Potty training my child is officially my absolute least favorite part of parenting!  I keep thinking there has got to be a service where I pay someone to potty train my child for me.  Some sort of camp I send him to for a week.  Any amount of money is sounding reasonable at this point.  While I can get “Rocket” to sit on the potty, we’re still struggling with grasping the entire concept.  I still think it will be a few weeks, but we’re definitely all potty-minded around here.

I think there are still some parts about potty training that my little guy is worried about.  I am most worried about poop containment!  I’ve been gearing myself up for the idea of even more contact with the nasty stuff as I’m dumping, cleaning, and sanitizing this little potty chair.  Yuck!  There is a product available that is designed to squelch these fears of mothers abroad, completely taking out the ‘yuck’ factor.

TidyTots has created potty chair liners that surround any style or brand of potty chair with a bag that is removable and disposable.  I’ll never have to touch that potty!  No scrubbing, rinsing, or sanitizing necessary.

Perhaps all this time, I have been the squeamish one about this whole potty training experience, and now that TidyTots has calmed my fears, this whole process might go a little smoother!

Ok, for the most part, I really like this product.  The online picture says “fits all potty chairs”, but the actual packaging says “fits most potty chairs”, and ours must be one of these exceptions.  It must be the extra splash guard in front in addition to the wide bowl that makes our chair too wide for these bags.  If I really stretch and fight with the bag, I can get the whole pot covered, but by that point, there is hardly any bag left to catch anything, as the bag has been stretched tight.  There is no way I want to be fighting with this bag to get it off the seat when there is poop that could easily splash up into my face.  I think I’d be more likely to snip the bag off at that point, which makes the drawstring ties useless to me, unfortunately.

But don’t let me talk you out of these.  I think with a regular potty chair (without the bulky splash guard in front), these bags would be a great fit, no struggle involved, and easy to remove.  I think ours will be most helpful when we’re traveling or need to contain small messes.  These could be great at holding stinky diapers!

The potty is out and ready, lined and clean, and we’re really ready to tackle this!  You can find these on Amazon, diapers.com, and drugstore.com.
