Ready for real progress? Start the NextPhase
Meet NextPhase...
NextPhase is reusable, cotton training pants for ages 1–3 that bridge the gap between nappies and undies. With a semi absorbent, wetness awareness core, they catch small accidents without fully masking moisture, giving toddlers the gentle “I’ve gone” cue that builds potty awareness and speeds progress. Durable and machine-washable, NextPhase helps cut disposable waste and weekly spend while making daytime training calmer, cleaner, and more successful.
NextPhase Nappies are designed as a training aid, not a full blown nappy. Their semi absorbent, wetness awareness core catches small accidents but doesn’t fully mask moisture, giving toddlers the gentle “I’ve gone” cue that helps learning click faster. The breathable cotton body and underwear like, unisex fit (ages 1–3) is easy to slide on/off quickly for bathroom dashes, perfect for daycare and daytime practice.
Disposable Nappies, by contrast, prioritise maximum dryness and convenience. Their high absorbency gels lock moisture away so kids feel dry, which is great for long outings and sleep but can reduce the feedback toddlers need to build awareness. Disposables are easy use and bin, but cost more over time and create more waste. NextPhase is washable and reusable, lowering weekly spend and landfill. For naps, long car rides, or heavier wetters, you can add a booster or switch to disposables as needed.
Most toddlers show readiness between 1–3 years. Make the move to NextPhase when you notice these signs:
- Dry windows (1–2 hours): They can stay dry between potty trips.
- Noticing wetness: They tell you when they’re wet or dirty or tug at their nappy.
- Potty interest: Curious about the toilet or copying you or siblings.
- Predictable times: More regular wees/poos or a dry nappy after a nap.
- Understands simple steps: Follows “let’s try the potty” or “pull these down.”
Best time to start: Pick a calmer week (avoid big changes like moving), plan daytime first, and keep the first few days mostly at home.
How to switch to NextPhase (daytime):
- Use NextPhase for short, active stretches; set a gentle 30–45 min potty timer.
- Pack spares (3–5 pairs is a good start) and celebrate tries, not just wins.
- For naps and long car rides or heavier wetters, add a booster or use a disposable for that window.
Not quite ready?
If clothes are soaking through repeatedly, pause a week, try more frequent potty sits, and re-introduce NextPhase when dry windows improve. Every child’s timeline is different. Progress > Perfection.

Why NextPhase Reigns Supreme In Potty Training
NextPhase is built for learning, not just dryness. Its semi absorbent core catches small accidents without fully masking moisture, so kids actually feel when they’ve gone and connect that cue to the potty faster. NexPhase Nappies slide on/off in seconds, boosting independence and multiplying successful “practice reps” every day. Soft cotton keeps them comfy and focused, while reusable pairs keep routines consistent at home, daycare, and out and about. Save money and waste along the way. If your goal is quicker, calmer progress (not just staying bone dry), NextPhase is the clear choice.
Loved By Parent's Just Like You!
We recently got the Zoo print NextPhase Nappies and my toddler absolutely loves them. The cotton is so soft and they look so comfortable on her, no more nappy rashes like we had with disposables. She’s also started telling me when she needs to use the potty, and the accidents are happening way less now. It really feels like we’ve found the perfect step between nappies and undies. Plus, she’s so proud to wear her special Zoo nappies! Michelle.RSyd, NSW
I got the 6-pack of NextPhase Nappies and honestly it’s been a game changer. They’re super soft and comfortable, and I can tell my little one feels so much happier in them than in disposables. The best part is they don’t soak absolutely everything up like nappies do, she actually notices when she’s had an accident, which has helped her understand potty training so much quicker. Having multiple pairs has been a lifesaver too, because we can switch between them each day while others are in the wash. I couldn’t recommend them more for parents making the transition.

The NextPhase training pants have been such a relief for us. The fabric is so breathable compared to disposables, no more sweaty nappies or irritation, which has kept my toddler’s skin clear and comfortable. What I’ve loved most is how the design has helped her understand the difference between staying dry and having an accident. She’s starting to recognise it herself, which is a huge step forward in potty training. I went with the 6-pack and it’s been perfect, especially in the beginning when she was still learning and needed multiple changes a day. Honestly, they’ve made the whole process so much smoother.

Since switching to NextPhase, my little one has started noticing when they need to go to the toilet. They’re pulling the pants down on their own and telling me before it’s too late. Accidents are fewer, and I can see their confidence growing every day. Rachael.TPer, WA
The inside feels like soft cotton underwear. An absorbent layer catches small accidents but still lets kids feel wetness, and snug cuffs help curb little leaks. It’s quick to pull up/down and easy to wash. I recommend changing not too long after an accident, for daytime training, it strikes a smart balance between comfort and feedback. Mary.VSyd, NSW
NextPhase has genuinely sped things up for us. It wasn’t an overnight fix, there were still accidents and plenty of reminders, but the light wetness cue and underwear feel kept our toddler engaged. Compared to our first child, progress came faster and with fewer battles. It’s not a magic solution. Consistency still matters, but this made the whole process easier and noticeably quicker. Also have very cute and simple designs, which is exactly what I love, it's not too much and not too little. Tomeka. DSyd, NSW
We’ve just started using NextPhase and I’m already loving the cute, unisex designs, easy to mix with outfits and fun for our toddler to pick. The cotton feels soft, the fit is snug but comfy, and there’s no bulk under clothes. Early days, but our little one seems happy wearing them, and the light absorbency gives a gentle cue without causing meltdowns. So far, stylish and comfy. Promising start. Charlise. MMel, VIC
Great quality for the price, soft cotton, neat stitching, and they hold shape after washes. We started with the Starter Phase Bundle and are happy, but quickly realised we needed more pairs to keep momentum going. If you’re going to use them properly (daytime rotation, daycare, laundry days), I’d recommend the Growth Phase Bundle at a minimum, having extras makes the routine much smoother and less stressful. Casey. SMel, VIC
Really happy with NextPhase so far. They fit like comfy undies, the semi absorbent core gives a gentle cue without big leaks, and our toddler actually likes wearing them. Easy to wash, hold their shape, and feel well made. Overall, daytime training feels smoother. Lana. GMel, VIC
Simple, effective, and well made. The cotton is soft, the fit is secure without bulk, and the light absorbency helps our toddler notice without a meltdown. Washes well and dries quickly, overall a solid help for daytime training. Samantha. TSyd, NSW
