[Updated] Make a Splash, Save Cash with Reusable Swim Diapers

I’ve reworked and updated this classic BC post for 2012:

Parents. Do not put your baby in the pool in her regular disposable diapers. Not only is it icky, it will cause your baby’s diaper to swell in a way that looks seriously uncomfortable (me, learn that first hand? never!).

Are Splashers and Little Swimmers disposable swim pants the solution? They work okay in the water, but they’re expensive. My husband and I also learned the hard way that they don’t contain urine. They’re just designed to keep in solid matter. Some pools, like the one at our local YMCA, require rubberized swim pants and won’t even let you in with Splashers or Little Swimmers. You need a reusable swim diaper.

Many reusable swim diapers offer the leak protection that disposables don’t (or at least they claim to). Reusable swim diapers especially make sense if your child’s in the water a lot or if you live in a warm climate with a long swimming season. Costs start at just $10, the price of just one or two packs of disposables. They create much less waste, too.

Here’s a rundown of nine of the most popular reusable swim diapers. Some of them offer SPF protection, too. To find out where to buy them, just Google. Amazon and Diapers.com carry many of the brands listed here.

(Left to Right)

  • The i play Ultimate Swim Diaper absorbs wetness and contains a waterproof liner that prevents leakage. Cute (!!) but slightly pricey styles for babies and toddlers. Toddler styles feature swim trunks (shown), tankinis and more. (starts at about $13).
  • Kushies Reusable Swim Diaper. Features nylon exterior and terry interior (about $12).
  • Swimmis by Bummis feature an interior polyester mesh for easy cleanup. Cute patterns, too. These get great ratings at The Diaper Pin. ($12 to $15)
  • Imse Vimse:  A popular choice. Seem to have a trimmer fit than the others listed here. ($16 to $18)
  • Sun Smarties Adjustable Swim Diaper diaper, trunk, and zip suit styles feature built-in SPF 50+ protection. (only at One Step Ahead, about $13–currently on sale for $9.95).
  • Finis: Nicely priced diaper styles starting at $9.99.
  • MonkeyDoodles: Canadian company offers both pull up and snap style diapers. These get great ratings at The Diaper Pin. ($20)
  • Tuga:  Three-layer, UPF 50+ diapers feature elasticized leg and waist band (pull up style). ($12)
  • Charlie Banana: These swim diapers double as training pants. ($13)
