Do swim diapers really work?
Yes, they do the job – but they do the job differently. Regular diapers will swell and fall off if they’re submerged, and swim diapers let the liquid pass through. Their sole purpose is to keep solids contained as opposed to providing absorption, so — you guessed it — pee usually passes right through (although, some reusable diapers are able to hold it all in). Therefore, it’s best to put swim diapers on just before hitting the water. We should also point out that before heading to a public pool, be sure to check if there are specific rules regarding non-potty-trained splashers. You may be required to put two layers on your kiddo, such as a disposable
That said, there is an exception: Swim diapers don’t come in newborn sizes because their stools aren’t solid enough to be contained in a swim diaper.
Do swim diapers go over regular diapers?
Nope, they can be worn all their own! But again, they’re literally just for swimming, so unless you want to clean up a wet car seat or beach blanket, use regular diapers whenever you’re on dry land.
What kind of diapers do you use for swimming?
Glad you asked! You can use disposable diapers which are tossed after each use, or reusable diapers, with which you can flush any solids and wash (similar to a regular cloth diaper).
