Swim Diaper 101

Credit: PhotoAlto/ Matton

Watching your baby giggle as he splashes excitedly during his very first dip is the sweetest. Realizing when they announce "Everybody out! We need to shock the pool" that your budding Michael Phelps was the cause? Less sweet. The right swim diaper is key.

You'll find plenty of swim diapers to choose from, but they all have one thing in common: they're not absorbent like a regular diaper, but designed only to hold in solids. (Pee will pass through, but that's why public pools are so heavily chlorinated. It's the bacteria in poo that's the problem.)

You can choose reusable swim diapers, which can be washed, or disposables. Each have their fans among parents. Worth noting: If your baby is exclusively breastfed or hasn't yet started solids (in either case he'll have poop that is more liquid than solid), reusables tend to do a better job than disposables. Still, you'll want the backup of plastic pants over the swim diaper, as well as really snug fit around the legs.

Here are some of the best baby swim diapers you can pick up this season.

This company's business practices are impressive, too: If anything happens to one of their swim diapers, they refund your money and give you a new one. Plus, 5 percent of their sales go to Compassion International.

Huggies Disposable Swim Diapers

Shop Here

If your family doesn't swim much, disposable swim diapers, like the classic Huggies Little Swimmers, may wind up to be the less expensive option. Little Swimmers have sides that open and re-close much like a regular diaper, so the fit is just right. The material is extra stretchy, so these are as comfortable while he dozes on your lap poolside as they are in the water.
