A disposable absorbent pant having fluid handling characteristics useful for encouraging toilet training. The pant includes a thin, flexible absorbent pad that can accommodate one or two insults with a low probability of leakage. The pant can be less than about 5 millimeters thick, with the absorbent pad being less than about 3 millimeters thick. The pant has a limited absorbent capacity of between about 30 grams and about 400 grams, which contributes to a slow fluid intake, pooled fluid, and delayed fluid lock-up in the absorbent pad. The pant also has considerable fluid distribution, resulting in a large area of wetness. Each of these fluid handling characteristics provides awareness to a wearer of the filled status of the pant.
