Okay, so, I have never really thought about swim diapers before this week. We are taking a trip with DD to North Carolina in July and will have LOTS of pool/lake time.
I had never thought about swim diapers not holding pee and only holding poo and only formed poos before.
What are the best solutions for swim diapers? Which are the best for holding waste?
I think I am making this more complicated than I need to (typical), but I am totally confused about which kind to use/how often to change them/what all they hold.
When you suggest what kind, please feel free to be as specific as possible, I am clueless.
TIA!
Re: Still don't get swim diapers
So, yea, I'm with you.. disposable swim diapers only hold poo, too, apparantly.. I thought they held pee also, but nope, learned that the hard way when I laid down DS on the bed in one and he peed all over the bed.. thanks, Huggies, for mentioning that on the packaging!
I bought a reusable i-play swim diaper and I put it OVER top of a regular disposable diaper.. granted DS was only in the water for 45 minutes.. but, when I took the reusable one off, the disposable was still holding strong! It wasn't blown up at all! SO, this will be our method going forward.. I've not tried the iplay re-usable without a disposable underneath, so I'm not sure if that stops pee, too.. I don't think so though?
I'm so confused because I thought at a public pool, as long as your kid was in a swim diaper, that was fine.. but, if the swim diaper lets the pee through, doesn't that defeat a majority of the purpose? *Shrugs*

I use the iplay reuse able swim diapers. They don't hold pee but in a public pool there is plenty of chlorine to "kill" anything nasty and in a lake, pond whatever lets face it, everyone pees in those.
Link has pooped in his swim diaper and it held it just like a normal diaper would. When I noticed I changed his diaper. We have 2 with us when we go swimming just for that reason.
