What works and what doesn’t when it comes to potty training is entirely up to you and your child. Still, it never hurts to learn about the pros and cons of using various undergarments during potty training.

Underwear Pros and Cons

Cloth Training Pants Pros and Cons

Disposable Training Pants Pros and Cons

You may choose one method exclusively, which is often recommended so that it promotes consistency and eliminates any confusion. Or, you may choose to use underwear during the day and disposable training pants at night or during naps, as many parents do. This is a good strategy since children often gain control during sleep much later than they do during waking hours. Ultimately the decision is up to you. Don’t be afraid to try a method and then switch to another if one is plainly not working. Once you find what works, stick with it, keep going, and have patience. Your little one will be going “pee pee on the potty” in no time!
