Son 100% trained with bare butt, pees in underwear or pull up
So, my 3.5 year old son is 100% potty trained with a bare butt. I heard a ton about that method, so that's what we did. If he's naked from the waist down he goes to the toilet every single time. If he's wearing a pull up, he'll pull that down to poop in the toilet, too, which is great. He's been like this for about a month.
The problem is when we put anything on his bottom, he pees in it. ANYTHING. Pull up, tight underwear, boxers, loose shorts, anything that touches his butt, he pees in it. Any other survivors of the bare butt training that can help us make the bridge to underwear?
Oh I am fearing this. Since your son is older and likely to understand, can you reward him with a sticker chart or something every time he keeps him underwear/pants dry or go pee pee on the potty? Just a thought. Also I have heard of the potty pony training pants helping kids understand that they have to keep potty pony dry. I haven't ever used them so no personal experience but I was thinking about trying them. My son just started training 5 days ago. He is almost 21 months old and so far as what I have seen I think this may be a hurdle for us as well.
I was gonna ask this same question hahaha. My daughter does the same thing. As soon as I put a diaper/underwear/etc. she pees in them!. Without them she always goes potty!!. I didn't leave her without a diaper to train her, I did the whole pulling down the undies etc. etc. Let me know if anything worked for you.
Or lets see if someone post some tips hahaha
Let her pick out what underwear to wear and remind her that Dora or whatever character is on them doesn't want to get wet.

i agree that retraining is most likely the best way to go. we did pullups on my son and we had to retrain in undies. its a horrible mess but after a few days they will get it. you might have to put your child in the undies and then set a timer for every 30 minutes or so and take them to the potty. make a HUGE deal about it and they will get it. hopefully you don't have carpet it your house! lol good luck
when is the right time to start potty training and how to start
