I made some training pants for Katherine (PUL outer, so there is the waterproof barrier), but she refuses to wear them. I'd send them to you, but they'd be too small (plus, they're magenta-PUL on the outer, but totally hot with black cotton interlock on the inside!).
anyway, what I'm trying to get at (though I'm terrible at it right now!) is that yes, training pants are basically cloth pull-ups. But, you're not shelling out the $$ for disposable pants, just washing them up when needed!
Plus, you can get them with or without snaps on the side (snaps would be nice for chaning poopy diapers! I didn't make mine with snaps for now).
The advantage of using cloth trainers is that most do not come with a microfleece lining -- this is key when teaching kids that being wet is no fun. (this is why I'd discourage you getting fuzzi bunz. with the feel-dry fleece liner, I think it will delay toilet-training, but that's just me... I'd rather teach that it's NO FUN to wet your pants because it feels icky!!)

thx!!
so i don't want to use that in case my kids are too...and i'd rather not have to touch it myself since it gives me a nasty skin rash.
