How do Swimming Nappies work?
The best reusable swimming nappies are not created equal, and there is plenty of options to choose from. So what makes a good baby swimming nappy?
All swimming nappies are designed to catch solids only, any urine that a baby produces whilst they are swimming regardless of whether they are wearing a reusable or disposable swimming nappy means that the urine will come out into the water. Total fact, the crucial element when considering a swimming nappy for your baby is how well it holds in solids, because there would be nothing more embarrassing than a code-brown situation at the pool.
How does a reusable swimming nappy work?
Outer Colourful layer: This is typically made of a soft polyester fabric with a hidden waterproof membrane.
Buttons on the front: Called Rise Snaps – this is how you adjust the sizing as your baby grows. To change the sizing of the leg gaps, you simply connect the top row to the bottom row, which makes the sizing the smallest it can go, then as your baby grows you connect the top row to the second or third rows to increase the size. Genius we know.
Inside the Swimming Nappy – soft fleece fabric that goes against the skin.
Wide waist elastic and firm but soft leg elastics mean that if you have the fit correct, nothing will escape these swimmer nappies. Embarrassing situation avoided!
Velcro waist (similar to a disposable nappy) because it means quick release post swim, and less fuss trying to put it on those wiggle pots. Then simply fold over the velcro tabs before you wash.
How to choose a good brand of swim nappy?
Firstly, there is now a lot of brands to choose from it can be overwhelming so it comes down to three things..
1. Reviews, reviews, reviews.
2. Will it last? The whole point of choosing a reusable swimming nappy for your baby is that you don’t need to buy more. One-size swimming nappy is totally the way to go so it grows with your baby. Imagine that one swimming nappy that lasts from 3kg until they are toilet training.
3. It works. Tried, tested again and again.
