Abstract
There is provided a disposable training panty having a permeable outer covering. An inner absorbent portion is secured to the outer covering. In the event a young child has a bowel or bladder accident the majority of the wetness generated is absorbed by the inner absorbent portion. However, the inner absorbent portion does not fully absorb the child's wetness and some wetness leaks onto the permeable outer covering. Therefore the panty releases to the permeable outer covering, to a controlled extent, unabsorbed wetness. Because the outer covering is permeable the wetness quickly cools and the outer covering clings to the child's skin causing the child to feel the discomfort of both the wetness and the coldness promptly.
