by Angela V My son is almost 2 years old and we are starting our journey towards potty training again. We were making great progress a few months ago but with our busy schedule and lots of traveling we went backwards a bit and there was no more progress for a while.
I think it is a good time to get back on track and I am excited as he seems now ready for toilet training. I received a couple of training pants to try out from Omaïki and I am really loving the cloth option when it comes to training pants. I’ve heard a lot about disposable pull-ups not working too well and it just makes sense to use cloth training pants during potty training.
Omaïki Training Pants are soft and feel just like “big” kid underwear but they offer water proof protection in the middle to help protect against accidents. Potty training can be messy but having the right training pants makes all the difference, specially if you are not at home.
Closer to the end of the Summer I started having more “naked” potty training time for him but now with the colder days he is wearing his new trainers. We have had accidents when we are out but having the training pants made them less messy.
Omaïki training pants have super thin “inner” bamboo/organic cotton and polyester inserts (you don’t see them and they can’t be removed) and inner waterproof liners made of 100% PUL.
Something that I really like about the Omaïki Training Pants is the fact that they have side snap buttons that are very useful when cleaning accidents, specially if we are talking about messy poops. I can’t imagine cleaning those without using the side snaps! The snaps are somehow hidden on the sides as well so we only use them when we need them. I make sure he helps pulling the training pants up and down (just like underwear).
These Canadian made training pants come in three sizes: small (20-25 lbs), medium (25-30 lbs), large (30 lbs +). We are using the Medium size right now and he still has lots of room. In general I really like that they look like underwear and he knows right away that they are not his regular diapers, they are his new “big” boy underwear!
If you are looking for cloth training pants then I recommend you consider Omaïki. Their training pants are definitively making potty training less messy for us and we love the fact that they are locally made! They sell for $18.25 each.
Omaïki is also celebratring its 5th anniversary this year and they are offering an amazing promotion that has been extended until… the END OF THE YEAR! If you purchase 5 diapers you will receive one free. If you have a little one in diapers or if you know somebody who does then pass this along. Great deal for a fantastic product!

2 we started
I started with my son at 2 and he did really well! My daughter is a year now – I plan on trying around 18 months?
I am starting at 3.5 with my daughter but hope to start earlier with my son
October 1-Girls are easily trained at 2 years within a few days. Usually , boys are better left until three and within a few days. One of my little greatgrand sons trained himself at 2 yeas, four months. -I also trained my nephew at two years because my sister had to put him in day care. It took about a month. I never made it a struggle and gave lots of praise when we had successes and no comments when we didn’t. Hope this helps. -el03ro
Oh My Goodesss, this would be PERFECT timing! We have an almost 2 year old little girl (who has worn a sposie dipie once – DH forgot to send a cover with the diapers to the sitters!).
We are in the middle of it now at 27 months. She’s got the pee thing down but still has poop accidents. These trainers would be REALLY handy
These look like they would be amazing for potty training. I am wanting to start with at least one of my boys (I am kind of hoping that the other will follow along).
We’re planning on starting at 2 years.

Planning on starting at 2 years..hopefully he will want to do it by then.
18 months
We started a little after 2. My son was starting to tell me he had to pee and poop before he would do it and get ready to be changed. So I knew it was time!
My son is almost 3 and we are just starting now. He wasn’t ready for the potty and I wasn’t going to push it.
We started training a about 2.25 years and at 2.75 years are getting close, still in diapers for long trips out of the house, and at nap time and night time. I’m hoping that the twins we are expecting in December of this year will train a little bit earlier…
We had no plans for our 2 year old who started herself in the last 2 weeks 🙂 usually we try just after 2nd birthday but some of our kids started later as they really disliked the idea of the toilet.
I’d say the regular age for my little cousins would be 2. I’d like to win these for my younger ones.
I will advise my niece to start around 2 years of age.
I’m planning on helping with my grandson who will be 3 in Nov. We’re going to potty train him after he turns 3 when he’s mentally ready.
My daughter is 16 months.. and she’s starting to show signs of potty training (I think).. so we may start at 18 months.. or a bit later. I’m going to try to go by her cues
My daughter just turned 2 and we have been working on it a little.
One son was close to 4 and the other was 3.5. Hope number 3 is quicker, but it’s not something we stress about!
Around age two is what I usually aimed for, but it really depends on the child & their readiness & communication skills.
My son is 2 1/2 and we will be starting soon.
we started at 23 months
I am planning to start at around 2, or whenever my son starts to show signs he might be ready – ie, not wanting to be in a dirty diaper, showing interest in using the toilet, etc.
We started introducing it at 2 years old.
I potty trained my son when he was 2 1/2 because that was when I felt he was really ready. My daughter is 18 months now and I’m waiting for the right time. No specific age in mind just when I get that “feeling”
My daughter was fully trained by 2 1/2.
We started at age 2, because then my son was physically able to pull pants up and down.
plan on starting at 2 1/2
We have started EC since about 6 months..
I’m hoping to start my little guy around 1 1/2 years old. Not sure what to expect as this is my first baby!
We tried right at 2 years and we know now that my son was just NOT ready. At 2 1/2, he’s taking the initiative and we are just now getting started, for real!
With my oldest we started at 18 months, when he started showing interest, but let him go at his own pace. He would go through periods of great progress and then back off of it for several weeks. When he finally decided he was ready he was about 26 months and we’ve been good since then! My 2nd is 2 next week and has only started showing slight interest. But I pretty much plan on letting him take the lead like I did with the oldest – much less stress for all involved that way!
We plan to start when DS is around 20 months.
I’m going to start introducing the potty and getting him used to the idea at 18 months, then at 2 I’ll start making an effort. However, you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink, KWIM? We’ll see how it goes.
I’m hoping to start at 18 months.
We started at 22 months with my first, and I will probably start around the same time with #2. She is 15 months, so we have a couple months to go. I may wait longer too, depending on if I have another baby on the way, I don’t know what I would do if she trained and I had no more diaper laundry! 😛
My oldest trained himself just as he turned two. I plan to start training my second in another six months.
i plan to start between 2&3 when ever they show signs of readyness
I’m planning on starting at 2 years old.
I’m going to try at 2!
Plan to start as early as possible. I’ve found some great tips to start introducing the potty to very young children which can lead to earlier/easier potty training. So many good tips from other mamas online!
well… we started at 18 months. at 3 years we’re still working on it!
We’ll start when my little one says he’s ready.
My guy is 2 and we’ve started and stopped a few times, I think he’s about ready, so I’m gearing up to PT for real!
20 months!
My baby is 3 months old, but I figure around 2 years old? Hopefully! Haha
We are currently potty training {kind of}. I often feel like it’s two steps forward-one step back. I’m also not forcing it. If my daughter tells me “Poop” or “Pee”, I then put her on the potty; I’m not taking her to the potty every 20 minutes.
Not yet probably around 2 years old I think!
I plan to start at 18 months
I have a two and a half year old. We’re trying. Failing, but still trying.
I want to potty train my 2.5 year old now, but she seems to have other ideas. 😛
We’re going to start trying with my 20 month old son soon!
I have a 2 year old who I have been trying to train – without much success 🙁
We started EC at 3 months and will progress as she demonstrates increased understanding 🙂
we’ve been doing some form of ec since my son was a few months old (he’s almost 2 now) & are still ‘potty learning’ 🙂
#1 18 months, #2 18 months, #3 24 months
I started potty training my son at 2. He’s almost 3 now and he is super successful during the day, but we still struggle at night.
Hope to start by 2
We’re hoping to start trying in a couple of months, when DD is around 24 months.
hoping to really start at 18 months… we have been doing ec but walking has put a bump in that for the last several months!
started at 15 months – trained by 18 months!
I started my girl at 2.
My daughter is 20 months, and is already showing signs that she is ready – too bad I’m not yet! Haha. We are slowly introducing her to the potty, but I am in no rush.
My son is now 2 yrs 3 months and is just starting to show interest.
we are at the very beginning with our 23 month old
We’re just starting now that my son turned 2.
Plan to start in the next few months.
I plan on starting as soon as my LO show interest…and hopefully that at around 2.5yrs. 😉
at 3
I plan to start at 20 months for my son
I started my kids around 2 if they had not just started on their own
Hope to start around 2 years
started at 15 months……now we’re at 17 months and go the poopoo under control!!!
About 2…but pee waaaayyyy before poop!

I don’t have a particular age we will start training at. It will be when our daughter indicates she is ready.
I started her early but still working at it right now. We probably started around when she was less than a year old.
plan to start at 18months
when she turns 18 months!!
20 months
i’ve been doing EC since week 3….he is in diapers for backup by i’m planning to move to underwear and trainers around 6 months
We were so fortunate – both our kids had no issues and really just decided to take interest and it was history from there.
My first son was trained by 2.5 years and right now I’m training my second son who is 2.5 years old, it’s a work in progress..lol, I also have a 16month daughter to train, kind of doing it with my son but I’m not setting any high expectations. 🙂
My gal is only 8 months old, so at this point, I have no idea when we’re going to begin potty training. I’m hoping it’s around 2 years old.
My daughter is 15 months old. I bought a potty chair and we have her sit on it before bath and cheer but I don’t plan to seriously start training her until she seems to understand it more closer to age 2.
I hope to start sometime around 2 years old
Around 2 years
At age 2!
I plan on try to start at 2
I have a 2 year old who doesn’t seem interested yet, so hoping around 2.5!!

my daughter started casually at 18 months, got serious at 2, and finished two weeks later. my son is 2 now and I can’t seem to get him interested.
I started potty training my older kids around 24 months, and I’ll probably do the same with my baby boy.

I’ll start at 2 years old
Started with my son at 22 months, by 24 he was good to go.
Planning the same with my daughter. Trainers will come in handy for her!
I have a niece that is 2 starting.
I try potty training at around 18months. If my kids aren’t ready, then I try again around 3
i have boys and they are HORRIBLE. My 5year old didn’t become totally trained until right around the time he turned 5. My 4 year old REFUSES to use the potty so he’s my big fight right now. IF i can manage to get HIM trained, then i will start with my 2.5 year old son.
My daughter started just after her second birthday.
My 2 year old has just trained herself (still has accidents napping and at night. She was 25mo — just took the potty off the shelf at the cottage and started to use it). Go figure 😛 First kiddo was significantly more difficult (and 3.5 when finally trained).
My son is 26 months old, and we are starting to get the ball rolling. I don’t expect it to work though for many more months.
I keep hoping that we will start each weekend but we haven’t found a potty chair we both like yet…
18 months! 🙂
We started potty training our son around 2.5 years old. These trainers would’ve been great to have! I’d love to win them for the second babe. 🙂
We hope to start training our son before 2, but he is our first and I’m not sure he will be ready!
I will start potty training when my daughter starts to show she’s ready. But I want some trainers ahead of time so I’m prepared when it come!
Planning to start sometime around age 2, but planting the seeds right now!
18 months
At 18 months my daughter was mostly potty trained, but then we were gone for a funeral out of town and the following week was memorial day weekend and we were out of town again. Then she quit going. She just turned 2 and is finally starting to go again.
I probably started around 18 months, and we are still at it! He is now 26 months.
I usually wait for cues that they are ready but in general it has been right around 18months.

Love the review on these cloth training pants! my DS is 22m and we started at 18m and he was doing good then stopped for some reason so we didn’t push. now summer is here and he’s almost 2 I think he’s ready he wakes up dry and will go in the morning.. I know what you mean about cleaning poopy he did in his training pants and it was impossible to pull them down and off without leaving a trail all down the legs.. YUCK! while these are a bit expensive for us i am definatley going to check them out online – thank you!
