  • Swim Diapers

    Swim diapers are made from materials that don’t absorb liquids like regular diapers do so your little one won’t become uncomfortable when playing in the water. Like regular diapers, swim diapers come in both reusable and disposable diapers. Determining which kind is best for you would depend on how often you will be hitting the beach or pool. If you will be spending many summer days in the water it may be more cost-effective to go with a reusable kind, but if you’re only going to have a few pool or beach outings you won’t break the bank by going the disposable route.
