go. I did not force her. She eventually realized what they meant and put them on herself.
Good luck!
