What our customers say
These training undies are brilliant. They're good quality and the material is so lovely and soft. I sized up so they'd last longer and thought they may leak because of this, but no leaks so far and with one insert in, my sons pants stay dry. They're easy on and off with the stretchy waist and domes.

Frequently asked questions
Can Gogo Shorties be used overnight?
Gogo Shorties are designed for daytime toilet learning and light protection from small accidents. They’re not designed for overnight use, when children typically need greater absorbency and leak protection while they sleep.
Do I need to lanolise the training pants?
No. Gogo Shorties should not be lanolised. Unlike traditional wool covers, they have a built-in waterproof layer. Lanolising may reduce the absorbency of the gusset and affect how the training pants perform. Simply wash on a gentle cycle and line dry. For more information on how to care for your training pants visit Caring for your Gogo Shorties.
Can Gogo Shorties be used out and about?
Yes. They are designed to support everyday life, offering light protection for small accidents while still supporting your child’s learning. If you feel like you need extra peace of mind when out and about you can also add a Booster Pad Insert for added protection.
Can I add extra absorbency?
Yes. Gogo Shorties include a hidden pocket designed for Booster Pad Inserts.
These can be added when a little extra reassurance is helpful, such as for outings, naps in the car, or earlier stages of toilet learning.
How many pairs will I need?
Most families start with around 3–8 pairs, depending on washing frequency.
In the early stages, several changes a day is normal. Starting with a smaller number can also work if you are introducing them gradually.
When should I start using training pants?
Training pants are often introduced when your child starts showing an interest in the toilet, staying dry for longer periods, noticing when they wee or feel wet, or are able to pull their pants up and down with little help. There’s no set age or perfect time to start. Every child is different, and you know your child best. Follow their cues and choose a time that feels right for your family.
Gogo Shorties are designed to gently support this transition, at your child’s pace.
Why is feeling wet important for toilet learning?
Feeling wet helps children become more aware of when they’ve had a wee and begin making the connection with using the toilet. This growing awareness can help support independence over time.
Are Gogo Shorties leakproof?
Gogo Shorties are designed for small accidents and are not a replacement for nappies. They include absorbent layers and a thin waterproof barrier for added protection, but larger accidents may still leak.
How are Gogo Shorties different from nappies?
Nappies are designed to provide higher absorbency and keep your child feeling dry, while Gogo Shorties are designed for the toilet learning stage. They provide light protection for small accidents while allowing your child to feel wetness, helping support body awareness as they learn at their own pace.
What are Gogo Shorties training pants?
Gogo Shorties are reusable toilet training pants designed to help bridge the transition from nappies to underwear. They provide light absorbency for small accidents while still allowing your child to feel when they’re wet, helping support awareness during toilet learning.
