Below are 8 fun, functional, green options for swim diapers:

Swimmi comes in a variety of fun, unisex prints, has a widely adjustable hook and loop closure, and soft lycra bindings at the legs and back.
  2. Gabby’s ($15.95 CDN) – A popular Canadian-made swim diaper, constructed with an outer layer of nylon Oxford and an inner layer of 100% cotton flannelette. Elastic at the legs and back and a hook and loop closure ensure a snug fit. A unique hook and loop belt-lock system prevents the diaper from accidentally opening. Gabby’s swim diapers also come in a pull-up option.
  3. Kushies ($10.99) – Made with 100% lightweight, quick drying nylon, the Kushies swim diaper is a great option.

The outer layer is available in a number of colors and fun animal appliqués, and the inner layer is soft polyester fabric for comfort.

  • I believe that you have mistakenly labelled the motherease swim diaper as the #4. It is actually the diaper picture #8 (pattern is tie dye diaper is called SUNBURST EXPLOSION) I was the winner of Naming that particular pattern for Mother ease so I am 100% certain.
