Disposable and Reusable Swim Nappies Comparison Chart

Reusable Swim Diaper

Reusable

Can be reused multiple times so are more eco-friendly than disposables.

Feature tightly woven fabric and secure but comfortable leg and cuffs to fully contain any feces.

Swimming Lesson Approved

Disposable Swim Diaper

Single Use

They will last for the duration of a swimming session but can only be used once

Leak Prevention

Although disposable swim diapers have leg cuffs designed to contain leaks, they offer very limited protection when it comes to preventing feces from entering the pool

Less Sustainable

Made from single use plastics and cannot be recycled

Cheaper Upfront

Lower upfront cost but can be more expensive in the long run — around $14 for a pack of 12

Must be worn with an over diaper

For organized swim classes, disposable swim diapers must be worn with a snug-fitting diaper cover over the top
