Struggling with potty training, tips please

We started potty training with my boy 3 days ago. Day 1 I left him in just a t shirt and stayed home. It went well. Only 2 accidents and he would say when wee is comming and run for potty. Day 2 was hit and miss. We popped out which went well and he used the potty on and off. Day 3 we tried to keep pants on but he then doesn't use the potty. When he has pants on he wets himself and isn't bothered. Will stay playing wet. I try to put him on the potty every 30-60 minutes but he just doesn't go then wets through the pants. He has nursery tomorrow and I'm not sure weather I should send him in pants or go back to nappies. Anyone got any tips?

My boy was exactly the same, I had to keep him bare bum for a good 5 days before we could try pants. Every time I put pants on him he would wee in them, I think he thought it was nappy and couldn’t decipher between the 2. He’s now been potty trained for a few months and doesn’t have many accidents, but he did go back and forth for the first week or so!

@Rachael thank you. That gives me hope.

Have you tried bottoms with no pants? I had the same with my girl when we potty trained, pants felt too much like a nappy so we just went without. Nursery were happy to accommodate this too, think after a week she was fine with pants. I know a girl is different but maybe joggers would be comfortable for him?
