 Some Pros & Cons Feb 13, 2011
By BeachMom
Bought this Bummis swim diaper along with trying the Flap Happy and iPlay brands (wrote rviews for those as well).
-Pros for the Bummis reusable diaper: Very cute styles, very easy to get on & off due to the velcro (works more like putting on a diaper versus pulling up swim diapers on a wiggling 1-year old). The pool center where my son takes swim class requires BOTH a disposable little-swimmers like diaper and a reusable or swim short over top (so much for being green). This diaper works especially well over a disposable. Also, they seem very true to size. Bought the large for my 1-year old ~23lbs and it fits him but with plenty of room to grow (and over a disposable).
-Cons: No absorbant layer or padding inside, just a mesh lining. The iPlay swim diap is much better in terms of leak-proofing. Also, since the legs and waist aren't elastic if, god forbid, there's a #2 situation I wouldn't trust this diaper to hold anything in. I won't be using this swim diap on its own in our community pool, but I will use the iPlay brand solo.
-Toss-up: The velcro sides make for easy on/off but can cause snags and collects fuzzies when put into the dryer with our pool towels.
Four stars for using over a disposable for those of us who have to. Would rate lower if worn solo.

 Super swim dipe, and very cute Dec 28, 2010
By twinmama13
We bought a couple of these for our two weeks in Maui for our 4 month old twins, 12 and 15 pounds - girl/boy. The colors/patterns were very unisex and looked super cute on both of them with their blue and hot pink rash shirts. My dad was super paranoid about the babies in the pool because the week before (they live there) someone's grandkids contaminated the pool and they had to shut down and he didn't want to be "that guy." Despite his paranoia we swam swam swam and the diapers seemed a snug but comfortable fit and I felt good that poo wouldn't escape. I will warn you that they are not water tight so urine goes right thru - fine for pool and beach not for in the condo on the couch when you are trying to get second baby dressed and sun-screened for pool. I think the only swim dipes with absorption are the disposable but even those are not the best and you have to take them off right out of the water and replace because they are swishy soaked. These you can leave on and let the child dry in the air or take off and put on lounge chair or umbrella where they dried very rapidly. Great for my little ones probably super good for older baby / toddler that pees less often - mine are still like puppies - just letting lose at every cool breeze.

These are worth every penny!!! Jul 28, 2011
By K'nala
I bought two of these when we signed our 6 month old up for swim classes. He's worn these twice a week for the past 8 months. They are great!!! Again for those that complain that they don't absorb urine..------- SWIM DIAPERS ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO ABSORB URINE!!! That would totally defeat the point of a diaper for swimming. My boy did a number 2 only a couple of times and this swim suit caught it all just fine. Nice snug fit and they wash incredibly well. The velcro gets a little tattered, but honestly, for 8 months of weekly washing, they are so well made. These are very appropriate for an infant/early toddler to wear alone without being bulky. He received so many compliments on them. He's now a bit bigger and wearing little boy trunks, but we put these underneath the trunks to catch any potties, because they will hold so much better than the trunks----they are that good!! Get them, you wont be disappointed.

 Does not contain #2 Jun 10, 2011
By M.C-S.
So we had high hopes for this swim diaper. Our son is 18.5lbs and wears a M. Unfortunately, the M does not fit too well, it gets all saggy and the other day we had an accident in the wading pool and voila EVERYTHING came out of the diaper. It did not contain anything. If you are looking for something to have more elastic around the legs and something that fits snug try Finis swim diaper or iPlay. Supposedly those work better...this one did not cut it for us.

the large still isnt that big Jul 09, 2009
By Scott T. Strachan
"scott"
This product works well. It is just as effective as the little dipper swim diapers that you can buy that are disposable. The best part is that you can use it over & over. Bear in mind what they are used for. If you arent comfortable with cleaning something up that has poo in it then maybe these arent for you. They fit well but when I ordered them I was concerned that a large may be too big. Unfortunately my son has already outgrown them. I guess it is hard to tell when you are ordering a product like this online. He is not quite 2 years old and of average size. There have been some floaters that have escaped while in the pool but no worse than any other product. Somehow its ok if my son makes #2 in the pool. Anyway I think you would be hard pressed to find anything that is completely effective at preventing escapage until you have a kid that is potty trained. As gross as it is there really aren't any alternatives.
