IME, this is quite a mistatement! I will repeat that among us and our
peers that the FASTEST and most effortless way to potty train is to let
toddlers run around naked.

Discomfort does little or nothing to teach them how their bodies function
and how to control it. Being able to see and feel the results of using
the bathroom by not having restricting clothes in the way is the most
direct way of teaching them what is going on.

JM(NS)HO, based on real life experience!
