Before potty training your child, it is important to know that it can be extremely beneficial to transition your toddler into training pants before trying to jump right into making them wear regular underwear. Using training pants isn't utilized by all parents, but if you are wondering why you should do it, this is why. Training pants can help your child get use to the idea of ditching the diapers and making the switch to normal underwear. They are essentially the next step in the potty training process and will show them that not all new things are bad. Training pants come in a variety of different designs, making them fun to wear. 

This is how to transition your toddler into training pants. 

• Tell them in plain language why their diapers are about to disappear. 

• Introduce them to their new training pants.

• Make the switch from diapers to training pants. 

• Demonstrate the proper steps in going to the restroom if you have not done this already. 

• If needed, there are picture books that can aid in this process. 

If you are having a hard time finding a good brand of training pants, brands such as Goo.n, Merries, and Moony provide the coverage your child needs without all the negative associations of a diaper. They also feel like underwear and will help your toddler in making the adjustment to normal underwear when it comes time to! With that being said, when is the right time to transition from using training pants to underwear? The answer is different for every child, but it's a good rule of thumb to switch to underwear once your child has been introduced to their training potty and is fully capable of taking off their pants in order to use the bathroom. When arriving to this step, it's still a good idea to use the training pants at night. This is because a child's bladder is not yet able to hold in any excess liquids just yet. Wetting the bed is essentially inevitable, but just be patient as this will eventually pass!
