Cloth Swim Diapers and Wool Diaper Cover Question.

Just about the swim diapers. I used only cloth diapers for my two kids so please understand I'm pro-cloth. I just have tried the cloth swim diapers and prefer the disposable ones. But let's be honest; no swim diaper will hold pee in a pool. The cloth ones are basically a waterproof cover with a thin fleece coating on the inside, at least the ones I've seen, so it's really up to you. I had a friend over and she borrowed our cloth swim diaper and then her kid had diarrhea in it and although we heard her and removed her from the pool before a leak occurred, I haven't used cloth swim diapers since then. So that's my story. Maybe diarrhea would leak through a disposable swim diaper, who knows? But that's my perspective. Besides, since we only use disposables if we're traveling overnight, I've cleaned off enough poopy diapers to give myself a pass on doing a poopy one that's already sopping wet, and at the pool or a splash park at that.

I am a devote Fuzzibunz user and have no idea how you would use one as a swim diaper!! But I use the cloth iPlay ones, and they work excellent.

The Kissaluvs wool diaper cover don't actually go next to your child's skin (well, part of it touches the skin, but it's not the diaper). But it can still get wet enough that you don't want to put it back on even inside out. So you let it dry inside out and then put it back on right side out to use a second time. You'll need several covers so that you can one on the baby and several drying at the same time.

Regular Fuzzibunz can not be used as swim diapers. They sell a waterproof swim diaper, though, and you can use that in many public pools.

Wool covers are meant to be used when dry, so I would recommend using a different cover when the other is drying. I only use wool at night, and I use thirsties covers during the day. I wouldn't use your fuzzibunz as a swin diaper because the chlorine can affect the fleece inner, and ultimately ruin your fuzzibunz. Bummis makes a great swim diaper, and also any well fitting pul cover (like thirsties) will do the trick!! I sell cloth for a living, and if you have any more questions please let me know!!

By the way swim diapers are only meant to keep poop out of the pool they don't need to be absorbant, and besides who wants to swim with a heavy wet diaper on anyway. The disposable ones are a joke, my hubby and I used disposables on out first, and grabbed a swim diaper to put on her in an emergency, and she immediately leaked right through it when she peed... so they dont hold the pee in either wheather you are in or out of the water!!

i swap out covers, wool or otherwise and either rinse (for my proraps) or turn inside out and let dry, for wool. Then just use them the next change. I on'y have 3 covers that i use regularly and a few spares (just in case).

I would also love to know if there are pool safe cloth diapers, time to google!.

You let it dry and use it next time and put a different cover on. I dont know about fuzzy buns but careful about swim diapers. If yoi are in a pool some have very strict rules. You dont want to be responsible for clearing a pool. Lol

You can use a pocket diaper without the insert as a swim diaper, just make sure its snug around the legs to hold in poo. No swim diaper holds in pee.

For wool covers, you can reuse them several (or many times) by just airing them out between uses. So you need to have 2 or 3 other covers, minimum, so that the most recently used can air between uses. For poopy diapers, you're supposed to rinse and wash with a wool-safe wash (we used Woolite) and re-lanolinize them as needed (google "re-lanolinize wool covers"--it's simple to do).

For swim diapers, we bought Bummis. You could also use a new PUL diaper cover that fits snugly and that hasn't been used for diapers (you don't want to use a used one because it will likely carry bacteria from the diaper/poop/urine into the swimming pool).
