Disposable swim diapers - what size?

saisongbird · June 2014

If we're in a size 1, pampers swaddlers, what size swim diapers and brand would you get? I would prefer sposies. Pampers doesn't seem to come in smaller sizes for swim diapers though. TIA!

I haven't purchased any yet but I've seen the little swimmers in size S at my target. Their sizes go by weight and I think a small was like 12-20 lbs.

This. I haven't seen any other disposable swim diaper brand, but I think they started at 16 lbs. I bought baby swim trunks instead and since LO isn't pooping everyday, I plan on using just trunks without the diaper.

I bought this for LO at Target. Reusable swim diaper, but also this is if you are just having small play and not using the diaper for an all day event.

I haven't found anything that comes small enough for my guy. I bought one of the reusables at Target in a Small but it's still too big for him.

@babylimas‌ how big is your LO now? Eva is 8lbs 6 oz. I put her in an iplay swim diaper (size 10-18lbs), and it was ok. Just too big round the legs. Luckily she didn't poop.

He is a little over 9 lbs. (Woot for no longer having the smallest baby on the board.) It was way too big around the legs, so wouldn't be useful to hold anything in. His low muscle tone mainly affects his lower body, so his hips are really narrow and he has short chicken legs.

I plan on buying some off of Lucie's list, but it is going to have to be something available in stores since I need it ASAP.

No help with the actual question but we have a reuseable one that fits great. The swim diapers from when my older kids were young sucked and didn't work at all.

I've been having the same issue. He is only 11lbs and under the weight limit for sposies.

I just bought a Charlie Banana one in size small for 11-18lbs. I hope it works!

I have the Huggies small but plan to use a reusable over them as backup.

The disposable ones really only work for poos. DD1 has them and they don't absorb pee at all as we learned the hard way after putting her in one before going to the pool...her car seat was soaked by the time we got there.

yup! Don't put LO in a disposable swim diaper until you are ACTUALLY going in the water! :-)
