Review: Bambino Mio Swim Nappy

May 29, 2010 by Paul Banas Leave a Comment

We’ve been using a bulky swim diaper underneath our kid’s bathing suit for a while now in an effort to be eco-friendly and fair to those we share a pool with. It’s bulky, sticks out of our daughter’s bathing suit and there is something kind of gross about wringing it out after she’s taken it off.

412IdxMTdyL._SL160_.jpgBut now comes the Bambino Mio Swim Nappy. Bambino Mio has offered us two new options – a bathing suit with a built-in Swim Nappy and a Swim Nappy, which is basically a pair of swim pants with a built in liner that doesn’t absorb “accidents” but rather traps it inside the pant itself with a waterproof liner, and leakproof legs/waist. In spite of how thin & lightweight the Swim Nappy appears, it actually retains quite a bit of fluid and overall is a much better option than other swim diapers I’ve seen out there. Here’s my list of the pros and cons:

Pros:

– Quite absorbent, given how thin & lightweight it is. Not bulky.

– Soft and easy to put on.

– Bathing suit with built-in swim nappy is very convenient. I only had to get my kid’s attention once as I wrestled her into her bathing suit.

– Daughter feels like a “big girl” as she went into the pool “diaper-less.” She was psyched to wear it.

– Swim nappy itself is easy to wear and thin enough to wear comfortably under other bathing suits.

– According to my wife, cute patterns.

– Eco-friendly

– Easy to take off

Cons:

– To be honest, I can’t think of any cons to the Swim Nappy. Given the alternatives – bulky reusable swim diaper or disposable swim diapers – I’d pick the Swim Nappy any day.

– Oh, here’s one. I had to convince my daughter’s swim coach that she did, indeed, have a swim diaper on. It’s that thin.
