OneWet Pants
OneWet Pants are training pants for EC babies and toilet training toddlers. There is sufficient waterproofing and absorbency in the crotch to protect outer clothing and other surroundings from getting wet, but the inner layer of the pants feels wet after a little accident. The comfortably snug elastic around the legs confines any larger mess.
The outer layer of OneWet Pants can be made from snuggly soft polar fleece or cool cotton interlock. Other fabrics, such as PUL or wool, can be used upon request. For more details about the features of these pants, see the bottom of this page.

Classic OneWet Pants
The classic style of OneWet Pants is a pull-on training pants with sufficient absorbency in the crotch to hold one wetting. The cut is neat and trim around the elasticised legs and the pants fit snugly around the hips and nip in under the waist. If you would like a high-rise style right to the waist, please request it specifically.
These OWP are made with a polar fleece outer for extra protection against wicking into clothing in the event of an accident. Polyurethane laminate is used for waterproofing in the crotch section. This can be left out if you prefer non-waterproof pants.
OneWet Pants in classic style - $19.00
Extra layer of hemp - $1 per pair of OWP (check quantity)
Side snap OneWet Pants
As in the classic style, these training pants are made of fleece fabric with a sewn in absorbent core of towelling topped with soft cotton flannelette with an enclosed PUL water-proof layer. The waist and legs are elasticised for easy pulling down and up.
Polyacetal resin snaps at waist and hip enable you to undo the pants at the sides if required.
As you can see the side snap OneWet Pants have the same trim fit as the classic style.
OneWet Pants with side snaps - $20.00
Extra layer of hemp - $1 per pair of OWP (check quantity)
Cotton outer OneWet Pants
(previously known as Summerweight OneWet Pants) are made in the same style as the classic OWP. Because of the finer hand of the fabric, these pants are a sleeker fit than fleece OWP. They consist of two layers of 100% cotton interlock with enclosed inner waterproof PUL and a layer of cotton towelling for absorbency. Upon request hemp or microfibre can be used for absorbency.
The PUL layer prevents puddles on the floor, however moisture may wick into the cotton body of the pants. The two layers of these pants are generally made in contrasting coloured fabrics for a sporty look.
Select sewn sides or side snapping style (further below).
Classic Cotton outer OneWet Pants with sewn sides - $19.00
Features
All styles of OneWet Pants have the following features:
* soft 100% cotton inner layer against the skin in the crotch area (or suedecloth if you choose a feel dry surface)
* a fully enclosed waterproof layer of PUL in the crotch provides protection from embarrassing waterfalls and puddles on the floor (unless you prefer no PUL)
* fully elasticised waist and legs for ease in pulling down and up
* made to measure for perfect fit for any size of baby and toddler
Construction
Classic, Side-snap and DropFlap OneWet Pants have a sumptuous fleece outer body - as fleece does not absorb moisture, there is little danger of wicking into other clothing but they should still be changed as soon as possible after an accident to help the child to stay dry. Any of these styles can also be made with PUL outer for a trimmer training pant, however this is not as soft, cuddly or underwear-like.
Cotton outer OneWet Pants have a double layer of cotton interlock in the body, rather than fleece. Consequently they are cooler in hot weather, but will also wick into outer clothing if not changed shortly after an accident.
Sizing
All Noonee Wilga training pants are made to measure from premmie and newborn to extra-large sizes, which means that there is no difficulty in fitting a particularly skinny or chunky infant.
To ensure good fit, I request measurements of the child's waist, hip, thigh and straddle/rise (from belly button, down between legs and up to centre back waist). Young children move a lot so can be very difficult to measure easily so further information about the age and approximate weight of the child helps to confirm the measurements. Details of where to measure are given here.
Fabric choices
These training pants can be made using fleece, PUL, wool or cotton outer fabrics. Have a look at my range of fabrics to make your choice. If you are not sure what you should choose, email me and I can help you decide.
Refer to How to Order Noonee Wilga gear which has a diagram showing where to measure, in case you are uncertain. If you have a special request for a different style or fabric etc, please contact me to discuss.
