A reusable swim diaper with UPF 50+ protection that contains the stuff you don't want in the pool. Way cheaper than disposable swim diapers over a summer.

What We Like
- Saves a ton of money versus disposable swim diapers over a summer
- Three-layer design contains solids reliably at the pool
- UPF 50+ fabric adds sun protection on baby's bottom and thighs
- Snap sides make changing easy, especially with a wiggly wet baby
- Machine washable and dries quickly for next-day pool trips
What Could Be Better
- Won't absorb urine (no swim diaper does, but still worth mentioning)
- Can be snug around chunky thighs, so size up if your baby is on the bigger side
- You need at least 2-3 in rotation since they need to dry between uses
Safety Notes
Not a flotation device. Constant adult supervision required in and near water. Check fit regularly as baby grows to ensure a snug seal. Replace when elastic shows signs of wear.
Buying Guide Notes
Buy 2-3 so you always have a dry one ready. Size up if your baby has chunky thighs. These run a little snug. Huggies Little Swimmers are the most popular disposable alternative if you don't want to deal with washing. Alva Baby makes a cheaper reusable option but the elastic wears out faster.
Full Review
Here's a fun fact most new parents learn the hard way: regular diapers explode into a gel-filled nightmare the second they hit water. You need swim diapers. And disposable swim diapers cost about $2 each, which adds up fast when you're going to the pool three times a week all summer. The i play reusable swim diaper pays for itself in about 4 pool trips. It has three layers: a wicking liner that pulls moisture away from skin, an absorbent middle layer, and a waterproof outer layer that keeps everything contained. Let's be real about what "contained" means here though. Swim diapers (reusable or disposable) are designed to catch solids. They don't absorb urine. That's just how it works with pool diapers. Nobody tells you that part. The snap sides make for easy on and off, and the UPF 50+ fabric gives extra sun protection on baby's bottom and thighs. They machine wash easily and dry fast. We had three in rotation and they lasted our whole first summer. The prints are cute too, which is a nice bonus when your kid is basically just wearing a diaper at the pool.
