| I like the idea of snaps etc so I can get more wear out of them and came across the HC swim nappy. Looks good, but before I go spending $30 on another damn nappy I want to know that it'll work and work for a while. Jack is probably about 9kg by now at 11 months, so I would get the medium which should last him a while. Would it fit properly? And would they last for 2 kids? |

I bought a honey child large swim nappy with the snaps at the side for my nine month old boy (just above the 50th centile so you get an Idea for the size) and it is quite small and quite tight on him. My fav is the nature baby swim nappy. It uses velcro and a tie ( I like snaps and have never used velcro naps) and really loved the fit. Good luck and i hope you find one that suits you :o) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| I haven't tried the HC ones but my Monkey Doodlez (large) has fitted Daniel from 9 months and will last ages yet. It's been through 3 terms of swimming lessons so far. Daniel isn't a chubster either. But the elastic is really good. The fabric part is a little baggy but the elastic both on the legs and waist are really soft and are snug but have lots of stretch left. He could have fitted a medium but I got a large so I didn't have to buy another nappy later on |

I haven't tried the HC swim nappy - I've tried Kushies & Swimmis (by Bummis) and the Swimmis is my favourite by far. It does up just like a disposable and the fit is really comfy. The velro stays really sticky too. Leo wore a large right up until he toilet trained at 15kg as there is heaps of adjustability in size. They're only about $20 from Snazzipants (and other places). -------------

I did wonder about the Swimmis, ta. Didn't know what the velcro would be like.
I have looked into others but I don't want a pull down one for obvious messy reasons, my child is a terror so I can imagine he will poo every single time he has the nappy on just to annoy me! Hmm will look further, just going to use our BG covers over Christmas (river swimming so no chlorine to damage it, I assume it'll be fine) and then buy in the new year. |

We don't often go swimming so I just used the fuzzibunz that I had - not specifically a swim nappy - and that worked fine. As for sizing, the mediums last for ages; in my experience, from 6mos to 2yrs+. -------------  |

we are river and beach swimmers too, they just go bare bum though. there is no public pool here except the school and i just dont like the idea of all the kids weeing in it... it creeps me out. Xavier ALWAYS gets an ear infection when we go to the pools in Auckland too so i have given up on it.
