We tried out the Huggies Swim nappies on a recent summer holiday.  They were great for short swims as they don’t bulk up with water anywhere near as much as the regular nappies with waterproof covers, but they wouldn’t keep in any poos!  However, once out of the water, don’t make the mistake that we did and think you can get away with a swim nappy for a few hours instead of a proper one… it ended in a poo-disaster!

They are easy to get on and off with Velcro-like attachments and they are adorned with lovely ‘Finding Nemo’ designs.

Rather than using a Swim Nappy on its own, I would personally feel more comfortable combining a swim nappy with a neoprene outer for extra safety.

There is such a huge array of choice with nappies, not only between brands, but also between styles of nappies from one brand!  So to make things a bit easier, we tested out the Pampers Baby Dry and the Pamper Active Fit to see which one came out the best.  Both were tried in the number 3 size on a 5 month old baby girl.

They are a similar size in terms of dimensions, but in terms of bulk, the Baby Dry was much more padded, Active Fit is 20% slimmer according to the website.  The Active Fit is obviously designed to make it easier for babies to run around without a bulky nappy... however, at 5 months, I am more keen on avoiding leaks than worried about her moving as she is only at the rolling stage.

In terms of leaks, the Pampers Baby Dry stayed true to the name, Rosie did not experience any leaks for three days.  Yet with Active Fit she had typically one leak per day. Both worked well at keeping the moisture away from Rosie's skin and avoiding nappy rash.

Pampers Active Fit is normally more expensive, but is currently on offer at Boots.com

Pampers Baby Dry £6.49 for 36
