“Once you see and try out FINIS swim diapers you start liking them a lot,” says Amy, a mother of 5 year old Samantha and 2 year old Zack. ” Samantha was feeling jealous after she saw her little brother Zack wearing his new swim diaper. I actually had to promise to get a new swimwear for Samantha as well,because she wanted to swim in style just like her little brother,” recalled Amy. Such were most of the reactions and comments during our FINIS swim diapers testing stage. Moms who got selected to try out FINIS swim diapers came back with mostly positive reviews and reactions. Their children were excited to try on colorful diapers and to show them off in the swimming pool at local YMCA. Some mothers even received inquiries about these swim diapers from other moms. Lets discuss the features of FINIS reusable swim diaper.

The perfect match

First of all size is accurate and fits babies and toddlers well. The overall impression of the diaper’s size was positive. It was not baggy and not too tight. It fit well and stayed on where it was supposed to stay. Because this swim diaper was snug, it didn’t let too much sand in at the beach. It was a big plus for this diaper. Toddlers usually immerse themselves in sand and sandy shore water and they end up with a lot of sand in some body parts that make them very uncomfortable. FINIS swim diaper was great in this regard. It was easy to put it on, even when children were wet and sandy already. If you ever tried to put anything on a wet and sandy toddler then you know how challenging it is! A wider cut out for the legs allowed FINIS swim diaper to be put on without much trouble and taken off with ease. FINIS swim diapers comes in several sizes in order to provide the perfect fit for your baby:

Small: 3-6 months, 9-15lbs.

Medium: 6-12 months, 15-22lbs.

Large: 12-18 months, 22-28lbs.

XLarge: 18-24 months, 28-33lbs.

XXLarge: 24-30 months, 33-38lbs.

3T: 36 months, 34-41 lbs.

4T: 48 months, 38-45lbs.

Good protection from unwanted leaks

The correct size and a snug fit of FINIS swim diaper provides the protection from “poop” leaks into the pool. You are probably aware that neither of swim diapers, disposable or reusable, really absorb anything. Thus, when your baby pees, a swim diaper lets the pee through. Buying disposable diaper, therefore, is quite a waste of money if you think that it will act as a regular disposable diaper. FINIS swim diaper like all the other swim diapers lets the liquids through. However, it keeps the other mess in well. During our testing period we did not experience any yucky leaks. That is another plus for this swim diaper. We would recommend to choose a size based on baby’s weight rather than age, though. If your baby is 19 months old but weights only around 20 lbs. then get a Medium or Large size, because XLarge will be to big.

Exquisite design

Talking about style and design, FINIS swim diaper stands out among its competition with its adorable designs and colors. It looks, just like it is - a designer brand swimming gear. It is stylish and looks cool so your baby can show off at the pool or at the beach. Our toddlers were surely attracting their peer attention. Boys diapers come in blue color with two types of prints. One type of print is “Sailor” style: it has sailboats, lighthouses, flags and fish printed on a blue background. Another print has octopus, star fish, crabs and fish printed on a blue background. Girls swim diapers come in two different colors: bright green with colorful ovals printed on it and a bright pink with yellow, orange and pink bubble prints. The looks of the diaper is exquisite and stands out.

Good durability

The overall quality of the diaper meets the standards and expectations. FINIS swim diapers are made with 100% polyester fabric and chlorine resistant material. You can wash and reuse them again and again and they still maintain their bight colors and shapely design. The care instructions on the diaper say to hand wash in cold water only, however during testing stage we machine - washed them in warm water with a regular detergent at least 10 times and diapers still had the same “new” bright look and not a sign of usage. This swim diaper has somewhat shiny colorful exterior and a white smooth inner layer, all polyester for fast drying and durability. The cost of one diaper is $9.99 per diaper which is a very reasonable price for a high quality and excellent durability reusable swim diaper.
