What Size Nappy Do I Need? A Guide to Getting the Right Fit

Choosing the right size nappy for your baby or toddler can be daunting, especially for swimming nappies. With so many options available, it’s essential to find a product that fits comfortably, performs well, and keeps your little one secure in the water. Splash About is here to help you navigate the sizing process, ensuring you choose the perfect swim nappy for your child.

Why Sizing Matters

The right-sized nappy is key to preventing leaks, ensuring comfort, and maintaining freedom of movement in the water. Ill-fitting swim nappies can cause discomfort for your child and lead to accidents in the pool, disrupting swim time for everyone.

Splash About’s Happy Nappy is specially designed to provide a snug, secure fit while being soft and comfortable for delicate skin.

How to Choose the Right Size

1. Use Our Sizing Guide

2. Measure Your Child

Accurate measurements are critical:

• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your child’s waist.
• Thighs: Measure around the thickest part of their thighs.

3. Account for Growth

Babies and toddlers grow quickly, so choosing a size that allows for some growth is wise. However, avoid sizing up too much, as an overly loose nappy may compromise fit and function.

4. Consider Elasticity

The Happy Nappy features a stretchy yet secure material that adapts to your child’s body shape, making it forgiving for small fluctuations in size.
