Need to Find Some Helpful Potty Training Tools

Try 3daypottytraining.com. I swear it works. It costs $25 and you need 3 consecutive days at home with your little one. I have friends that have also tried this and it worked for them as well. Good Luck :)

Hannah Andersson makes great training underwear that is more absorbent and also a company called Little Beetles.

Hi M.,
I used to put training underpants under a pull up. That way you can "feel" when you go and it is uncomfortable but I didn't worry about the carpets.
Good Luck,

How about old-fashioned cloth training pants and plastic pants? Wetting those a few times might be sufficient inspiration, & the plastic pants will keep furniture, etc. dry.

I'm about to start potty training my daughter. After looking in many places, I decided to buy a few reusable cotton training pants from One Step Ahead. They are called Dri Days Training Pants. They also have one for night time. The pants have cotton and terry lining inside and waterproof shell outside. When a child goes in it, they still feel the wetness but the leak won't be too messy because the lining will absorb some. Good luck.

M.,
When our daughter was that age she did the same thing. I finally told her we weren't going to buy pull ups anymore, and she had to do all her business in the toilet. From that day on she did. No accidents either. She was fully trained except for wanting to poop in pull ups instead of the toilet. Once she had no recourse any more, she had to use the potty.

Broken keyboard - bear with me pleaze! The "$" came off.

You will have to tell her to go for about a year. My kid (boy) at 4 forgetz to pee a few timez a month, u$ually when he iz completely involved with a "project" like building a lego city or a puzzle - al$o if he iz ill - I think the cold medicine or Motrin reduced the feeling of urgency....maybe.
Anyway - patience - thi$ kid i$ different than your olde$t, don't expect her to do thing$ the $ame way or at the $ame pace!
Oh, 1 more thing - I've noticed my $on will hold hiz pee if we are away from home - he HATEZ public bathroomz - unle$$ they are really clean and fancy like Nord$trom - AND they have to $mell like potpourri. I think he getz it from my OCD crazy family.
Try the "Feel 'N Learn" pull-upz - they feel cold & icky when pee'd in but catch the "accident", they make them with di$appearing picturez on the front - if the kiddo peez the picture goez away - even if it'z ju$t a dribble - the pull-up tattlez better than your 6 year old! :)
We celebrated whenever Ian kept the $piderman from fading for an entire day. Made him feel like he accompli$hed $omething.
You can alzo appeal to her vanity - let her pick out "really pretty Big Girl Pantie$" and let her wear them whenever $he ha$ a dry day in her pull-up$. It worked well for all 3 of my niece$ - not quite az well for boyz - until I told my $on that $piderman waz mad at him for pooping on him - he apologized to the offended underpantz. Tee Hee!
Hey, he needz $omething to tell hiz p$ychiatri$t!
Good luck!

I am not sure where you live. You can check out Tiny Tots in Campbell or www.tinytots.com. They are a cloth diaper service with a boutique. I used to purchase all my cloth training pants from them. You can check out their options on line. The associates give out great advice as well.

Good luck.

You can try putting training cloth underpants next to his skin, then top it off with a pull-up. This should work ok. Good luck, and remember, kids will potty train eventually no matter what! It seems like foreve while it is happening though!

In our house, my daughter, who was 3- 3 1/2 at the time, showed lots of interest in potty training but wasn't interested in initiating going to the potty by herself. We had to ask her if she had to go etc. She wasn't bothered by wet or dirty pull ups either. Then, She had started to fight the process...she wanted to be in control. So we gave her the job! We basically told her that it seemed like Mommy and Daddy were telling her or reminding her to use the potty instead of her paying attention to her body so we annouced to the whole family that she was in "charge" of her potty...in the beginning we would make comments like "it's so nice that Mommy doesn't have to remind you to use the potty anymore" and " wow, I like how you are doing your job!" and it worked! We did use pull ups at night "just in case" until just recently (she's 4 now). Also, I do ask her to give the potty a try before we go in the car but other that that she is in charge and now completely potty trained. Good luck!
