Hi Kathy, we really appreciate you sharing your feedback on this purchase! All of our training pants go through extensive evaluations to ensure they are comfy for your Big Kid™ and because this hasn't been the case, we'd like to learn more to help. When you get a chance, please give us a call at 1-888-778-5587 (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST). We look forward to assisting you, thanks!
