Cleanliness in washable diapers

Summary
Using washable nappies during potty training
Cloth diapers offer a reassuring alternative during potty training. Unlike ultra-absorbent disposable diapers, they allow the child to feel the wetness, thus promoting body awareness. This helps them recognize their needs while remaining protected in case of accidents.
Tips to facilitate the transition
Here are some tips for gently supporting your child:
- Introduce the potty gradually while continuing to use washable nappies;
- Let your child choose their own underwear to boost their self-esteem and strengthen their motivation;
- Celebrate every step forward, however small, and avoid any pressure or punishment;
- Opt for moments of calm transition, without major changes in routine.
Encourage independence
Reusable training nappies allow children to actively participate in this stage. They are easy to put on and take off, promoting independence. This gentle approach helps children build confidence and approach potty training without stress.

Yes, it's an excellent transition option. Cloth diapers help with awareness during the day, while disposables ensure complete comfort at night.
