The transition from nappies to nothing can be daunting, this is where potty training pants come in handy! These pants are designed to help your toddler transition from nappies to big girl/big boy underwear, giving them the independence to learn while still providing some protection against accidents.
At My Carry Potty, the UK's leading potty training brand, we not only offer the most popular potty in the UK, but also award-winning potty training pants. Our pants not only serve their purpose of teaching confidence in your little one, but also align with our cute and fun designs to keep the experience enjoyable for your little one.
Why Potty Training Pants are Essential
Potty training pants are a bridge between nappies and regular underwear. They’re designed to be absorbent enough to handle small accidents but still allow your child to feel wet, which is crucial for learning when they need to go to the potty. Here’s why they’re a must-have in your potty training toolkit:
- Encourage Independence: Training pants are easy for toddlers to pull up and down on their own, which promotes independence and confidence during potty training.
- Boost Awareness: Unlike nappies, training pants let your child feel the wetness after an accident, helping them recognise the sensation of needing to use the potty.
- Support a Smooth Transition: They provide a safety net for those inevitable accidents without the bulkiness of nappies, making the transition to regular underwear smoother and less stressful.
What to Look for in Potty Training Pants
When choosing potty training pants for your toddler, consider the following factors to ensure you’re getting the best option:
-
Absorbency: While potty training pants aren’t meant to be as absorbent as nappies, they should still offer enough protection to catch small accidents and prevent leakage. Look for pants with a built-in absorbent layer that can handle small accidents.
-
Comfort and Fit: The best potty training pants should be soft to touch, comfortable and fit snugly without being too tight. Soft, stretchy materials are ideal, as they allow your child to move freely while still being easy to pull up and down.
-
Ease of Use: Your toddler will be learning to use the potty independently, so training pants should be simple for them to manage on their own. Elastic waistbands and easy-to-pull-up/down designs are essential.
-
Fun Designs: Engaging your child in the potty training process can be easier with fun, colourful designs. Pants that match their My Carry Potty can make them more excited about wearing them and, in turn, using the potty.

Tips for Using Potty Training Pants Effectively
To get the most out of potty training pants, follow these tips:
-
Introduce Gradually: Start using training pants once your child shows signs of readiness, such as staying dry for longer periods or expressing interest in the potty.
-
Pair with Consistent Potty Training: Use training pants in conjunction with regular potty training sessions. Encourage your child to use the potty regularly and celebrate their successes.
-
Keep Extra Pairs Handy: Accidents are a normal part of potty training, so keep extra pairs of training pants on hand, especially when you’re out and about. We sell our potty training pants in multi-packs of 3, 6, 9 and 12 so you're never caught short of pants!
-
Stay Positive: Praise your child for trying, even if they don’t make it to the potty in time. Positive reinforcement is key to building their confidence and encouraging progress.
