All y'all are lucky that you could go straight to big girl panties, we had accident issues after she started potty training and I had to buy them, it helped my daughter though, I'm hoping to skip them with my son and go straight into big boy undies, but I started buying them at 18 months, and introduced the big girl potty at 16 months.
@mathews132, that’s what I did. Went straight to panties. Didn’t waste money on them things. I did use diapers at night until they were fully potty trained though.
I started at 2,5 for my girls and 3 for my son because he is a heavy wetter if i can say so the pull ups only daytime with him and night time i use full diaper.
