Oh my gosh, I had no idea other kids did this! My son is 12 and STILL strips his clothes off for #2, mostly at home. But he will even hold it so he can come home to strip, and he's had lots of constipation problems. He's old enough to finally able to explain "why"... He says because sometimes the water splashes onto him and he doesn't want his clothes to get the toilet water on them. I think its also the feel of splashing on him as well.

No ClothesNEW by: Anonymous
Have to laugh, I thought my son was the only one! Every times he goes to the toilet he strips off, spends at least 5 minutes on there most times it's about 10. I recently found out he does this at school also. Most days as soon as he gets home he takes all his clothes off too. He won't wear PJ's in bed either. He's 5 I'm hoping he will grow out of it

i understandNEW by: Anonymous
my son does the same thing but it has now progressed into I need to get into the bathtub after a poop. I have no idea why he also hates tags, certain pants, and always is missing socks no matter where we are he takes off his shoes and socks.

I used to do this..NEW by: Anonymous
As a child I did this, I remember my poor mom waiting for me and getting frustrated that I did this when we had to leave to go somewhere. I know I was frequently constipated as a child and if I took my clothes off to potty it helped. I think I would get cold and it was easier to poop. It sounds silly to me now. I have not done that since I was probably 6. Anyway, I outgrew it! Hope this comment helps a bit.

had the same issueNEW by: Anonymous
my son is 4 1/2. when he was first potty training (extremely hard btw) he used to strip off his pants and underwear every single time. he has told me recently that his pants are too heavy to hold up while he is sitting. a sensory issue i am told. as he is learning to cope with sensory issues this has gotten better. he does not strip down very often now. hope this helps.

daughter is the sameNEW by: Anonymous
my daughter does the same thing - I have insisted that when we are other places she must keep her clothes on, but at home she strips down - not quite sure why, I might ask her next time :)

taking his clothes off when going to bathroomNEW by: Sandee
our son does that also, no mater where he is he always takes his clothes off to use the bathroom. I have never heard of another child doing this. it also takes him awhile to go to the bathroom, sometimes 15 or more minutes.He also will rush home to take his underwear off the less clothes the better and he wants to where the same shorts and shirts all week. SAndee
