Potty training is the one thing I never looked forward too. I think it’s one of those moments during motherhood that you wish your child can wake up one day and magically poop in the toilet without messing their underwear or calling you to wipe their butt.
To be honest I haven’t fully potty trained my daughter yet but I plan on doing it before my son arrives. I really don’t want to be buying nappies for 2 kids. But that comes to another question… Disposable or Reusable? I plan on doing more blog posts on this topic because honestly right now I’m a bit confused.
Kitana’s school potty trains and they asked me to send some panties which I did (one ended up getting stolen… like seriously? It was a Sofia one too) and she seems to be fine at school but when she comes home it’s another story. She never tells me when she wants to poop but she does say when she wants to pee. Why is it always easier with number 1 than 2?! There were a few accidents where she peed in her pants but then I discovered potty trainers.
What are Potty trainers?
Potty trainers are designed to allow your child feel “wetness”. This way they realise that something isn’t right in their pants and would tell mommy or daddy to change him/her.
Is it necessary?
To be honest, it isn’t compulsory. I know many moms who missed this step but if you are planning on introducing potty training slowly than it is a good idea. For me, it is. I’m not rushing potty training. I’m not sure if this is the best method to do it but I’m trying.
I’ve got 2 different brands which I’m busy reviewing at the moment but I’d like to talk about one that was sent to me by a fellow mom from the Mamahood Group.
I’ve mentioned this amazing group before and now I’m happy to say that I’m working with the admins for reviews. This group is dedicated to all things motherhood for moms in South Africa. The group has over 40 000 moms across SA and it just keeps growing! I feel like it’s time we get a Mamahood t-shirt. 😉
I’d like to introduce you to Fun Baby. A company that specializes in reusable nappies and potty trainers. Now there are loads of companies who do this so what makes this one stand out?
Well first the service I received was amazing, Frances is a sweetheart and because of that I will order from her. Customer service is extremely important to me and she nailed it! The training pants was neatly packaged and just by looking at it, I was excited to try it. My only disappointment was that it didn’t look like a pantie but instead a nappy. It was a bit confusing for my daughter because she has reusable nappies that look similar.
The Potty Trainer features:
- The outer layer is made of PUL which is waterproof and breathable. It can be washed and does not get deformed. No plastic cover is needed.
- Bamboo inner allows baby to feel wet which aids in potty training.
- The insert (excluded) is a blend made up of 4 layers of high quality, super absorbent microfiber and bamboo. It is the most popular insert as it is very absorbent.
- The patented pocket-style opening enables parents to customise the absorbency of each trainer by adding more inserts.
I love the touch and feel of the product and it does its job well but I would like to see more of a variety in the range especially different designs that a toddler would be excited to wear.
I’m still using the potty trainer so I might add more updates on this review as I like to review a product long-term.
The good news is the online store is having a sale! Who doesn’t love sales?! The normal price of the potty trainer is R163 (excluding inner) but you can get it for R146 (excluding inner).

I use cloth nappies already, and will keep using till my son is potty trained. I love that the trainers will help contain little mistakes when they do happen. Liked and shared!
These potty trainers sound amazing. Having my baby girl in october so will be keeping these in mind when potty training starts
These sounds amazing. Will be sharing with all my friends on FB indeed!
I think that the potty trainers are such a wonderful idea so easy to use and fits just like a panty and won’t mess everything. It was terrible potty training my 1st daughter she messed every where.
Did not know about or use trainers with my first 2, third is about to start with pottytraining, might give it a try.

Why did you not have this when my boy was potty training? 🙂 I think it is so cool and love the prints so funky! who would want to wear pants when they can show there cloth diapers.Can’t wait for our baby no.2!
Shared on facebook. Potty trainers another money saver (unless you get super cute prints, might make me go overboard again) and look forward to using them in 4 months time 🙂
Liked and shared on Facebook.
I use modern cloth nappies on bub, so will definitely try the training pants when he reaches the potty training stage 😀
Just love this idea and the prints on them are so pretty! I shared it on facebook and twitter!
Been thinking of ways to start my 23 month old boys potting training process. Haven’t heard of these Nappies or trainers until I read this post. they seem great to start my boy off..

I would love this because we are going to start in spring time and this will be great to teach him. Shared it on Facebook
These look awesome! Have tried to use pull ups/training pants (the nappy version), but my daughter can still feel that it’s a nappy, so I think she gets confused and then doesn’t tell me that she wants to go to the toilet. I’m sure these will help her feel and learn about potty training a lot easier! & will hopefully make mommy’s job a bit easier too
I shared your post on Facebook and liked “Fun Baby” on Facebook… Going to have a look at some of their other products now ☺️
I love the product & would like to see more of a variety in the range. love the features of Potty trainers ie: waterproof and breathable.Perfect for the little ones. I have Shared the review from You Baby and I’s Facebook Page and shared competition post on facebook and via twitter @rehanaseedat
These are awesome! I would love to potty train my grandson and have really been struggling. Also liked and shared on facebook
Think it gives them the freedom to learn. Mine only 5months now..still a while before we will have to climb that mountain.
I think it is better to get them out of nappies sooner – so it is a yes for me.
Shared on Twitter.
I have twins and i really adore your nappies
I have an adorable little girl of 19 months, who becomes very irritated with her nappies!
Training pants would be a great idea
Wish I had potty trainers with my firstborn. They seem like such a wonderful idea. Definitely need to try it when the second starts potty training. Shared on Facebook.

Copper scrap export The demand for copper is rapidly increasing due to the growing need for renewable energy and electric vehicles. However, the global supply of copper is currently facing a major challenge, and this could short-circuit the energy transition. The demand for copper has increased by 900% over the last 50 years, and the amount of copper that is required to build a wind turbine, solar panels and electric vehicles is significant. One of the key challenges is that the majority of copper is mined from a finite number of copper mines around the world, and many of these mines are in decline. The lack of investment in new mining projects is due to the high costs involved in starting a new mine. In addition, the environmental impact of mining is becoming more of a concern. The result is that global copper production has plateaued, and some experts predict that copper mines will not be able to keep up with the demand. The supply gap for copper is expected to widen in the coming years. According to the International Copper Association, demand for copper is set to increase by 50% by 2040, and this could result in a 15 million tonne supply gap. This supply gap could result in higher prices for copper, which would have a significant impact on the cost of renewable energy and electric vehicles. In response to this shortage, more efficient ways of using copper need to be developed. This includes the recycling of copper and the use of alternative materials. The development of new mining technologies is also key in achieving sustainable copper production. The use of automation and digital technologies can significantly improve the efficiency of mining processes, reducing the environmental impact and reducing costs. In conclusion, the looming supply gap for copper could have a significant impact on the energy transition. However, by investing in new technologies and exploring alternative materials, it is possible to achieve sustainable copper production. This will be vital in ensuring that the renewable energy sector and the electric vehicle industry can continue to grow and develop Scrap metal certificates Environmental copper disposal Copper wire recycling Copper scrap industry Scrap copper suppliers Metal waste sales
