EC Wear- ECA Pants Review
I was sent a pair of teeny tiny training pants by ECA Wear from EC Wear, a website where you can find products for ECing and resources to help you get started.
The ECA Pants I was sent are first off, the cutest tiniest things you have ever seen. It is so strange to see a baby without a huge fluffy butt. ECA Pants are thin enough that they don’t look like diapers, but they have enough absorbency to hold in one pee, just in case we have a miss! You can get them in snaps or velcro, and waterproof or not. Waterproof ECA Pants would be great for the baby who is excellent at ECing and who can use a public toilet. For us, the non waterproof were perfect. They allowed me to keep checking to make sure we hadn’t missed a pee, and in the one case where we did miss (I had the bath running but hadn’t put him on the potty yet in case he had to go, which he did. Water works!) the ECA Pants held in the pee without leaking down the legs. I could tell immediately that he was peeing and started making our cue “pssst.” Even though we missed, I still want him to associate the “psst” sound with going, in a diaper or on the potty.
What I have to convey to you is how easy these make ECing. Because they have an elastic band in the front, when you undo the front of the pants, just like you would a side snapping diaper, the pants stay on. Essentially, you just remove the front so that they can go, and push it to the back. When your child is done, just flip the front back up and resnap. I can even resnap him as he crawl away! Something that does not work with a diaper since it isn’t attached to him.
If you are an ECing parent, these aren’t a must have, but they do make your life so much easier! Sometimes I find myself being lazy about EC (especially for a few weeks where we took a “break” with life being so hectic) and when I think about having to take off pants, undo diaper, potty, then chase the baby while I try to put a diaper and pants back on, I get exhausted by the thought. Having an easy way to EC can certainly keep me focused on my son and his needs, even when the day is jam packed.
About EC Wear:
EC Wear LLC, based in New York City, is owned and operated by Marija, a work-at-home-mom (WAHM). Marija and her husband Chuck have been practicing Elimiination Communication with their son since his birth. Initially, their interest came out of concern for the environment and dislike of disposable diapers. Eventually, they realized the best benefit of EC was for their son’s health. At EC Wear you will find clothes in sizes newborn to 24 months that are made in USA, Canada, Europe, or Australia, fair trade, or made by women in their homes or in workers’ cooperatives. It is our priority to disclose the origins of every item we sell. Of course, nearly all of the clothing is suitable for any parents who are looking for convenience in clothing and diaper changes, whether practicing EC or not.

I love the leg warmers. I just had a little girl this summer and my other child is a 16 year old boy. I was so excited to have a girl I bought tons of cute girly dresses for I never thought I would get to do that. What I forgot is it is getting cold fast and her ittle legs will freeze since I went for cute not practical like a dork! These would let me do both
I also like the WhyMommy underpants.

I love the ECA Pants. I own about 8 pairs. 50% of which are waterproof. I vary between the two depending upon how “awake” i am for the day. If i am fairly tired I use the waterproof ones. I was at the hospital visiting a relative last week and the nurse said “ahhh, all his parts aren’t quite put together yet, are they?” She said it a couple times, finally i acknowledged i had no idea what she was talking about… she then said a bit more directly “hone his parts are hanging out of those cute undies you’ve got on him and if he pees they ain’t gonna do a world of good”. It’s definately fabulous to have “little bulk” pants, but do beware, the parts can unintentionally be exposed. The same goes for cute tushes. As an EC parent however, this has never been a problem.
Right now i’m loving them with his cold weather attire. I can’t imagine an easier way with his split crotch mama roo pants!
I’d love to try a pair of these. I’ve been drooling over them and haven’t just jumped in yet.
I like the Ocean Blue EC warmers.

I love the Bongo Baby Waterproof Trainers that she sells. I love the fact that they look and feel like undies, but hold one pee. They are nice without the snap sides because my EC baby is old enough to not poop in her undies anymore. I just need that nap-time pee protection!
