Abstract
Abstract A disposable training panty is provided and consists of a waterproof panty portion, an absorbent liner, an elastic waistband, elastic leg bands and a changeable happy face when wet printed thereon to help stop a child from wetting. The training panty can be opened at the crotch area so that the child can be removed from a soiled training panty. In a modification the elastic waistband is removable from the training panty so as to be used again with a new panty portion.
