We thank you for choosing Pull-Ups and hope the potty training is going well. We appreciate the feedback on the tear away sides, but are disappointed to hear your daughter has been experiencing some absorbency issues. One solution would be to move up to the 3T-4T size. This will allow for more absorption, which will lessen the chance of leaking. We also recommend checking out our NIght*Time Training Pants. They feature the same easy-open, stretchy sides but have added absorbency to help stay consistent - day and night. You can learn more about them at http://bit.ly/1CcudMZ. We would be happy to speak with you personally and answer any questions you have. Our Consumer Care Team is here to help at http://bit.ly/8ZuAUH or by phone at 1-877-648-2484 (Monday through Friday 8:00 am - 4:00 pm Central Time). We appreciate your review and wish you all the best on your potty training journey.
