bummi My 3 year old is finally potty trained, so swim diapers are now a thing of the past… oh wait, I’m having another baby in 6 weeks, my diaper days are not over. Swim diapers were one thing that, although required by public pools and useful for water play are yet another thing we stuff into a landfill. With all the cloth diapering going on, why not a reusable swim diaper too?

I stumbled on Bummis this morning, and i think I’ve seen my friend Alicia twitter about this before as well, but I thought it worthy of a mention here. Bummis is a cloth diaper company that makes a reusable swim pant. You use it, wash it and use it again. You buy one diaper instead of bag after bag of those expensive disposables. An economical investment if you ask me. They come in a few cute designs (I like the Pizzazz one but that’s me) and fit babies and kids up to 30 lbs.

Check them out: You can check out the Bummi company at their website Bummis.com, and you can order a swimmi from any of their retail partners. You can also find them online at many boutiques. (A quick Google will fin dthem at many online shops)

You can also find re-usable swim diapers that are cloth and terry at One Step Ahead — I’ve used them and they work well.

There are also swimsuits that come with built in swim diapers. iPlay is the one I chose for my girls.

Swimmis are GREAT! Easy to use and effective – you won’t be the mom that clears the pool with this swim diaper! We love the pizzaz too.

I think I’ll be ordering one of these.

I have to admit that I don’t use cloth diapers so my question is how to wash it effectively when there is only ONE diaper! Any suggestions?

I have one of these (LOVE IT). I confess I don’t use cloth diapers either, so(so far)I have washed it with my son’s regular clothes as there haven’t been any messes in it (yet — yay!). I plan on handwashing out the poop etc. should the need arise and then put it in my regular wash. As for soap residue build up which affects absorbancy, I will use dishsoap to remove it. See the article on Weecare’s website for the how-to (when you need-to)

Washing Swimmis: Just throw it in with your swimsuit/towels after swimming. Air dry. Simple, that is it! If there is poop involved, you may wish to rinse the swimmi prior to throwing it in the wash.
Swimmis always come with instructions, don’t worry! Have fun with the cutest baby bum at the pool
