Swim nappies?

Evening all.

My five year old has just started swimming sessions, and we've discovered tonour peril this evening that standard swim nappies are next to useless for a doubly incontiment five year old.

We've been advised to buy a reusable set, but I'm having issues tracking down anything that will fit him. Most nappies seem to go to age 2/3 then stop.

Does anybody else have a brand name I could look up please? It needs to be a solids catching nappy, and needs to go up to (and beyond) the 5/6 age range.

Thank you in advance for any thoughts you might have.

To our peril, and doubly incontinent.

I can't type today!

Maybe something like this from Eric would work? Expensive, I know, but I've found their products really do the job sand they are very helpful with advice.

We use one like zacky linked. Splashabout do them from small child to large adult. You can fit ordinary swimwear over the top.
