My daughter used to be cloth diapered so I am very iffy about disposables. I was pleasantly surprised with these tho. I have tried different brands of training pants and these have worked the best.
My first attempt of training pants were cloth. My daughter is two and a half and pees quiet a bit. needless to say she peed through the cloth diapers every single time. Very frustrating.

My second attempt were pull ups. Didn't leak (yay) however I could tell they did not feel too well on my daughters bum. It feels like plastic and my daughter kept pulling on it.

I bought a box of easy ups and so far they are the best. They absorb well and feel a lot softer than most other brands. The only thing I really do not like about them (or any disposable diapers) is the strong smell. They do smell a lot like plastic.

I will stick with this brand tho until my daughter is potty trained which hopefully will be soon....
