to just throw shitty knickers away?

I can't be the only one who does this, surely?

Potty training child, "code brown", unless it is a solid poo the whole lot just goes in the nappy bag.

I used to use cloth nappies, but knickers are about 50p each. Life is too short.

Is there a trick to getting them off without covering the child in muck?

(now on my forth year of potty training) (not the same child) (still not got the hang of it)

YANBU, we chucked them straight out and asked nursery to do the same if there were accidents there. If we don't want to do it, why ask them to? Primark and Asda are so cheap, they weren't worth attempting to rescue.

Of course not. I deliberately bought tons of cheap pants with the intention of being able to do this when necessary. None of them wore "nice" pants until they were reliably clean and dry. Not very green, but neither are disposable nappies and I used those too.

Hm, I have thrown maybe 4 pairs of knickers away, and I have 3 kids past potty training age.
I have more problems with vomit tbh but my husband is rather less squeamish with that.
With my first dc I would have considerably added to landfill if I'd thrown all those brown pants away. Nothing a 90 degree wash can't get out (with very few exceptions). Also all mine had special pants to "help" them get potty trained (Princesses, Hello Kitty, dinosaurs etc) and they were not cheap.

yanbu cos they're cheap.
but! cloth nappiers have been cleaning poo off for years, so we don't care Grin

Oh I'm far too Scottish to throw away something that can be washed but it's clearly very common. MW told my DH to throw about my pants after my waters broke. Nothing wrong with them after a wash. I grew up on a farm though so used to washing clothes with animal shit on them.

I used to cut them off too. It would be carnage otherwise and then straight in the bin.

When DCs were very little there was constantly a bucket of Nappisan on the go for leakages, so at that point I'd have washed and kept - now I bin.

When I used cloth nappies, I used flushable liners = easy.

She is better at wees than poos. I don't know why - the other one was the opposite.

If I don't notice, she sometimes gets some out of her knickers to give to me [hhmm]
