Abstract: A toilet training system is provided that exhibits an average improvement in Weighted Progress Scale score over baseline of greater than 1.0 over four weeks. Also provided is a method for improving the efficacy of toilet training, the method including producing a toilet training system including an absorbent article having a reactive component, the toilet training system enabling a statistically significant improvement in average Weighted Progress Scale score over baseline over three weeks as compared to use of a substantially identical absorbent article without the reactive component. Also provided is a toilet training system yielding a measurable reduction in time to progress toilet training as compared to use of a wetness liner training pant, wherein the measurable reduction in time is met by achieving the same average Weighted Progress Scale score over baseline in a shorter time period.
