Potty Training Potty Patrol Alarm Diapers {Review}

Disclosure:  I received the product below to review in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

Potty training is honestly something I dread with kids.  My first child was 4.5 years old before he was fully potty trained, my next child was just turning 3 and now my last child is a few months past 3 years old.  She has been doing good going on the potty when I remember to ask her or if she was naked, but obviously she can’t be naked or asked all the time all day long.  I needed help.

I was skeptical when I heard about Potty Patrol Potty Training Alarm Diapers I was skeptical as I have heard about so many potty training devices out there.

So what exactly are Potty Patrol Alarm Diapers?

They are exactly what they sound like.  From the outside they look like traditional diapers, a little bulky but still a regular diaper; however there is a small spot in the front to clip on a device that plays “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” when your child wets their diaper.  The concept is once you hear that music playing for you to rush your child to the toilet so they can understand that when pee comes for them to head to the potty right away!

I never thought about it this way but Potty Patrol says:

Potty Patrol reduces the need for random sits on the potty during toilet training! Many children interpret this as punishment, because they don’t understand why they are confined to the potty for extended periods of time. Worse yet, if they don’t need to go to the bathroom at that time, they may feel they have failed, because they are unable to meet their parents’ expectations. Potty Patrol encourages success, because it ensures that children go to the bathroom for one purpose…to use it!

My poor kids would get so upset when they didn’t have anything come out when they were on the potty or when they’d not realize they had to go until after they already went in their diaper.  Potty Patrol is a great way for parents to help their child as well without trying to remember to put their child on the potty every few minutes.  The child may pee a little in their diaper but it does helps your child put two and two together – peeing = potty.  I will say too that this doesn’t help with pooping, meaning the device won’t play music, but it does work with pee.  My daughter got to the point where when she heard the music, she would go sit on her potty and try to finish there, which she did get some in the potty.

I definitely recommend trying out the Potty Patrol Alarm diapers.  I will say I was a little surprised they were diapers and not pull-up style, which is usually easier for pulling up and down for going to the bathroom.  These being diapers took a couple extra seconds to pull down while we rushed to the potty.  The concept though is there and the music did play when she started to pee.

To start off you buy the Starter Kit which includes the potty patrol alarm device and 24 special diapers.  Then you can buy refill diaper packs when you need it.  I will say too to be extra careful not to throw the device away accidentally as its easy to forget it while its attached to a diaper.  The diapers are also one size, designed to fit 25-40 lb. children.
