Toilet Training Pants

Training pants are reusable cloth undies with a hidden absorbent inner. Kids feel wet immediately when they have an accident, which is the trigger that helps them learn. Pull-ups absorb everything so quickly that kids don't feel the accident, that's why they can delay toilet training by months. Training pants are designed to catch accidents while still letting your child learn.

Most Aussie families start with 4-6 pairs. That gives you enough for a full day of accidents plus the washing cycle. The Toilet Training Starter Kit includes 2 pairs free if you want to try them alongside our other potty training gear.

Training PANTS have a thicker absorbent inner, better for the early days when accidents are frequent and bigger. Training UNDERWEAR has a lighter absorbent layer, better for kids further along, where you want them feeling the wetness more. Many families use both: pants for the first weeks, underwear once they're catching most accidents.

Small fits 5-13kg (typically 12-24 months). Medium fits 13-18kg (typically 2-3 years). Large fits 18-25kg (typically 3-5 years). When between sizes, size up. The absorbent inner works best with a snug-but-not-tight fit.

Daytime use is recommended. Overnight accidents are usually too heavy for the absorbent inner alone. For night training, pair training pants with our leakproof fitted sheet and bed guard. That combo handles overnight wetting properly.

Machine wash cold, line dry preferred or tumble dry low. No fabric softener. It reduces absorbency over time. The fabric and absorbent layer are built to handle hundreds of washes. Many families use the same set for multiple kids.

Cost wise, yes. Disposable pull-ups cost $50-$80 a month at toilet training pace. A set of 6 reusable training pants pays for itself in 6-8 weeks and lasts years. Beyond cost, the toilet training outcome is better too: kids in reusable training pants typically finish training faster because they feel each accident.
