Reusable swim nappies

Are reusable swim nappies any good?

We use real nappies full time but I?ve been with Waterbabies and they insisted you use a disposable Little Swimmers or the like under a Happy Nappy.

We?ve moved and are going to the local pool now, and I would like to use a reusable nappy under my son?s Happy Nappy, but am concerned by their efficiency!

Do they keep everything in? What about urine getting into the pool? Is that an issue? I know older children wee in the pool, so is it really a big deal or is baby wee more toxic?

What about poo containment, even the dreaded teething nappies?

Also, what?s best for a long and skinny child?

Just want to draw on your experience!

at our local pool you only need one or the other its wrth asking!
i have reuseable for my dd had it from mothercare as it was on sale i have seen them in asda sainsburys for the same amount i paid in the sale!

she hasnt pooed in her reusable swimnappy we go before dinner she poos first thing!

The Happy Nappy has no mesh for containment or anything like that. I think it?d need something more!

The Splash About website says the Happy Nappy ?Can be worn with or without a conventional swim nappy?

Has anyone tried the Happy Nappy without another nappy on underneath?

We used a motherease one until recently but ds2 never had any accidents whilst in it. No swim nappy, be it disposable or reusable, will absorb wee as far as I am aware. Just think about all of that pool water .

take the insert out of a fuzzi and use that by itself

the fuzzi, not the insert

I guess what I?m asking is ? as the Happy Nappy has heaps of growing room, is it going to be OK to just use that with nothing else under it?

Hi - I have a happy nappy for my 18 mo dd and we used it on hols a couple of months ago. I used it with just a paper liner inside and with her swimming costume over the top. It was fine and she did poo in it with no leakage

She is quite small and still in 6-9 and 9-12 month clothes and the large happy nappy is fine.

HTH

You see, I hear people double up on swim nappies. Even you had the swimming costume over the top!

It seems that double is the way to go!

Hhhm ? so what reusable nappy to go under the Happy Nappy? I?m back to square one again!

I use a reusable nappy under a happy nappy for my DD and DS2 at their waterbabies lessons, just told then when I booked, no reusable then no money from me! I use Fuzzi Bunz trickle free trainers, a loose hppy nappy would prob be crap for containment

Sorry that should have been I use the trickle free trainers under the happy nappy

I?ve looked at the Trickle Free Trainer (thanks for the advice, and where did you get yours, out of curiosity) and they?re made of the same outer as a Fuzzi and have only one layer of microfiber, which means they?re exactly like evilreturns suggested ? a Fuzzi without the insert!

I might just go with the insert-free Fuzzi under the Happy Nappy, because I?m not sure the Happy Nappy alone would contain any poo accident!

I still have a pack of disposable swim nappies to use so it will be a while before I get the Fuzzi in water! But thanks for all the advice!!

I used to use an inser free Fuzzi nut the trickle free is a bit nicer, fastens a bit more snugly round the sides than a Fuzzi and has a thicker lining which is a bit more "terry" like. I stock them myself so I just pilered mine from my stock!

After scrubbing poo out of an aqua nappy I use disposable ones. I know it's not environmentally sound - but it's once a fortnight until he's potty trained. I know it sounds bad - but I will plant some trees somewhere when I have finished with the nappies.

Is scrubbing poo off a swim nappy that different to scrubbing poo off a normal cloth nappy? I?m not being sarcastic, it?s a genuine question. Does the fact that it?s a swim nappy make it different?

My DS has been in reuseable swim nappies since 2m (now 17m). I've tried a few, the best by far are from Mothercare. Cheap (about £5 - lots in the sale for £2 - £3) and strong. Good elasticated waistbands/ legs so keeps in accidents. Mind you, he has only ever had 2.

I pilfered a trickle free trainer too - they are really nice.

Just remembered that they are actually marketed as trainers, are they any good for that??
