We've trained two girls and one boy. The only major thing I noticed that was different is that dresses are much easier to deal with for potty purposes than pants (unless tights are involved, but that's a whole different story).

I think it’s easier to train a boy because you can more easily SEE when they’re peeing. And when you do Oh Crap, you’re basically staring at their private parts all day waiting for them to pee.

Because the structure of their anatomies are different?

Yes this has been my experience as well.

Nanny here. In my experience before two, the experience is the same. After 3 boys have been much harder.

My boy trained easier. He was the youngest and saw his sisters peeing and wanted to do it too- he was 18 mo and refused to wear a diaper again.

My daughters liked the toilet inserts. I think because they pee more with their legs together and their butts were small and they could fall in. Whereas my son straddles when he sits and didn’t like the insert.

Best underwear and those thick cotton ones on Amazon. So much better than anything target sells

Mom of four, two boys and two girls. Each was more different than the same. Some kids it comes easy to and others it is hard. I did not start my boys sitting to pee, like some do. Or use any kids potty chair, just a stool and the regular potty for all of them.

Dd literally trained in one day, both day and nighttime, with never an accident.

How old were they?

Exactly the same but also potty trained young. From my preschool teaching days, at around 3 the little girls were a bit easier and didn’t like poop in their diaper while the little boys didn’t seem to care.

DS saw no need for training. He was content with the diaper situation he was used to. DD was much more interested..

My mom said potty training every kid is different (I'm prepping to potty train my son). I'm one of three girls so it's not just a gender thing.

I potty trained both my DS and DD at 22 months. DD was easier - she got it in one day while DS took about five days. DS has always been more stubborn so I don’t know if it was personality or sex.

I potty trained my boy day and night 3 years ago. It took me 3 weeks for daytime potty trained at home, 2 months to be potty trained at daycare, and a week to be potty trained at night.

In a few months, I want to start potty train my girl. Are there any differences for boy and girl come to potty training in terms of technique, underwear style or others? Is it normally easier or more difficult for girl?
