Re: Need recs for clothe/ reusable swim diapers
Do you use these and put the swim suit over this? Are they less bulky that a disposable?
You can buy some at Babies R Us that are great. They're not too expensive, $8 I think, and they fit nicely under a swimsuit. I've also bought thicker ones at our daughter's swim school and some handmade ones off Etsy. The ones I bought from BRU are the best ones.
They're similar to these (might even be the same brand, FINIS) - I bought these as well. (This link shows sold out but you can at least see the style.)

DD has pooped in them once and it held it all in and wasn't difficult to clean.
Here's a link to some on one web site - just google it and you'll get tons of options.

I've always used the Kushies brand with my three kids. We have 4 for DS. We have a pool in the backyard so I always have at least 2 around even if I'm washing 2. They dry pretty quickly and I do use them under his swimsuits. I like them better than some of the other kind that look more like regular underwear because they're adjustable with the velcro and tie. Amazon has them for $10.99.
ETA - The velcro/tie is also nice for when he does poop in them. I can change them like a regular diaper and we don't end up with poop all the way down his legs or anything. :-) I know your DS#2 and mine are about the same size. DS wears a Medium and it should fit him all summer and maybe even next year (if he's not PT by then).
We get ours from Bummis. It's called the "Swimmi" and comes in several cute prints. They attach with velcro so are super adjustable and easy. On our boy they run big so keep that in mind if you order.
To answer the other question: They tend to dry about as fast as a swimsuit. So it depends on the temp, humidity etc. But if you take it off and hang it over a fence or something it dries much faster than on a body, so if you're at the beach all day that's a good idea.
I have one from Bummis, a delaminated Rumparooz pocket that I plan to use, and I've had a iPlay swimsuit.
My daughter has a very slim waist, so the Bummis and Rumparooz with the aplix closure work much better on her.
I got some from Target one year and some online. . . I can't remember the brand.
With DS I've just been using an unstuffed pocket diaper that snaps (so I can get it on nice and tight and be 100% sure that it's not going to come off. . . I would worry about that with velcro).
