Many of us have heard our parents or grandparents talk about how they were able to potty train our parents or us at a fairly young age. At first, this might sound contradictory to the usual advancements in our society. However, in those days they did not have the modern conveniences of today. We think most of you will agree that this was a strong motivator to get kids out of diapers. The arrival of washing machines made that part easier, but the diapers were still made of cloth and the disposable available were not very leak-proof.
All children have different reasons for wanting to be out of diapers.
It may be that they want to be like the big kids or are just uncomfortable with the dirty diaper. However, with the development of modern disposable diapers in perfect sizes and pull up versions just like underwear, the comfort of a wet diaper has improved dramatically. Thus making the child less motivated to get out of diapers. For many parents there are various motivators to have their child potty trained. The longer the child is in diapers the more expensive it becomes.
