Reusable Cloth Diapers, 3-Pack Washable Training Pants

Reusable cloth training pants sit between nappies and underwear. They hold more than pants but less than a nappy, which is exactly right for a child who mostly makes it to the toilet and occasionally does not.

How they work

• Layered absorbent cotton that contains an accident without soaking through immediately
• Elastic waist a child can pull up and down without help, which matters for learning
• Washable and reusable, so potty training does not mean buying disposables daily
• Three in the pack, enough to cover a day with a wash cycle in between
• Suitable for a broad toddler weight range rather than one narrow size

Making training easier

The point of a training pant is that a child can manage it themselves, so let them pull it up and down rather than doing it for them. Wash before first use, as cotton absorbency improves after the first few washes. Expect to change them promptly, since they are designed to be noticed rather than to feel dry.

Questions parents ask

Are these as absorbent as a nappy? No, and deliberately so. A child needs to feel that something has happened for training to work.

Are three enough? For a day at home with a wash on, yes. Many families buy two packs so there is always a dry set.

Do they get more absorbent over time? Cotton typically absorbs better after several washes, so do not judge them on the first day.
