It's just a style preference. :) Everyone thought my LO was a boy (in her pink diaper) so we just gave in and bought a suit. Purely aesthetic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-all-about-cloth-swim-diapers#post-1364082 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:20:10 +0000 birdofafeather 1364082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: we had the cheaper plain white iplay diapers that we put a swimsuit over because it's cute. We also had a pink ruffle one that I didn't put a suit over. So it's just your preference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-all-about-cloth-swim-diapers#post-1363965 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:55:16 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1363965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Applecheeks! As for suits-- it depends on what your needs are. If you don't need any sun protection, the swim diaper alone is more than fine (unless your preferences/aesthetics dictate otherwise). :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-all-about-cloth-swim-diapers#post-1363936 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:49:21 +0000 Alivoo01 1363936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies! I'll look into the brands you've mentioned. You also say "put a swimsuit over it" so is he not supposed to just wear the swim diaper? I need to go out an buy "swim trunks" as well? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-all-about-cloth-swim-diapers#post-1363906 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:44:37 +0000 bushelandapeck 1363906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Charlie Banana. Same as pp's, no liners required and I wash them with the rest of the CD's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-all-about-cloth-swim-diapers#post-1363902 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:44:07 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1363902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for imse vimse. We tried a couple other brands but these fit the best on my chunky-thighed kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-all-about-cloth-swim-diapers#post-1363888 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:41:23 +0000 JoJoGirl 1363888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two Bummis and love them. It's quite simple, it's just a pair of undies that just catches the poo. I think pee is intended to leak out of all swim diapers? Anyway we put a swimsuit over it and wash it with the rest of our cloth diapers. Just be careful once he has it on, I've gotten peed on twice already :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-all-about-cloth-swim-diapers#post-1363876 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:38:26 +0000 autumnlove 1363876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like iplay and Bummis! No inserts required. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-all-about-cloth-swim-diapers#post-1363873 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:36:33 +0000 Weagle 1363873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love our Imse Vimse diapers. They're super thin and snap on the side. iPlay is popular, but I don't love them because they're quite thick and pulling down a wet, poopy swim diaper sucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-all-about-cloth-swim-diapers#post-1363865 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:34:43 +0000 Bluebonnet 1363865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>iPlay seems to be the most popular swim diaper brand where I live. No inserts, just wear the diaper.</p> <p>Check the rules for the class you are signing up for. Some have very specific requirements on swim diapers (some pools prefer reusable swim diapers, others prefer disposable swim diapers). </p> <p>As was previously mentioned, swim diapers are designed only to contain solids, not liquids. So we don't put on swim diapers until right we are at the pool (as to avoid accidents in the car seat). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-all-about-cloth-swim-diapers#post-1363763 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:12:45 +0000 heartonastring 1363763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No inserts required...just throw the diaper on and go. They aren't supposed to catch pee, just poop. You can use the swim diaper by itself, or put a swimsuit over top. I'd recommend the brands I have but they're both made in Canada and, I suspect, not available in the US.</p> <p>After each use I cold water wash and tumble dry on low, per the instructions. We haven't had any poops in them yet though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-all-about-cloth-swim-diapers#post-1363750 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:10:04 +0000 Alivoo01 1363750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the water and want to introduce DS to swimming soon by enrolling him in waterbaby classes! I hear great things about cloth swim diapers versus the disposable ones. So let me know what all I need to know about them!</p> <p>For instance, do I need to buy inserts for the swim diapers or can he just wear the swim diaper and be good to go? Any brand preferences and is their sizing true to size? etc. Thanks ladies!! </p>
