💬 Shorties – The Most Absorbent Shorts-Style Training Pants in NZ 💛
Perfect for daytime confidence, car trips, sleepovers, or the final stages of night training, these reusable training pants give kids freedom and independence while reducing mess and stress.
✨ Soft & comfy – feels just like real shorts
✨ Confidence building – helps kids feel grown-up and proud
✨ Smart design – sewn-in waterproof pad flips out to dry faster
✨ Easy care – wash and tumble-dry like everyday clothing
💛 Why Parents Love Shorties
Shorties let your child practice being dry while cutting down the cleanup.
They aren’t nappies – which means they don’t hold unlimited wetness – but they do give kids time to wake up, reach the toilet, and build awareness.
💧 Flannel-topped pad – lets your child feel dampness to encourage bladder awareness
💧 Generous absorbency – holds approx. 140–250 ml, depending on size
💧 Confidence boost – wearing Shorties instead of disposable nappies helps kids feel like big kids
“Brilliant for the last stage of night training – they gave us our confidence (and sleep!) back.”
💡 If your child still fills a disposable nappy overnight, our Pullups are a better choice — they’re fully leakproof and can completely replace disposables.
🧵 Sizing & Custom Fit
Our sizes are true to NZ sizing but slightly generous for comfort. Every child’s shape is different, so we offer free custom fitting.

🌙 Night Training with Shorties
I used these with my own kids in the final stage of night training and found them brilliant for:
💛 Giving enough time to wake and reach the toilet
💛 Reducing middle-of-the-night cleanups
💛 Helping kids feel proud and grown-up compared to wearing disposables
Pair them with a Brolly Sheet for extra peace of mind.
If your child isn’t quite ready for Shorties, try our Pullups – they have a full waterproof outer and higher absorbency for deeper sleepers.
