6 Boy Potty Training Tips You’ll Want To Follow

Guess what we’re starting this weekend? Potty training! I am beyond terrified but SO ready to stop changing two sets of diapers a day. Plus, bless his heart, Hudson has been ready for quite some time. So we are taking the time this weekend to get into boy potty training! My mom is the expert potty trainer: she had both me and my brother done in two days. I, however, am not so confident in my own boy potting training skills.
I have stocked up on what my research has deemed the necessities, like these CVS Training Pants. Obviously, when Hudson is in the house he’ll be wearing underwear or nothing at all until he’s potty trained. But when we go out during the day, I wanted something that he could wear in case of accidents. These boy potty Training Pants fit the bill perfectly!
They’re stretchy and thin and feel like normal underwear! If Hudson does have an accident, the design on the front fades. Apparently this is great for teaching him: “Look, you peed in your pants”. And even though the CVS Training Pants are thin, they’re super absorbent and have flexible leg cuffs to prevent leaks. So, goodness forbid, if he has an accident while out and about I don’t have to worry about changing his clothes too! The sides are also re-fastenable so we can reuse them until he has an accident. I love cutting down on waste (get it? haha).
I’ve also gotten these items to help with our boy potty training:
- Stickers for rewards each time he goes
- Potties for both in the living room and his bedroom so he has easy access
- Travel seat so he can go out in public.
- Candy for rewards if stickers aren’t enough. Judge me all you want, I gotta do what I gotta do. Desperate times my friends.
- Extra sheets for when he pees the bed.
- Extra wine for me!

I’m in the middle of potty training my second boy right now, love the rewards idea!
What type of travel seat do you use? Does it fit in a diaper bag? I found a small lysol can at Babys R Us that fits perfectly in our diaper bag. I also found toilet seat covers as well. Potty training and taking the little ones out in public can be a challenge!
I hated potty training. My boys were very hard to train. I used a potty watch to remind them to go potty.
These are great tips! I have BGG triplets and my son was by far the easiest to potty train. His sisters are very stubborn!
Thank you! My baby is one, and I am already stressing about potty training. These tips will definitely help when that time comes! Pinning for later!
This is upon me too soon. My boy is about ready… I… am not.
Your son us so precious! Good luck with the potty training. I think there are all kinds of things to look forward to and not look forward to at each age, and that’s one that I’m just not overly excited about…
These are great tips! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
No judgement on the candy here. I saw how effective it was for my niece and nephew so I fully plan to utilize it if necessary with my daughter.
Potty training is definitely a challenge, especially with boys. Those training pants are adorable! Good luck!
All the best to you!! We did the naked weekend thing and that worked well for us! Every child is so different – it’s all about what works for you!
Your son is literally the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. My goodness! Great tips 🙂
Your kids are seriously so cute!!!! I wish you all the luck in the world for your new endeavor!!! lol
I want to pinch the cheek of that cute little boy. Anyway, thank you for the tips! 🙂
Good luck to you! I am the worst at potty training, ugh. Two so far and I feel like I still have NO clue what I’m doing!
Those look cute! I love the designs on them. Good luck with your potty training. I, glad those diapering days are behind me now, but do miss my babies.
I never experienced potty training boys before. I thought it would be a lot easier compared to girls! I guess it’s the same for all of us.
I really got lucky with my son. We barely had to do much for potty training. Whew.
I didn’t know that they made travel ones for on the go that is great to have. No judgement on the candy here as i would do the same
Lord knows I need these tips badly my boy is doing good but we need to be great
Potty training can be a bit stressful for everyone. It’s good to have a game plan! My son didn’t have an issue using the bathroom for peeing but he refused to do #2. Training pants are a must!
We could’ve used this with our first who was a boy. Our second who is a girl just wants to be like big brother. Two very different experiences! Training pants were a must with our first.
I like that they look and feel like real underwear. That’s a big confidence booster for the kids.
My son is potty trained but he still wets at night. I use these same training pants for him.
I haven’t started potty training my daughter yet, but I’m sure it will be challenging.
Your little guy is so cute. Thanks for the tips potty training always seems like such a big task and accomplishment. It is easy to get lost on where to start.
He is so cute! I agree creating a reward system really cements the idea that it is a good thing to go on the potty and should be celebrated!
Potty training looks so hard! Thnks to this tips it would be easier!
After potty training two boys I’d say these are some good tips. We never used pull-ups, but I can see their usefulness.
Great tips, I’m really going to use them when the time comes.
