Training Pants Taupata

This beautiful diaper is part of the Ora collection of New Zealand brand Kekoa. Ora (te reo Māori) means “To be alive, well, safe, cured, recovered, healthy’ in Māori. This collection is inspired by the plants traditionally used in Rongoā Māori (Māori traditional medicine that includes herbal medicines).

Taupata is the Māori name for Coprosma Repens. It is a robust little plant that can withstand the strongest elements. Taupata, found on the coast, is traditionally used by Māori for kidney and bladder infections. It also helps to support intestinal flora. 

Kekoa training pants are beautiful luxury training pants, with a soft bamboo interior and a supple water-resistant exterior in a beautiful print. The bottoms are available in two sizes, where both sizes can be closed in different positions around the waist. These bottoms do not have buttons at the front to shorten the bottom. The advantage of this is that the press studs cannot irritate along the thighs. If your child is still very small, there will be some extra fabric at the front. The leg opening and the waist size can be adjusted by closing the press studs on the side to the correct size. Both sides have three rows of press studs.

Size S/M fits from about 8 to 15kg
Size M/L fits from about 12 to 23kg

It is best to wash these training pants cold with detergent first, then they can be washed at 60 degrees. Line dry, out of direct sunlight. Wash new training pants by hand a few times first, until the water no longer discolours.

The training pants from Kekoa have the OEKO-TEX quality mark.
