Happy Nappy™
Happy Nappy™ products are one of our best-sellers here at Splash About. They are loved by parents and highly recommended by 90% of UK swim schools. Faecal leaks can bring swim lessons to a halt, and mean pools have to shut for cleaning, which can be time-consuming and costly.
A neoprene swim nappy can help to lessen the risk of unwanted leaks, keeping your baby comfortable and you feeling confident. The Happy Nappy™ from Splash About is a reliable, reusable neoprene swim nappy, meaning you’re also doing your bit for the environment by eliminating the need for disposable swim nappies that take up to 500 years to decompose in landfill.
Our extensive range of Happy Nappy™ products includes the Happy Nappy™ itself, the world-exclusive Happy Nappy™ Duo, Happy Nappy™ Wetsuit and Happy Nappy™ Costume for babies and Jammers for older children who aren’t yet potty-trained but want to look grown up.
We also recommend checking out the double-layer nappy system and nappy liners to provide a fully fuss-free changing experience.
Our Happy Nappy Duo is a neoprene swim nappy that offers an inner layer lined with silver. Scientifically proven to kill germs that cause tummy bugs such as Cryptosporidium & E.Coli, it helps protect your baby, you, and other swimmers while still providing the same reliable leak protection as the Happy Nappy™.

Happy Nappy FAQ's
The Happy Nappy™ is a single-layer swim nappy designed specifically to contain solids. The Happy Nappy Duo™ is similar in fit but also includes a second inner layer, scientifically proven to kill germs. The Happy Nappy Duo™ meets the swim school's Double Nappy System requirement, while the Happy Nappy™ will need an additional under nappy to meet this criterion.
The Happy Nappy works effectively without an additional swim nappy. If your swim school requires a double nappy, we recommend using our silver-lined nappy wrap or cotton nappy wrap with a nappy liner. Matching swimwear is available for a full swim outfit. Pair with a Baby Wrap or Warm in One to keep babies cosy.
The Happy Nappy™ requires a correct fit for complete leak protection. Since babies vary in size, it's essential to measure your baby accurately and consult the size guide for a snug fit around the waist and thighs. Measure your baby while lying flat and not immediately after a feed. Take measurements around their tummy, across the belly button, and at the fullest part of their thigh. When worn, there should be enough space to fit a finger comfortably around the edges of the seal, with no red marks.
No. As with disposable swim nappies, the Happy Nappy™ does not hold in urine. It is designed to allow water to pass in and out of the nappy to prevent it from becoming waterlogged. However, it is incredibly reliable in containing solids.
Hand wash in cool water and dry away from direct sunlight unless the care label states otherwise. Soiled nappies can be machine washed at 30° with non-biological detergent, but frequent machine washing may reduce longevity.
