Swim Nappies

1. What is the difference between a Reusable Swim Nappy and a ‘regular’ one?

Regular nappies are designed to absorb urine, and will therefore suck water from the pool / sea into the nappy, causing it to swell and become heavy.  

Our Reusable Swim Nappies have no added absorbency. They are designed to be lightweight, with a double leg gusset that contains poop under water, at the same time as they allow urine to flow through.

2. Do I really need a Swim Nappy for a quick water playing time?

Fecal contamination is a real threat to public swimming pools. Any child who wears nappies normally should be wearing a swim nappy at the pool or beach. Swim Nappies are important from a hygiene perspective as they prevent number 2’s incidents and  they give you time get out of the pool. The double elastic gusset featured on our Reusable Swim Nappies will give you extra confidence when swimming with your little one.

3. Why is it important to have side openings in a Swim Nappy?

Using a pull up swim nappy that cannot open at the sides will get really messy to pull it down the child’s legs when it is filled with poo. Therefore, it’s very important to open the nappy on the sides.

4. Why are our Reusable Swim Nappies better than disposable ones?

• First, they are better for the environment. Our Reusable Swim Nappies adapt to babies from 8 kg to 17 kg as they have a double snap adjustment on the side openings, and can be used over and over again from 6  months until your baby is about 3 years old. Moreover, they are composed of 100% certified post-consumer SEAQUAL® upcycled recycled plastic, and lining of 100% TENCEL ™ lyocel, which is one of the most sustainable fabrics in the world! Disposable ones are made from virgin polyester, have to be disposed after every few hours, and take hundreds of years to decompose.

• Next, they are more comfortable and effective. Disposable ones get heavy and saggy after a while under water, while our product is lightweight no matter what and retain its shape.

• Finally, they are cheaper. Instead of buying hundreads of expensive disposables that are thrown away after every use, your investment lasts years.

5. Do I need to add an insert with my Reusable Swim Nappy?

No. Reusable Swim nappies are designed to catch solids while letting liquid flow through to ensure the safety and comfort of the baby while in the water.

6. How many do I need?

We recommend having 2, if you wish to have an immediate back-up when they poop and still want to play in the water.

7. Can I use Reusable Swim Nappies in any type of water?

Yes, our product can be used in both salt water and chlorine water.

8. How to wash my Reusable Swim Nappy?

1. Discard poop into the toilet.
2. Wash at 40 ºC in a normal cycle of 1-2 hours, at 800 rpm. You can wash it together with other light colored clothes.
3. Air dry.
