We are featuring our potty training star of the Week 🥇 Thomas! We want to share his mom's experience on how Thomas used PottyPants to help his behavior related potty training issues.
"Let's talk about potty training:
And NO, this isn't one of those Pinterest, my kid was potty trained in 3 days kind of post.
We never had a huge problem with potty training Carter, but Thomas has been a whole different story.
I honestly feel like we forced it on him and that's where the problem began. He fought it every step of the way.
I would say that after a year he is fully potty trained, he doesn't have accidents anymore. However, the potty is still a nightmare. Thomas REFUSES to pull his underwear up. I mean completetly refuses. He will not. He has no issues telling us he needs to go, and going by himself, pulling his underwear down by himself etc.
He will not get off that potty and pull his underwear up. This has been going on since the start of his potty training journey. It always seems that he has to go potty when we're right in the middle of something too. like sleeping at night.
We have tried everything to encourage him to do this himself. It just doesn't work and everyone gets frustrated.
So, maybe a solution, have him in underwear that he doesn't need even to take off to begin with?!
What!!
Yes, you read that right, with he doesn't even need to take them off when using the potty. The PottyPants are designed with great coverage when wearing and they have an opening to allow him to use the potty.
As you can imagine, Thomas is picky, he has his days, we're working on it.
I wish we had done things differently, I wish we hadn't force the potty on him and I wish I had discovered sooner. " - Katie
