Save Money
A reusable swim diaper is half the cost per wear of a disposable swim diaper:
Using a reusable diaper for swimming lessons alone will save you $26 per year
- Pack Lighter for Holidays
The Happy Nappy™ swim diaper weighs just 60g, thats 94% less than 2 packs of disposables
Going solely by the number of baby swimmers, reported by the 206 respondents to a 2014 survey by the Swimming Teachers’ Association, * a minimum of 943.8cm3 of (non-swelling) swim diapers are used in the UK each year, which is the equivalent of:
22.5 learner pools
Baby swimming lessons last only 30mins - thats 500 years in landfill for a product that's been used for just half an hour!

Reusable swim diapers are very easy to use – we always recommend rinsing our Happy Nappy swim diaper in cool water and leaving to dry away from direct sunlight. However, if the diaper is heavily soiled, we suggest a cool machine wash with non-biological detergent. Regular machine washing may affect the benefits the Happy Nappy provides. Read more here
