The reusable are much easier to take off in my opinion... Unless they poop then it's a lot easier to cut off a disposable!

We just started swim lessons and I bought a reusable swim dipe by apple cheeks. I really like it. It has adjustable snaps so fits from 7-23 lbs. We haven't had a poop yet so can't comment on that but so far I love the reusable ones. They're super cute too! Seems like it'll save some money in long run as disposables are pretty pricey. When I go to cottage and Florida I just have to bring the one dipe instead of a package.

What kind of resuable does everyone have?

I have the iPlay ones I think. They are good like someone else said unless they poop in them.

Here is what we have done. If its going to be a quick pool trip, like a swim lesson or just a jump in we use a reusable one.

But for vacation where they are going to be in it for several hours we used a disposable just in case they pooped over that longer time period.

@Smurfette: we have the applecheeks reusable swim diaper. it's not cheap ($20), but i wanted ones with snaps instead of velcro. i had heard the velcro can stick on other swimsuits and cause snags. i was probably being overly and weirdly cautious in this regard. otherwise i would have gotten the bummis swim diapers.

also, i wanted a swim diaper that came apart at both sides, like a real diaper. some swim diapers only disconnect at one side, with the other side more like grown-up underwear, meaning if the baby poops, you have to slide the wet swimsuit down the entire length of one leg while not trying to get poop everywhere.

@Smurfette: I use apple cheeks. There are three sets of snaps on both sides. They look just like a cloth diaper cover. If I had a boy I'd likely just let him wear that and not put a bathing suit over top. I put a swimsuit on my little girl over top.

I used ImseVimse last year and love them, but I may try an Apple Cheeks. I prefer both sides opening.

It depends where we are swimming. If it was the ocean, I would put my son in just his swimsuit, it has the netting that was very close fitting and it would catch the poop if he did any.

For a pool, I prefer a reusuable, because even though the disposables don't "hold"water, they get really waterlogged and bulky.

Bummies reusable have been out go to with a skinny kid. We take him to lessons once a we and have only had one issue when he had a very loose bowel movement in a pool (wouldn't have taken him in if I realized he had been ill.

When she was smaller, we had to use the reusable ones because nothing else fit. But now that she's bigger, I like the disposable ones because the reusable ones always seem to cut into her legs.
