I have been using cloth diapers on my 2 year old since she was about six weeks old. Although I love using them and encourage others to do the same, I realize that not everyone can or wants to make the same choice. I have a suggestion for you if you do not cloth diaper BUT you do take your little one to the pool or splash pad…
WASHABLE SWIM DIAPERS!
These diapers are not only so much cuter than the throw away swim diapers they will also save you SO MUCH money! I remember when Miss M was in diapers (disposables) and we would buy the Huggies Swim Diapers. When she was in swim lessons and also when it was summertime, I swear we had to buy a package every couple of weeks or so. That was money I was literally throwing away especially since she would wear the diaper for such a short amount of time. I hated it but I didn’t know of any other alternative. Then I had C.
With C, we have never used a disposable swim diaper. Rather I use a FuzziBunz cloth diaper that is normally too small on her but if you remove the insert it fits her perfectly. If you don’t have old cloth diapers, etc. then I highly recommend you check out the washable swim diapers that are on the market today.
Here are some pictures of the cuteness:

Swimmis by Bummis in Bubbles Print (Retail $12.75) |
Swimmis in Turtle Print |
As you can see, there are choices for both boys and girls. I just like the girls prints a bit more because I am a bit biased!
I just began cloth diapering! And yesterday was thinking, I wonder if they make washable swim diapers? Guess they do!
