You know, I've actually been pretty easygoing overall on the overly-gendered-kids-clothing thing. But I would really, really, really like to find some padded cloth training pants that aren't covered with either a) pink flowers and butterflies or b) blue sports equipment. Dammit.

ETA and c) cost less than $10+ a pair!

Would these work? They look summery...

Hm. Size fail. But these might work, even though they're marketed as being for boys. Oy.

Thanks!

2 for 12, puppies and jungle animals?

Looks like Amazon also has some gender neutral designs by Kushies brand too in your price range.

Thanks! I see dinosaurs and firetrucks, too, cool.

do you feel like paying a crazy amount of money for them? Imse Vimse are really good multi-layer-plus a water proof layer, and you can get them with farm animals, dragons, brown stripes, or logos on them. Or white. Amazon has them, 17 dollars a pair. !!! Eczema boy can't have plastic touch his skin or he gets a rash, so this was our solution because the plastic is in between the other layers. Anyway for a kid who's staying dry some of the time, these are probably more of a thing to use for sleep times.

Gerber makes nice white ones, as well as blue stripes and other less obviously gendered ones. The gerber are thin, more like regular undies with a little extra padding down the middle, good for daytimes with a kid who is able to stay dry for short periods. Also super soft and they come up high instead of being like little damn bikini/speedos.

I'm trying to find packs of all-white Gerbers, but failing. I'd even take solid pink/blue at this point. Just not those damn prints.

I get them at Target in my area...Amazon lists them, too.

Charlie fits into the 3T, so they run a little big, FYI!

Hannah Andersson makes really nice ones, $26 for three--pricey but they are very nice. Soft, full coverage. They have solids in "girl colors" and "boy colors" but the boy colors aren't, like, army green or anything - navy, red, and grey. Their prints are $28 for three and it's debatable whether the boy print is entirely gendered--monsters and robots, IIRC. I didn't look at the girl prints but HA is very into loud florals so I'm guessing the girl-print underwear will be flowery, but they have girl solids too.

Good to know they run a little big. I'll have to take a peek at Target and Hannah Andersson. Thanks!

I've got some of Simon's still -- they're patterned, but I don't remember them being strongly gendered. I'll have a look in the outgrown clothing stash tomorrow & let you know -- if they suit, I can just bung them in the mail to you.

That would be lovely. Thank you!
