Second hand, but I've heard that diapers can delay potty training because they keep things drier so it's less noticable.
A couple tips I've seen around the internet:
Put on regular underwear underneath the diaper so wetness is felt more but contained.
Make a bed lasagna. Mattress protector, sheet, protector, sheet. That way when there are accidents you can just rip off the top 2 layers, put it in the wash, and go to bed still protected for round 2.
Ditto on layering the bed. When we started potty training we did away with diapers entirely. I think it took maybe 4 days before they went a day without accidents (not that there weren't any over the next few weeks).
Awesome. Thanks folks.
