Ok, We are enrolled in swimming classes. YAY!!!! And they have specified that he must wear swimmers, not disposables and not cloth. So what is different about a swimmer? and which ones do people recommend?
I saw a thread earlier that suggested for home use a pocket without an insert could work...would that apply for a public pool? Are swimmers made from a different fabric to PUL? Thanks |

mothers instinct have some... that should give you an more of an idea if you have a look at hers.
i dont think an unstuffed pocekt would work for a public pool, it would have to be really tight to avoid any leaks of a serious nature...  ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

| Swimmers look like undies basically but different fabric and nice snug elastic to make sure nothing gets out |

I am coveting Monkey Doodlez swimmers for the gremlins, they currently have med Bummis ones but they are getting too short in the rise and I worry about whether they will "contain" any accidents. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

JK have swim naps, and the Warehouse. PP too. They can be a bit hard to find out of season though. Can buy them online too from nappy sites and baby sites. ------------- Andie |

I've always used a cloth swim nappy for Leo - I've tried Kushies and Swimmis (by Bummis). The fit of the Swimmis is waaaaay nicer than the Kushies, but after constantly weekly swim lessons the elastic practically disolved in the Swimmis
