Otherwise a regular diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swim-diapers-on-the-beach#post-1547596 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 02:44:14 +0000 looch 1547596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the beach, I just use a regular bathing suit, the swim trunks have the mesh underwear, or a pair if cloth training pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swim-diapers-on-the-beach#post-1547593 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 02:35:00 +0000 lamariniere 1547593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the whole point of a swim diaper is to contain poop, pee isn't such a big deal. We have used both reusable and disposable for pools and the beach. But at the beach I prefer to just use a swimsuit or let the kid run around naked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swim-diapers-on-the-beach#post-1547514 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 23:22:42 +0000 birdofafeather 1547514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pool we use reusable swim diapers and a swim suit over it. For the beach, we do a swimsuit only. Once she's done doing her beach thing, we put a diaper on her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swim-diapers-on-the-beach#post-1547247 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 19:13:49 +0000 hilsy85 1547247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used swim diapers (disposable) when we went to Mexico in Feb...we just kept him in them while we were on the beach/at the pool, since he was in and out of the water. He had a swim suit on over it, and he didn't poop in them. I'm sure he peed in them, but he was wet anyway from the water, so it wasn't obvious or a big deal :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swim-diapers-on-the-beach#post-1547234 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 19:06:18 +0000 tinyperson 1547234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a reusable swim diaper that we put her in a couple of times last summer at my parent's house. They live on the beach. It wasn't an issue for us because she was only 6-8 months, and we didn't go in the water much. Just spent some time on a towel on the beach...</p> <p>I think we'll probably do a reusable this summer, but change her to a disposable after being in the water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swim-diapers-on-the-beach#post-1547206 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 18:45:32 +0000 heartonastring 1547206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use cloth swim diapers.</p> <p>When we were in Florida in February and went to the pool we would change her back into a regular diaper when she got out of the pool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swim-diapers-on-the-beach#post-1547201 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 18:42:26 +0000 junebugmama 1547201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a reusable swim diaper. We actually purchased right from our Y. It does the same thing where it really only holds poop not pee. </p> <p>He only pooped in it once, and he was really little at the time, so I just actually washed it in the sink. He was ebf though so the poop is different than formula. I don't know if that would have made a difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swim-diapers-on-the-beach#post-1547196 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 18:36:48 +0000 Foodnerd81 1547196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've seen info about diapers for swimming in the pools- disposable swim diapers only hold poop, change immediately before and after swimming. Reusable ones dry quickly. </p> <p>What about if you go to the beach for a few hours? Obviously this is a long way off since I live in New England and it's April! But I'm just confused how you do it. C will turn a year in july, and dh's grandmother lives near a family beach on a bay so I know we will take her. </p> <p>Please explain!<br /> Also do people ever do a reusable swim diaper (cloth?) over a disposable? I feel like that's what my nephew had to do at the Y. </p>
