potty-trained

No more diapers

Potty-trained describes a young child who has learned to use a toilet instead of diapers: Is she potty-trained yet?

The term applies almost exclusively to toddlers during this developmental milestone.

Adults use it humorously or disparagingly about someone's basic competence: He's barely potty-trained and they made him manager.
