I’m in the process of potty training my twin girls and when they are fully in big girl panties, should they share?

It really doesn’t matter, it may sound gross to everyone else but honestly, your going to wash them anyways. My nephews were really close in age and started potty training together and they always shared underwear. They won’t think anything of it. I mean my sister and I still share underwear, washed and clean of course. My mother who is the grandmother has a set of boys underwear to keep at her house and non of the children have gotten an infection or sick. People are just being too weirded out by the idea. It would be way to difficult to keep track of who’s panties are who’s, especially when they start fighting over them, my nephews did with Thomas train undies because they both liked the same character. You can get them their own or just buy a bunch to share, it is the same difference.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO. They’ll hate you later if you do that, and it’s gross.
No. Even though they are twins they still need their own personal items. Since this is in the toddlers section I assume they are toddlers, and at that age they could have a yeast infection, measles(not likely), chicken pox, and other spreadables that the other can get by sharing underwear. It is very likely that they might accidently wear the others panties as time goes on, but it shouldn’t be a habit.
You’d still have to get twice as many panties as for one, unless you plan to spend all your time doing laundry.
I don’t know why it would be a problem, presuming they were washed between wearings, but the idea seems kind of gross. And actually, at that age, I don’t know how you could be sure that they didn’t share unwashed panties!
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m gonna say that it’s going to be very difficult to keep there underwear separete so I think they’ll probably end up sharing anyway. As long as the pants r clean there really shouldn’t be a problem. Trust ke I’m 18 and my sister is 16 and I have to go reclaim my clothes all the time cause either somebody other than me puts it away or my sister just likes my clothes better. If she steals my undear stuff I usually either burn them or just let her have them cause after age 5 it’s really uncool to see somebody wearing your undies.
Also sometimes kids will do better potty training if they have their own underwear that are just theirs. It makes them special and something u don’t want to get dirty.
As long as they are clean who cares for now. Later maybe. If you are in the store and one wants strawberry short cake and the other princeses then get them each what they want. If there is ever a fight over them, then each girl gets the ones she picked but it you have regular old white ones and they aren’t make a big deal out of it why should you.
PArenting is hard enough without causing drama for ourselves.
Get them underwear in different colors. That’s what my mom did for my twin and I. It’s really not cool that children share such personal items. Even if they share the exact same DNA, their anti-bodies aren’t the same, and they can have diseases transmitted from one another this way! It’s okay for them to share clothes and shoes, and socks. But get them each their own underwear!
As a mother of twins, girls, i understand that most people have a gross factor when it comes to a personal clothing item like panties. But like i said as a mother of twin girls it is really hard to keep all things 100% separated. they used to change clothes with each other all the time, yes even panties. god knows why. lol. So what i did is just buy lots of them, and wash them constantly with hot water. soap, and a little bleach to sanitize.
they survived, and of all the things to deal with when they were little this was by far a very minor thing to be worried about. As they got older I did start to explain not to share undies, and not switch with each other.
If they have separate areas where clothes are kept, I say yes. Get them each their own panties. If clothes are kept in the same area, it’s going to be very hard to keep the panties separate and they will probably share on complete accident.
Me, as being myself, I wouldn’t do it just because of the way I was raised. As long as they are washed I see nothing wrong with it. Unless your girls have a problem with sharing. I think it would be easier to teach the boundaries of sharing though, if they had their own panties. Plus each girl could pick a package they wanted (as in characters or patterns).
