What are Training Pants?

August 4, 2009

Training pants help in potty training your child. Training pants are:

  • NOT diapers; they are designed to aid in the potty training process
  • great for containing leaks, but don’t mask the wetness
  • designed for child who are ready to start heading for the potty, such as the ability to:
    • Follow simple instruction
    • Understand words about the toileting process
    • Control the muscles responsible for elimination
    • Express a need to go verbally
    • Keep the diaper dry for 2 hours or more
    • Get to the potty/ toilet, sit on it and then get off the potty
    • Pull down the diapers, training pants or underpants
