I purchased No More Diapers because it's new and I thought my 2 1/2 year-old would respond positively to the animation and the free potty reward stickers. Well, I was right! Dylan loves the program and is fascinated with the stickers. No More Diapers is a delighful soft-sell introduction to potty training. It has sweet characters and fun sing-along songs. Last night Dylan had a potty success and I'm sure No More Diapers deserves some credit.

I'm not sure I would have personally rated this so great, but my 35 month old daughter can't get enough of this video and it causes her to go on the potty everytime she watches it! The first time I played it, she asked to see it FIVE times in a row before I insisted we stop watching the tv! Since then, EVERY time she has watched it, she has gone pee pee on the potty. Ok, one time she peed on the couch instead of the potty, but hey, all the other times she made it to the potty first! I checked this out from the library, but ended up buying it when I saw how much she loves it. It does disturbingly talk about how much the bear loves his diapers at first, but that does not seem to take away from how excited he is when he switches to big boy underwear instead. My daughter loved her diapers too, so I think it just helps her relate. She always laughs at that part. I highly recommend this.

First, the little bear cub starts talking about how much he LIKES his diapers. Not a bad thing, but the only real transition or inspiration he gets in wanting to wear underwear is that his neighbor and friend wears them. There's a lot more going through a 2 or 3 year olds' head than just someone else is doing it.

Second, the characters mouths don't move. It's a narration, not a cartoon so all the characters have the same voice too.

Last, there really isn't anything that's a catch phrase or song that is useable for training when the movie isn't on. Other DVDs and movies are more agressive in their training tactics.

My nearly three-year-old son watches this dvd ten times a day. He
walks around with "big boy" underwear over his diapers. I can see the diapers will be coming off soon. My favorite part is the sing-along section at the end of video so we can sing the songs together.

Its a very nice, non-pushy video about a little bear who learns to use the potty. I was a little disappointed at the animation, as the characters dont move realistically, but my daughter doesnt seem to notice. She never cared about big girl underwear before, and this dvd encouraged her to think of it as something wonderful.

I was looking for a video to spike my 2+ year old daughter's interest in potty training and this one did the job beautifully. She loves the story about the little bear and the silly songs and is now asking about a potty and big kid underwear. The video's gentle tone also complements the various potty books I've purchased for bedtime reading. I don't expect an animated video to present the same level of detail as a video with real kids so in contrast to other reviewers it doesn't bother me that the bear doesn't wash his hands(paws?). My husband and I can deliver that message more effectively anyway. This video is a nice soft sell introduction to potty training and I recommend it for that purpose.

My daughter has asked to watch NO MORE DIAPERS every day since we bought it. She now wants to wear underpants and understands that if you wear panties you need to use the potty! The video has definitely sparked her interest in potty training.
The stickers (which were included with the dvd) are a big hit too. She proudly puts them on her potty after each use.

The first 10 minutes or so talks all about how GREAT diapers are. Not good.

My son loses interest after that and tells me he wants his diapers back.

The movie is also not typical animation. It is narrated with one voice.

My 2 year old daughter loves this video. She sings the songs and knows the dialogue. I would have given it 5 stars if she was using the potty yet. For parents, the songs aren't as annoying or embarrassing when you are caught singing them the next day as with most of the other potty videos.

No More Diapers is an animated DVD for children designed to help jump-start potty training. Following the story of a little bear who gives up diapers for big kid underpants, No More Diapers includes fun sing-along songs such as "Wonderous Underous Pants" and "Congratulations March", sure to motivate little ones to take one of the first steps on the long road to growing up. 30 Potty Training Reward stickers are included with this delightful, friendly, and upbeat cartoon. 30 minutes, color.
