Small Business Spotlight: Peejamas: Alternative For Diapers
The world needs more small businesses. Those small businesses need more support. The support has to come from people like you and me. So, I wanted to take the time to shine the spotlight on an exceptional small business. As we approach the first anniversary of beginning our potty training journey with Chulengo, I wanted to focus on Peejamas. This company has revolutionized night-time potty training for families.

Who is Peejamas?
Started in 2016 by a father of three, Peejamas is a five-person company based in Utah that is changing the potty-training industry. With a focus on night-time potty training, Peejamas has created an affordable, environmentally-friendly, trendy alternative to night-time diapers and disposable training pants. Peejamas save the sanity of parents and build the confidence of children who are at risk for night time potty accidents.
What are Peejamas?
Made from bamboo and cotton, Peejamas have a built-in absorbent, cloth-diaper. Each pair is made to fit and feel like regular pajamas, but hold urine when accidents happen. Peejamas can hold up to 15 times their weight in urine. They are snug enough to contain the urine but loose enough to make children think they are wearing regular pajamas. Peejamas can be washed up to 300 times before losing their absorbency power.
Where can you buy them?
Based out of Utah, Peejamas, are shipped directly to your door, worldwide. One major win for not having to step foot into a store to purchase. Another major win to have them shipped around the world.
When should you use them?
Were you thinking about potty training? Do you have the day-time potty training down, but avoiding the night-time potty training? Chulengo has been day-time potty trained for almost a year. I’ve relied on pull-ups at nap and night times to prevent accidents. After getting pregnant again, I didn’t have the time or energy to handle potty accidents at sleep time. I dreaded the idea of changing bed sheets in the middle of the night, especially after we added Bambino to the family. So, I avoided night-time potty training.
Peejamas were just what I needed to take the leap and start sleep-time potty training. I started having Chulengo wear Peejamas at nap time, instead of a pull-up. And I can’t believe I am saying this [crossing my fingers], but a month into using Peejamas at nap time and he hasn’t had a nap time accident.
I introduced the Peejamas to Chulengo as “special nap pants.” I made a huge deal about being able to wear underwear with these unique pants. So, he was pretty excited to put them on. Every day, I tell Chulengo how proud I am that he is wearing underwear at nap time.
For some time, I would still put him in a pull-up at night, but he started waking at night to tell us he had to use the potty. So, I held my breath and put him in Peejamas at night time. He does occasionally have an accident, but more often than not, he wakes up dry. And the best part is that his sheets are dry if he has an accident.
Why do I need these?
Help Protect the Environment
Less disposable diapers are ending up in the landfill. In the few years that Peejamas have been available, they have prevented more than 13 million diapers from going into the garbage in the US.
Save money
No more buying pull-ups, night-time diapers, or sizing up with expensive cloth diapers. The price of two pairs of Peejamas is equal to one or two months of disposable training pants. Which may seem like a lot, but Peejamas can withstand daily wear for at least a year. So, in one year, you can spend $60 for two pairs of Peejamas or $500 for daily disposable training pants.
Improve Optimism about Potty Training
Parents are leaping into a once dreaded phase of potty training. We don’t have to wash soiled bedding daily due to accidents. Urine is contained in the Peejamas, instead of on the bedsheets. Washing a pair of pants trumps washing bedding every single day.
Choose Safe Materials
They are made from materials that are safe for children: bamboo and cotton. They are not soaked in fire-retardant like many children’s clothing items. Therefore, less likely to irritate children’s skin.
Stop wasting time
Less time removing bedding, washing sheets, and remaking beds. Less time at bedtime, taking out the “put on your pull up” step. Less time in the stores buying disposable diapers or training pants.
Improve confidence
Peejamas build the confidence of kids in the potty-training phase, by making them think they have forgone diapers and training pants and moving onto underwear and big kid pants for nighttime.
Peejamas are the solution to many issues facing the world today. Take the next step in potty training, set your fears aside, tackle the sleep-time potty training, and check out Peejamas.

So this is really neat! Never heard of them but will definitely look into them for my daughter.
Thanks, Ashley!
These are pretty neat. I will refer them to a friend who is in the early stages of potty training. We are mostly done.
Thank you, Debranetta. Cheers to being mostly done!
Wish I knew about them when potty training my twins.
Right? I am amazed no one has come up with this idea before now
These pjs are so cute. I so love them and my kids would love them.
They are adorable!
Ok these are SO COOL … thank you for sharing! My daughter is a bit young right now but I’m looking forward to picking some of these up for when we’re potty training her.
You’re welcome, Liz. They have truly been a lifesaver!
I absolutely agree that we need to support small businesses. I love these pj’s and the design
Thanks, Feroza!
Very good to know about Peejamas. We are in the process of day time potty training. Once we nail this we’ll focus on night time potty training and Peejamas will certainly come in handy.
Christina, they would definitely come in handy. Good luck with potty training. It is such a liberating feeling to be free from diapers.
Live anything that would help me reduce my waste!
Me too, Stephanie!

Thanks, Joyce. They are definitely a special brand, meeting such a unique and necessary need for parents.
Love the designs and also that they are made of cotton and bamboo they look like excellent quality.
The quality is really fantastic, Tayla. We’ve had ours for many months now and they still seem like new.

They are so wonderful, Monidipa.
This is exactly the type of thing that my kids love to hang out in. They love comfy sets!
Same here, Heather. We call them “house pants” here, haha.

You’re welcome, Chad.

You’re welcome.
Lovely to spotlight businesses. Now is more important than ever. Looks like they sell some beautiful things. I will check them out 🙂
Thank you, Claire.
My nephew loves pj’s! I will have to patronize this brand and get him some new ones.
I am sure he will love them, Paris.
omg ! the stripe one is sooooo adorable !! and your photos are so fab as well
The stripe ones are my favorite.
These sounds amazing! My 2 year old has taken an interest in the potty this week so I think it’s time!!
Aw, yay! Good luck. Once you get through the tough part of potty training, it is so liberating to be free of diapers 🙂
I have seen these advertised a lot recently and wondered how well they work. My son is such a SOLID sleeper at night and pees sooooo much!! Lol.
We’ve had pretty good luck so far. I will say that I always take my son to the bathroom before I go to bed at night and have him pee and then go back to sleep. That seems to be helping too.
