MotherEase Swim Diapers$22.98
Bummis Swimmi Reusable Swim Diaper ... the best swim diaper option around.
Bummis Swimmi reusable swim diaper is a trim-fitting diaper cover that hugs a baby's bottom like a glove without looking baggy. The cotton exterior is soft to the touch for both caregivers and baby alike. These diaper covers are not the rough or scratchy nature of a cover constructed with vinyl. Absorbency is not required in a swim pant, which is something a disposable swim diaper manufacturer might lead you to believe. These reusable swim diapers work great in a home pool, public pool, lake or while on vacation. This is by far one of our favourite and most popular products. You won't be disappointed!
Why parents love Bummis Reusable Swimmi Diaper Covers:
- Save money on disposable swim pants. The Swimmi can be washed & reused!
- An interior mesh lining increases the flow of air and aids in holding the cover (and messes!) in place.
- The SMALL size is modified with an innovative overlapping Velcro closure design to ensure super softness and a fit that really works on the average newborn.
- Perfect for travel! These pack way better than disposable swim diapers ever will.
- A super adjustable three inch tummy panel of Velcro that won't wear out.
- Soft and stretchy lycra bindings around tummy and legs.
- Lightweight waterproof fabric will not harden, crack or yellow over time.
- Makes a great swim diaper! Simply use alone (without a diaper) in a slightly smaller size.
- Easy care. Machine washable in warm water and hang to dry.
- Made in Canada and designed & created by Canadian moms.
The perfect Baby Swim Diapers! The Swimmi is a Bummis version of their "Original" diaper cover, constructed of an exterior layer of cotton laminate in fun prints. It has a cool mesh lining which helps to contain messes inside the diaper cover. The Bummis Swimmis is a reusable, super lightweight and breathable swim diaper with the same legendary fit and stretchy, comfortable lycra bindings that have made Bummis diaper covers world-renowned. We love the cute prints which make for a styling poolside impression at home, at the beach or on vacation.
Effective, environmentally-friendly, economical, chemical-free and cute.
What more could you ask for? A Swimmi will hold waste much better than a disposable swim diaper. The Swimmi is highly adjustable and you can easily tighten the swim diaper, as with any cloth diaper cover, around the waist and thigh area. The soft, gentle elastic will contain any mess from leaking around the legs or out the back of the swim diaper. The Swimmi reusable swim diaper is a much more effective, environmentally-friendly and attractive option to disposable swim pants. Most importantly, the Swimmi reusable swim diaper is chemical-free.
How do you use a Bummis Cotton Diaper Cover as a swim diaper? Easy! Choose a size smaller than you would normally use when using a diaper underneath, and simply leave the diaper out! When paired with a t-shirt on a hot summer day, there is no need to put your baby in anything else. Perfect for the beach, the pool or just hanging out in the backyard, when used as a swim diaper, the Bummis Cotton cover will keep your baby cool and comfortable.
Can the Swimmi be used in a public pool setting?
Yes! If your public pool won't allow a reusable swim diaper, we would love the opportunity to challenge their thinking. Many public pools are under the assumption that a disposable swim diaper is more absorbent or hygienic than a reusable swim diaper because the absorbency is "built-in". However many are unaware of how the absorbency of a disposable diaper actually works.
A disposable swim diaper instantly absorbs liquid, which means the moment your baby or child goes in the pool, the diaper will quickly reach it's maximum absorbency level. Have you ever seen a toddler with a disposable swim diaper come out of the pool and walk around? The diaper almost always looks soggy, droopy and hangs lower than when the diaper was first put on (dry). As soon as a disposable swim diaper is wet it becomes LESS effective at containing waste!
If your public pool is under the assumption that a disposable product is better for their environment, ask them where they think the waste and urine will go as soon as a baby or child is put in the pool. Chances are, they haven't actually considered this. A simple experiment using a disposable swim diaper immersed in water will show how quickly it "fills" with water and becomes ineffective. We won't even mention the chemical gels that are used inside disposable swim diapers, causing the massive absorption rates. We're actually surprised public pools don't insist on reusable swim diapers. Who wants to be swimming around with that?!?
Functional and fun, this diaper cover/swim diaper is available in white and a variety of unisex prints.

My search for the best reusable swim diaper is over!! Review by Nicole
Price Value Quality I bought one of these swim diapers for each of my children, one small, one medium, and one large. I love the different designs and don't even bother to put swim trunks over top on my 4 month old, I just don't want to cover up the cute swim diaper. The designs are all gender neutral too so my youngest will eventually wear all of them. You can get a package of [disposable] swim diapers for a little less than the price of a Swimmi but these last way longer than 10 uses and is better for the environment. The most important thing to remember with using a Swimmi is that they don't hold in the pee so don't put it on until it's needed. I've tried a few different reusable swim diapers and this is the only one that has held in the really loose newborn poop, which saves me from a lot of embarrassment!! We go swimming often and it's nice to know that my kids are keeping the water clean.
Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!

Love it Review by Tara
Price Value Quality I really like this swim diaper. Bummis is a great, quality brand. The velcro is super strong, and I like the wide area to fasten it to. The prints are cute! Great fit. I wish it had laundry tabs though. (Posted on 1/1/11)

My favourite swim diaper Review by Nikki
Price Value Quality These fit well, are easy to get on and off a wet, squirmy baby, and look adorable. I've tried other swim diapers but I'm now a Swimmi devotee. I was concerned that the velcro would stick to my swimsuit, but it's not a problem at all - and I wash them with our swimsuits with no problems. Just stick the tabs onto the diaper as if you were putting it on the baby before washing.
Of course, different pools have different rules, but reusable cloth diapers haven't been a problem at the city-owned pools in Ottawa. (Posted on 1/1/11) -
Love the Swimmi! Review by Barbara
Price Value Quality My in-laws have a swimming pool, so we spend lots of time in the water. The Swimmi is perfect - it holds in the poop, and is completely adorable. The only problem is that the velcro can pull on your swimsuit. (Posted on 1/1/11)

Economical Solution Review by Jennifer
Price Value Quality Buy a pair of these for the price of a package of disposables!
Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
The wide velcro makes for a custom fit and I can assure you, based on experience that this diaper holds in even the nastiest of accidents! LOL.
Because of the weight range, I was actually able to get two summers our of my Swimmi. Of course they demonstrate the Bummi's quality and I'll be using one of our pair for a third child this summer! (Posted on 1/2/11)

Super cute! Review by Casey
Price Value Quality This swim diaper is super cute! I love it. The fit is really nice, great fabric and nicely made. The velcro tabs seem really durable. My little one can get out of bumGenius diapers no problem but hasn't managed to undo her Swimmi.
Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
I haven't yet had a poop to deal with so I can't comment on that. But, you do have to remember that the diaper doesn't hold pee so you can't put in on until you're at the beach, pool, or where ever.
My only critique of the Swimmi is that it doesn't have laundry tabs. I would prefer to launder it flat but then the velcro sticks to everything. (Posted on 7/14/10)

So cute, but fades in chlorine Review by Toniette
Value Quality Price I bought this to take my son swimming at the local pool over the winter, and it really works great! Haven't had a poop to contend with, just pee. It's so cute! The only thing I was disappointed in is that the colours faded severely after just 1 swim.
A message from the bynature.ca team: Unfortunately some fading should be expected when using the Swimmi (or any clothing) in a chlorinated pool, since chlorine is like a bleach. Clothing will fade to varying degrees, depending on the level of chlorine in a particular pool, so fading to this extent likely indicates a heavily chlorinated pool (the case with many public pools). In a salt-water pool or open water (beach), fading should be less evident.
