That night after yet another meltdown over sitting on the potty.
I did what every parent does when they’re desperate.
I started Googling.
Scrolling through blogs, forums, TikToks… anything.
Looking for something different.
Something that actually worked.
That’s when I read something that completely changed how I saw potty training:
“Kids need to feel the difference to learn the difference.”
And suddenly it all made sense.
Disposables? They absorb too well. kids don’t notice when they’re wet.
Regular undies?
Way too messy, way too fast.
Over and over, I kept seeing parents talk about these training undies.
Not diapers.
Actual underwear — with a built-in layer that helps toddlers feel the accident, without flooding their clothes.
And the brand that kept popping up in reviews, in blogs, in videos was UpAiry.
I asked a few parents in my mom group and daycare.
Several of them had tried UpAiry and every single one said the same thing:
They work.
I’d heard big claims before from other “training pants.”
But this felt different. And honestly?
At that point, I had nothing to lose.
So I ordered a pack of UpAiry Training Underwear.
