Training panties, your children’s best ally for continence

Is he clean? This is a phrase often heard by parents about their children. Potty training isn’t easy, no offense to the brilliant minds who advised me to take my child’s diaper off at night and wait until they’ve had enough of” – come forward “.

If this idea has not frankly seduced me, I could still see that recently my son was starting to beat around the bush (do you have it?). He has perfectly integrated the function of the toilets and asks us for a detailed account of the operations as soon as we leave.

In theory, it’s super punctual. The practice isn’t quite that, but I feel it’s ripe to start soft. And for this I was lucky enough to be able to try on the Elia training pants, intended for the little ones from one and a half to four years old. It exists in three colors red, blue or striped.

This French brand of menstrual panties in organic cotton has already pampered mums’ buttocks and is now taking care of babies’ bottoms thanks to these panties that allow for a smooth transition between nappies and abstinence. I share my experience and advice with you:

Big panties for the little ones or vice versa?

At an age where he asserts his need for autonomy, my son has only one wish: to do like his grown-ups. So when they offered him the potty and his disposable diapers, certainly in the form of briefs, but still disposable, he wondered if he wasn’t taken for a truffle. Aware of him, neither I nor his father, whom he admires boundlessly, do their business in this potty or put on diapers that pass for panties. We then fired up the pot and invested in a removable bezel and small tripod for Mr. to experience the bath.

For the occasion, I therefore wore my sixty-year-old Elia poppy before showing her hers. Wearing panties like mom, he really liked the idea. All that remained was to explain to him the procedure to follow with lots of mimicry and exaggerated gestures. And when the whole family got involved, he immediately understood the principle: when he needs to go to the bathroom, he has to call.

Discreet anti-leak and stain resistant panties

Even though my son is motivated, there are many accidents. It’s part of the game and I take it philosophically at home. On the other hand, during long outings, my legendary calm can give way to a completely irrational panic for someone who has never experienced the following dilemma: should I put him in a diaper, even if it means regressing, or should I put him in his underwear praying that a probable accident spares our family? It’s just the right time to adopt the solution between two thanks to his training pants.

For my son, the plan has not changed: he still has to learn to go without diapers. But I know that if she forgets to signal her desire for him, or if he does it too late, I won’t have to clean it up in a hurry in the tiny toilets of the first bar that passes.

Elia training pants prevent all leaks and stains, like a diaper. I just have to remove it discreetly, wash his buttocks and put on another one. Neither seen nor known. It also saves me from having to plan for three spare pants and as many leotards that end up taking up a lot of space in my bag.

Pampered little buttocks

Sorry team little snaps, sequins and buttons, you will never convince me. I’d love to see my kids dressed like in an advertisement, but the reality is that when a child needs to be undressed and dressed, every second counts.

Especially in this case: between the moment my child signals an urgent need and the realization of this urgent need, only a few seconds pass. The Elijah training pants slip on and off like traditional pants, I just have to pull them on as I lift my heir to his throne and voila.

If the regent that I am prefers the practical side, my dolphin has a delicate bottom. So I was happy to see that his panties were lined with a very soft material, which would not only ensure the comfort of my little darling. Especially since this plot was different enough from the traditional layers not to lose sight of his mission.

And it works! The learning of continence takes place in complete tranquility while the little father gains self-confidence and parades in his underwear, too proud to be considered an adult!
