Description
Big Kid Pants are soft cotton potty training pants for toddlers who are ready to leave diapers and pull-ups behind. Disposable pull-ups are made to feel dry, so many toddlers wee in them without noticing. Cotton lets your child feel it when they've had an accident, and that moment of noticing helps them connect the feeling with the potty.
A padded cotton middle catches dribbles and small accidents while they learn, and a stretchy waistband makes it easy for little hands to pull them up and down. Choose a size for your toddler and a print for every pair. Machine washable and made for boys and girls.
Please note: these are training pants, not diapers. A full wee can soak through, and they aren't designed for poos, naps or overnight.

Why parents switch from pull-ups
They can feel it
Pull-ups pull wetness away so fast that many toddlers never notice it. Soft cotton lets them feel that “uh-oh” moment, which is the cue they need to learn.
Little accidents, caught
A layered cotton pad through the middle soaks up dribbles and small misses, so one slip doesn't mean a full outfit change.
Big-kid proud
Real-undies feel, prints they choose themselves, and a waistband they can pull up on their own. Feeling grown-up is half the motivation.
Wash, dry, wear again
They go in with the normal wash and come out ready for tomorrow. No more running out of pull-ups at 9pm.
Feel it. Learn it.
Soft like real undies. Padded where accidents happen.
Pull-ups are made to feel dry. That's great for a diaper, and unhelpful when you're trying to teach what “wet” feels like. Big Kid Pants are soft cotton, so your toddler notices straight away when they've had a little accident. That noticing is how the feeling and the potty finally connect, and the padded cotton middle means it doesn't have to come with a puddle on the rug.
- Soft cotton they can actually feel
- Layered cotton pad for small accidents
- Stretchy waist they can pull up themselves

Built for real life
Home, daycare, Grandma's. Always a spare.
Potty training doesn't stay in one room. In the first weeks, a toddler can go through several pairs a day, with a couple more in the daycare bag and one in the wash. That's why Buy 4 Get 6 is our best value: 6 pairs means you're not doing laundry every night.

Questions, answered
How do these actually help with potty training?
Disposable pull-ups are built to feel dry, so many toddlers wee in them without noticing. Big Kid Pants are soft cotton, so your toddler feels it when they've had an accident. That moment of noticing is what helps them connect the feeling with needing the potty.
They work best alongside the basics: regular potty trips (after meals and drinks is a good time), lots of praise, and no scolding for accidents.
Are they leakproof?
No, and we'd rather tell you now. The padded cotton middle catches dribbles and small accidents, but a full wee can still soak through. In the first few days, keep them close to the potty and pop a towel on the sofa.
They aren't designed for poos, naps or overnight. Use a night pull-up and a waterproof mattress protector until they're dry at night.
When should we start?
Most children show they're ready somewhere between 18 and 30 months. Look for signs like staying dry for 2 hours, telling you when they've gone, pulling pants up and down, or showing interest in the toilet.
Every child learns at their own pace, and daytime training usually takes a few months. If your child resists, take a break for a few weeks and try again.
What size should I get?
Choose by weight:
- S: 8–11 kg (18–24 lb), about 1–2 years
- M: 11–14 kg (24–31 lb), about 2–3 years
- L: 14–17 kg (31–37 lb), about 3–4 years
- XL: 17–20 kg (37–44 lb), about 4–5 years
Between sizes? Go up one. The leg elastic should sit snugly without leaving deep marks.
How many pairs do I need?
In the first weeks, toddlers can go through several pairs a day. Buy 2 Get 3 gives you 3 pairs, enough for a day plus one in the wash. Buy 4 Get 6 gives you 6 pairs, so you can do laundry every other day and keep spares in the daycare bag or at Grandma's.
What about poo accidents?
Tip any solids into the toilet, give the pants a quick rinse, then put them in the wash. A soak in cold water first helps with stains.
How do I wash them?
Machine wash warm or cold with your normal clothes. Skip fabric softener, as it makes cotton less absorbent. Line dry, or tumble dry on low.
Are they for boys and girls?
Yes. The cut is the same for boys and girls, and your toddler can pick any print for each pair.
