My husband was concerned/grossed out by the fact that if I left the kids bare bottomed for potty training, their genitals would touch all our stuff. I laughed at it at first but now that I think about it I can see his point! I am planning to train my boy (3 yr) and my girl (22 months) together so all advice welcome!
Did you do bare bottom method? How many days of my son's d*ck on my couch can I look forward to?? Is it unhygienic for my girl?!

It's a little weird at first, but you get used to it. And then you clean the house when they are doing well. It took us about 5 days (on and off) of bare bottom. Toddlers aren't exactly the most hygienic anyway, so I think it just comes with the territory. We kept DS in the kitchen and bathroom only until he was able to hold it/ wear underwear. So we basically just had to clean the floor and the chairs.

hahaha - we did Oh Crap! Potty Training which has them go bare bottomed for block 1 (which, for us, was only half a day... or maybe a full day? I can't remember). We rolled up our rugs and then put towels down on any upholstery. It was totally fine. The few accidents he had were while he was standing up over hardwood!

We only did 1 day bare bottomed, and DS hated it. He didn't like being naked and having his "penis hanging out"....his words. Lol!

Well.....I guess i don't really care about genitals touching stuff, but I did put a blanket over the couch to protect it from dribbles/pee accidents. We did a couple days of naked time and I also took E outside to play in the yard one day

I didn't think it was gross. My son was clean and of really kept him off of the furniture because I was more afraid of accidents than his parts touching something. In any case, we really only did bottomless for maybe 2 days.

Eh, we didn't worry about it. We kept her off the couch so she wouldn't pee on it, but she sat bare butt on the floor, in her booster seat, etc!
