XP: Can I use cloth diapers to swim in?

JKTTC1

Figured I might get more responses here!

I posted a few days ago about getting reusable swim diapers. Thanks for the advice. Based on the answers, I will be ordering the iplay from amazon. I saw that zulily has some Royal Fluff cloth diapers on sale today. It got me thinking...could I use those to swim in? I'm not familiar with the cloth diapers but could I use this without the inserts under his bathing suit?

Otherwise I was planning on ordering the iplay swim diaper from amazon. TIA!

I think the swim diapers have to be water-proof....don't know if the ones you mentioned above are or not.  Forgive me for not being more helpful!  We just signed up for swim lessons today and they said that we could use the disposable swim diapers or plastic ones (plastic liner)....whatever that means.

You dont need a special swim diaper. I just use my GroVia shells with no insert on both kids. As long as it contains poo that is all that matters really

 This. Swim diapers are just poop catchers.

 So if I order these from zulily it will catch the poo and can be washed?

Yep, just don't use the inserts. They'll work fine. Swim diapers aren't waterproof. 

 

 

 

Thanks! I'll order these since they snap off on both sides.

The chlorine will effect the waterproofness of the diaper. It will continue to work fine as a swim diaper but it will not work as a regular diaper afterwards, but it sounds like you don't use cloth anyway. Just don't resell it on craigslist or something to someone who wants to use it as a regular diaper.

I only plan to use it as a swim diaper! Not reselling anyway!
