We purchased this doll for my son when we potty trained him (at 22 months). My son instantly fell in love with the doll, and it smells so good I don’t blame him!

Paul is uncircumcised, which is great if your child is, too. My disappointment was in getting Paul to drink and then hold his water. He “wet his pants” if you fed him his bottle and didn’t have him immediately over the toilet, which sort of defeats the purpose of teaching your child that he shouldn’t wet his pants!

If you’re on a budget, you can certainly skip this toy. Positive reinforcement and cheering and making a big fuss when mommy and daddy went to the potty did much more to potty train our son than this doll did.

My son really liked the doll and it was helpful with potty training. The doll would wet as soon as you gave it water. It is supposed to only wet when you push the belly. Still we liked the product overall.

I bought this doll for my two daughters. We are about to have our first son and I thought it would be nice to get them a boy doll to take care of. I have not given him to them yet but have taken him out of the box. I think Paul is adorable but he is much smaller and skinnier then the pictures make him look. I think the advertisements are showing a different doll all together, I wonder if they have changed how they make this doll. I like that he is anatomically correct. He is uncircumcised. I bought him for my daughters to use as a doll and don’t plan on giving him water and making him go potty, we’ll make believe he is going potty. He does have a strong smell, there is a powdery smell on him but the vinyl smell comes through that scent. The smell is very overpowering but we did just get him last week. I plan on leaving him near an open window at night for a few days. I really wish he had clothes. Corolle only offers one boyish outfit that fits him and I don’t think it is very cute. I am disappointed that they don’t offer more clothes since what he is wearing just looks like underclothes. The bottle and toilet are cute. I already gave them to my daughters to use with their other dolls. My almost three year old can get the bottles lid off easily, it could be a choking hazard for younger children. I took it away for now because I’m worried my 21 month old daughter will choke on it. I am not disappointed with this purchase but wish I had gotten a Calin or Tidoo instead.
