One of the most exciting things for a parent is taking baby to the pool or beach for the first time. There’s something so sweet about watching your little one paddle and splash about, all from the safety of your arms.

All the first moments with your child are exciting and precious. Documenting and treasuring their achievements, laughter and reactions makes them all the more special and
something you’ll look back on for years to come. Sometimes there are mishaps, but that’s ok too. They all become part of the memory.

But it’s good to keep things floating along nicely, that’s why we recommend packing a good pair of reusable swim nappies as you head out the door to your first date at the pool.

When it comes to swimming pants, or any pants really, how they fit, and feel is very important.
If the swim nappy is too tight, it may cause your little one to feel discomfort. If it’s too loose, accidents won’t stay contained.

Bamboo Grove Swim Nappies are the ideal blend of comfort and protection. They feature soft elastics to help keep the nappy secure without being too tight or pinching your baby’s tummy.

The more often we can reuse and recycle, the better we are able to reduce our impact on the environment. That’s why reusable swim nappies are such a good idea. It doesn’t matter if your little one loves to swim for fun or if they’re showing promise as a contender for the Olympics, conserving our natural waterways for their future enjoyment is a top priority.

But in the meantime, these handy little swim nappies will save you money and time in the long run. No more last minute trips to the supermarket to hunt for disposable swim nappies. As a parent, that’s a true cause for celebration.

If you’ve managed to get your bub out for a swim session and find that no accidents transpired, you’re in luck! Simply give the swim nappy a rinse in fresh, cold water and hang up to dry.

However, if your nappy did its job well and saved the pool, and every other unsuspecting swimmer, from unwelcome floaties, there’s a few extra steps you need to take to get it clean and ready for next time.

First dispose of solids by flushing them down the toilet. Give the swim nappy a good rise prior to washing. Set your machine on a gentle wash cycle between 40 – 60°C. Once the cycle is complete, hang the nappy out to dry. Voila! Ready for your next pool adventure.

Taking your baby to the pool is no small feat. There is a lot of preparation beforehand and a lot of clean up afterwards. You’ve got to shower yourself and baby, wash towels and bathers, feed a hungry post-exercise baby, as well as yourself. Why not store those wet reusable swim nappies in a wet bag until you have some time to get to them?
