16 Potty Training Supplies That Get the Job Done

The Mayfair NextStep potty training toilet seat has a toddler seat built right in, and it just flips down when a little kid needs to use the potty. A great choice for families who want to keep some of the clutter of potty training supplies out of the bathroom.

Erin P. said:  This is a great toddler training seat, because it attaches right to your regular toilet seat. Especially helpful if your young toilet trainee (like ours) has taken over the guest bathroom! Your company doesn't have to worry about removing a seat when they gotta go! This seat is available in 3 different colors, so you should be able to find one that matches your toilet!

If the thought of emptying that tiny floor potty grosses you out, add the BabyBjörn toilet trainer to your potty training supplies. This convenient seat can slip right over your regular toilet, is easily cleaned, and is appropriate for both boys and girls.

Potty training underwear is a step between diapers and regular underwear. Kids still feel the sensation of wetness, but the thicker, absorbent inner layer will buy you a little more time than your typical "big kid underwear." They are machine washable, too.

The IKEA toilet training potty is super affordable, light and easy to clean, and features an anti-slip bottom for safety.

Hannah Scott said:  The best part of this potty chair is how easy it is to clean! The green piece lifts outs, which makes it a breeze to empty into the toilet and then rinse/sanitize. Sometimes simple really is best.

If you have a boy and are finding yourself with messes on the toilet seat and bathroom floor, these toilet targets are potty training essentials for you (or him)! Boys try to aim and drown the target, keeping the pee where it belongs. For a no-frills alternative, you can try this trick out with Cheerios, too.

Even after kids master using the toilet during the day, overnight potty training can take longer. These Goodnites bed mats are potty training supplies you'll be glad you stocked up on when you're faced with a wet bed to change in the middle of the night. Just take off the mat and put on a new one instead of having to change the sheets.

This potty training watch can be a game changer for many kids, and reminds them to try to use the potty at an interval of your choosing. Try it if you find yourself struggling to remember to set a timer.

Kristy Pepping said:  We used this watch with our third child and it worked really well. A lot of the challenge of potty training is learning when to use the potty. Before children get when to go on their own, this watch can be set at different intervals to go and try. It helps kids to get into a good pattern that eventually leads to going to the potty on their own.

For families that prefer a potty seat vs a potty chair, this step up style gives kids the ability to get themselves onto the potty more independently.

Kristy Pepping said:  We recently bought one of these for our child who is potty training. It's great because it's a stool and potty seat in one. It folds flat to sit in the corner of your bathroom and can be easily and quickly set up for potty training time.

This portable potty seat can fit in a diaper bag and can make kids feel comfortable using the bathroom in unfamiliar locations.

Kristy Pepping said:  These are great if you are using the Potette Potty for training. Place these liners inside the floor potty for easy clean up!

The best potty seat for your toddler might be one that features his or her favorite characters. Handles help with stability and comfort.

Hanna Andersson training underwear is made from organic cotton with sensory-friendly flat seams, and comes in a variety of whimsical patterns that make them fun to wear.

Alexandra F. said:  These were the softest, thickest training underwear we tried. I love them! Plus, once they're ready to move on, Hanna Andersson's regular underwear is also the best. I always just get the largest pack of whatever's on sale.

This potty hook rests on the edge of the toilet tank, and is a convenient place to hang a potty training seat in between uses.

Flushable wipes are more effective than regular toilet paper (especially the stuff provided in most public restrooms), and many parents consider them potty training must-haves when kids are learning to wipe.

Kristy Pepping said:  When your child begins potty training, it can be hard to explain how much toilet paper to use for wiping. Training with flushable wipes takes away the guess work! These moistened wipes also make wiping easier.

Learning to use the toilet requires a lot of hand washing, and a soap your toddler can easily use (and wants to use) is a potty training essential. Foaming soap can work better for a kid who is still getting comfortable with hand washing, as it can be easier to use and rinses well. Choose a fun color or scent that your child will love, or let them pick it out at the store!
