Why Reusable Training Pants & Toilet Training Just Make Sense

Why Reusable Training Pants & Toilet Training Just Make Sense - Mimi & Co

Toilet training is a big step for kids and parents alike. Reusable training pants are kinder to the environment, but they also have some amazing hidden benefits over disposable training pants.

Let's be honest, toilet training can be stressful for both kids and parents. For kids, it's about learning new skills, being responsible for themselves, and gaining independence. For parents, it's about helping their children learn these new skills, making sure their children are safe while they're learning them.

Toilet training is also one of those things that parents have always done without thinking about whether there was a better way. But over the past few years, reusable cloth nappies have become popular among modern parents who want to save money and protect the environment at the same time.

Throughout your toilet training journey accidents are inevitable! Toilet training is a big step in your child's life, but there are some simple ways to make this process easier on both of you:

Use reusable training pants instead of disposable diapers or pull ups – reusable training pants are much cheaper in the long run than disposables because they last longer and can be washed over and over again without losing their effectiveness; did I also mention that you can use our reusable training pants as swim nappies too? 

Our absorbency is completely removable so it can be repurposed as a swim nappy!  

Choose training pants which allow your baby to feel when they've had an accident. Cotton or bamboo fabrics are great for this - and you can be confident your baby will know exactly when an accident is happening. 

Toilet training is tough enough without having to worry about cleaning up messes on top of everything else. Reusable training pants are a great alternative to disposable nappies because they don't make your child feel like he's wearing a nappy— in fact, they'll help baby feel more confident about using the toilet with our easy pull up and down design.

What if there is an accident?

We’ve all been there, haven’t we? That moment when you look down at your child and realize that she has pooped their underwear. Or peed. Or both.

It’s not fun to clean up after your kids. It also isn’t fun to be the one who has to change the underwear and put on a new pair of pants. If you have an infant or toddler, you know what I mean. But even older kids have accidents now and then.

Our Reusable training pants are water resistant and will keep accidents contained (and off the furniture!). They are easy to wash with normal detergent, dry quickly and take up very little space in your laundry room.

and if there is a poo? No fear, the side-snapping buttons allow you to remove the training pants without having to take them off over the feet! An absolute game changer!

Reusable training pants definitely have their place in the toilet training world. They can ease the transition from nappies to underwear, and even help you save money in the process. We think it's time to rethink the old disposable training system, you could be saving yourself a lot of time and money by simply going with reusable training pants.

THE REAL MATHS

Work out what disposables are actually costing you

The average baby goes through about 7,000 disposable nappies before they are toilet trained. At roughly 50c each, that is $3,500 — and every one of them is still sitting in landfill. Move the sliders to see your own number.
