When it came to potty training my daughter, I honestly never thought about anything passed the whole diapers stage until her third birthday hit. I noticed a friend of mine’s daughter had been potty trained at 3 as well so I started thinking, OK, maybe I need to get my kiddo out of diapers and into training pants. Unfortunately it didn’t seem like anyone was willing to share how NOT easy potty training was going to be. I mean, I couldn’t even get my daughter to go near a toilet, let alone sit on one and do “something”. She had no problem standing in front, to the side or on top of one, but when it came to sitting and doing her business on a toilet she was not having it.
I figured I’d try to be as on point as possible, so I made myself a list of what I needed to do get my daughter potty trained and make sure she was successful:
- Grab some cute Huggies Pull-Ups training pants
- Buy a training potty
- Get a step stool
- Find a good potty training book
By the end of potty training mission day 1, my list had been utterly transformed into something completely different:
- Grab some cute Huggies Pull-Ups training pants
- Keep her from peeing on the floor
- Make a potty break schedule
- Stock up on bribery items
My fears of potty training went from, “boy, I hope this doesn’t take too long for her to catch on” to everything from “Please don’t let her decide to pee half way to the potty” and “If I’m bribing her to go into the bathroom, does that make me a bad parent?”. Luckily my second list seemed to do me much better justice than my first. Not to mention that once my daughter noticed her favorite Disney’s Monsters U characters on her new Huggies Pull-Ups Training Pants, she was even more willing to wear them and play along with our new potty training schedule.
In fact, the Huggies Monsters U designs even helped us to create our own potty break game! Whenever I’d wonder if she needed to go potty I’d ask her, “What does a little Monster take?” and she would answer “A potty break!” if she needed to go! Luckily the Monsters U designs come in both boy and girl colors so once my son is ready, we can grab some just for him as well! Fingers crossed that all my potty training fears are put to bed soon and my daughter will emerge a graduate of Huggies Monster’s University Pull-Ups Training Camp! Stay tuned!!
Pull-Ups helps take the scare out of potty training by making it fun and easy with new Monsters U character training pants! You can help make potty training easier by staying consistent and using rituals like the potty break. Make it a game and ask your toddler, “What does a little monster take?”…“A Potty Break!”

These pull ups are so neat! they would have been helpful when I potty trained my boys. We only had solid color pull ups back then. 🙁
