These are great for helping potty train little boys. We never used pull-ups. We potty trained my son in about two weeks switching from cloth diapers to these, cold turkey. I looked into cloth training pants but I decided that I didn't want to go that route. I didn't want something that would keep him comfortable with being wet like diapers [and pull-ups] do. I was hoping these would absorb some of the mess of accidents. They do, but pee still goes right through them. They are really much better for #2 accidents. I really feel like these helped potty train my son so quickly because he felt when he was wet and didn't like it. He learned quickly that he needed to pee in the potty otherwise he would be wet and uncomfortable.

I also really liked that these do not have an elastic waistband. They were very very easy for my 2 year old to pull up and down completely on his own. Most toddler underwear has an elastic white waistband that my son had trouble with. These worked perfectly.
