Buying disposable swim diapers can get expensive. Especially if you are planning on spending a lot of time in the water with your infant or toddler. Why not invest in some reusable swim diapers for the summer? There’s many brands out there to choose from. We bought some of the ImseVimse swim diapers, gave them a test at the beach and think they are winners. They aren’t thick like the disposables, so they fit easily under a bathing suit, which is nice. After all, the sole purpose of a swim diaper is to catch the poo. I have to say if your kid has runny diarrhea, they should not be in a pool with any swim diaper, but for solid-ish poops, these will do just fine.
As a side note, my friend Gwen said you can reuse swim diapers, as long as there is no poop. I have even read where people wash them in the washing machine and are able to use them again about four more times. I’ve not tried this, but since we are planning on spending a fair amount of time at the water, I’m considering giving it a try. Anybody else had experience with reusing swim diapers?
