Thank you for joining us for our second blog in our three-part mini series exploring the tools that support your child on their toilet training journey with Conni. As your little one becomes more confident using the toilet and daytime accidents become less frequent, it’s time to take the next step: transitioning from Conni Kids TPs (Training Pants) to Conni Kids Tackers.

At Conni, we encourage the following pathway: Disposable Pull-Ups → Conni Kids TPs → Conni Kids Tackers → Regular Underwear

Conni Kids Tackers are the next phase in this journey, giving your child the feel of real underwear while still offering protection from light dribbles and minor accidents.

What Are Conni Kids Tackers?

Conni Kids Tackers and Tackers Sports are reusable, machine-washable, lightweight transitional undies designed for kids who no longer need full absorbency but aren’t quite ready to move on without a little backup.

They feature a soft cotton elastane outer with a built-in four-layer absorbent gusset to catch little leaks.  Our Kids Tackers and Tackers Sports allow children to feel their leak, helping to prompt them to use the loo.  Designed to look and feel more like regular underwear, they’re a discreet and supportive solution for children building toileting confidence.

Why Choose Tackers After TPs?

Once your child starts waking dry, making it to the toilet on time, or only having occasional dribbles, Tackers can give them that final boost toward full independence.

They also:

  • Look and feel like regular undies, supporting a sense of normalcy
  • Offer peace of mind for parents and carers
  • Help bridge the gap to wearing regular underwear
  • Are suitable for school, outings and daily wear

Tackers and Bedtime Support

While Tackers are more suited for daytime use and only absorb small leaks, some children may still need support at night. That’s where our Conni Kids Bed Pads come in - perfect for overnight protection, especially during toilet training or occasional night-time accidents.

For a more complete sleep solution, consider pairing our Bed Pads with a Conni Premium Mattress Protector. This waterproof, slight absorbent and breathable protector help extend the life of your mattress and ensure everything stays fresh and dry.

FAQs

Can Tackers be used at night?

Our Kids Tackers are best suited for daytime use and are not designed to manage full voids. However, some families may find they work for little night-time dribbles. We recommend pairing our Tackers with a Conni Kids Bed Pad for overnight support, or opt for our Conni TPs for added absorbency when needed.

How absorbent are they?

Conni Kids Tackers are designed for light leaks and dribbles. They’re perfect for kids who are almost fully toilet-trained but still need a bit of backup.

What sizes are available?

Tackers come in sizes to fit toddlers through to older children who may need some continued support during the day.

How do I wash them?

Wash in cold or warm water. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners to preserve the integrity of the absorbent layer. Line dry where possible.

Are they bulky?

Not at all. Tackers have a slim, comfortable fit that’s great under clothing, ideal for kids who don’t want anyone to know they’re wearing absorbent underwear.

Tackers are the final step in a child’s toileting journey, offering comfort, confidence and just the right amount of protection to support your child as they move toward independence.

With their lightweight design and subtle built-in absorbency, Conni Kids Tackers help kids feel more secure during their daily routines. Whether it's heading off to school, visiting friends, or simply playing at home, Tackers give children the freedom to enjoy their day without worry. They're a great way to build confidence and provide gentle reassurance as your child gets closer to wearing regular underwear full time.

By introducing Tackers at the right time, you're giving your child the chance to succeed - one step, one moment, one day at a time.

As your child becomes ready to make the final leap into regular underwear, nighttime protection may still be needed. Bed Pads and our Premium Mattress Protectors continue to play an important role in providing comfort and peace of mind during this transition.

Stay tuned for Part 3: One Last Step – Transitioning from Tackers to Regular Underwear, where we’ll cover how to support your child’s confidence at night while letting them feel like a big kid during the day.
