Whether your little one is starting to show signs of readiness or you're simply ready to try something more sustainable, switching to reusables can feel like a big change. But with Conni Kids TPs (Training Pants) and Tackers, you're not doing it alone. Designed to support growing independence while making the transition smoother for families, our reusable options are here to help you feel confident every step of the way.

Why switch from nappies?

Disposable nappies are super convenient, but they’re not designed to support toilet training. They quickly absorb moisture, making it hard for children to connect the feeling of a full bladder with the act of using the toilet. Our reusable options allow kids to feel the sensation of being wet, helping them build awareness and prompting action.

There’s also the environmental impact to consider. In Australia alone, it’s estimated that around 1.5 billion disposable nappies end up in landfill each year!  Roughly 5.6 million nappies are discarded every single day, according to Little Eco Baby. On a global scale, the numbers are even more staggering, with over 167 billion disposable nappies thrown away annually. Each one can take up to 500 years to break down, meaning they’ll outlast your child and their grandchildren.

By choosing reusable options like Conni TPs and Tackers, you’re not only supporting your child’s independence but also reducing your family’s contribution to long-term landfill waste.

Start with Conni Kids TPs

Our Conni Kids TPs (Training Pants) are a great option for toddlers beginning their toilet training journey. With a waterproof outer layer and light to moderate absorbency, they’ll catch little accidents while still allowing your child to feel wet - the key for building that brain-bladder connection.

While our TPs are more suited to daytime training, they can also be used at night when paired with a Conni Bed Pad for added peace of mind.

Transition to Tackers

Once your child is mostly staying dry or just having little dribbles, Conni Kids Tackers and Tackers Sports are the next step. They look and feel more like regular undies with a soft, breathable fabric and our four-layer absorbent gusset. They're ideal for kids who need just a little backup at school, on outings or just playing at home.


Every child is different. Some might start with Training Pants during the day and move to Tackers as they gain confidence, while others may need a bit more time and support, especially overnight. Pairing Training Pants with a Conni Bed Pad is a great way to stay consistent with reusables, day and night. If you're unsure or your child is experiencing ongoing accidents, a chat with a continence nurse can be incredibly helpful. You can connect with one through Continence Health Australia: continence.org.au

FAQs

Can I skip the Training Pants and go straight to Tackers?

If your child is mostly dry and just dribbling now and then, yes! But if they’re still doing full wees, the slightly higher absorbency of our TPs may be more suitable to start with.

Do they feel like nappies?

Not at all. They’re designed to be soft and comfy and much less bulky than disposables and breathable, even when wet.

Are they hard to clean?

Not at all! Just rinse if soiled, then cold machine wash and hang to dry. No harsh chemicals or soaking required.

Toilet training is a big step, but choosing reusable options doesn’t have to be hard. With Conni Kids TPs and Tackers, you’re setting your child up for success while making a positive impact on the planet. It’s a change that supports their independence, protects your home from little accidents, and helps reduce the mountain of waste created by disposable nappies.

So when the time feels right, take that first step with Conni. We’ll be here for the journey.
