I am delighted with these pants; my son is still in the early stages of potty training and despite having lots of accidents, keeps on asking to wear "big boy pants". In his training pants I am happy to take him out and about (and indeed let him run around at home) with no risk of puddles on the floor/wet shoes etc. They don't hold massive amounts of wee but he knows straight away if he has an accident and the training pants mean we usually only have to change pants, and sometimes trousers. It has helped me feel a lot more relaxed about potty training and continue life as normal, without feeling like we have to stay at home, or dreading accidents when we are out and about. They fit snugly around the legs (and they need to), wash well and dry surprisingly quickly on a radiator.
