JK swim nappy

You want to look for snug elastic (for containment) and I prefer a nappy that has velcro side openings, rather than pull up, as they're easier to get on and off (esp. if dealing with no.2s!).

I haven't tried the JK ones - my fave is the Bummis Swimmis nappy - it's really comfortable on and has heaps of adjustment, plus the prints are cute. Leo's still in large which I think is 9-13kg - even though he's already 13kg there's heaps of room.

I don't have a Bummis nappy wrap, but from looking at them I'd say that it has slightly different velcro tabs - the section at the front is really wide so you can get lots of adjustment - and the fabric and elastic is probably different. If you get a good fit from a standard wrap and don't mind it getting wrecked from the chlorine then it would be fine to use! I just know that from doing swimming lessons with my kids that fabric is literally eaten when exposed regularly to public pool strength chlorine so I'd rather use a $20 swim nappy than a $30 pocket nappy

Honey Child swim nappies are about to be launched - watch this space

P.S
We just use an unstuffed Honey Child nappy for swimming and have never had a leakage problem with #2s. The chlorine doesn't seem to have affected the nappy either.

Ella has JK swim naps - I've found hers great. Just be careful with the sizing - Ella's 20-month old heiney still fits into a size 9-mth nap!

They're teasing us as well as you guys - that's literally all I've been told other than they will be available in Cherry, Royal Blue, forget-me-knot, tangerine and YAY Watermelon (my fav )
