Do you need a normal nappy under a swim nappy?

Just that!

The swim nappy just looks like a normal nappy though? It is definitely a Huggies swim version

Run it under a tap and see what happens. It doesn't expand to hold wee. It will only act as a poo catcher!

No, but if they do a poo, don’t leave it, get out the pool and change it unless you want a Kevin and Perry moment 😂.

Don’t ask me how I know…

How do you know?

No, not a normal nappy, they’re not waterproof and will disintegrate. Lots of pools have a double nappy policy, so that would usually be a swim nappy and a happy nappy; to avoid incidents like the one mentioned above!

No

But beware that swim nappies just catch poos, not wees, so don't wear one instead of a normal nappy on the way to the swimming pool.

No! Just keep the faith 😆

No. I imagine the poor baby would be massively weighted down if you did!

No it will just expand. You can get neoprene wraps for over the swim nappy, some pool require them.
