OK I know we talked about this not long ago but I think it was in a spam and I can't find it.
DD seems to have a sensitive bum and the pampers swim diapers gave her a rash. She is fine in pampers swaddlers but target brand and the little swimmers have caused issues.
So I was looking at doing a reusable swim diaper but help me. They wear a normal diaper underneath correct? Which brands were recommended? Do they do a good job of keeping the water out?
Yep, just the swim diaper. They don't keep water out, just keep poo in. I've had one poo in a reusable swim diaper and it was pretty well contained. I've got Bummis Swimmis (company is apparently in receivership and hard to find now) and Honest company. Both are good. I will say that I prefer ones that aren't pull on because G tends to be wiggly and I can get them on quicker, but that could also be a familiarity issue.
I have applecheeks reusable. It fits well but we haven't had pool poop yet. They also don't contain pee, but a lot of things I've read have suggested either changing right before getting in pool or using a liner (burp cloth, diaper insert) until ready to hop in pool.
Thanks ladies I think I might just deal with the irritation. We are going to the lake for several days in a couple of weeks so washing it daily is less than ideal and her bum will still be wet which may be the reason for irritation.
I have a Bummis Swimmis and an Applecheeks reusable. I'm super paranoid about DD pooping in my building's pool, so I put on the Applecheeks, which is more permeable, but has good adjustable leg and waist tightness, and then the Bummis over that, which is still water permeable, but seems like it would do better containing a liquidy breastmilk poo.
She has never pooped in them though.
I just rinse them out between uses, like I do with my swimsuit. Only do a full wash every so often. Obviously, if she pooped I would put it in the washer.
I also got the iplay from target. I just rinsed it and laid it to dry, and when we got home I washed it. Worked fine. But we didn't have any poo situations so I can't say how well it would hold, but it seems like the soft interior would hold runny EBF poo.

Same. We have only used it once but were happy with it (no poo though). I got reusable because I thought DD was too small for the smallest disposable kind. They all said about 16 pounds on the package, and she is 14 pounds. I got the size 3-6 months and it is a little snug - I'm not sure it's going to last us all summer.
I bought the 6 to 9 month I think, because I thought DS would be larger by the time we went swimming. But it fit him ok, just a little loose, but stayed on well with the swim trunks over the top.

Just make sure the neoprene diaper is the right size. DS was borderline being too big for his in terms of weight and I didn't want to buy another one for our trip. Pooplosion still ended up coming put. Luckily it was while DH was playing with him on the lounge chair.
