Review & Giveaway: Dot Dot Couture Play Pants CLOSED!

Do your kids constantly wear through the knees of their pants?  Does it drive you crazy like it does me?  It seems like my daughter India has a way of wearing through her pants and making them filthy at the knees as she scuddles around all over the floor. 

I recently heard of Play Pants by dot dot Couture and was extremely curious as to how these pants worked and if they worked.  You know those non-skid dots on the bottoms of toddler pajama feet that prevent the feet from skidding and getting worn down?  Genius, right?  They should be termed frustration and owie savers.  Well, the creators of Play Pants, took those little dots and placed them on the knees of pants in cute styles and patterns.

Yes.  Let me say that again. 

Cute patterns and styles on the knees of pants provide slip resistance, keep the dirt away from the actual fabric and keep the knees of pants from being worn down.

It's as amazing as it sounds! 

How I wish I would've had these when my daughter was learning to crawl!  It would've kept her from sliding and hurting herself while crawling on our wood and laminate floors. 

The crazy thing is, kids still spend a lot of time crawling around on the floor, playing with toys, pretending to be puppies and just exploring, so my daughter, at almost 16 months of age, can still get good use out of these pants.  In fact, dot dot Couture Play Pants not only come in infant sizes, but are also sized up to 6T! 

When I first received the Play Pants from dot dot Couture, I was worried that with such wide legs, my daughter may get tripped up in them, but that wasn't the case at all! The wide legs were unbelievably adorable and unique and provided her with ease of movement.

Besides being practical, they are cute, and most of all, my daughter can move freely in them.  Here she is in the wide leg design:

I let her play in them for a day, then I inspected them to make sure they held up.  And they did!

I then washed them, and she wore them again! 

  



The bottom line: I'm very impressed not only with the style of the dot dot Couture Play Pants, but also their comfort and how easily my daughter moves around in them!  I wish they had them in my size!
