While Angel only started her potty training at 22 months and I am still in a stage of denial and procrastination, at least I have done the first two steps in the potty training process: 1) Find a good potty and place it in a prominent position, and 2) Stock up pants diapers in the house.
While it can be an option to let your child run bottom naked in the house, I actually prefer to do that for only the first two days, deal with just a few pools of pee in the house, let her understand that all poo and pee should go into the potty, teach her to make her way to the potty and subsequently, train her to pull down her pants diapers on her own. For that, we turn to our trustworthy pants diapers brand - Drypers Drypantz.
I have to first tell you that Ariel has been rather prone to diaper rash and red marks on her waist and bottom, so that makes me extremely fussy when it comes to finding a good pants diapers that will provide softness, air circulation and comfort for my baby.
The new Drypers Drypantz now comes with Comfort Fit™ which comprises of a 100% breathable cloth-like cover and added breathability in the diaper, especially around the waistband which helps to avoid red marks and reduce pressure on baby’s tummy. Just a word of advice, when you buy a pants diapers, don't just decide on the size based on the recommended weight. Try it on your child and if the waistband feels even a little tight and leaves marks, go for a bigger size and find one that provides the most comfort.
Just the other day, I was having this conversation with a good friend who is also a mom to two young kids. We have both stayed in Europe for a few years and gone through winters with our kids where we had to dress them up in over three layers of clothes every time we go out. It was interesting to know that while she thinks that wrap round diapers are more convenient for travel, if you were to ask the hubby and I on which we prefer, our answer will be the pants diaper anytime.
Here are some reasons why.
1) Pants diapers are easy to put on and take off
This is crucial when you have a baby who is not particularly fond of diaper changing.
2) Diaper changing tables are not always available
In this instance, I am just glad I can change her in any toilet and put on a pants diapers properly even though she is standing up.
3) More time for outdoor
With an active child who loves to spend time out of home, having a pants diapers with a well-fitted waistband makes it less prone to sagging and thus more time for play.
Apart from meeting my needs for the above, Drypers Drypantz also provides greater absorbency which means my baby can stay dry and comfortable for a longer time. With Comfort Fit™ and an improved elastic, the pants diapers stay snug on her, allow her to move freely and be the happy, lively child that she is.
As unreal as it sounds, I am actually looking forward to potty training my girl and I jolly well know that she is in good hands, or pants, whenever we are out. That allows me to breathe easy, stay positive and smile when she smiles.
