Potty Training Underwear, Koala
- They still feel it
- Catches one accident
- Pulls up like big-kid pants
- Washes 300+ times
What size should I order?+
Size by weight rather than age, since toddlers vary enormously. The size chart on this page maps weight to size. If your child is between two sizes, take the larger one, because a snug waistband is the thing children complain about most.
How many pairs do I actually need?+
Most families want somewhere between eight and twelve pairs to get through a day of active training without doing laundry every evening. The 10 Pack exists for exactly this reason. Fewer than six and you will be washing constantly in week one.
Will it hold a number two?+
Sometimes, and not reliably. The core is built for liquid. A solid accident is usually containable but messier to deal with than a nappy, so treat this as a training pant rather than a nappy replacement.
Can we use these overnight?+
These are day-training pants. Overnight is a separate problem, because bladder control during sleep develops on its own timeline and no pant changes that. The Waterproof Bed Mat and the Nighttime Kit are built for that stretch.
How do I wash them?+
Cold or warm machine wash with your normal detergent, then tumble on low or line dry. Skip fabric softener, because it coats the cotton core and reduces how much it absorbs. The mesh wash bag keeps the waistbands from tangling.

Description+
The Koala print, on the same pant as every other colourway. Reusable training pants with a six layer cotton middle. Enough to hold one accident long enough to reach a bathroom, thin enough that your child still notices it happened.
Parents usually add
The six layer middle
A thin cotton shell with a six-layer core through the middle. Enough to hold one accident, not so much that your child stops noticing it. That is the whole trick.
Feels Wet On Purpose
Holds One Full Accident
No Plastic Crinkle
3 reasons parents switch to Diapies
They feel it, so they learn
A pull-up is too good at its job. It wicks the wet away and the lesson goes with it. Diapies keeps the feeling where your child can notice it.
One accident stays in the pants
Six cotton layers hold a full wee long enough to reach a bathroom. The sofa, the car seat and the carpet all survive the afternoon.
They can do it themselves
Real pull-on underwear with a soft waistband. No tabs, no adult required, and that independence is half of potty training.
Why these work
Learning First
Absorbent enough to contain, thin enough to feel. That balance is the entire design brief.
Laundry Friendly
Cold wash, tumble low, back in the drawer. No soaking, no special detergent, no ritual.
Kid Operated
Up and down by small hands. The waistband is soft enough to manage and firm enough to stay put.
Cotton Soft
Breathable cotton against the skin, so it feels like underwear rather than plastic.

What parents say
Example layout. These are illustrative, not customer reviews.
Two weeks in and she tells us before she goes now. The fact she can feel it is genuinely the thing that made it click.
Bought the 10 pack and I am glad I did. Four pairs would have meant laundry every single night in week one.
Hold a wee well. A poo is a different story, but we knew that going in. Washing has been easy.
He puts them on himself which he could never do with nappies. That alone was worth it.
Car seat survived a long drive. That is the entire review really.
Sizing runs slightly small so size up. Once we did that they have been great.
She picks her print every morning and it has turned the whole thing into something she wants to do.
Still going strong after about forty washes. No sagging in the waistband yet.
Good for daytime. We use the bed mat at night which is the right way round.
Third child and I wish I had known about these for the first two.
The wet bag is small but it is the thing I use most. Keeps the car civilised.
Took our son a few days to stop treating them like nappies. Once he felt one accident he got it.
