Little girl potty training pants types

One of the main things that have improved in recent years when it comes to potty training is the development and improvement in potty training pants. Take your daughter to the shop to look at what is available when you decide what type you want to try, and get her involved and excited about the process. She is more likely to want to try if she likes what she is wearing! Apart from the design or theme of the pants, there are basically two types of girls training pants for potty training. There are reusable and there are disposable. There are pros and cons to both types. If you decide to try reusable, there are then two options, water-proof and not water-proof.

Non-waterproof -  Very much like regular girls underwear but the middle part is thicker to absorb the wetness. These do not hold that wetness for long though, so they are more prone to leaking if not changed straight away when full.  

Waterproof – They are pants that have a water-resistant layer on the outside and hold all the urine on the inside. These mean less cleaning up to do around the home as they hold in the wetness well. However they are thicker than the non-waterproof type, some even as thick as a nappy.
