Children become capable of mastering the “pottery wisdom” after a year and a half. It is believed that previously their nervous system is not yet formed enough so that the baby can control the processes of urination and defecation. But closer to two years, the kids feel the urge to go to the toilet and can tolerate a little - it's time to do the potty training. It is simply impossible to refuse diapers right away, therefore, special panties are useful for mothers to help teach the child to potty - a transitional link between disposable diapers and regular underwear.
Operating principle
The essence of using this item is that, firstly, the baby develops the skill of removing and putting on panties, and secondly, some panties are designed so that they have a waterproof layer only on the outside, keeping dry clothes and the space around the baby. Inside, these panties do not have an instantly absorbent layer, so the baby feels discomfort. He needs this feeling in order to understand for sure why you need to do “these” things in a pot. It is this feeling of discomfort that prompts the child himself to seek a solution to the problem.
What are they
There are several types of panties for accustoming to the pot. Each of them has its own characteristics and recommendations for wearing.
- Disposable diaper panties. These are “siblings” disposable diapers, fundamentally different clasp and method of donning. Instead of Velcro, they have a wide elastic band, and you need to wear them like regular panties. The principle of absorption for diaper-panties is the same as for ordinary disposable diapers, so they are suitable for the initial stages of development of the pot. With the help of these panties, we teach the child to take off and put on a new kind of underwear for him. Disposable panties are made taking into account the characteristics of the floor. The fact is that for boys and girls it is more reasonable to arrange the absorbent layer differently because of their anatomical features. You can buy such panties in any supermarket, since they are in the product line of almost all manufacturers of baby hygiene products.
- Reusable panties with absorbent liners. Outside, these panties have a waterproof layer, so moisture does not go beyond them. Inside, a liner is inserted into the panties, which absorbs moisture, but does not hold it inside with a gel. After the baby has peeed, the liner needs to be changed, and after a three-time replacement - replace the panties themselves. Panties and inserts need to be bought in a ratio of 1: 3, panties themselves will be enough 4-5 pieces per day. Panties themselves are not very cheap, but many mothers still come to the conclusion that using them is more economical than disposable diapers.In addition to financial savings from such shorts, there is another effect - the child begins to understand that when wet - he is not happy, and gradually comes to the conclusion that it is better to ask for a pot.
- Multilayer panties. Ordinary panties, in some places having additional layers of fabric in order to slightly retain moisture. They are not waterproof from the outside, but in the case of misfire, they mitigate the consequences a little. Due to the multilayer nature of such panties, the child can be hot, so they are better suited for the cool season. It is most reasonable to use them when the baby is already walking on the potty, but sometimes he can be distracted, forget and do his thing in pants.

We read further on the topic of potty training:
Such panties are necessary for the child and you should not save on them, otherwise, you will not be able to accustom him to the pot for a long time! I bought such panties for my child and he got used to it quite quickly!
Good day. I understand they can be washed ?! And how often should they be washed, or rather buy from a couple of pieces, and how much is enough?
They invent all kinds of nonsense ... But how did we live without diapers and panties for training before? Lazy mothers went, I immediately began to accustom my eldest to the potty, as soon as I began to hold my head. There is a spoon and a fork in 9 months, at 1.2 I went to the younger group (there was no nursery), and knew how to eat, and put on a pot and put on clothes. She is an ordinary child, not a child prodigy ... as mothers teach as children and learn .. They write methods for everyone and sundry ...
