Why Use Reusable Swim Nappies?

There are many reasons to consider using reusable swim nappies. Arguably, the 2 major factors are that they are much more cost effective (one nappy can last up to a year) and they are a lot better for the environment. The production of a reusable swim nappy creates less CO2 during manufacture than disposables, and they are not immediately destined for landfill.

Not only that, you will always have a swim nappy available, no quick trips to the shop before lessons, and they are a lot more gentle on baby's sensitive skin. 

In this guide we will look into the reasons why reusable Swim nappies are the best choice.

   Using a reusable nappy for swimming lessons alone will save you £12.41 a year

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 nappies are used in the UK each year, which is the equivalent of:
