Oricom Intelligent Potty Review, Tips For Toilet Training and a Giveaway #SLHFeaturedThursdays

There comes a time in every toddler's life when they begin to notice their bottom!

Maybe it's all that attention they get thanks to years of constant nappy changes. Maybe it's the constant trips to the loo made by other family members that become suddenly interesting to a toddler or maybe it's just the sudden realisation that the 'things that go on downstairs' make them feel a bit uncomfortable and smelly. (Perhaps the reactions of others around them when a nappy needs changing plays a part.)

Whatever it is that triggers this awareness of bodily functions in little people, you can bet that the day will come when potty training time is ripe and unavoidable.

Some signs to look for that may indicate your child might be ready to toilet train can include:

Your child dislikes the sensation of a wet or dirty nappy and may indicate to you in some way that they need changing.

Your child might begin to show an interest in visiting the bathroom and may wish to accompany you when you go to watch and learn.

Your child can manage to do some basic undressing.

Your child is able to understand and carry out your basic everyday commands "Do you need to go to the toilet?"

Having a nappy that is sometimes dry can indicate a bladder that is mature enough to hold onto its contents long enough to be emptied in one go. In older children this may be something you might observe at nap times.

Your child might show a talent for being independent and may like to do things by him or herself and enjoys the praise offered as a reward for their achievements.

Most important of all, your child is willing to learn to use a potty or toilet and is in no way resistant to the idea.

Personally, I prefer to tackle toilet training in the three and a half year age group. This seems to be an ideal age for the right degree of understanding and co-operation that is required from a headstrong toddler or pre-schooler and it can be a quick and easy affair the longer you delay this next stage.

However, not every child is the same and every situation is different. You may wish to begin this next step earlier, (or later) depending on your own circumstances. Good luck either way!

Toilet training has certainly come a long way since I last underwent the challenge around four years ago now. I have recently been introduced to the amazing Oricom Intelligent Potty and was sent one to road test here. The Intelligent Potty promises life without nappies - sooner.

The Intelligent Potty gets little people interested in toilet training via its technology - It's a talking potty which enables you to leave a personalised congratulatory message (up to 6 seconds in length) to encourage your child to relax and feel proud of their toileting achievements.

As soon as your little one sits and begins to 'go,' the sound of running water plays after 2 seconds providing the necessary encouragement to continue. Once your child has finished and stands up, your personalised pre-recorded message will play, followed by a popular children's tune. (There are ten different songs to choose from.)

 

You'll never miss an opportunity to congratulate your child's efforts with this potty!

You can constantly vary your personalised message on the sound module (located beneath the potty itself) and the tune too, so that your child remains interested over the weeks or months that you continue to train and beyond.

The Oricom Intelligent Potty comes in two décor friendly and attractive colours: Stone and Menthol.

Ergonomically, the potty has been designed with a high back to encourage the correct posture and sitting position. There is also great side support to prevent your child from tumbling sideways. Smooth, rounded edges eliminate the risk of the pinch factor too.

While we're not quite ready to take on the potty training challenge just yet, we've put the potty out for our two year old Daughter to fiddle and become familiar with anyway. In time, I know she will truly enjoy using this potty. In the meantime, it's a great little toddler play seat!

The IP100MT Oricom Intelligent Potty is RRP $89.95 and a full list of stockists can be found on Oricom's website.
