There isn't anything soft in there with just a cover and I would think it would be uncomfortable but in a pinch I would use one and just rinse out really well after swimming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-important-difference-between-swim-diapers-and-cloth-diaper-covers#post-2521052 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 07:54:10 +0000 lamariniere 2521052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyofthewest: We really only ever did it in "emergency" situations and for short periods, like 20 minutes or less, so I wasn't worried about comfort or skin irritation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-important-difference-between-swim-diapers-and-cloth-diaper-covers#post-2521051 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 07:50:54 +0000 lilyofthewest 2521051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: they all have a PUL outer layer, so, yeah, they'd keep in poo. Unlined PUL might be uncomfortable on bare skin though? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-important-difference-between-swim-diapers-and-cloth-diaper-covers#post-2521044 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 07:41:32 +0000 lamariniere 2521044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you think a non-nylon lining would keep poo in the diaper when in the water? We used gDiapers, so they are a little different, and I used them a few times (without the absorbent insert) as swim diapers when we happened to run out/forget. They have a plastic liner though, so I was confident in their ability to keep the poo in. Luckily, we never had a poo incident while using them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-important-difference-between-swim-diapers-and-cloth-diaper-covers#post-2521042 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 07:32:23 +0000 lilyofthewest 2521042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it really worth it to have a nylon lining (vs polyester fleece like some of my pocket diapers or unlined PUL). Any other differences that I'm missing? </p>
