I had high hopes for the flip, but unfortunately it is still really hard for him to take off and put on by himself. Part of it I think is the snug fit -- if there were a roomier size I think that would be helpful. He is about 35 pounds and it is a little tight to squeeze them on. Part of it is that he takes his pants completely off to use the bathroom. I can't change this; he does it his way. :) So I use the trainer because it's cheaper than pull ups, but what I am finding is that the same thing happens with the flip as happened with pull ups -- it contains leaks through the first part of the night, and then he gets up in the middle of the night, takes it off to pee, and then can't get it back on again, and so then goes back to sleep with no underwear under his shorts. Then, at about 6am, he pees again, this time all over the sheets. It's a dismaying problem, and I have not found a trainer that actually meets our needs for this. I like the idea of the Flip, and for a smaller or more dextrous kid I think it might work perfectly. Thanks! :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151379118317782385noreply@blogger.com
