Hi,

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post, i really wasn’t sure where it fitted and where there would be experience of people using swim nappies past the usual age. I am happy for it to be moved if there is a topic that is more suitable!

My daughter has chronic constipation and has done for the last 2 years. We have been under hospital care for the last year.

We are due to go on holiday abroad in April and i am at a loss as to what to put on her in the pool. She currently wears size 8 nappies when at home and at school she wears pants but sometimes has to be changed up to 5 times a day due to skids and leaking poo etc, so i can’t allow her into a pool in just a swimming costume.

Last year we used the 5-6 swim nappies but they were quite snug on her so there is no way i will get away with her wearing the this year. The problem is i can’t find any swim nappies bigger apart from a few on amazon which at £30 plus. I am happy to pay that but would like some recommendations or ones that people have used before i go ahead and pay so much money.

So does anyone have any recommendations of swim nappies disposable to reusable for a 4-5 year old?

Thank you!

We use Swimmates from these (they ship to England) or Amazon, whichever is cheaper when we come to order. Although they are expensive.
