Do you think diapers prolong Potty training?

Awhile back I read an article that presented the idea that disposable diapers prolonged ‘potty training’ because when used they were still comfortable. Not thinking much about it I moved on. Twice in the last couple of months I’ve worn and used disposables while out and about. (I do wear diapers at times when in public but rarely use). They were comfortable, even for several hours. 1. Do you find used diapers comfortable? 2. Do you think it prolongs the toilet training process?

Thanks

I’m not sure on disposable diapers. It all depends on when he or she is ready. I remember when size 6 diapers came out. Old fashion pediatrician was very upset at other pediatrician.

Surely think so. Use to be most were out of diapers by 2. Now some 4 and 5. Not a big deal for parents any more, just buy bigger diapers and make the manufacturers happy$$$. If you had to wash and dry cloth diapers we would expedite potty training.

If you were trained before 3 chances are you never remembered being in diapers. What happens after 5-6 when you have long term memories.

Is it the right thing to diaper for bed wetting? Surely if you are in diapers at 8-9 you will always remember that. Is this good or bad?

Personally, I suspect the comfort of the new disposables is only half the equation. The old nature vs nurture thing. I was toilet trained at a year and a half, That was in cloth diapers and rubber pants. Not the most comfortable diaper setup. Yet I still ended up with a diaper fetish. I think the bigger driver is parents that don't have a problem with their kids staying in diapers until the child decides they want to use the toilet. It used to be bragging rights with the post war Moms to proudly tell how soon their baby was out of diapers. The earliest one wins. I remember wetting my training pants on a nice summer day in front of my Mom and neighbor probably around the age of 1 1/2 years. I recall just having to have to pee. No feelings of pleasure or enjoyment. I just had to pee. I do recall the odd feeling of pee running down my legs, but I don't recall any negative of positive emotions. It must have been unusual to me as i still recall it so many years later. So, I'm pretty sure I was in full time potty training.

What has changed is the parents' attitude towards diapers. Parents today don't seem to be put off by their children still in diapers later in life. My nephews are 3 1/2 and still in diapers. Neither they or their parents have a problem with that. That said, there's no reason for a child to want out of diapers. I suspect when the day comes where parents want their kids out of diapers and want to invest the effort, kids will be out of diapers a lot sooner.

I know for a fact that diapers delay potty training.ive read endless articles online about parents not sure what to do, people have kids of all ages that literally don't want to stop enjoying diapers.many kids don't know how to tell a parent, and many that want to fake bed wetting to be in diapers.

Everyone really needs to check out toddler diapers.they are incredibly amazing, the bigger size the designs, how they feel and look.size 8 and 9 Huggies and Pampers are certainly not for toddlers when they fit teens and adults.

The manufacturers know this too.they are not only very attractive and creating massive curiosity amongst endless people.then we have pull ups and goodnites fitting teens and adults very well, it's not all about how much a person weighs,I am 180 and 34 waist and I love goodnites, they fit and feel comfortable and incrediblely amazing

Metoo, part of the pressure on getting the child trained, was how difficult it was to wash diapers (no disposables then). My mom had to heat water and then use a small washing machine. Then heat more water for rinsing. Then hang them to dry. Repeat almost daily
