Away we ye Pull Ups!

We are done with Pull Ups!!  Actually, we have been done with pull ups for about 2 months now.  Which is a big deal since our two youngest are 4 and 2.  Woo Hoo!!  Right?!  Well....not exactly.

Both are 4 year old and our 2 year old still have bed wetting issues.  Most nights only one will have an accident, while the other remains dry.  But, if we are really lucky (insert sarcasm here) both will have wet the bed.  Basically, what this all means is that every day we are washing someone's bedding.  AHHHHH!!  I bet you are thinking, "Well, duh, go back to the pull ups then!"  But we refuse!  That's right!  My husband and I are taking a stand against the establishment called pull ups and refuse to buy any more!  Why you might ask?  Simply because we just don't want to pay for them.  So....that means that we will have to just get used to washing bedding everyday.

But, not so fast!  I discovered something very useful that has worked for us.  I ordered plastic panties online that my girls wear to bed over a pair of thick cotton training panties.  The combination has worked wonders!  The cotton panties are absorbant enough that they keep the wetness from escaping but not absorbant enough to keep the girls' skin dry.  This makes the girls uncomfortable, so they wake up and we use the potty.  The plastic panties keep the moisture locked in, allowing pajamas and bedding to remain dry.  It really works! 

Now....if only I can remember to actually put the plastic/cotton panty combo on them everynight.....
