So, has she been consistently going in the potty and is just now starting to have accidents? Don't know if you are interested, but - I don't use pullups at all. We go from diapers to underwear. I start training them when they are starting to keep their diaper dry between changes and have shown an interest in toileting. I work from the beginning having them pull down their pants and remove diaper and get on the potty with as little help from me as possible. Since the parents are usually working with me on potty training, I first have them try undies at home over a weekend and see what kind of success they have. If they are having success, then I begin with undies and see how it goes. If there are problems right away with accidents, we go back to a diaper - since that isn't sanitary for the other children. But, if it is just accidents every once in awhile, we keep plugging along with undies.
