Going to the beach with your baby but don't know what to do about their diaper?
Reusable swim diapers are the solution.
What are Swim Diapers?
Swim diapers, also known are cloth diapers that are designed to be used only in the pool lake, ocean, or other body of water to keep your child's bottom protected and to contain poop.
How Do Swim Diapers Work?
Swim Diapers feature a trim and snug design.
This allows the swim diaper to hold in any solid material without absorbency to suck up pool water and weigh baby down.
How To Use Reusable Swim Diapers
Wrap, Snap, Wash!
Swim diapers really are that easy!
Some swim diapers swap out wrap and snap for a simple pull on style.
If you need or want to put the swim diaper on before you head out to the water, lay in an insert before you put on the swim diaper.
Once you’ve reached your destination simply shimmy the insert out and you’re ready to swim! I would recommend packing a spare.
Unlike your cloth diaper stash, it’s not necessary to have more than a handful of swim diapers.
2-4 per child will suffice for most families.
If you’re in the water more often, consider having two to four per day.
My Top 3 Swim Diapers
#1 Lighthouse Kids Company Swim Diaper
Before Lighthouse Kids Company created their Switch Cover system they offered their swim diaper.
These swim diapers are made from PUL and soft Athletic Wicking Jersey Mesh.
Does this mean that this swim diaper also functions as a cloth diaper cover?
YEP! That’s exactly what that means!
The Lighthouse Kids Company Swim Diapers feature rise snaps that allow these swim diapers to grow with your baby.
No need to worry about sizing up all the time!
This swim diaper is available in two different sizes.
The Simplicity Swim Diaper fits babies and toddlers from 6-32+ lbs and the Simplicity Supreme Swim Diaper fits babies and toddlers from 15-55+lbs!
#2 Best Bottom Swim Diaper
The Best Bottom Swim Diaper is a one-size swim diaper with double gussets to contain messes, a soft mesh interior and a waterproof outer shell!
This swim diaper is designed to contain solids but allow liquids to pass through, so your baby won't get weighed down.
Just like Lighthouse Kids Company Swim Diapers, the Best Bottom Swim Diaper can also pull double duty as a cloth diaper cover!
As you travel to the pool or beach, you can lay a Best Bottom Insert in the Best Bottom Swim Diaper. When it is time to go for a swim, just remove the insert!
#3 Your Favorite Pocket Diaper
If you are already using pocket cloth diapers you don’t even need to purchase a swim diaper!
I KNOW! Who knew cloth diapers would save you money at the pool too?
How does that work though?
Just skip using the insert! YEP! It’s that easy.
Keep in mind, that not all pocket diapers are suitable for the task at hand.
Pocket diapers that contain any absorbent materials such as bamboo velour, should not be used.
Stick with Athletic Wicking Jersey, Fleece, Microchamois, or Suedecloth lined pocket diapers.
