EcaPants are a patent pending specially designed training pant for babies and caregivers practicing elimination communication (EC); also known as Infant Potty Training, Natural Infant Hygiene and Elimination Timing. They also work great for traditional potty learning for those children who still require assistance undressing, or for any child who hates changes! EcaPants stay secure around a baby's waist for potty breaks, while the front panel flips down and back up again for easy potty access. No more struggling with undressing all day long! Plus, ecaPants are designed especially for the squirmy; your little one can be standing, crawling, sitting, or laying down and they can be put on with ease. EcaPants reach maximum absorbency and waterproofing after a few washing cycles in hot water and a few drying cycles on high heat. The hot water washes out the natural oils on the fabric; making them all the more thirsty. Drying on hot seals up the waterproof fabric which is needed because of the tiny holes created by the sewing needle. Machine wash, tumble dry. Do not use fabric softener (leaves a water repelling residue and can deteriorate waterproofing). Do not bleach. EcaPants are a light training pant and are designed to dry quicker than most all-in-ones. For many people they will dry in one regular drying cycle. Results vary due to dryers and the settings used.
