Layah is just shy of 15 months, now. And that means the potty chair has come down from the attic and we are officially potty training!
Early Potty Training
I’m guessing that right about now you are thinking that I either made a typo about my daughter’s age, or that I’m a little bit crazy! I’ll actually be writing a post in a month or so about the process of potty training we go through in our home, but suffice it to say that it is a laid-back, though LONG process. We potty trained Darah for 7 months before she got the hang of it. She was all done at 20 months and we never purchased a single package of Pull-Ups.
We did, however, use cloth training pants, and we endured our fair share of accidents! We wanted to get Darah out of diapers as fast as possible, but we also wanted to be realistic about expectations for a young toddler, and we didn’t want to have to put our entire lives on hold while we taught her how to use the potty. Our method might not be for everyone, but it worked great for us, and now we are starting the process again with Layah.
Super Undies
Right now we are just at the stage of training where we put Layah on the potty first thing in the morning and right before bed. She hasn’t actually used the potty yet, and she’s most definitely not in training pants. But when we reach that point (hopefully around 19 months), we’ll be using a gift from the heroes of potty training, Super Undies .
Super Undies, first and foremost, are absolutely adorable. And they add an element of fun to the potty training experience. I think this is especially true if you are potty training a slightly older child (2 1/2 or 3). Kids wearing Super Undies can feel like a big kid, as well as a super hero, fighting for dry days and nights! They also offer extra-large sizes for children experiencing bedwetting later in childhood, as well as for special needs super heroes in training.
The images above showcase the two types of products in the line. The pink pair represents the snap-on training pants. These are the pants we’ll be using in a handful of months. Unlike the potty training pants we used with Darah, Super Undies have a completely water-proof “wet zone”, which makes life a lot easier for the potty training parents, I have to say! They have some built-in absorption, though not as much as you’d find in a diaper. The child will feel when s/he is wet! And there is also a pocket where you can add some extra inserts for additional absorption. This is key for nighttime and for the earlier stages of potty training, when you anticipate more frequent accidents. I love that Super Undies are able to be customized for exactly where you are in your potty training journey.
The orange pair in the picture is an example of the pull-on training pants. These are great for the kids who feel really excited about wearing big kid underwear. They slip on and off and they also have a pocket for increased or decreased absorption, depending on your needs.
While my child hasn’t used either product yet, I have spent some time inspecting these products and pulling and stretching them so that I can report back on their overall quality. And I have to say, I’m impressed! These seem VERY well made, and very thoughtfully constructed. Speaking strictly visually, they are the coolest reusable training pants I have ever seen. I am really looking forward to getting to use them with Layah.
Are you in the middle of potty training or will you be potty training soon? Any fears or concerns about the process?
Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need reader will win TWO pair of Super Undies (one snap, one pull-on!).

We have Bern working on potty training for months now. We started using FuziBunz diapers because they were recommended. The only problem is my daughter can’t pull them down or up by herself. I decided to buy Pull Ups just so she could pull them off and on by herself, but she’s taking her time potty training and that’s expensive. These would be AWESOME. I was actually thinking that either I should figure out how to make some myself or find some to purchase, so this was a lucky find.

Jennifer T. says
My son just turned two and has been showing some interest in sitting on his potty seat. We’ve had a few successful go’s but it’s getting tedious putting a regular diaper on and off him. These would be perfect for him. If I was lucky enough to win, I’d choose the Fearsome Frog in the pull-on version and the Aquanaut in the snap on version, both size smalls.

My two favorite colors are the bright blue and kelly green! I have one child potty trained during the day only, so still in diapers at night. The other kiddo has 6 months left before he starts the process!
Lisa says
Loved the green and blue! We are starting potty training too and these look awesome!
JessieLeigh says
I love the pink and turquoise! I have an older child who still struggles with staying dry at night. She was an extremely early preemie and the doctors have said it may still be a couple years before her bladder is developed enough.
B Nettles says
We are at the potty training stage right now with our daughter. She uses cloth diapers part-time so she would love these super undies; they look almost like her cloth diapers. Purple and pink would be awesome!

We will be beginning potty training and I think I’m more anxious than anyone else in my family. One in blue and green would be perfect.
