I hope you all are enjoying summer and some days at the pool or the beach. If you have little ones still in diapers, the pool or beach can be daunting especially when it comes to potty time. What is the best way to handle the mess? I wanted to recommend an easy way to help eliminate waste, Reusable swim diapers. I hope that many of you are already using them but for those of you who aren’t, I will tell you about my favorite.
There are several options, I have even purchased a reusable swim diapers at Target last year. My absolute favorite though are the Imse Vimse swim diapers. They are lightweight and will not weigh your child down in the water. They have the cutest designs and even have adorable matching shirts for girls. We have the turquoise sea animal design and love it! They dry very quickly and don’t soak up all the pool water along with the baby mess. That being said, they are not the most absorbent diaper but swim diapers aren’t supposed to be absorbent they are just to contain messes. So do not forget your plastic diaper cover while at the pool. When in the yard or at the beach we don’t use the plastic cover and have had no issues.
By using reusable swim diapers you will be doing your part for the environment and saving money by not buying those expensive disposable diapers. When using those I have only ended up with a mess instead of preventing one. Many pools also don’t allow disposable because of the problems in containing the mess. Check out Wildflower Diapers for the Imse Vimse brand. Great prices and fab designs!
Thanks for reading!

Can you help clarify how this works? You get one of these diapers, then put a plastic diaper cover over it (what is that exactly?), and then the swimsuit goes on top of it?
The ones we used did not have any covers. They were just waterproof reusable swim diapers from Target. They work just like cloth diapers – you throw them in the washing machine after they wear them.
Yes, to the first comment. You put on the swim diaper, then the plastic cover and then your swim trunks/suit. Just as you would do if you were using a disposable swim diaper. Our neighborhood pool requires you have a plastic cover even if the swim diaper is "waterproof." If we are at home or the beach, I don't put the plastic cover on and I don't have any issues. So it just depends on the policies at your pool. We wash ours at home. The plastic covers (which I am not fond of, but again the pool requires them) can be found at Babies R US in the cloth diaper area and sometimes your pool even sells them. I hope that is clearer. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
The Morrison Y makes you use the plastic swim diapers this year in both pools. Last year it was just in the big pool for swim classes & they gave out a plastic diaper for free. Not sure if they still do this, but you may want to check out the pool desk if you're a member. I think I may try these reusable diapers – the disposable ones a just a big mess…
Just a (somewhat messy) question on cleaning these diapers — do you hand wash or just throw them in solo to wash in the washing machine?
Yes, you can just throw them in the washing machine. If there has been a mess, then I wash them separately but if not then you can throw them in with other laundry (usually throw them in with the bathing suits/swim trunks). You can throw them in the dryer on a low setting but I usually line dry them. Hope that helps!
I bought reusable swim diapers online and love them. For those who still want to use disposable swim diapers, however, it is a good idea to remember to put the snug plastic pants on top of that too to prevent leakage. I still see kids in the pools all the time with just the disposable paper ones on, and most parents know that those are useless at containing a mess. So…always use the plastic pants on top…they hugely decrease the chance of your child having an embarrassing leak and closing the pool.
Bezel is very much a hybrid between the Superocean Heritage and some of Bentley GT more modern styles. A splash of Montbrillant Datora color is placed on the flange. Here it is yellow, and I have a feeling that it will vary with the dial color. Breitling Avenger here gives up the dial hour marker look that Chrono Superocean is becoming popular on a few of its other watches.There are numerous copies THE FUGITIVE free software’s available to users these days.
