Why you should potty train with flushable toddler wipes!

Toddler Flushable Wipes

It’s a major milestone. Your little one is ready to move on from diapers to using the potty! 

Once they’ve mastered pooping and peeing in the toilet or potty, it’s just as essential to teach your child to learn to wipe themselves properly. 

Though this won’t happen overnight, using flushable wipes can make the process a whole lot easier – and potentially more hygienic! Here’s why: 

Wipes are familiar 

Potty training can be a daunting for some children - it’s all so new. This is why it’s important to make the process feel fun and uncomplicated. If you’ve used baby wipes from the beginning, your child will be used to the look and feel of wipes, whereas toilet tissue may feel alien and far less soft on the skin.

They’re great for tiny hands  

Pura’s Flushable Toddler wipes are the perfect size for little hands. Mastering rolling and ripping toilet paper can be tricky, but simply pulling a wipe out of its packet is child’s play in comparison. 

Wipe right 

If your child doesn’t wipe up properly – especially after a poop – it can lead to an itchy, sore tushie, or even a urinary tract infection. Remember to teach little girls how to wipe from front to back to avoid causing infection. Start by you wiping your child first, then let your child use a flushable wipe to finish the job.  

Soft on little bottoms 

While mastering the wiping action, aggravation can occur if kids rub too hard. Pura’s Flushable Toddler wipes are super soft and enriched with soothing ingredients which won’t irritate the skin.

Sustainably made to the highest standards. Pura’s Flushable Toddler wipes are also made from biodegradable plant fibers and are 100% plastic-free, certified Vegan and cruelty-free.
