Parents go through a lot in the first few years of looking after their kids. They have to wash their clothes, take care of their health, and teach them basic worldly affairs. The most basic and important of them is the potty-training phase, which can get irritative and messy, if not done properly.
Judy Abrahams and Chris Guerrera, the owners of Super Potty Trainer, have the right solution for every parent. Their product allows kids to use the toilet on their own without any problem of getting messy. It is used as ba ack support system and it also has nonskid pads that make it adjustable.
The owners came on Shark Tank to request $300K for 10% of their company. Judy also demonstrated how it works on an adult toilet to highlight its functionality. Let’s explore their journey on the show.

The Owner’s Backstory
Judy related that in 2012 she was trying to potty train her daughter. It was a very difficult experience for her so she quit her job to help her kid get rid of the issue. Then she came up with the idea of sitting herself first on the toilet and then accompanying her daughter to do her business. This acted as a miracle as her daughter began to overcome the fear of using the toilet.
As Judy is from a Legal Assistance background, she invented the Super Potty Trainer and got a utility patent for it too.
On the other hand, Chris’s works incorporate. He helped Judy to work on the manufacturing side of the product all over The. U.S.A., making the product only $2.30 to cost for him.
Initial Pitch
The owners came on the show to seek $300K for a 10% equity stake. They demonstrated their trainer in comparison to the foam donuts and soiled seats. Their product acts like a seat to hold the baby in place with adjustable nonskid pads, helping them to get rid of the toilet fears they are facing.
Herjavec asked the first question about the support mechanism of the product for kids. Judy replied that it has nonskid pads that make the product more rigid and stable, thus it won’t be pushed back by the kids while sitting on the toilet.
Kevin then asked about their sales. Chris answered that they launched the product in March and started for large sales volume with Walmart. In six months, duration, their sales reached $65K. He also pointed out that Walmart has agreed to introduce them to 4800 stores. Moreover, Menard also made a commitment to introduce their product in 350 stores. But their purchase order has no actual existence yet.
Walmart has agreed to fulfill its commitment in 2021 if the sales rate remains the same after the pandemic.
Cuban inquired about the number of stores their product is selling in. He replied that it’s available in just under 400 stores currently.
Daymond then wanted to know about their sales through Walmart. Chris pointed out that it’s about 600 units a month, with respect to 356 stores.
He also asked about the number of inventories they have currently. The owner replied that it was around 3500.
Shark’s Response and Final Decision
Cuban was the first shark out of the deal as he didn’t like the high valuation of their business for such low sales.
Herjavec then followed Cuban and decided to back out too, as he was confused with the empty commitments from different stores without any practical turn.
Kevin also disliked their high valuation and dopped the deal with Super Potty Trainers too.
Daymond initially pointed out issues in their high valuation and inventory but then decided to make an offer if Lori agreed to make a partnership with him.
Lori then offered them $300K for 50% in a partnership with Daymond. They readily accepted the deal.
The Super Potty Trainers excel not only on Shark Tank with Lori and Daymond on their side but also in the market. However, the deal with the two sharks never took a practical turn. They made success in the market on their own. Their website the Super Potty Trainer, has many positive feedbacks from the consumers.
Thus, the product from Super Potty Trainer was a big hit, as it helped parents get rid of the fear their kids face while doing their business. The company made an impression on the show, convincing Lori and Daymond of their side. They are also functioning through their own website, proving to be a good product to make kids’ lives easier.
Hey there, it’s Andaleb Youns. I am a freelance content writer and am currently pursuing a BS in English Language and Literature. I have expertise in writing Blog Posts, social media content, and copywriting. I know how it feels to be a student and still be dependent on parents to fulfill even basic daily needs. This realization became apparent while watching Shark Tank. Although I started watching this show out of boredom, it proved to be an inspirational show. The show made me realize the importance of hard work, being independent, and of having a business of my own. I still look forward to it for entertaining and inspirational content.
