Reusable Potty Training Pants

Reusable Potty Training Pants

All children will need some form of potty training pants while they learn to make the transition from nappies (disposable nappies or reusable nappies) to normal underwear. Potty training pants support their learning and save the child from embarrasing puddles when they have an accident.

Reusable potty training pants have the advantage over disposables that they truly keep the child feeling wet. This wet feeling of reusable pants helps the child associate going to the toilet and supports their training.

Pants to Start Potty Training

You'll find the best potty training pants at The Nappy Lady, no need for disposable pull ups and avoids wet underwear. Our training pants support your child's journey from nappies to undies

When your child is ready to potty train there is a wide variety of reusable training pants available from young toddlers who have just started potty training up to bid kids or teenagers who still wet the bed at night.

Cloth pants have a hidden water resistant layer, stretchy waistband, they come with an inner pad offering a variety of absorbencies. Reusable nappy pants are much better to potty train with as the child's skin will feel wet which helps the toilet training learning curve to becoming dry.

Reusable training pants lead to potty training success.

How many pairs of pants do I need?

How many trainer pants you need varies depending on the age of your child and where they are on their training journey.

Some families only need a couple of pairs for when inevitable accidents happen while others need ten pairs as little one has an accident every time. Consider how many accidents your child is having each day and go for that amount.

It's always wise to have a few spare pairs too.

Will putting a pull-up over underwear help potty training?

Generally we recommend avoiding putting a pull up nappy (reusable or disposable training pants) over underwear as to the child it will still feel like they are wearing a nappy. However if you are in a situation or place where you can't afford for there to be an accident you could do this to give yourself reassurance but we'd only recommend you do it occassionally.

If you are at the start of potty training an idea to help the child feel wet is to add in a reusable cloth booster into their nappy to bypass the dryfeel of the disposable or if your reusable nappy has an inbuilt staydry liner.

Night Time

For night time you will need a higher absorbency trainer pants.

For some children even while they are dry in the day they require super absorbent night nappies for some time. The Mother-ease Bedwetters are perfect for the still heavy night wetter.

For those that are beginning to become drier at night consider the Bamboolik trainer pants where you can vary the inner pad to match your child's needs. Bamboolik comes with stretchy sides to help the child pull up and down as required.
