Teaching Kids How to Wipe Their Bottoms
Whether you’re working with a potty training toddler or have an 8-year-old with an “itchy” bum, these tips will help you teach your child the proper way to wipe.
1. Use the right materials: Kandoo Flushable Wipes clean up to 30% better than toilet paper.
2. Show your child how to hold the wipe flat in their hand (not wadded into a ball).
3. Walk them through the process of wipe, fold, wipe, fold, until they don’t see anything on the wipe anymore. That’s how they’ll know they’re finished and ready to flush.
