Kushies Swimsuit Diaper (Review)

My hat’s off to all of the cloth-diapering mamas out there.  I gave it a try and found that it was not for me.  If you’re a million times more dedicated to your cloth-diapering regimen, you will love the Swimsuit Diaper by Kushies.  And if you’re not, this swim diaper can be used as a bikini bottom over your child’s disposable diaper. That’s how I used it.

Featuring a quick-drying nylon outer shell and a 100% cotton-terry inner lining, this swim diaper was made for comfort and optimum protection against leaks.  Many swim clubs require that children wear plastic bottoms over their diaper, and I saw this as a much more comfortable alternative.  Kushies has a selection of bright unisex patterns as well as styles for girls, and patterns for boys.  The sizes range from small to extra-large based on weight as per the sizing chart.

Small          6-14 lbs/3-6 kg
Medium    14-25 lbs/6-11 kg
Large        25-40 lbs/11-18 kg
X-Large    35-50 lbs/16-23 kg

 

Since Emma now weighs 26 pounds, I requested a size large for her.  It barely fit her waistline, which surprised me because she is very thin and tall.  We tried this out at our swim club and I paired it with a UV-protected top.  I really liked the ease of getting this on and off.  This swim diaper is fastened at the sides like a regular diaper, but using velcro.  Far easier than having my daughter lean on me as she steps her legs through, and a thousand times faster.

The swimsuit diaper is eco-friendly and economical, with a price tag of only $10.99 a pair.  Kushies has offered a ten percent discount for my readers by using the promotion code: pennypinch2010 at checkout.

No compensation was received for this post, but I did receive the product discussed free of charge in order to facilitate my review.  All of the opinions above are 100% my own.
