try using the potty training underwear for naps on the big day; however, if you are concerned about her sensitive skin, I would suggest a pull - up - but in a different brand - because she is all grown up and now only wears underwear - and then the pull up goes on just before nap and comes off right after the nap - most of us urinate within a few minutes of waking up and you don't want to give her the opportunity to go in the pull up because it causes confusion - so try to remove it before she urinates and try and have her urinate in the potty.
