The ease of use: A little independence goes a long way

One of the standout features of Pants is that they are incredibly easy to use. Unlike traditional open nappies, which often require a bit of wrestling and are difficult when little peach is standing, Pants can be pulled on and off just like underwear. This simple design encourages even the most active toddlers to participate in their changing routine. This newfound ability not only boosts their confidence but also makes parents’ lives a little bit easier.

Peachies co-founder, Morgan Mixon, shares:
“Pants are helping us teach my son how to push his pants down and pull them back up. We’re not quite ready to potty train yet, but we’re laying the groundwork by talking through the names of body parts as well as the verbs and motions needed to make changing - pants or otherwise - a success.”

Freedom of movement: Exploring the world

As your child begins to crawl, walk, and explore their surroundings, mobility becomes key. Pants provide the flexibility that traditional nappies simply can't match. With a more streamlined design, your child can wriggle, run, and play without feeling bulky or restricted. This level of comfort is essential as toddlers develop their motor skills and explore their independence. Plus, when your little one feels good in their nappy, it sets the stage for less fuss and more fun.

When to try or switch to Pants

Your little one’s cues might be:

    1. Showing signs of readiness for self-care skills
    2. Removing their open nappy by themselves
    3. Nearing potty training and looking to practice words and motion that aid this milestone
    4. Little peach prefers standing during changes
    5. You feel your toddler needs a more snug fit given their level of activity

Convenience for busy families

Life with a toddler can be a whirlwind, and nappy pants bring an element of convenience to your family’s routine. Whether you're at home or on the go, Peachies easy-to-use Pants simplify changes, making them ideal for bustling parents navigating public outings or travel. 

Parents can feel reassured knowing that with Pants, they can support their child’s independence by building practical skills. Peachies’ design aims to provide not just a high-quality nappy solution, but one that fits seamlessly into your busy lifestyle.
