You and your caregiver go online shopping for a potty together and make a bonding activity out of it. Maybe you want a plain one to decorate with stickers, or you're a little artist and want to paint it/decorate it; or maybe you have a specific interest or little show you like when regressed that you wanna get for it instead! If not, they also make little rings with handles that go on the adult toilet.

They also make lots of books about learning to use the potty. Maybe you find one you like about a show you enjoy, or find the wording of one comfy and decide on it that way. Or, some can be a little success centered and feel like they're putting pressure on you. That's okay! You and your fictional caregiver can make your own book together! Maybe one of you writes, and one draws the pictures, or maybe your fictional caregiver makes it to surprise you.

Your f/o would never be upset if you were to have an accident. That's okay, after all, you're only little and you're still learning. They'd help you (if you wanted) by putting you in pull-ups or padded underwear until you got a bit more comfortable with it. ["Oh baby, hey, look at me. You tried really hard, didn't you? That's okay... I know you can do it next time. I'm so proud of you."]

Or maybe you have trauma around failure, and you still want this experience... That's okay, your f/o understands that too. ["Oh love, you don't have to be perfect during this. I would never be upset at my little one. I can always clean you up and put new clothes and training pants on you..." They pause and tap your nose. "But, I only have one baby. And that's who's important here..."]

Maybe when you're successful, you want a big celebration! High fives, clapping, cheering... Or, if that puts too much pressure on you, your caregiver simply kneels down and gives you a gentle hug, stating clearly what you did that made them proud. "Good job, baby. You used the potty, didn't you?"

If you switched between headspaces and were too little (or too big) for this other times, your caregiver would understand that. I imagine this whole process would have less to do with actually teaching you to use the bathroom, and more to do with increasing their baby's confidence and autonomy when they're in the correct headspace for it. They never get rid of your padding or try to take it away if you still need it.

Comfort through games is also sweet. Your f/o (with your permission) would take your favorite stuffie or toy, and sit them on their own plastic potty to normalize the experience. ["Uh oh, baby... (Toy name) just told me they think they need to go. Do you wanna explain to them how to do it?"]

Another thing that's really sweet is they have potties that sit on the floor that actually have a reward system for using them: like a little flush sound or audible encouragement phrases. For some little ones, that makes it less scary... That, and your f/o would find it really adorable.

Lots and lots of new nicknames for you during this phase, most especially big boy/girl/kid (if you wanted to be called that.) Your f/o encourages you by saying things like that constantly, and also says things like, "look how confident my little one has become!"

If you have other fictional cgs (especially from the same fandom,) your f/o calls them (with your permission) and brags on you so hard. ["Hey, did you know y/n used the potty!"]

If you wanted, your f/o would have a sticker chart for you, or maybe a little rewards box that you get to pick from after successfully going potty. Or maybe, you wanna work towards a bigger goal, like a bigger toy, or a trip you want to take. It's never based too much on success, you always get rewarded for trying or recognizing a signal as well.

I don't know... It gives so many sweet opportunities for doting, and being gentle with a little one. Your fictional caregiver would take the best care of you, and love you no matter what. They're so, so proud of you.

I feel like I’m one of the only regressors that talks about “potty time”. I understand that being an uncomfortable subject to some, but I feel like this should be talked about more in a SFW way! Potty charts, those age regression comfort posts, fan fiction, ect.

I’ll be one of the first to talk about it, kinda test the waters.
