Here's a tip: Don't buy swim diapers!
With the insert removed, bumGenius 4.0s, which are still Buy 5, Get 1 free, work as a swim diaper.
So now you're probably wondering, "Will pool chemicals harm my beloved cloth diaper or void my warranty?" The answer is NO! Pool chemicals will not affect or harm the function or quality of your cloth diapers. Just be sure to rinse your diapers thoroughly after use at the pool or beach.
If you have an extra bumGenius 4.0 lying around, we recommend designating one to use exclusively as a swim diaper.
For even more reusable swim diapers, check out the Vacation Essentials section on cottonbabies.com!
I've been using an old 3.0 with worn out velcro closures as my son's swim diaper for more than 1 year now! I just fasten it with an extra piece of velcro (bought a 6 inch strip of by the yard velcro from fabric store, but you only need the scratchy part) stretched across the tabs on the diaper to lock it on. This trick also works on some of my other diapers that need a little extra sticking power or to lock it on a toddler who likes to take his diaper off! You only really need one velcro strip since it doesn't really get dirty! My original stash is going on my 3rd son now!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! This will save me some $ and time!
ReplyDeleteIf there is no insert, does the pee or poo leak out into the pool? Maybe I'm not understanding correctly?
