Choosing between underwear and pull up’s (aka training pants) when starting to potty train will depend entirely on your child’s preference. Some
children see pull up’s as diapers and tend to mess in them as soon as you put them on. Investing in underwear with a extra plastic sheeting inside may be necessary. Others are not keen on moving from diapers to underwear straight away.
It is recommended that pull-up’s be used if a child shows a lot of interest to be potty trained but little consistency. In other words; they run to the potty quite often but just as often they don’t make it in time.
The upside of pull up’s are that they are convenient to pull down, making it easier for a child to undress himself. He or she immediately starts feeling more grown-up. A child is normally very proud to start wearing pull up’s. Especially if it has their favorite character on.
The down-side of pull up’s are that they come with a price tag that is not easy on the budget. Pull up’s tend to leek, which helps a child to know when he’s made a wee. But it still doesn’t prevent the mess that comes with potty training. On the other hand it does catch those few little drops in the beginning of a wee and gives a child a bigger sense of achievement than underwear does.
Pull up’s are a good alternative if a child feels extremely embarrassed or humiliated when he has a mishap in his underwear. There are pull up’s on the market that feels more like underwear but has a plastic sheeting inside to help limit spills. But like I mentioned before they come with a price tag and might be difficult to get hold of.
Some children may prefer underwear and go to the toilet to wee but prefers to have a pull up or diaper on to make their poo. Children can differ tremendously in their preferences.
Keep in mind that moving a child from underwear back to pull up’s during the day may confuse him. It may be best to give pull up’s a go and if the child insists move on to underwear. Moving a child back to pull up’s may take some “selling” on your side. A child should not feel like he’s failed at potty training by moving back to pull up’s. Rather tell him they are special pants for kids who really work hard at using the potty. Let Daddy complain bitterly about how he wishes he could still wear pull up’s. That might just do the trick.
