The use of disposable training pants can delay potty training. Disposable pants tend to have greater absorbance leaving your child feeling more comfortable after an accident. They also feel more like diapers. Cloth training pants have less absorbency and will allow your child to feel the mess. This will allow them to learn their bodily cues faster. They will learn what it feels like just before they are wet or soiled. When they know these feelings they can then work on making it to the potty on time. This is a key point of potty training and the reason that fabric pants are better.
