They were very stiff when they arrived and the fabric isn't very comfortable. I washed them a few times to get them to be more comfortable because my 2 year old was complaining that it was too rough on him. After washing them a few times they are already starting to fade and one of the bands has started to fray. I have to wash them often because we are still learning to use the potty and I don't think they will hold up. I would spend the extra money to get a better fabric.
