Where to Find Tiny Panties?

My daughter who is only 15 months old is wanting to potty train. She has the concept and uses the potty with success and even tell us when she has to go potty. I was in no way prepared for this! I bought the potty chair to start introducing the idea to her and she ran with it! I've been there and done that I can't even count how many time in my 15 year history of doing childcare but I can't recall having anyone so small potty training before.
My question is where do I find affordable tiny panties? I can't find any smaller than 18 mo - 2T and my little one is still wearing 9 to 12 months pants. Those training pants fall straight off her buns! She barely fills in her size 3 diaper and only weighs about 18 pounds.
So I'm guessing with the moms that do EC, maybe they would know where to get smaller underpants. I'm not even opposed to using the thicker, padded training pants until she fits into regular little panties but haven't been able to find them in a smaller size either. (lol, I have to say I'm giggling as I go, I have 3 OLDER boys and every time I type "panties" it just feels strange.)
Help! My daughter HATES her diaper and always has!

What can I do next?

My youngest daughter was 2 when she trained, but she is quite petite. She, also, was in a 9-12 mo when she trained. I found some at target that were 12 month size... they were even in Dora, which she adored. They weren't too expensive, if I remember correctly. I think they were about $7-8 for 3. Yeah, it was more than it should have been, but it was worth it to have her out of diapers and then to not have her panties fall off of her when she wore a dress. lol

The internet is a good idea too. :o)

Good luck!

My daughter is very tiny too. She's only 13 months old and barely 17 lbs (and no hiney...poor girl had no chance in that department with me and her dada!). I got her some training pants so that she would have something less bulky to wear and "air" out a bit in since I have her in cloth diapers. The ones I got were the Gerber training pants (with the thick middle panel) that I honestly found on accident at Big Lots, but know they're available lots of other places. Not sure if you have tried them yet. They came in a 3 pack and were the 18 mo size...I was surprised that they stay up just fine on her and if she really needed to were them they would work well. I like them also for the thickness so if she does potty there isn't a mess on my floor...my whole intention for putting them on her! :)

Good luck with the training...that's AWESOME!!!

that is awesome! my daughter started requesting the "potty" at 18 months and i have to say she just got it. hope it's that easy for you too. although my daughter was a bit bigger, i found some of the hanes brand panties in 2T to be really small. she grew out of them before the trainers or other types of 2t. good luck!
