Training Pants For Toddlers

Training Pants For Toddlers

When it comes to choosing the right training pants for your toddler, there is a wide range of pants to choose from. The cotton training pants are the most preferred kind of training pants for toddlers. Why is this so? This is because the cotton training pants are more comfortable and very absorbent. Also they are trim and they are lined with terry linen cloth that ensures plenty of air circulation next to the baby’s soft skin. The terry linen helps in preventing nappy and diaper rash, also the terry linen keeps the toddlers bum warmer in winter and cooler in summer. The cotton training pants have a protective outer layer that helps preventing leaks that are known in staining a toddler’s outfit.

There are many other reasons why parents and caregivers opt to use the wide variety of cotton training pants for their toddlers. They come in several colors and prints and letting your toddler pick one for him or herself is an important step in the transition from potty to pants. Picking out a training pant for themselves encourages the toddlers in their participation of the training process. A sense of pride is instilled in toddlers when they are given some kind of control over their appearance when choosing their pants.

However, the cotton training pants encourage a toddler to quickly learn and master how to use the bathroom quickly and effectively. Why this is is so? Because the training pants are thick and absorbent they make the toddler feel a noticeable sense of being wet and this encourages them to use the bathroom immediately rather than having to void on themselves.

It is worth noting that cotton training pants are more natural and will never irritate the toddler’s skin unlike other training pants. All you need is several pairs of cotton training pants whether your toddler will graduate to regular underwear in a few weeks or some months. Also you can use the cotton training pants conveniently at night if the toddler does not sleep through the night without wetting their beds. Diaper liners can also be used together with the cotton training pants to increase absorbency. It is highly recommended to pick one with wide elastic bands. Your child would not find it hard to pull up / down his training pants because he would have a better grip.

Disposable training pants unlike the cotton pants are so absorbent that the toddler cannot feel if they are wet. This discourages the toddler to use the bathroom because they are comfortable even after wetting their pants.
