A diaper or a nappy is a type of underwear that allows the wearer to urinate or defecate without using a toilet, by absorbing or containing waste products to prevent soiling of outer clothing or the external environment. When diapers become wet or soiled, they require changing, generally by a second person such as a parent or caregiver. Failure to change a diaper on a sufficiently regular basis can result in skin problems around the area covered by the diaper.

Toilet training is the process of training someone, particularly a toddler or infant, to use the toilet for urination and defecation.

Pull-Ups is a brand of disposable diapers made under the Huggies brand of baby products. The product was first introduced in 1989 and became popular with the slogan "I'm a big kid now!" The training pants are marketed with purple packaging: boys' designs are blue and currently feature characters from the Disney Junior show Mickey Mouse Funhouse; girls' designs are purple with the Disney Junior show Minnie's Bow-Toons characters.
Training pants are undergarments used by incontinent people, typically toddlers, as an aid for toilet training. They are intended to be worn in between the transition between wearing diapers but before they are ready to wear regular underpants. Training pants may be reusable and made of fabric, or they may be disposable. In the US, disposable training pants may also be referred to as "pull-ups", and in the UK, training pants are frequently referred to as nappy pants or trainer pants. The main benefit of training pants over diapers is that unlike traditional diapers, they can be easily pulled down in order to sit on a potty or toilet, and pulled back up for re-use after the person has used the toilet. The main benefit of wearing training pants over regular underpants is that if the person has an accident, they do not soil their environment.
