Potty-Training

Potty training is not something children learn overnight. It is a new skill that develops through body awareness, practice, encouragement and plenty of patience.

Your child first needs to notice the feeling of needing a wee or poo. Next, they learn what that feeling means, remember where the potty is and get there in time. Accidents are a normal part of putting all these steps together.

Our Potty Training Pants are designed to make this transition a little easier for both children and parents.

How potty training works

Successful potty training usually develops in three simple stages:

👀 1. Notice

Your child begins to recognise the difference between feeling dry and feeling wet. They may also start noticing the signs that a wee or poo is coming.

💡 2. Connect

With calm reminders and regular potty visits, your child begins connecting those body signals with using the potty.

🌟 3. Act

Over time, your child learns to stop what they are doing, pull down their pants and use the potty with less help.

Every child learns at their own pace. Some children understand quickly, while others need more time and practice.

Is your child ready?

Age alone does not determine when potty training should begin. Look for signs that your child is becoming interested and aware.

Your child may be ready when they:

• notice or tell you when their nappy is wet or dirty;
• show signs that they are about to wee or poo;
• stay dry for longer periods;
• show an interest in the potty or toilet;
• ask to be changed after an accident;
• can follow simple instructions;
• can pull simple clothing up and down; or
• want to wear “big kid” underwear.

Your child does not need to show every sign before you begin. Readiness can develop gradually.

How our Potty Training Pants help

Our Potty Training Pants feel more like real underwear than a nappy, while offering extra protection for small daytime accidents.

Wetness they can notice

Unlike a highly absorbent nappy, the training pants allow your child to notice that they have become wet. This gentle feedback can help them connect the feeling of weeing with the need to use the potty next time.

Protection from small accidents

The absorbent layers help contain small leaks while your child is learning. This can reduce some of the stress and mess associated with minor accidents.

They are training pants rather than nappies, so they are not intended to hold a full bladder or replace overnight protection.

Easy to pull up and down

The simple pull-up design helps children practise dressing themselves. Being able to lower their own pants quickly is an important part of becoming independent on the potty.

Soft, comfortable and underwear-like

Made from soft cotton and designed for comfortable daytime wear, the pants give children the familiar feeling of proper underwear while providing a little extra reassurance.

Fun designs children can enjoy

Colourful, child-friendly designs can make the move away from nappies feel exciting. Letting your child choose their favourite pair may also help them feel involved and proud of this new stage.

Washable and reusable

After an accident, simply change your child, wash the pants according to the care instructions and use them again. Reusable training pants can also reduce reliance on disposable nappies during the learning stage.

A simple potty-training routine

Step 1: Introduce the potty

Place the potty somewhere your child can reach easily. Let them become familiar with it before expecting them to use it.

Explain its purpose using simple, positive words: “Wee and poo go in the potty.”

Step 2: Choose easy clothing

Dress your child in Potty Training Pants and loose clothing with an elasticated waist. Avoid complicated buttons, belts or fastenings that may slow them down.

Step 3: Build predictable potty times

Invite your child to sit on the potty at helpful moments, such as:

• after waking up;
• after meals;
• before leaving home;
• before a daytime sleep;
• before bath time; and
• whenever they show signs that they need to go.

Keep potty sits short and relaxed. Never force your child to remain seated.

Step 4: Talk about body signals

Help your child understand what is happening:

• “Your pants are wet. A wee came out.”
• “It looks like you need a poo.”
• “Next time you feel that, let’s try the potty.”

This is not a criticism. It is simply helping your child connect words with feelings and actions.

Step 5: Praise the learning

Notice every useful step—not only a successful wee or poo.

You might say:

• “Well done for telling me.”
• “You pulled your pants down by yourself.”
• “You listened to your body.”
• “You remembered where the potty is.”

Clear, specific praise helps children understand what they did well.

Step 6: Handle accidents calmly

Accidents are expected. Avoid showing disappointment, calling your child naughty or making them feel ashamed.

Instead, say something simple such as: “Your pants are wet. Let’s get changed and try the potty next time.”

Involving your child in changing and placing wet clothes in the laundry can support independence, as long as it is never presented as a punishment.

🎒 What to pack when you go out

Potty training does not have to stop when you leave home. Take:

• several clean pairs of Potty Training Pants;
• spare trousers or shorts;
• a waterproof bag for wet clothing;
• wipes or tissues; and
• a travel potty or toilet-seat reducer, if helpful.

Begin with short, familiar outings and show your child where the toilet is when you arrive.

💛 Helpful reminders for parents

• Keep the experience calm and positive.
• Avoid comparing your child with other children.
• Do not restrict drinks to prevent accidents.
• Make sure your child can place their feet firmly on the floor or on a step when using the toilet.
• Encourage regular handwashing.
• Expect progress and setbacks—both are normal.
• Daytime and nighttime dryness are different skills. A child who is dry during the day may still need nighttime protection.
• If your child becomes very upset or strongly resistant, pause and try again later.
• Speak with a healthcare professional if your child experiences pain, constipation, frequent accidents that are not improving or any other concern.

The right balance between awareness and protection

Our Potty Training Pants do not hide every accident. That is intentional.

They provide enough absorbency to help manage small leaks, while still allowing your child to recognise wetness. This balance supports the most important part of potty training: learning to notice the body’s signals and respond by using the potty.

Soft, reusable and easy for little hands to pull up and down, they help make the journey from nappies to independent underwear feel more natural.

Small accidents. Big learning moments.

Potty training takes time, practice and patience. Our Potty Training Pants are here to support your child through each attempt, each accident and every proud little success.
