They really need a different name for it - 'diaper' is very misleading in this context. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1701432 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 11:01:05 +0000 Beehive 1701432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whoa, I didn't know this and have always changed DS into his swim diaper at home before heading to the pool! Guess I've just been lucky so far... won't be testing my luck anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1701162 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 23:45:40 +0000 Sapphiresun 1701162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah... no. I learned this the hard way too with one the iplays. DH wanted to take DD swimming and I thought I was being so helpful putting her in her swim stuff under her clothes, so he could just take off her sweatsuit and go straight to the pool. </p> <p>He arrived with a car seat full of pee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1701151 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 23:34:34 +0000 lamariniere 1701151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always put on the swim diaper right before getting in the pool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1701128 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 22:52:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 1701128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: the weird thing is I don't remember getting peed on or cleaning up any messes. They were older kids, like 2-3, so maybe they weren't peeing so often? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1701127 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 22:51:14 +0000 HLK208 1701127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know either! And I've totally been peed on </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1701117 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 22:43:39 +0000 sunny 1701117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL I didn't know either. In fact I was talking to LO's daycare teacher who said that I should bring swim diapers for when they do sprinkler time and I think she didn't realize those diapers don't hold pee and are meant to not weigh babies down when they are immersed in water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1701096 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 22:17:57 +0000 Zbug 1701096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I got pee all over me when I carried her to the pool. Of course I didn't actually bother to change my clothes when we got back home. At least I'm not the only clueless one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1701062 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 21:28:09 +0000 swedishfish 1701062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I learned it from HB too!</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: I don't know why but this is hysterical to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1701047 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 21:15:27 +0000 Pepper 1701047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Zbug: I had no idea either!! I took C to the pool last month, and by the time we got to the pool he had peed through his swim diaper and trunks, all over the carseat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1700988 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 20:38:29 +0000 wonderstruck 1700988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not an idiot! I just know it because I researched swim diapers back when L started swim lessons. And after that I was super careful to not ingest any of the pool water...ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1700919 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 20:04:06 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1700919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - even the thickest swim diapers don't hold in liquids...just solids. I'm sure a bunch of us have learned the hard way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1700872 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 19:33:37 +0000 Ocean girl 1700872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Zbug: the first time we put LO in her swim diaper and bathing suit, I picked her up and she peed all over me... It took me a while to figure out what was happening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1700866 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 19:24:29 +0000 Smurfette 1700866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just change right when you get there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1700849 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 19:06:16 +0000 Foodnerd81 1700849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Zbug: You're not an idiot! I only know this from being on HB. I used to be a camp counselor and we were ask the parents to bring the little ones in the swim diaper already. I promise not one of us knew that they weren't holding the pee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1700821 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 18:32:32 +0000 autumnlove 1700821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I was peed on today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1700785 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 17:49:41 +0000 fairy 1700785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, they should come with a warning! Nowhere on my iplay swim diaper does it say that it wont hold in pee, in fact it states "contains leaks - in and out of the water" but a simple test of pouring water inside the diaper proves otherwise :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1700779 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 17:45:24 +0000 Zbug 1700779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh jeez. Okay, totally makes sense but they really should come with a warning for idiots like me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1700774 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 17:36:41 +0000 wonderstruck 1700774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No swim diaper out there is designed to hold pee, whether it's disposable or reusable. If you think about it, there would have to be an airtight seal (ouch!) on the diaper for that to be possible since the diaper can't tell the difference between pee and regular water and would just soak everything up. Totally a pain, but you just have to wait until you're at the pool or beach to get them changed so they don't pee in the carseat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1700763 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 17:11:38 +0000 sorrycharlie 1700763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swim diapers only hold poop :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1700761 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 17:11:30 +0000 sslm 1700761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's true, they don't hold in pee, just poop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-swim-diapers-not-hold-in-pee#post-1700759 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 17:09:30 +0000 Zbug 1700759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD has one of those swimming suits with the swim diaper sewn in. The tag says no other swim diaper needed, but she was definitely damp by the time we got to the pool this morning. Is this normal with reusable swim diapers? </p>
