Potty Training my OWN kid

I know most parents allow their kid to be bare-bummed when first starting out with the potty training, to make it easier but we would not allow a daycare kid to come play here butt-naked.
What can I do with my own son, who is starting to train, and is easier on him if he is half-naked to go potty.
I know this is my house and all, but he plays with the other kids, sits on the benches, couch, carpet etc. I am not concerned about him having accidents on things, but just the bare-bummed thing, and I think some parents may protest about the hygenic issues with this.

WWYD?

I never had my kids bare bummed out right in training, but had them bare under loose fitting pants. something they can pull down real easy. try that maybe?

Just went through it with my own as well...agreed; loose fitting pants (no underwear). There's also the quilted thick cotton underwear you can buy (they still feel wetness, but prevents too much of a mess).
