Customer Reviews of Imse Vimse Training Pant Small Animal Farm (24-31 lbs)XL
Customer Review: Fabulous product!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought these for potty training my 21-month old son. He consumes between 48-60 ounces of water a day, and they do contain the urine quite well with no leaks as long as you are paying attention to your child and change them if/when they become wet (as you should be during the toilet training process). No, they do not have diaper-like absorbency, but that isn't the point of a training pant.
These are a little more expensive than some of the other brands, but they are sleek enough and soft enough to double as everyday underwear later on. Therefore, you will definitely get your money's worth. The organic cotton is second-to-none and the designs are adorable. I am generally very hard to satisfy, but I could not be more pleased with this product!

Summary: 4 Stars
We own 6 pairs of Imse Vimse training pants, some in the small size and some in the medium. They are cute, they are not too bulky, and they launder well. In bad news, they don't contain the pee. These would be ideal trainers for a child who starts to release and then rushes to the potty. If you're looking for something that will keep the pee off of your floor or bed sheets, I'd recommend looking elsewhere or buying waterproof covers. We bought 4 Gerber waterproof covers, which we have to put over our Imse Vimses at sleep times. (We use regular "big kid" underwear at all other times). If we didn't already have the Imse Vimses, we would either go the cheap route and buy Gerber locally or we would order Motherease trainers which have a little bit of waterproofing on the outside, but are still nice and soft (we have one pair of them and know we like them). When your child is awake, though, it's BETTER not to use any waterproofing 'cause you need to know instantly when your child has gone, so you can work on getting them to the potty quickly. And with that unsolicited potty training advice, I close my review.Customer Review: Not for Children with Sensitive Skin (Despite Organic/Oeko-Tex 100 Certification)
Summary: 1 Stars
I read all the reviews before purchasing these training pants for my daughter and knew well in advance that they are training pants, not diaper substitutes. So, in terms of functionality, they do precisely what they are supposed to do: they create a slightly more significant barrier when accidents do happen.
The training pants are essentially constructed like this: a jersey outer, with a terry cloth inner. The crotch has four layers of extra material, one of which is a 'waterproof' layer of polyurethane laminated polyester. The elastic is fully encased in jersey cloth, and the leg holes are jersey as well. The pants, ultimately are thicker than Gerber training pants, for example, but not bulky. The do a moderately better job of containing small accidents, as one would expect.
The prints are cute and appealing to kids. The Farm Animals material is far softer than the Jungle/Zoo print, for what it's worth. Perhaps that's because the Jungle/Zoo print is bleached white, where the Farm Animal material is (perhaps unbleached?) off-white.
I did not primarily buy these as heavy-duty trainers (though that seemed a nice fringle benefit). No, I bought them because after my daughter broke out in a horrific rash after wearing Old Navy pants last year that were made in China of God-only-knows what kinds of materials, dyes and chemicals, I made the switch to Oeko-Tex 100 certified clothing for my children, with a preference to organically grown materials.
These training pants are both organic and Oeko-Tex 100 certified; meaning they've been tested for over 100 dangerous or suspect chemicals in environments that mimic wearing conditions (ie. they go through sweat tests and things of that sort). The highest standards and chemical limits are applied to baby and children's clothes which are worn directly against the skin. In theory, these training pants should have 100% gentle to my daughter's skin. And that's what I shelled out a whopping $15 per pair for.
My daughter has worn these training pants on a handful of occasions thus far, each time coming away with a widespread pinpoint rash. Does the material contain sweat that causes a rash? Is the terry inner material just irritating to really sensitive skin? Despite the certification, is there are chemical compoenent that is bothering her skin?
I don't have the answer to any of those questions. But I'm more than a little peeved. And I'm really, really disappointed. These things were expensive, and the one quality I'd hoped to attain was a training pant that didn't induce rashiness.
If you feel sure that this isn't a situation that would duplicate itself on your child and are set on buying these anyway, I would also note as well that these pants run small in the waist. My 27 lb daughter is almost too large for the 24- 31 lbs. size. They fit everywhere but the waist, which is too tight and absurdly small considering the proportions of kids this age. My daughter has baby pudge still, but is not fat. I'd recommend ordering up a size if your child is sort of in between sizes.
