In my experience, I have RARELY seen children use pullups as underwear. To them, pullups are like diapers (the hold the pee or poop and then they get changed). For older 2's and up, children need more motivation in the bathroom. The thought of a pullup being like underwear is not enough. Some of these children need to be put in underwear and have an accident. The feeling of pee running down there leg is not pleasant and they ultimately start to understand what it feels like when they pee in their underwear.
For some children, this is all that it takes! For other children, they need a couple more accidents (I recommend 2 a day so that you are not overloaded with laundry) along with LOTS of possitive reinforcement.
