As a parent, preparing for your baby’s first trip to the beach can feel exciting—and a bit overwhelming. It's important to protect your babies delicate skin with a Sun Hat, Rash Vest and one essential item that can make a world of difference is a Reusable Swim Nappy. Choosing the right swim nappy ensures your baby stays comfortable, protected, and mess-free in the water. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about reusable swim nappies, and everything else you need to get your baby ready for a day at the beach!
Do Swim Nappies hold wee?
Reusable swim pants are designed for the containment of poos only. Normal swimwear offers no protection against wees whereas single-use swim pants would hold water and swell up.
How do swim nappies work?
Just pull on and prepare to plunge! When you head to the beach, a Revolutionary Reusable Swim Nappy is the only item your baby needs. No extra protection is required.
Can you Reuse Swim Nappies?
After you're out of the water, rinse your swim nappy and store it for up to 3 days in our Out & About Wet Nappy Bag before washing. Pop them in your machine along with your reusable nappies and wash at 40°C. Finally, air dry or tumble dry on low.

How can I help my baby get ready for the pool?
Having a splash at home in the bath is a great way to get your baby ready for the water before you begin swimming in a pool. Get your baby used to the feel and movement of the water, noises, colours and splashes which will be similar to the pool environment. This will prepare your little one for the new experience when all of their senses will be working at the same time.
What is the difference between a nappy for the beach and a nappy for the swimming pool?
The Bambino Mio® Swim Nappy still contains solid waste, but they’re designed with comfort, freedom of movement in mind, rather than meeting the stricter leak-containment standards required in pools. And they match our sun-protective rash tops and sun hats.
If you’re a parent taking your child for regular pool visits or swim lessons, the Splash About Happy Nappy is the top choice. Many swim schools actually require it because it’s designed with a snug fit around the waist and thighs, offering superior containment of poo leaks. This is essential for hygiene in a shared swimming environment, as it greatly reduces the risk of contamination in the water. It’s also chlorine-resistant, reusable, and long-lasting, making it ideal for repeated pool use.
