The holidays are pure magic for kids—packed with family fun, festive treats, and memorable adventures.

But when your child’s managing incontinence, all that holiday hustle can feel like a bit much at times.

The good news? A sprinkle of planning and a dash of positivity can keep the fun rolling and help your little one feel like a total champ. Ready to dive in?

Pack Smart for Trips

Whether it’s a day trip to grandma’s or a big family getaway, having the right essentials on hand can make all the difference by keeping things smooth, stress-free, and fun for everyone. Here’s your holiday survival kit:

Extra incontinence pants

Pack more than you think! Our Nundies Youth pants are soft, discreet, and super absorbent, perfect for any unexpected delays.

Wet wipes and disposal bags

Need a product for quick clean ups when you’re on the go? Our Dailee microwaveable wipes are your new best friend. They can be gently heated if you’re near a microwave or used as is.

A change of clothes

Pop in a full outfit (or two). It’s always better to have backups than be caught out!

A portable waterproof mat

Perfect for car seats or unfamiliar beds, it’s your secret weapon for extra protection. Our Invizi Waterproof Protector is cloud-soft, super absorbent, and designed to trap leaks in its ultra-dry core. With a waterproof back sheet and four side barriers, it keeps leaks in check and furniture and floors protected.

Keep these essentials handy, and you’ll handle any surprises with zero stress and plenty of smiles. High five for being super prepared!

Stick to a Routine

Holidays can turn routines upside down, but keeping a schedule helps your kiddo feel safe and sorted.

Encourage regular bathroom breaks, even when they’re deep in holiday fun. If you’re somewhere new, show them where the bathroom is, and remind them it’s always okay to ask for help.

Bonus Tip: Use a timer or a friendly nudge to stay on top of bathroom breaks, especially during long car rides or jam-packed holiday activities. Easy peasy!

Master Sleepovers and Public Outings Like a Pro

Whether it’s a cosy sleepover at a friend's or a festive outing to a Christmas market, a little prep can make all the difference. Here’s how to keep things smooth and stress-free:

• Bring the right gear: High-absorbency pants like Nundies are a confidence booster, whether your kiddo is sleeping over or exploring holiday fun. Pack essentials like wipes, extra pants, and disposal bags—in a discreet pouch they can easily access.

• Think beyond bathrooms: For sleepovers, show them the bathroom setup in advance and ensure they know how to dispose of products discreetly. For outings, identify not just bathrooms but quiet spaces where you can step away if needed.

• Keep comforts close: For sleepovers, pack a familiar item, like a stuffed toy or blanket, to help them feel at ease. For outings, keep a small comfort item handy to manage nerves in crowded spaces.

• Prep for sleepover specifics: If your child is staying somewhere overnight, practice routines at home beforehand—like using Nundies before bed or handling product disposal—so they feel confident.

• Have a quiet word: A quick, friendly chat with the sleepover host can set expectations, and little check-ins during outings can help your child feel at ease.

Most importantly, remind your little one that accidents are just a part of life. Your calm, reassuring response will help them feel confident and ready to enjoy every magical moment of the holidays.

Encourage a Positive Mindset

The holidays are all about joy, giggles, and spending time together. Help your kiddo focus on the fun stuff—like decorating cookies, unwrapping presents, or belting out carols—not their incontinence.

Cheer them on with kind words and celebrate every little win they have in managing it.

If they’re feeling a bit shy, remind them that incontinence is just one tiny part of who they are. There’s so much more to love and celebrate about them—and that’s what really matters!

Get Them Involved

Kids love being part of the action, so let them join in on the holiday prep! Whether it’s helping pack their essentials or deciding on bathroom break times, giving them a say makes them feel like a superstar.

It’s not just about the holidays—it’s a great way to build confidence and teach them self-management skills they’ll use long after the festivities are over. Win-win!

Use the Right Products

The right products can make all the difference for a carefree holiday season. Look for kids’ incontinence pants that are comfy, super absorbent, and discreet—so your child can dive into all the holiday fun without a second thought.

Our Nundies are designed with kids in mind! They’re soft, high-absorbency pants that feel just like regular undies, giving your little one the freedom to enjoy every holiday moment confidently.

Stay Flexible

The holidays can be a bit unpredictable, and that’s totally okay! If an accident happens, keep your cool and stay positive—your reaction can shape how your child feels about it. A little laugh and a lot of understanding can turn a potentially stressful moment into just another part of the day. 

With a little planning and the right mindset, you can make the season truly special and stress-free. Focus on their comfort and confidence, pack those extra pants, plan those bathroom breaks, and get ready for unforgettable memories.

Happy holidays!
