ECONAPS SWIM NAPPIES
Healthy for the environment and for your little one? Tick! Tick! Salty, summer beach days are better with these eco friendly alternative to traditional swim nappies.
EcoNaps are a reusable swim nappy designed to catch solids only, while letting go any liquids to keep baby comfortable. That means no more soggy, heavy nappy dragging behind bubs in the sand! ICK!
Each size has multiple snap options so you can get the perfect fit for bub, and comes in small (6-8kg), medium (8-10kg) and large (10-13kg).
Designed in Byron Bay, by a small eco-friendly business, available in three stunning prints (with names like Xanadu, Wanderlust and Vintage Blossom how can you go wrong?) you just know coming from Byron that these are sun and sand approved!
EcoNaps also sell mini wet bags to transport your wet nappies; leak resistant and smell proof, you can chuck them in the wash with the nappies after use!

SPEEDO AQUA NAPPY
Speedo has been a household name for decades when it comes to fun in the sun, and they have swimmers for the whole family!
The Toddler Speedo Neoprene Aquanappy is perfect for having fun in the pool or at the beach whilst staying protected from the sun, and any little accidents that might happen.
The good people at Speedo say they are designed to wear over disposable nappies, but anecdotally… there’s plenty of evidence online to suggest they can be worn just as effectively without!
AQUA BLU SWIM NAPPY
Inspired by the strength and confidence of their main collection, the Aqua Blu Kids range places an emphasis on creating unique and high-quality swimwear for active girls and boys, and the prints are just as cute as can be.
With collections made using LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ swim fabric (which we’re told is code for SUPER STRETCHY), the Australian brand presents long-lasting, high-tech one-pieces, separates and rash vests designed to keep kiddos safe in the sun without sacrificing style or comfort.
- Slim fit
- LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ swim fabric; generous stretch
- Elasticised waistband
- Inner lining for nappy
PEA PODS SWIM NAPPY
Pea Pods Swimming Nappies are contoured for ease of movement in the water, with soft elastic at legs and tummy provide leak free containment.
With a waterproof, breathable outer layer and built in absorbency, they are also perfect for small accidents and toilet training, yep you read that right, these are multipurpose and can be used for toilet training too… and we do so love a multi-use buy!
Disposable Swim Nappies
Not keen? You can always buy single-use disposable swim nappies if cleaning out and washing reusable swim nappies just isn’t for you. They’re kind of like pull-ups and designed to be thrown out after they’ve been worn, but some mums swear by washing, drying and reusing them a couple of times if they’ve not copped a number 2 on the beach!
