     Topic: What exactly is a swim nappy     Posted: 07 April 2008 at 8:52am |

   Ok, We are enrolled in swimming classes. YAY!!!! And they have specified that he must wear swimmers, not disposables and not cloth.  So what is different about a swimmer?  and which ones do people recommend?
 
 I saw a thread earlier that suggested for home use a pocket without an insert could work...would that apply for a public pool?
 
 Are swimmers made from a different fabric to PUL?
 
 Thanks

   mothers instinct have some...  that should give you an more of an idea if you have a look at hers.
 i dont think an unstuffed pocekt would work for a public pool, it would have to be really tight to avoid any leaks of a serious nature...

   Swimmers look like undies basically but different fabric and nice snug elastic to make sure nothing gets out

   I am coveting Monkey Doodlez swimmers for the gremlins, they currently have med Bummis ones but they are getting too short in the rise and I worry about whether they will "contain" any accidents.

   JK have swim naps, and the Warehouse.  PP too.  They can be a bit hard to find out of season though.  Can buy them online too from nappy sites and baby sites.

   I've always used a cloth swim nappy for Leo - I've tried Kushies and Swimmis (by Bummis).  The fit of the Swimmis is waaaaay nicer than the Kushies, but after constantly weekly swim lessons the elastic practically disolved in the Swimmis
