Bonus Material - Product Review

What are you wearing under there? An underwear round up.
From diapers to underwear! We have moved on to the wonderful world of the potty trained, so we now have experience with several different brands of underwear. All toddler underwear is not created equal, so we are going to share our findings.

We have only one pair of Gap underwear for toddlers. It is a nice, thick cotton fabric and there is no tag to irritate little bums. The fit is good and Natasha likes the picture on the front. I bought a large pair of these for myself, and though I found the fabric a bit too thick for my personal under-jean comfort, the fit is good.

Vibrations underwear comes in lots of different patterned fabrics from solid colours with contrasting elastic to stripes or flowers. The fabric on these is thinner than on the Gap underwear, but they have stood up to four months of wear and washing without any signs of falling apart. The fit on these is great, and the variety of patterns in a package keeps Natasha interested.

The Curious George underwear that my mom found has been our least favourite. Natasha loves the picture of George on the front, but the fit is not quite right for her. It seems like the fabric would fit properly, but the elastic around the top is consistently too tight on her waste. The fabric is similar to the Vibrations fabric in thickness and quality, but the George decal on the front has already started to crack and peel.

Another gift from Gramma is the Gymboree underwear. Unfortunately we only have three pairs of these - they are the favourites! The fabric is a nice thickness and you can feel that it is going to stand up to wear longer than the thinner fabric of other underwear. It fits well and comes in fun patterns (and provided the polka-dot model underwear for us). We will be going back to pick up more of these when we need them and as Natasha grows.

Her dad taught her to put underwear on her head.
