Need help ASAP please!!! WWYD

At a wedding in the middle of nowhere and have to entertain fed up 1 year old for several hours - the only thing here is a pool. I’m a huge idiot who forgot swimming nappies, and only bought trunks!!!! What do I do? Normal nappy? No nappy?! Or just not swim which would be sad as DS loves it and no idea how else to fill some time 😫

I'm not sure I'd take him in without a swim nappy tbh.

Just not swim I’m afraid.

Have you asked at reception? Maybe they have some swim nappies?

Nowhere in the pool part of the complex that sells swim nappies?

Ask at reception as they might sell them. Also check in the changing room as sometimes they have a vending machine with them like for tampons.

I would just go without

Look out for another family and offer to buy a couple from them

A normal nappy will be useless. Can you mine his trunks with anything?

Ask at the pool if they have any. Or don’t swim.

A normal nappy will be fine. It will just swell a lot with water

Do NOT go in without! If he poos they'll have to close and clean the pool, and no-one will be able to swim, not just you.

I would just go without

Can you clarify?
You would go without a swim or you would go without a swim nappy?
Hopefully you mean the former

He literally just did a poo so he won’t do one it’s more for weeing (but don’t all children wee in the pool)

This is a very very basic Countryside hotel with nothing like that (shop or vending machine) but will double check at reception and also ask another family good idea

And a normal nappy won’t be fine. It will swell with water and be very uncomfortable for your baby. Also it will not contain faeces if he does do a poo.

In the situation of not being able to obtain a nappy, you can’t just go without.

It would be very selfish.

How middle of nowhere are you? Ask at reception if they have any or know of anywhere nearby.

nearest shop?

The nearest town is 15 miles away and we don’t have a car as are abroad. Honestly a shop is not an option.

If i can’t buy from someone just won’t take him swimming! I wasn’t sure if a normal nappy would suffice

What did people do before swim nappies were invented?

You can't take him in a normal nappy, it can swell and if the bead inside come into contact with his skin he can get a chemical burn.

As he is not toilet trained, you should not take him in wearing no nappy either.

oh sorry.
are you there for a while.could a concierge get him some.

As an aside, swim nappies don’t contain wee, they just contain poo. But no, Don’t take him in the pool without one.

Swim nappies don't keep wee in... how could they?

Therefore ALL babies are weeing in the pool.

Couldn’t find one so not taking him - the pool is actually very cold anyway as we are chilling by it and DH went in and had to get out! So I wouldn’t have taken him in anyway 😬🤦🏻‍♀️
