My son is two and a half years old and he has started to figure out the potty thing. He is starting to take his diaper off and sit on the potty and actually use it. So I went and bought him some underwear so that he can be a big boy but he refuses to wear them. He only wants to wear the diapers he is still using the potty but wants to be in the diapers. So I am wondering if anyone has any advice on what to do, To get him to wear the underwear or should I just let him wear the diapers and no I have not tried pull ups just regular diapers.

We have not bought our son a potty chair yet. He takes his diaper off and uses the regular toilet. So I went and let him pick out underwear. But he wont wear them as soon as he is done using the toilet he wants his diaper back on.

You might try the Pull Ups for a short time so he can get used to putting them on and they still feel like diapers then try moving on to training pants since they are thicker than underwear. It is close to Christmas and what I did with my son at the same age was buy him underwear for Christmas with all of his favorite characters and told him we had to leave the diapers for Santa to take to another baby.

Put the diapers out of sight. He has the option to wear them and he will if you let him. Put on big boy underwear and encourage him to wear them
I was divorced when my daughter was 11 months old. When she turned 2 1/2 I potty trained her. She did so well when she was at home, but everytime she went to her dads, she came home with a diaper on.
I am not kidding when I say that kid was still wetting her pants when she was in the 1st grade. I cannot tell you the number of dry clothes I had to take to school for her. I contribute it to her dad letting her pee and poop any old way she chose. He let her wear diapers until she was almost 4 yrs old. She could not go to pre school because she had to be completely potty trained and she was having accidents all the time. She would be playing and come into the house soaked in urine.
I think once you go to underwear, you stay in underwear and not keep switching back and forth.
Of course 2 1/2 is very young, but if he is managing to go potty on the potty chair, then its time.

pull ups first, than let him chose the underwear character he likes...Mine was all Star Wars and they had to be the boxer briefs. He did not like the regular style underwear. So you need to explore with him and see which one he will be comfortable in...and then a star chart, or stickers...saying potty today underwear today...and so forth...they get a kick out of it...and calling him a big boy is VERY scarry at this age, they do not want to be a big boy!
After all else fails at 4 I had to say mommy ran out of money for diapers...harsh but it worked.
They also say not to push so hard or they will not go forward they will be in a diaper until they are ready.

It helped my son to pee standing up so he could see what was happening and connect the sensations. Pull-ups were just like diapers to him but cost more. What worked for him is The Potty Stool http://www.thepottystool.com This stool makes every toilet kid-sized. The handles on this stool make all the difference. My son and daughter potty trained quickly because they were so excited about this stool. They loved using the big toilet because they know that is what everyone uses. I like that it is sturdy and safe and got them out of diapers fast. The best part is kids use it for years. Hope this helps.

Don't buy the diapers anymore. Explain that you ran out and you cannot go to the store... or you don't have the money... or whatever excuse you can come up with that is plausable for your house.
I personally have gone with the pull-ups.... but it didn't take long for our oldest to want to wear the really cool big girl underwear. Stay strong!! I have got another one right behind your boy that is almost ready to start potty training... here we go again LOL

I would use pull ups as a transitional diaper for your son. Two year olds are VERY stubborn. Just make sure he uses them like underwear (pulling them up and down) and eventually transition him to the underwear exclusively

Rewards like toys and stickers and many others. are top notch - tons of different men and women acknowledged the ones so I would possibly not cross into it. She perhaps does not desire to quit the particular one-on-one time that includes diaper replacing. If you sing to her or inform reports or play patty cake or some thing, be certain you do it whilst she is at the potty too. Does she ever see greater youngsters utilizing the potty? If now not, prepare by some means for her to look anyone approximately her age utilizing the potty (particularly well might be a somewhat older or extra complex buddy she admires). It will make her desire to do the identical. Make definite she sees you going to the toilet too. Let her support you by means of handing you bathroom paper, and many others. Making her sit down whilst she desires to stand up will most effective create a wrestle of wills that you will not win. Pull-united states of americaare a combined blessing - they quite do not suppose the rainy pants the identical method. I placed my three 12 months ancient son in material coaching pants for the day whilst I knew we might be at dwelling and stored him off the furnishings. He hated having rainy garments! It quite helped pace matters up. Good good fortune!

Get rid of the diapers completly. If there are none in the house, there are none to wear. Put him ONLY in underwear. Skip the pull ups all together. They are just glorified diapers.
other tricks for boys: Put one square of toilet paper in the potty and tell him to try and hit the paper.

Try pull-ups. My son is also 21/2 years old and we just started the potty training. He loves his pull-ups with the movie cars characters on them. Made him a sticker chart and everytime he goes potty he gets a sticker, of course he takes the stickers off the chart, but hay he gets all excited about getting a sticker. Just take him to the store and have him pick out what pull-ups he wants, see how that works out for you. They have all kinds of fun characters on those pull-ups.
